Be yourself.  No one can say you're doing it wrong. - Charles M. Schulz


Take a shower, wash off the day.  Drink a glass of water.  Make the room dark.  Lie down and close your eyes.  Notice the silence.  Notice your heart.  Still beating.  Still fighting.  You made it, after all.  You made it, another day.  And you can make it one more.  You're doing just fine. - Charlotte Eriksson


Let today be the day you stop living within the confines of how others define or judge you. - Steve Maraboli


The secret of getting ahead is getting started. - Mark Twain


Believe in yourself a little more.


Pain is real, but so is hope.


If you do not recognize an ingredient, your body won't either.  Try to eat food made by planet Earth, not a chemical factory.


Everything comes to you at the right time.  Be patient and trust in the process.


A beautiful face will age and a perfect body will change, but a beautiful soul will always be a beautiful soul.


A true friend's creed:  If you need me, call me, I don't care if I'm sleeping, having my own problems or angry with you.  I'll be there for you.


Strong people don't put others down.  They lift them up.


Greet the day with gratitude in your heart!


When others try to get your tutu into a twist...just twirl around and keep dancing!


When you're busy taking care of everyone...make sure you include yourself!

Weekend Thoughts and Sharing About Myself

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all! 
I have been doing a family/genealogy search with absolutely no knowledge of genealogy and I am pleasantly surprised at what I have discovered!  This is an ongoing search, but I have managed to find some of my cousins in Nova Scotia, whom I have never met!  They are a lovely family!  There are 3 girls and two boys, and we are all baby boomers, so it is fun to get to know one another, to learn more about our family history and to share photos.

I will keep this short, but thank you so much for listening.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The videos I have selected for this post are:

A Lifetime of Love Stories

If Your Hands Could Smell, You'd be an Octopus - Deep Look

The Wedge Tiny House Produces More Energy than it Uses

President's Choice Commercial - Eat Together (I found this to be an amazing commercial.  We need more love and togetherness like this in the world!)

A Cat's Purrpose (purpose)  :)

One's dignity may be assaulted and vandalized, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered. - Michael J. Fox


When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind and fearless. - Byron Katiewilliams James


Your energy introduces you before you even speak.


Think about what could go right.


Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates:  Is it true?  Is it necessary?  Is it kind?


Sprinkle a little love wherever you go...


Happiness...is a quiet night at home.


Today, fill your heart with what's important.


Stay positive, even when it feels like your life is falling apart.


Just let go.  Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness. - Caroline Myss


Your nature is to keep quiet.  You came from silence and you have to return to silence...you are dancing only for a little while you see...a little while you are dancing.


People will never truly understand something until it happens to them.


Make time for people who make you feel extra special.

Remind yourself that it's okay not to be perfect.


The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. - Bertrand Russell


Don't forget to love yourself.


You deserve someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life.


You came on the earth with nothing, you will leave the earth with nothing, don't sweat over stuff, keep it light!


Always be kinder than you feel.


I think I might have misunderstood when I heard it was time for super bowl sundae...yay!  (Sunday)  :)


As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to turn your life around.


Don't be afraid of change.  It's going to happen anyway.


Do more of what makes you forget to look at your phone.


Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return. - Peace Pilgrim


Let your light shine!  Every soul contributes to the luminance of the world.


To encourage is to help the heart unfold.


We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable.  It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives. - Maya Angelou
