John’s Thought for the Day – With GROW

Thought for the Day Today:

 The real drawback to marriage is that it makes one unselfish. And unselfish people are colourless.

John’s Thought for the Day is brought to you by GROW. 

GROW is a Mental Health Organisation which helps people who have suffered, or are suffering, from mental health problems. Members are helped to recover from all forms of mental breakdown, or indeed, to prevent such happening. GROW, founded in Australia in 1957 by former mental sufferers, has a national network of over 130 Groups in Ireland. Its principal strength is the support members give each other from their own experience in matters to do with mental health.
