love the flowers. LOVE the quote. I had a big fascination with John Wesley in middle school. I used to have that quote up in my room but I had kind of forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me.
Just to flip it around, it's also good to emphasize the "that you can" part -- i.e. to recognize what you can accomplish, make peace with that, and not agonize over what you can't. There are plenty of situations in life where we'd like to do so much more good, to help people more than they're ready to be helped, or to give more than we have the resources for. Do what you can (and don't underestimate what you can do), but don't beat yourself up for not doing more than that.
Huh. My word verification is "prend," which is French for "take". Does that mean something?
