I came across this today. It is attributed to Bi-Lo grocery store pioneer Frank Outlaw but others say it is Mahatma Gandhi. Regardless, I think they're great and are definitely words to live by.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

"Hello", I said, as I entered his room. He opened his eyes and looked up with a short reply. "Hi Boy, sit…

Some of you already know Louie from my "Louie's Day at the Park" article. After sitting with him over a couple of breakfasts, I've decided capture more of this beautiful man's rich life.
