Silver Lined Beautiful

I have been noticing everyday that things are becoming more and more beautiful to me, because I am becoming more and more at peace with my life.  I have this still calm feeling, which is strange to me since I am just entering the 4th watch of our adventure.  However, I do know that something wonderful will come out of all of this.  Sometimes I allow my mind to wander and imagine this "something wonderful" that brings such a smile to my face and other days I don't allow it - and remind myself  "no expectations".  Lets just see what God has in store for us.  Whatever it is, I know it will be beautiful because it involves me and my guy.

Moral of the story: Look for the beauty, fun, excitement in everything!  Even doing laundry at my house is fun because I have a little one who likes to unfold everything I fold....it's like a game of who can get to the drawer first!  Find the Silver Lining....it is always there!

After awhile

A perfect place to be

No matter the outcome,
I know it will be what is meant to be.
That is a great place to be.

Day by Day Driving Force

One Great Horoscope:

Drive, drive, drive, that's what's going for you.
You certainly aren't a quitter that's for sure,
so don't give up, battle on and you will succeed.
This is a time of movement and change.
Expect a journey,  it will soon be yours.

Moral of the Story: Fight your battles daily, not weekly, not monthly, not yearly and certainly not "foreverly".  Make your decisions based on what you know and believe right now.  You never know what changes might occur just around the corner.  Besides all that, battles fought daily only help to create "a positive can do attitude" that will turn into your normal attitude whether you are fighting a battle or not!

Believe in yourself

People are always underestimating themselves, including me.  I get myself all worked up sometimes doubting my abilities and then I remind myself to look at what I have accomplished, look at where I am at today because of my yesterdays.

Moral of the story: Each day is an opportunity  to become happier, stronger, smarter, braver, and kinder. Take advantage of it!

Placing it behind you

Softly close the door, do not look back.  

Gratefully and Humbly Thank God that you are out.

Hope = Faith = Charity = More Hope

Not knowing what the future holds is a scary thing.  There is one combatant.  HOPE.  Hope is one of the most precious emotions a person can experience, it can bring your spirits up and keep you smiling and laughing even when the tears momentarily come flowing down.  Hope is the fighting pathway through the darkest struggles.  Hope will bring you the Faith to believe that in the end, everything will be perfect.  Hope and Faith enables your heart to fill with Charity.  The more Charity you feel in your heart....the more Hope you feel in your soul.   

Moral to this story:  

Hope = Faith = Charity = more Hope.

Don't be afraid to Hope.  

    

Good Intentions, Positive Actions, Smiles and a Good Life

This quote is to remind myself to always do things with only the best intentions and if I don't have good intentions, don't do it.  This is very evident in my life today.  I am noticing a certain kindness  "all of the sudden", trying to be too nice, so it would seem. It is actually humorous to watch someone be kind to one person, in one situation and then completely unkind, even cruel to another person in the exact same situation.



Infact, as I was writing this post, I received my daily horoscope via email.  I don't put much faith in "Googles Daily Horoscope"...but this was to relevant to leave out:

Someone, most likely male, isn't quite what they seem. Trickery and deception cleverly disguised as charm and friendliness.

Ha ha ha, Moral to the Story: Fear may bring out the worst or the best in you.   Make sure that your actions and words are what you would do or say in any situation not what you would do or say due to your current circumstance.

A person's true character always shines through.  Always try to remain  true to your character and true to your hopes and true to your dreams acting upon the best of intentions, you will remain true to yourself.

Peace trumps Panic all day long

I love this quote, this reminds me in every situation the better way to be is calm.

Moral to the story: You think better when your breathing, you don't breath well when your panicked.

Tough Year = Tougher Me

I am me, and I became the "real" me after one of the toughest years in history!  Each and every experience not only makes your stronger, it makes you smarter, it makes you more grateful for the good people in your life, it makes you extremely grateful for the blessing that you have.  

I am so happy and so ready for this next chapter in our life.  One year ago today I knew a big change was coming and I knew it was going to be tough.  Today I stand here knowing I was brave enough to make that change and strong enough to endure that change and wise enough to know I had to accept the change.  

I am strong and I am a force.

Moral of the Story: Be grateful for everything, 

even the people that hurt you

 because in the end, 

those hurtful people, 

helped you become fabulous! 

  

Follow the path that feels right

I have been second guessing myself lately, mainly because I was losing patience with our judicial system, not because of anything I have done.  I was told today by a very very very great source: "Stand Up!  Be Strong!".  So I will, I am and I will continue.  The energy returned to me today along with the excitement of the future.  Moral of the Story: Things are always difficult in "the middle" patience may waiver, thoughts become discouraging.  But when the end of something and the beginning of another starts to glimmer in the sunlight your energy and imagination will return.  Keep the faith.  Stand up and be strong!
