On a recent trip to Ogunquit, Maine, I came across the pandemic painted rocks that people and visitors placed on this rock wall for inspiration and motivation in a time that we really needed it.

If you want to go visit the rocks in person, walk out the front door of the Grand Hotel in Ogunquit, walk across the street to the right, you will see the rock wall.

Just in case you can't make it to Ogunquit this season, I thought I would share them with you.

So true for this next rock.  Time flies and we have no control over it, so live your life to the fullest and hope for the best!

This one is probably the original rock.  It's dated in 2020.

Don't you love these?  I'm so glad that they are still there after 5 years.

I had to grab a picture of this one.  It's either a reference to a Weeble or the song by Chumbawamba.

I don't know about you, but I see this biblical reference quite a bit.  In case you are not familiar, John 3:16 refers to this book and verse:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

This one was funny.  It's a visual and I'll admit, it took me a minute to get it.

Failure is never a failure.  A bruise, a lesson, etc.

So many times I walked by one of these rocks and said YES!  Here's another example.

One of the best on the entire wall.

I'm not sure there are any rules to the rock wall.  If you want to add to it, I think that would be fine.
