Embrace...

"Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, of life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now."

A good reminder to stay present in the NOW! 

To embrace the very present moment I'm in and go with the flow. Be an observer and allow what is to be, then let it pass through me without resistence.

Somedays...

"Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."

"Never put the key to your happiness in somebody else's pocket."

Kushandwizdom

"Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work"

John Trainer M.D.

"The hardest part about letting go is finally realizing that there wasn't much left to hold on to."

Somedays I just need a few good quotes to carry me though!

Courage...

"Happiness is a form of a courage."

George Holbroek Jackson

Courage is a decision made daily.

Contagious...

"If I become happy and it makes you happy, it is like tipping the first domino so the next one falls and that happiness spreads."

~James Fowler, economic behaviorist, University of California-San Diego

If there is one thing I wouldn't mind being contagious it would be happiness. Like being in a room and someone starts laughing and you don't even know why but you find yourself starting to laugh until you cry. Then when I'm finished, my first response is "oh that felt good." Laughter is great medicine and for those few minutes I was in the present moment of "JOY."

Growth...

The greatest gift you can ever give another person is your own happiness!

When I saw this photo it made me think about when a seed is planted, you never know if it will germanate and become something magnicent or not. But you do it anyway! As I am continue to work on "being kind" to myself, I'm hoping that the seed I'm planting will grow and provide a stronger foundation of strength and love for myself. I'm finding the more present I am in the moment the easier it is to pause, take a breath and remember ~ to love myself ~ unconditonally...

Blank...

Today my mind is blank. I can't think of what to write so I like to borrow other peoples words when mine are not present...

Happiness is not taught it is recognized...

and

Remember to feed your FUN!
