'Be Teachable'


"It is a mistake for anyone to think he has lived too long in his old unsatisfactory ways to make a change. If you switch on a light in a dark room, it makes no difference how long it was dark because the light will still shine. Be teachable, that is the whole secret."

    So perfect, my friend. Never do I want to get to the place where I think I have nothing that needs to be learned.
    Blessings for the new year,
    Debra

    Hi Diva. I hope the New Year is finding you full of hope and excitement. What a wonderful, wonderful quote! It's absolutely true. And I love that illustration. Very cute. I love anything that looks idealist like that. Thanks for sharing it and brightening my day.

    Warm hugs...Tracy :)

    I am now following your blog, and placing you on my blog list.I just went through it more thoroughly and love it. I also love that you are a Christian and a mom, same as I. I love the Spiritual influence throughout your blog. As we know, God is the one who created the arts. He is the master artist. Nature if proof. So glad to know you.
