Just some quotes for the day....or for the rest of life. :)

The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say.”

Reality isn't the way you wish things to be, nor the way they appear to be, but the way they actually are.”

Don't just stand there -- do something! --Anonymous

Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. --Benjamin Disraeli

"If you want to know your true and proper place in the great story of life, you must learn to read your own heart... for within it, line after line, is written all there is to know."

"There is only one true measure of what we really love in life, and that's determined by what we give ourselves to in each of its moments."

--Guy Finley

Today I am overwhelmed with gratefulness to each and every person in my life. All of you. YOU. If you are reading this and thinking "surely she isn't talking about me", you are wrong.  No matter who you are and what role you have in my life...it is purposeful.  I don't believe for one second anyone just passes through by coincidence. I'm so grateful for you and thank you. You are something precious. xoxox

A Few of My Fav's This Week

I'm so in love w/ this stuff I could scream!

Dear Trader Joes, just when I thought you couldn't get any better. YUM!

3OH3...Electroshock helps me get my run on!

Get your own life!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs

---Aaaahhhh so often I base my decisions in life, or at least want to base them, out of fear of what others will think, say, or do.  I am quick to forget that those who are busy judging forget that they too are on a stool of judgement from the world. So...Thanks for the sweet reminder and amazing quote Steve Jobs! And thanks God for being on the ultimate throne.

These little people are my world

While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.

*GrAtItUdE*

Just a simple moment of gratitude, for all that I have, all that I am, & THE ONES WHO MAKE LIFE THAT MUCH BETTER. As we live our life, NEVER forget what you have because you are too busy reaching for things you don't. ~RX Star

But never settle and/or give up on your hopes and dreams.  It's your life. The only one you've got. Make it count.  --Me xoxox
