Strive...

"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy."

Anne Frank

This is what I will strive for today. 

There is beauty left around me... I'm happy!

Family...

"Family... We may not have it all together, but together we have it all."

At times I get caught up in labels of what constitutes a family - mother, father, children, pets, and I forget just because we don't look like the perfect picture we are still very much a family. I consider my friends part of my family too. The more the merrier!

Tired...

"Be strong enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what you deserve."

Okay I let go... now... I am SO tired of waiting ( it's been almost 7 years), I just want what I want NOW! Is that to much to ask?

Ready...

"If we wait until were ready we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives."

Lemony Snicket

I read the "The Series of Unfortunate Events" By Lemony Snicket ( there are thirteen of them) to my middle son when I first started homeschooling him. I loved reading to my children. But this quote is so true for me everyday! If I waited until I was ready and didn't just walk through the uncomfortableness I would never do much in this life. 

Egg...

Sometimes it's the simple things in life... like waking this morning knowing I have a beautiful egg I can have for breakfast. The egg comes from a friend I hold dear and she cares about her chickens and their health. The egg not only nutritious my body but my soul today. I know exactly where it comes from and it provides good energy. Yes... it is only a simple egg, but offers so much!

Single...

Today I'm tired of being single. Not that I haven't felt that before but I just wanted to say it out loud and maybe the sting of it wouldn't feel so strong. In my life I'm continually working on letting my emotions flow instead of labeling them or feeling like I shouldn't feel something. I'm not sure what to do with this feeling other then to let it stay or go as it needs to. I just long for that conversation or knowing that there is a soft shoulder to lean on.

Wonderful...

"Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen."

Why not believe today... something WONDERFUL is about to happen!!!

I can believe negative or positive, today I choose WONDERFUL!
