Next!

This was a favorite 'Mom-spression'.
She would use it in all kinds of facets.
If there was a bad situation:  Next!
If you celebrated a good time:  Next!
If you were facing an issue:  Next!

It kind of falls in line with:
This too shall pass.

But I'm thinking she willed it on
just a wee bit quicker with her Next!
I'm thinking, too, that she was teaching
that you are never idle.
Don't wallow at the pity party
and don't take up space at the victory table.
Go find your new adventure.

Next!

Yes! This!!!

In doing service for others,
we often find
answers to our own questions
and
solutions to our own problems.

My mantra for life!!!

I will

I will walk by faith
even when
I can not see.

Every Little Thing

Is Gonna Be Alright!
Don't Worry.
'Bout A Thing.
Cause Every Little Thing
Is Gonna Be Alright!

This is my message to you-ou-ou!

Tomorrow

It's a really good song,
but it is not promised to any one.

So, take a moment.

Share your heart.
Spread joy.
Give generously.
Be kind.
Do the right thing.
Forgive.
Be at peace.
Love.

How Will You Read?

I saw this quote last week
and it truly struck a chord with me.
Sometimes, things just do that.

In the end,
we all become stories.

So, will you be a . . .
Page turner?
Drama?
Manual?
Action packed?
Suspenseful?
Seuss-ical?
Murder/mystery?
Tear-jerker?
Adventure?
Memorable?
Inspirational?

I'm pretty sure we can all say
that any given chapter may include
a bit of each,
but I'm striving for the last two.

How 'bout you?

Powerful

Throughout life,
as we dodge, dip, dive, duck and dodge
from whatever is thrown at us,
I believe these things:

1. We are given what we can handle.
2. We are stronger than we think.
3. There is a reason for your struggle.
4. You can now be a witness.
5. You will emerge different - and better.

This little quote says it all:

You have been assigned this mountain
to show others it can be moved.

Powerful.
Just like you.
