Monday Must See and News

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! 
I just wanted to let you all know that my apartment search continues.  I received some news today that is not good in reference to my number on the list for low cost housing.  My number has been the same for about a month now, but I just found out that it have moved...but UP, not down, by two points.  :(  As if being on this very long waiting list for more than 6 and a half years is bad enough, but now my number is going up...and now down?  I have to admit that I am discouraged about this, but I will try and see what is going on and why this is happening this week.  In the meantime, I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers on my behalf, as well as your love, encouragement and support, it means so much to me.  I am keeping the Go Fund Me link on the right hand column of my blog for those of you who wish to, and are able to donate money.  A heartfelt and sincere thank you!  Love and hugs to you all.

Weekend Well Wishes and Moving and Go Fund Me

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! 
I have not said much about my upcoming move because thus far there is really not much to tell.  I am still searching for a place, and I really hope to find on by my birthday, next month (October 27th).
I will continue posting updates as they become available.  As well, I will be keeping the Go Fund Me link on the right hand column of my blog at least until after Christmas, so if any of you who are able to, and wish to donate any money to help with my move, I would greatly appreciate.  A heartfelt thanks to all of you who have helped already, and a heartfelt thanks to any of you who are able to help between now and Christmas.  Love and hugs to you all!

Education is not a preparation for life:  education is life itself. - John Dewey


Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction your life has taken, accept the fact that there is a path before you now.  Shake off the "why's" and "what if's", and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was - is in the past.  Whatever is - is what's important.  The past is a brief reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here. - Vicki Silvers


When the road curves to lead you into new discoveries...let it take you.  When the page you're on builds suspense, turn it - for it will end happily. - Susan A. J. Lyttek

It's not how many goals you reach, but how many lives you touch.  It's not who you know that matters, but who you are inside. - Rebecca Barlow Jordan


The world would be a much better place if everyone smiled more. - Mother Teresa


Embrace every moment you are given.  Cherish the people, places and things that fill your life with so much warmth and joy. - Anna Marie Edwards


Learning without thought is labor lost;  thought without learning is perilous. - Confucius


Let us spend a day as deliberately as nature. - Thoreau


Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. 


Where there is heart there is hope.


If speaking kindly to plants helps them grow, imagine what speaking kindly to humans can do.


Know this:  You can start over each morning.


No matter how much it rains...there's a place in you that never stops shining.


True kindness is helping someone without expecting anything in return.


Be brave.  Even if you're not, pretend to be.  No one can tell the difference.
