I know that there are a few people here who love quotes as much as me and these are just a few which I've found recently that I really liked and wanted to share...

"Braiding your hair doesn't make you beautiful. Wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes doesn't make you beautiful. Instead, your beauty comes from inside you. It is the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Beauty like that doesn't fade away. God placed great value on it." 1 Peter 3:3-4

"Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. - Plato

"Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings." - Samuel Johnson

"It is not your aptitude, but your attitude, that determines your altitude." - Zig Ziglar

"God is fair. He will pay back trouble to those who give you trouble." 2 Thessalonians 1:6

"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Proverbs 12:18

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Luke 12:25

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are beautiful but only if you believe you are. It takes self-confidence and the right attitude to get to this point which is why you shouldn't worry because it does absolutely nothing for you but add stress to your life. Do not worry about your appearance or what others have said or will say for negative people attract negativity and will undo themselves. No matter how slow your progress is, as long as you are still moving forward to the best of your ability no one can say anything. Most of our stress is brought on by ourselves so do not fret about the past, do not lose yourself in what is to be but rest your mind on the present and what is certain. Peace be with you! :)

I really love that quote by Peter. It reminds me of that quote by Audrey Hepburn: "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
Great post, Carol!

"If you find yourself balding, remember this. No matter how you feel about your hair loss, you held the power to determine how you viewed your life before this worrisome discovery. You decided whether or not you would let things get to you, and you made adjustments in yourself and how you viewed the world around you when you did not like what you saw in it.

"Now that there will be fewer strands on that fine, wonderful head of yours, you still have the power to define how you perceive and are perceived. You determine how baldness will be viewed, by how you wear it, and how you project it. You can decide if you are truly losing something, or gaining an opportunity to redefine yourself."

Thank you for posting. I am truly struggling right now and need all the emotional support I can get. Depression has come over me and is trying to overtake my life. I talk to my husband about it but he doesn't quite get it.
