A Facebook friend posted these quotes as her status today. I thought they just might be something someone here needed to read today.

‎"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." ~ Henry David Thoreau

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
~Albert Einstein

My DS was just diagnosed last week with dyslexia. Someone told me Einstein was dyslexic or had some type of learning disability. This is just perfect for me today.

My brother has ADHD, and my mother kept this quote prominently displayed in our kitchen when I was growing up. I think it helped her keep her sanity when dealing with my brother.
 
I'm glad someone finds it helpful. For some reason it just resonated with me!

:goodvibes Thank you so much for this. There are things in my life that my mental illness prevents me from doing, and I often feel like the fish; I WANT to climb that tree, but eventually realize that it isn't going to happen, for various reasons. I often feel judged by others, too...this quote shows me that we all have our own strengths. :lovestruc
 
I am going to write these down and hopefully they'll help me when I'm discouraged when dealing with my son who is dealing with some difficult issues.
Thank-You !:thumbsup2
