Quotes and Thoughts for the Day

[sumi]

Thanks guys

I went through some old quotes I had stored I found one that suits me at the moment:

"Reprogram yourself every minute of each day with thoughts that make you grow. When you’re feeling irritated or confused, try to laugh at yourself. Laugh out loud at this woman tormented by doubts and anxieties, convinced that her problems are the most important thing in the world. Laugh at the sheer absurdity of the situation."

~ Paolo Coelho

There were honestly times over the last few days that I just burst out laughing and the most inappropriate moments.... Like when our tenants finally told us the truth about their house buying plans. My husband is convinced I'm crazy, but I said to him, it's laugh or cry? Neither's going to change anything. I found laughing at stressful situations and overwhelming times does take the sting out of things and make the mountains a bit more manageable… Makes you feel better too.

I think this was the quote that turned my life on it's axis and changed everything for me. No past, no future, just right now, always.
Thank you, Shannon for reminding me again.

And I think I saw that shirt on an ad for Zulily. I'm pretty sure that's what it was though I've never actually looked at their site.

We were all taught to believe in what are parents believed in. I don't know about y'all but my parents lied to me from the beginning, the easter bunny, Santa clause the tooth ferry ect. You gotta figure most things out for yourself. I said all that to say this, lying is Not OK regardless of how little.it's the (little white lies) that are the worst ones.

My parents told me and taught a lot of harmful things and just plain unacceptable things, so I agree with you 100%.

People, most people think I'm nuts but I don't do Santa, the Easter bunny, etc etc.... I just don't get it... For one I personally don't understand how some of these characters connect to the celebrations... For two I don't want to trick or lie to them... Don't worry my kids still have lot of magic and wonder in their lives.... Oh dear I could go on and on. There's nothing wrong with it everyone sees the world differently this is just my view in my little corner of the world....
Good morning all!
