MY APOLOGY for Daily Blessing 2013.2.19. I’ve been writing ‘quotes’ for years. When I post one on kathieskollection.blogspot.com as my Daily Blessing, it is usually new, although sometimes I will pull one from my past writings. Before I publish a new quote, I try to go to the internet to be as sure as I can that I didn’t pick it up from somewhere else and call it mine. When I use an old quote I tend to forget to check it out, which is what happened today. Today's Good Blessing quote came from my 2006 writings. It was a time when I myself was going through some ‘healing.’ My daughter told me this afternoon that she had heard the quote before, and sure enough, it is used a lot on the internet. I apologize for thinking they were my words. Here is a more detailed quote of my thought process when I ‘came up’ with that quote. Thank-you for following my blog. May the sharing of my deepest feelings and thoughts be a benefit to us all. Good Blessings.
