(72 entries, updated July, 2020)
This is definitely the smallest of the collections, comprised of random inspirational quotes matched with background images selected from the photo collections at The Other Pages. Hundreds (thousands?) of these have been posted to the facebook blog over the past decade. Most of the images and quotes go together fairly well. It's hard to be sure. It's kind of like getting dressed in the morning without enough light to see what you're doing -- and never being sure if you've picked out the right socks. Thanks to Donna Childrey, Cathy Spanoudis and Louis Spanoudis for their images.
