Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself:
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.

I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

After letting my no good, very bad mood practically ruin our Sunday afternoon, isn't it funny that I should come across this quote in my inbox just as dawn is breaking on a new week?
We already know that God works in mysterious ways, but apparently now He can email!
This is what makes me happy,
What will make you smile today?
Here's to a week filled with so much joy, y'alls' cheeks hurt from smiling by Wednesday!

Great quote! I guess it wasn;t going to be long before God started emailing..LOL! I think I need to post this on my fridge in hopes it will make some of those bad days a little better. Have a great week. BTW, love GG's little chair.
What will make me happy? Ummmmmm wrap up GG and send her to me for a week or two. Will that work for ya?
Seriously....I have what makes me happy. My family. Now throw in a little sleeping in, shopping, day out to lunch, a couple of days out at the barn riding and you've got one happy person, but I'd still like GG for a spell too.
God is a conversationalist...so much of our conversations now are through email...so cool that you got that!
Have a great week!
Beautiful photos and what an inspiring message.
I love this message!! Funny, I say God speaks to me through email all the time! Gillian is so adorable and I'm sure she brings you to your happy place all day long. That's not to say that everything is always perfect but I'm sure having her around all the time makes those bad moments pass quickly :) I know my littles do that for me! Happy Monday :)
Shannon were you reading my mind or what?!? I SO needed to read that quote today. After all the ups and downs of the past few weeks that quote says it all. Thanks girl!
PS-GG is just as cute as ever!!
Every morning when I wake up I think "Horray! I get to have my coffee."
Groucho Marx said it better. ;)
Something about fall leaves makes me happy :) Happy Monday!
I love the little unexpected blessings that can bring us back! :) Happy Monday!

Yes! I have got to remember the "it's MY choice" part, that's what always gets me. Why waste time being anything BUT happy??
