Several Things to Observe Today

I have several things to observe today:

1) Even after twelve years you can crave a cigarette as much as the day you quit.

2) Nothing comes easy. You have to work hard to achieve your goals and you can't ever, ever give up. If you're not going to work hard for yourself, no one else is, either.

3) I've been told love is never convenient. Twice today, by two different people. So, it must be true. 

5) I believe in myself, and my God. And that's a pretty good feeling on both counts.

Ha. And I skipped number 4. What was number four? I'm sure it must have been important... let's just throw in, for the record,  #4 = readers are leaders. 

Turning 40

Yes, even to me it seems a little silly to be so excited about turning 40. This birthday just feels different, as if my fourth decade is a point of renewal for my life. With a major life change just six months behind me, I'm thankful to God for making me strong, moving me forward, and bringing me blessings for which I am thankful. I'm so grateful for my family and friends, and especially my daughters, who bring such joy every day. Cheers! xoxo

Trust Yourself

Stop Blaming Me

“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.” ~~ Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Some people will never change. They will always be difficult and they will always shift the blame away from themselves. I find it easier for me, not to look for fault. Sometimes things just are.

You have to make the choice to move forward in a positive manner. 

Mindset is everything. 

Be introspective. 

Pray. Listen.
