This I believe about your word........

Nothing kills progress or deadens enthusiasm more than someone who talks but never follows through. It is crucial in both your home life and work life that you stay focused and committed to whatever you say you will do. This I believe...

This I believe about Mistakes...

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but we mess up less than we think! We're doing a better job than we give ourself credit for. So the next time you are tempted to find fault with something you did, give yourself a pat on the back instead. If you do your best, your best is better than good enough! This I believe.

This I believe about Insensitive People

Sometimes people should think before they speak. Maybe before you say something, think how you would feel if someone said it to you. Just because it may be true doesn't mean you have to say it. Why are people compelled to make comments that are hurtful or just not appropriate? I think it is because they are not happy about something in their life and need to make themselves feel better. Don't waste your time and energy worrying about what others think, put your energy into yourself. This I believe.

This I believe about Adult Children

You never stop worrying, but that can be a good thing. You want your children to be happy, really happy, it doesn't matter what they are doing, or who they are with as long as they are happy with the situation. You can't force happiness or rely on others to make you happy, it has to start with you. So if you want to be happy....Be. Start with yourself and the rest will follow..... This I believe.

Thought for Today November 2, 2009

Mondays are a very unique day of the week, sometimes they are a good day to start something new then other times they are the dreaded day of the week. Today, it's the latter, my mind is elsewhere...So my thought for the day is.....


Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Thought of the Day

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make into your future. This I believe.

Thought for the Day

I was thinking last night that it is amazing how much happens in your life and how much time passes without you even knowing it or realizing it. There is so much going on around us that we just don't stop, not even for one minute and just be still. We need to slow down and take in some of this great life. I think if we just took a few moments each day we would be able to breath a little easier. Last night a friend of mine told me that someone he knows lost their 13 year old son to cancer, being a mother I can only imagine, but I do believe that when you hear things like that it does make you stop and think. You can't just disregard that kind of tragedy. So, when life gets crazy and I mean crazy, think what it must be like for that mother and father to bear that loss and take a few moments and just be still. I remember a time in my life when I was at my wits end, just a little out of control and stressed out, my daughter grabbed me, held my shoulders firm and looked me straight in the eyes and said, very slowly, "Mom, Breath in, breath out. I will never forget that, she made me stop and slow down. She also made me realize that whatever was happening at that time was not that important and worth me stressing over. I will never forget that. To this day when things get crazy, I always reflect back on that moment and slow down to just breath in, breath out.

Day one - August 20, 2009

This I believe...if you truly want something you will stop at nothing to get it. Some just don't have the strength or courage to go after it.
