🤗 A Better Life ~ I Like Folks
I like folks who don’t lie.
I like folks who are kind.
I like folks who enjoy a good laugh.
I like folks who are respectful.
I like folks who know when to be serious and know when to relax.
I like folks who’ll stop what they’re doing to help someone who needs an extra hand.
I like folks who don’t criticize me just because I see the world a bit differently.
All in all, I like most folks.Â
🤗 A Better Life ~ Enjoy the Ride
Life’s not always a straight line getting better or worse. It’s more like a roller coaster where there are periods of calm, periods or terror, and periods of sheer relief. We don’t know what’s coming. Whatever is coming, take it on, give it your best, and enjoy the ride. It’s the only ride we’ve got.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Take Time to Stop and Smell the Flowers
The mountain laurel are in bloom in south Texas. If you’re not familiar with it, it is a beautiful cluster of purple flowers hanging much like grapes on a grapevine (see photo). Every time I pass a mountain laurel bush I stop, check for bees, and take in their wonderful fragrance. Take time this spring to stop and smell the flowers.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Keep Hope in Your Heart
Put the cloud behind you, there’s a bright day ahead, it’s waiting for you. Don’t look back, keep moving with your head held high and hope in your heart.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Don’t Miss a Single Minute
It’s springtime. The mountain laurel are in bloom. Wild flowers are making their entrance. Don’t miss a moment. Spring comes but once a year. I love spring. I’m not going to miss a moment of the crazy spring dance. I’ve got spring fever and it’s contagious.
🤗 A Better Life ~ It’s a Good Reason
Everyone has scars. The emotional. scars are visible only to the person wearing the scars. It’s a good reason to cut each other some slack and offer understanding.Â
🤗 A Better Life ~ Let Your Light Shine
There is good in everyone. Some keep it hidden and some shine like the noon day Texas sun. When we help others discover the good in themselves we open them to new possibilities. Let your light shine.
🤗 A Better Life ~ It’s All Going to Turn Out Right
Keep believing today is going to turn out right and tomorrow will be better than today. Don’t wait for it to knock on your door, get up, get going, and get ready for wonderful surprises.
🤗 A Better Life ~ Choose to Live
I recently spoke with a friend who was filled with profound sadness (Her husband died three months ago). She hasn’t been able to move beyond her sadness. She asked me how I was able to move beyond the death of my wife. I told her that for me it came down to staying sad or choosing to live. I chose to live. Â I hope she chooses to live. Choose to live. Choose to enjoy life. Choose to be grateful for the life you have.
