Favorite quote

Skipped another day but my husband and I went to a hotel in town for our anniversary which was this past Monday. It was a great time. We stayed in the Hilton right by the Snake River. We walked to the Brownstone Brewery that is down the street, walking along the river. It was good food and just so beautiful outside. The hotel was just gorgeous and the room nice and spacious. We had coupons for a free breakfast this morning which was yummy. And even though it was in town it was a nice and relaxing overnight stay.





So today's is what is my favorite quote and why. The above clip does not contain my favorite quote but it is a clip from the person who wrote it. It is Michael J Fox and the quote is from his book "Always Looking Up"

"So, sure, it may be one step forward and two steps back, but after a time with Parkinson's, I've learned that what is important is making that one step count; always looking up."

Here is a man living with a degenerative disease and has maintained a positive attitude. He has his difficult and negative times but he keeps a good focus. And this quote inspires because I see what he faces and if he can keep looking up then in the things I face I should be able to do the same. That those times when I feel like I am walking backwards more than moving forward to just make the moving forward matter and keep looking up.
