✨ Wisdom Wednesday ✨

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” — Dr. Maya Angelou

Life rarely unfolds exactly as we plan. There will be moments of disappointment, uncertainty, and challenges that test our strength. While we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can choose how we respond.

Dr. Maya Angelou's life was a testament to resilience. Through hardship, loss, discrimination, and personal struggle, she continued to rise, creating a legacy that has inspired generations worldwide.

This quote reminds us that our circumstances do not define us. Our courage, perseverance, and determination do.

Whatever challenge you may be facing, remember: you are stronger than the obstacles before you.

What challenge helped shape who you are today? ✨

Toluca Lake, as dry as the Mojave desert, 1953. The springs dried up and the water slowly evaporated leaving boats and landings high and dry. But the lake may make a "comeback." The bed already has been surveyed for restoration. It may get an asphalt bottom and city-metered water. Then, it will again look like 1945. Source: LAPL
