Today's topic: Faith

I need to free myself from doubt and have faith that everything will work out. It may not happen when and how I want it to but I need to have faith and trust that God knows what He is doing. And He does.

Todays topic: Happiness

I have just been so happy lately and I wanted to share some of the happiness with you.

"Happiness is a Swedish sunset -- it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it." ~Mark Twain

"Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response." ~Mildred Barthel 

And don't forget to smile today! It's the quickest way to change your mood. It's quite simply really. Just smile :)

xoxo,

Today's word: Forgiveness

A few months ago something happened with a friend. I was offended and hurt and she was mad. It was a mess and we just stopped talking. But now, it's time I forgive and move on. Whether that means letting her back in my life, I'm not sure. I don't even know if that something she even wants. But what I do know is this: I'm tired of feeling hurt. I don't like being upset with someone and I think it's starting to have negative effects on my life. 

So whether you are trying to forgive someone or just forgive yourself, this post is for you.

Today's topic: Family

I was able to spend this past weekend with my family. It was a crazy, full weekend filled with packing, moving and unpacking. Needless to say, we all got really tired and there were times when we tried each other's patience. But we are family and we all love each other. I am so grateful for my family and how much they do for me. Even though I don't get to see them as much now, I know that I will we will always love each other and be there for one another.

“Love is the very essence of life. It is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yet it is not found only at the end of the rainbow. Love is at the beginning also, and from it springs the beauty that arched across the sky on a stormy day. Love is the security for which children weep, the yearning of youth, the adhesive that binds marriage, and the lubricant that prevents devastating friction in the home; it is the peace of old age, the sunlight of hope shining through death. How rich are those who enjoy it in their associations with family, friends, and neighbors! Love, like faith, is a gift of God. It is also the most enduring and most powerful virtue.” 
― Gordon B. Hinckley, Standing Something Cd: Ten Neglected Virtues That Will Heal Our Hearts And Homes

My family.

Wednesday's Words 1

Welcome to the very first edition of Wednesday's Words!

Every week I will pick a topic or idea and post relevant quotes. My main goal with this is to provoke thought and provide motivation for myself and my readers.

Why Wednesdays? Sometimes we all just need a little pick-me-up to finish out the week. Something to spur our minds forward and wake us up from the monotony of life. And maybe, perhaps bring a smile to your face because you can relate.

(If you ever have any suggestions of something you would like to see on Wednesday's Words just leave it in a comment.)

Today's topic: Friendship

"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Never shall I forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours."
- Ludwig van Beethoven
