Wednesday's Wisdom 2

I have been thinking a lot lately
about how much my life has changed
in the last 5 years.
In that time .....
I have been at my life's very lowest point
as well as my life's very highest..

And I can tell you that the biggest difference
between those 2 times was
MY ATTITUDE ...
I am so very thankful for the lows
because they taught me to
dig deeper to find out
what is really important.
space
Many many times in my past...
and I must say even a few times in my present
I have sat around and griped about my circumstances...
Feeling if ONLY things were different then
LIFE would be different...
That is one of life's most cruel tricks.
IF we can not be thankful with a little.....
THEN why would God ever think we would be thankful with a lot.
space
Stop today and forget all the things that you DON'T have
and make a list of the things that YOU DO...
because ...IF you STOP for just a moment
you'd be very surprised how wonderful LIFE is.
space
SO... with a new thankfulness in mind
Here is my quote for today.....
space
"If you want your LIFE to change,
then you have to be willing to make
some changes in your LIFE."
( I heard this one day on tv while I was cleaning
and I didn't see who it was that said it...
but I can tell you that I have never forgotten it.)
space
I'd LOVE to hear any or your LIFE changing moments.
I am a firm believer that we can learn a great deal by others experiences.
space
May we all realize that sometimes the biggest
change we need is one only we can do to ourselves!

I have had so many life changing moments....my last one happened to me when I was floating in the azure waters of the Carribbean and decided to let go of a marriage that was negative and stressful...then soon after that a handsome long haired sailor crashed into my world!! ~ be open~ ready for change~ love yourself enough to reinvent yourself all the time! You are beautiful.

Life changing experience.... hummmm. One day when I was 8 I used to pray for the best husband in the whole wide world... One day when i was 20 he came... Then was taken away7 years later...

My world changed..

I never take one moment for granted, I am the last one to leave a party and go to just about everything I am invited to except baby showers, I hate them.

I do what I like, hang out with only people I want to and love with all my heart and soul..

One day when I was 8 I prayed for the best husband in the whole wide world... Who would have thought God would have been so nice to bring me 2...

We all get second chances, it is up to our hearts to make them extraordinary!

Live today as hard and happy as you can...

Love you sweet thing.
