Thief!

Do you compare yourself to others?

Do you look at the people around you and think, " Gee if I only was as thin, athletic, talented, rich, happy, pretty, lucky, smart, (etc) as that person, my life would be better? More fulfilled?

Well, one of my favorite quotes, Comparison is the Thief of Joy really helps you put those feelings to rest.
Think about it....When you compare yourself to others, you are forgetting to see how capable and beautiful you really are. When we look at others in a light that's brighter than our very own, it diminishes your self value and your own self worth.

Why compare yourself to someone else? YOU are YOU. There is NEVER going to be another person like you out there....Isn't that kind of cool? Isn't better to look inside and see all the amazing things that you have to offer rather than looking at someone else and seeing what they have and measuring their worth against your very own?

So let's not let Miss Comparison raid our thoughts and steal our joy....let's be happy with who and what we are and focus on keeping the joy in our very precious one and ONLY lives!

Don't Let Go

Do you have dreams? I do ....

My dreams are big, but I am holding on tightly. 

From an early age we start developing certain dreams that carry us through life. 

Without our dreams, where would we be?

My daughter dreamed of being on the Gymnastics team. She held on through thick and thin....practice after practice....her coach told her to keep trying...."Don't give up Summer," he said. So, after 3 years, she made the team! I am so proud of her! She held on tightly to her dream, believed in herself and worked hard.

I am so proud of her. She inspired me to do this little sketch  - 

Little girls have dreams.....and so do big girls! 

and DREAMS come TRUE

So I am hanging on ......

and not letting go!

Good for the Soul....

We've got rain today in the Northeast....but for some reason, I am enjoying it.

After a beautiful -  perfect, sunny spring weekend, it's a good day to catch up on indoor chores and work!

How about you? Do you sometimes hope for a rainy day?

I do! It's good for the soul!

Spreading the Good

We must always believe there is good in the world.

 

We can start by being the good in someones world today.

I'm taking some flowers and cookies into my daughters' school today....

I know that they need to see and feel some good

 

How about you?

How are you spreading the good?
