To be or not to be

It is easy to believe in yourself around some people and around others feel you are destined to never measure up...I have the opportunity to interact with some people from both of these categories in life.  I noticed after an interaction with someone in the latter category that my perspective needed to change.  It really doesn't matter what they think of me....what matters is what I know of myself.  So here is to true potential and perspective....Here and Now is the time to be charming!

New Year New Start..Let the Dreaming begin

I love that I have many who inspire me.  I admire them and hope to someday be as true to myself as they make me feel when I am around them.  Love, Dream, Hope.....LIVE.

To the next new beginning...

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.

Well, I haven't posted in a while, but I got a Christmas card from a dear friend who always has such an amazing perspective on life that I was inspired to make a new years resolution or a mid-December resolution (because why wait right!) to be happy- no matter what!  There is so much to be grateful for, so much beauty, and so many new opportunities.  They say you will find what you look for....so look happy!

Life can be CRAZY!  So sometimes we have to find a happy place.  These sure look happy to me, so come on in the waters fine....and take a little vacation.  Deep breath.... life is beautiful!

At the Beginning....again

There is something exciting about new paper, freshly sharpened pencils and a perfect box of crayons.  I am not ready for the kids to be back to school, but I LOVE buying school supplies.  It is like a fresh start.  The beginning of a new opportunity.  New shoes, new friends, new adventures to discover.  So here is to a fresh new start.  So go get yourself a new box of crayons...go on get the big box...and start creating a brilliant and colorful year!

Gardens are such happy things. Little plants stretching toward the sunshine, working to reach their potential. Such beauty and dedication. Inspiring.

It's a fresh new week. Enjoy.

Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, and the more power you have to use it on your behalf. If you do not practice gratefulness, its benefaction will go unnoticed, and your capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful is to find blessings in everything, This is the most powerful attitude to adopt, for there are blessings in everything.

My greatest blessings call me mom. A dear friend has this in a sign in her home and I love it.
Fingerprints, tears, chicken pox...whatever it is doesn't matter...the time spent with them is a priceless gift.

Happy Friday.
