The roads are still icy here in my section of Colorado. But, as I sit here with some warm green tea, I find myself laughing, remembering my four years of high school in northern Virginia, where three times in four years, they canceled school for the POSSIBILITY of snow. The best part was; all that snow they predicted never came! Have a great, warm Saturday! Votes are in!
"A pessimist feels bad when he feels good for fear he'll feel worse when he feels better." Remember, our lives are what we choose to make of them. Even the worst situations have a silver lining. Pay close attention - an opportunity might just be at the bottom of a full trashcan of kleenex, mixed in there somewhere From the midst of the worst of it, fantastic opportunity can arise. Have an amazing day! Voted.
Having a pet has been proven to have amazing healing and soothing effects on people. But there's still nothing quite as detrimental to getting rid of a migraine...as having a hyperactive six month old kitten, racing around your house at Mach 4, knocking over everything that isn't nailed down. I finally gave up, got up, and took a shower. The kitten is adorably passed out on my bed. The only thing stopping the tears is my ability to see the humor! Love coming your way from your exhausted friend! Voted.
It's a rare person who doesn't get discouraged. Whether it happens to us or to a friend you're trying to cheer up, the answer centers around one word: perseverence. Failures always hurt; rejection always hurts. But the choice of continued failure or success is in your hands. Your choice: Mope, and ask why, feel unwanted and give up. OR: take the good, let the bad roll off your back, and carry on with a smile on your face bigger and brighter than it was yesterday. Have a blessed Tuesday! Voted.
"When arguing with a stupid person, be sure he isn't doing the same thing." If you've ever had the sensation that you're engaged in a verbal disagreement with someone, and you stand a better chance of resolution with the nearest wall, there's more wisdom in learning to stay quiet than continuing a dispute where no solution is possible. Just a thought as we begin the work week. Have a blessed Monday! Voted.
Introducing Persephone here on RW this Sunday. This is my 6 year old Himalayan, formally known as, "Her Most Royal Highness, Persephone, Queen of all the Universe." She owns us all; we just don't know it. (Or at least, she thinks she does!) Special skills include singing, sticking her tongue out when upset, and consuming things that would kill a normal cat without even throwing up. The dialogue of this picture ran: Me: "Persephone! Come take pictures with mommy!!" ^.^ Persephone: "Tonight...I pee on everything you own." The genius of the picture: Persephone and I made the same face! Haha! Have a great Sunday. Enjoy it - the week begins all over tomorrow. VAI.
"If you have no critics, you likely have no successes." ~ Malcolm Forbes. Especially relevant for those of us looking for our fifteen minutes of fame. With achievement comes both praise and criticism. Take the good, leave the bad, and remember the only opinion that really counts is your own. Have a great day! Voted.
"So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success: If I persist long enough, I will win." ~ Og Mandino. If there's anything I've learned, it's that talent is useless without perseverence. Good luck and best wishes coming your way on this Friday! Voted.
