Inspiring Quotes for Caregivers — 4/29/09: An Affirmation
My college friend, Stephen Rothman, of The Social Media Soapbox, recently posted this affirmation on his Facebook status:
Come what may, as long as I have the ears to hear the last movement of Mozart’s Jupiter symphony, life will always be worth living.
When I read it, I immediately had to create my own affirmation following his lead. Here’s mine:
Come what may, as long as I can dance, life will always be worth living.
Come what may, as long as I spend time with my soul mate Jeff, life will always be worth living.
Come what may, as long as Robbie shares his life with me as it unfolds, life will always be worth living.
Come what may, as long as I have wonderful friends to share the ride with, life will always be worth living.
OK, so I got a little carried away. 
But it only takes a moment to look around and see the “positives” in our lives and the world around us. And it’s most important to do this, yet the hardest to do, when life is difficult! Thanks for the reminder, Steve.
Now it’s your turn to write an affirmation and perhaps inspire others to do the same. Please share it with us in the comment section below.

Come what may, as long as I line up my life with God’s loving will for me, life will always be worth living. He will make my love for my soul mate transcendent, my creativity soar, and my ability to pass through adversity reach unmeasured heights.
Come what may, as long as I listen to my heart, my life will have meaning and purpose.
Come what may, as long as I have family and friends in my life, I will be blessed beyond measure.
Dear Lori,
Your belief in God is so strong. I’ve been “struggling” with God lately as I wonder why people (like Alzheimer’s patients) have to suffer mentally and/or physically for so long. (I know this topic is too deep to write about here.) Your faith is refreshing and gives me hope. Thank you.
Dear Lance,
I love your “listen to my heart” affirmation! Yes, that often leads us to our true passions for work, love . . . and life over all. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Linda,
lovely to see how this connected with you and others how each one makes it their own. May we all continue to feel the inspiration of our own personal “Jupiter Symphonies” in our lives.
Come what may, I shall not mope.
Hi Steve,
Thanks again for being the inspiration for this post!
Hi rummuser,
Your affirmation brings a smile to my face — but is sage advice! I allowed myself some “moping time” after my mom died, but I’m keeping it to a minimum these days; and it is, to some degree, a choice we make.
