I am so glad you thought so, Marilyn, and you’ve just reminded me to add it to my commonplace book as well. I would have forgotten to. You are most welcome.

This is beautiful, Penny. I haven’t thought of Adela Rogers St. Johns in probably 30 years! I used to enjoy her as a personality when she appeared on talk shows–a long, long time ago! π She was quite a personality. Such a great quote and wonderful direction for our thoughts in such complicated times! I’m going to write this one down. I think it’s beautiful, Penny! ox

I had forgotten that aspect of her life, Debra, so caught up as I was in the quote. She was a personality of quite some renown, Debra. Thank you for that reminder. π It is a fitting one to keep in books of thoughts (I call it my Commonplace Book). Thank you. π
