Ecclesiastes 9:10

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”

my parents have taught me well to survive when they are dead and gone and now that they are I must live my life in a way that would make them proud of me whatever work- I give it my all I try to live in the moment and enjoy living for I am on this earth but for a short time the grave waits whispering my name the teachings of the nuns still heard and I am proud of that each day the teachings of God drilled into me giving me tranquility, kindness, and humility I have a gentle spirit and use my wisdom and knowledge well
