Introduction Text Waste no time in idle thoughts and chatter. Use every moment of time in loving, positive, constructive thoughts and words. Realize that the thoughts you project can help or mar; therefore be master of your thoughts and words and not a slave to them. Why not enjoy life to the full? You can only do that when you are giving of your very best in time, words and deeds. Open your eyes and open your heart and see and feel the very best in everything and everyone around you. If you have difficulty in finding the very best, simply keep on looking for it until you have found it; it is there waiting for you. There are many wonderful things in the world. Why not take time to concentrate on them and fill your life with them, so that the unpleasant, unhappy and discordant ones can find no place in your life? Life is what you make it. What are you making of yours? "Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." ~ Albert Einstein Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable. ~David Augsburger For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. ~Audrey Hepburn Tough times don't last; tough people do. Winners have simply formed the habit of doing things that losers don't like to do. ~Albert Grey Success must be felt within before it can be seen on the outside. If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it .... Rudyard Kipling The Lord gave us two ends --- one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most. -- Ann Landers "The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us." -Voltaire �Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.� ~MARIANNE WILLIAMSON And my personal favorite: Never give up. God is faithful. ~ I Cor 1:9

Born in Missoula, MT, I'm just a country girl at heart! The city girl comes from my mom, who was born in the greatest city in the world: BOSTON. The desert, well, I get that from my mother-in-law, one of my favorite human beings, after my own parents, of course. I miss them to pieces.
