Good Morning Food for Thought

Quote of the Day

"Life does not happen to us, it happens from us."
~Mike Wickett

Everyday we make choices. Hundreds of them. Some we dwell over, others we barely think about. Everything from which shirt will I wear today to what will I have for lunch. Each choice, regardless of how simple it may seem, has an affect on our day and our life. When we choose to smile, people respond to us in a kinder manner. If we choose to grump, we are treated with hostility or avoided.

Very few events in our lives are completely void of our input, yet we tend to be quick to blame everything from a simple sore throat to our car breaking down on everything under the sun, when in fact, we could avoid many of our daily annoyances if we just put a little more time and thought into what we do and how we do it.

Focus on your goals and make them happen! Life isn't in your way, you are your life. Set your direction and hold fast to it.

If I could dance and drive at the same time, I'd be dancing all the way to work today!

Geri, I'm so glad you're back!!

Your brief absence from our groups is a reminder to never take anything so magnificent and powerful that is present with a click to this group.

You are a treasure.

Welcome back! You have been greatly missed. After reading this latest post of yours, even though it is really hot out right now, I'm filling up my water bottle and going for a nice long walk. You have such a way of inspiring people to keep going when it is so easy to make excuses to not do something. I hope all is well with you.
