A Gift

"The next time you’re faced with something that’s unexpected, unwanted, and uncertain, consider that it just may be a gift." – Stacey Kramer

Today

What you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. ~Unknown

Ageless

Getting older is inevitable, but aging is optional. ~Christianne Northrup

A Happy Life

Remember this, that very little is needed to make a happy life.

~Marcus Aurelius

How to Treat Your Husband

Encourage your husband. Be kind. It is a rough world, and he, like everyone else, is fighting to survive. Be cheerful. Don't be a whiner.”
― Marjorie Pay Hinckley, Small and Simple Things

Blessings

"Ask yourself, How did god bless me today?' If you do that long enough and with faith, you will find yourself remembering blessings. And sometimes you will have gifts brought to your mind which you failed to notice during the day, but which you will then know were a touch of God's hand in your life." ~Henry B. Eyring

He Knows Me

Your Father in Heaven knows your name and knows your circumstance. He hears your prayers. He knows your hopes and dreams, your fears and frustrations. " ~Jeffrey R. Holland

Days

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." ~Annie Dillard

Love

"Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile." ~Franklin P. Jones

Disposition

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be, for I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." ~Martha Washington

No Need to Worry

“Not to know what will happen to you is no cause of anxiety. It is not worth the slightest thought on your part. You are being cared for in a way which you cannot see as yet. Once you see, you will take no thought for tomorrow. Your task is not to know the events of tomorrow, but to know the true self of today.

~Vernon Howard in "Pathways to Perfect Living"

My Goal

My goal is not to be better than anyone else, but to be better than I used to be. Dr. Wayne Dyer

Say "YES"!

"Find a way to say yes to things. Say yes to invitations and opportunities, say yes to meet new people, say yes to learn something new. Yes is how you get your education, your first job, your next job, your spouse, and every friend. Even if it seems a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new and make a difference. Yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be an optimist, be one people come to. Yes is what will keep you young."

~Eric Schmidt

Growing Older

Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.

~Unknown

My Creed

*To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

*To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.

*To make all my associates feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

*To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

*To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

*To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

*To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

*To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

*To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

*To be too secure for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

*To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in small deeds.

*To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

~Christian D. Larson
