“You also, like living stones,
are being built up into a spiritual house…”
[1 Peter 2:5a]

Develop success from failures.
Discouragement and failure are two of the surest
stepping stones to success.
[Dale Carnegie]

Carol's Musings 
They were my steppingstones! How’d you know! Beautiful words, Carol.
Happy Birthday, dear Carol!
Hope you had a great B-DAY my friend. Just finished reading all of your Aunt’s posts…sure hope I have as much “gumpshun” as she in my elder years 🙂 I saw some “special-take-home” rocks in your beach pic. When we lived on the Sound I used to bring “special” ones home ’til Mom said “No…No more”. Have a couple of Dr appointments coming up soon as J J has a “3 days off” week. I’m going to frame that Carnegie “…stepping stone…” quote 🙂
Hugs,

Great quote! My Dad was fond of saying he went to the school of “hard knocks.”
