Manic Monday - 05.20.13

The very least you can do in your life

{via}

is to figure out what you hope for.

{via}

And the most you can do is live inside that hope.

me + red RED hair

I am hoping my new RED hair color that is taking me awhile to get use to....looks more like these fab 'dos....

....and less like this!

That's all.  

it's a brand new time for me

I got this
{via}
I found me, I found me
{via}
I don't need your opinion 
{via}
I'm not waiting for your ok
{via}
I'll never be perfect, but at least now i'm brave
{via}
Now, my heart is open
{via}
And I can finally breathe
{via}
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of free
{via}
That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of me
{via}
Don't be mad, it's a brand new time for me.

Trust yourself. 

{via}

Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. 

{via}

Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

We should all be thankful for 

{and she does for me}

those people who rekindle the inner spirit. 

~ Albert Schweitzer

Your Spirit Remains

Your spirit remains 

though we had to bid you adieu.

Your spirit remains 

I still feel so very close to you. 

Your spirit remains

though your sweet soul left this Earth. 

Your spirit remains 

though your body rests beneath sacred dirt. 

Your spirit remains 

in our hearts, in our tears and in the raindrops aplenty.

Your spirit remains 

through the colors of the rainbows He has sent thee. 

Your spirit remains 

in the blue sky, the misty air and the rolling hills. 

Your spirit remains

as it always will.

remember to be happy

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.

Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts - it's what you do with what you have left.  

~Hubert Humphrey

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.  

~Herm Albright

my insight I needed for the day

Only you can move you, 

only you can feel you, 

only you can live you 

and only you can change you. 

It is when you lose sight of this reality that you feel lost and hopeless. By saying I can't do this anymore, you give up responsibility, and when you don't accept responsibility, you find yourself at the mercy of the world around you. The truth is that you CAN change and it all begins with the next decision that you make. 

Choose wisely today because it is YOU who controls your destiny. 

{WORD!!!!}

I am mentally preparing myself for the five-year-old mind.

I want to come down to their physical limitations

and up to their sense of wonder and awe.

My sweet Honey is in a new home.  It is a beautiful and peaceful home.  Honey's body has done all it can do.  Its life has been lived well.  But it has reached its peak.  However, that fighting spirit and soul she bears has its own say....God Speed Honey.  It's okay.  You can go to the light.....I promise, we will be okay.
