A Really Good Place To Be Inspired

Calendars by Lois

“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving,

but like morning light it scattered the night

and made the day worth living.” 

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

“I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep.

But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that

no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am,

I can skip on hour more of sleep and live.” 

~ Sylvia Plath

“That's what people do who love you.

They put their arms around you and love you

when you're not so lovable.”

~ Deb Caletti

“It's not what you say out of your mouth that

determines your life, it's what you whisper to

yourself that has the most power!” 

~ Robert T. Kiyosaki

“There's always another storm. It's the way the world works.

Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms, sandstorms, and firestorms.

Some are fierce and others are small. You have to deal with

each one separately, but you need to keep an eye

on whats brewing for tomorrow.”

~ Maria V. Snyder

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;

for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;

and for poise, walk with the knowledge

that you are never alone.” 

~ Audrey Hepburn

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for

everything that happens to you, knowing that

every step forward is a step toward

achieving something bigger and better

than your current situation.” 

~ Brian Tracy

“Sometimes it takes a good fall to

really know where you stand”

~ Hayley Williams

“Face your life, its pain, its pleasure,

leave no path untaken.”

~ Neil Gaiman

“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything.

Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy,

be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway,

so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the

opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the

cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try

to be perfect; just be an excellent

example of being human.”

~ Anthony Robbins

New beginnings. Second chances. Family memories.

Friendly glances. Life really does hold more sunshine than rain.

~ Joy Windsor

Happy Monday everyone!! How do you like my new face/head tag?

I new found friend has stepped forward and is offering to make me

a few new tags and is teaching me some new things as well.

This is also a recent picture of my face. So, I think the

old tags have run their course.

I am excited - always to learn new things on here.

I do hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was good.

Our craft and bake sale went well. We made a few extra dollars,

met a lot of new people and had a good time. Can't ask for a whole

lot more than that. Also enjoyed breakfast out on Sunday with

both my Mom and Dad and my son and his family. I always

love doing that. Breakfast is my favorite meal out.

So, with all that being said, here is wishing you a good

day. Be safe, be always aware of everything and everyone

around you. Please join me again tomorrow.

Till then, "Happy Trails To You"
