The Power of the Mind…Again

“Unsuccessful, unhappy people think and talk about what they don’t want most of the time. They talk about their problems and worries and who is to blame for their situation most of the time. But successful people keep their thoughts and conversations focused on their most intensely desired goals. They think and talk about what they want and how to get it” 

Brian Tracy

ABC’s of Happiness

“If you don’t like what is going on in your life you need to devise a way to make yourself happy.  No one can make you unhappy unless you let them.  Things can make you unhappy, but you learn from these situations”

Joan Lucas

 

We Make Our Own Circumstances

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, they make them” 

George Bernard Shaw

Tomorrow…

This was my day today.  Some days are like this and we simply have to accept it.  The good news is that tomorrow is a brand new day full of brand new hope and possibility

 

 

Happy Father’s Day to All Father’s

There is a man I call Dad. He is not my biological Dad, but you’d never know it. He married my Mother, bought us a home and made us a family.  He’s always been there for me.  He was there when I graduated from school, when I got married, when my children were born, when I needed him, through birthdays and holidays, and when life collapsed.

He’s still here. 

Today we celebrated a wonderful Father’s Day with Grandpa Allan…as he likes being called.   

Thank you for everything

Biology is the least of what makes a person a parent

Happy Father’s Day to all Fathers…Step Fathers and Adoptive Fathers

You Will Have New Dreams

Sometimes things don’t work out
This doesn’t mean nothing will
One thing isn’t everything
Now isn’t forever even though it may feel like it
Give yourself time to see things clearly
What we feel isn’t always true
In time the disappointments will pass
Your feelings will change
Your life will be different
You will have new dreams
No matter how hard we try
We can’t hold on to today
It will pass
So we must hold its joys and disappointments
With open hands
Because they weren’t meant to stay
But to fill today’s purpose
Let go of your disappointments
So your hands will be free
To accept tomorrow’s blessings
Life is not just one day of your life
But all of your tomorrows
Each day has its own happiness
Enjoy today but then move on
To enjoy all of your tomorrows

You Have to Trust

You have to trust that God has a better plan, and life will get better when it is supposed to.

With prayer we speak to God, with miracles he responds

First Love Yourself

“You cannot be any good for anyone else until you are first good to yourself.  I also think it is impossible to really love anyone else unless you first love yourself.  How can you give another person your best if you do not believe you have anything wonderful to offer”

Larry Winget

Faith…What Other Choice Is There?

Believe in faith, believe that life will turn out well.  First believe that there is something better out there than what you have been experiencing.  So believe in faith…what other choice is there?

Your Heart Rules

Sometimes we don’t want to face the truth.  But it’s always there and the truth cannot escape what the heart knows.
