Good...

http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/

I like this "Good News Network" on facebook and I get emails and I know I've posted this site a few times before but in light of my heaviness this week I thought I would once again share what makes me smile. I love reading about the good news all around our world and it keeps me focused and centered in  "the good" in life.

Writer...

As a writer I just love when I'm reading something and I find a line or paragraph that I think speaks to me and I find delicious. I know that's a strange word to use but that what it feels like when it's "so good." A friend posted on a blog she writes and I found this one part that spoke to me and she said it so beautifully:

... you will have children that will challenge everything you thought you knew about parenting, and joyfully you will bend, and change and find the best way to parent ever. The struggles that come before, leave you open to this change, to the possibility of change, to embracing the change.

Well said my friend... so beautiful!

Today...

"I Hope You Feel Beautiful Today."

I woke myself up an hour early today ( miscalculated my time)... I'm trying to find the beauty in these extra present moments. So I thought I would say ~ "I hope you feel beautiful today" to all those out there reading this. Pass it on to your family and friends and it will be a day filled with smiles! 

Choose...

"It doesn't matter what you didn't accomplish. It doesn't matter that you haven't looked at your goal for over a month or abandoned it like a piece of fruit in the back of the refrigerator and it has now grown spores. Choose again today."

Tama J. Kieves

Reading this makes me feel a little better. Today I was overwhelmed with my to-do list and all the different areas in my life I'm trying to accomplish things in. When I feel like this. it reminds me of a book called "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamont ( I think the title came from Anne's brother had a report to do on birds and didn't know where to start and she said to him, bird by bird. You can probable google the exact story). I can accomplish each task, one at a time and love myself for each thing done and forgive myself for those I abandoned. I can choose again today.
