... Merry Christmas ...

I love this time of year... so many things to be grateful for. I want to share my favorite quote that I love to read when I am feeling overwhelmed at times. It reminds me to slow down and be grateful for every blessing the Lord has blessed me with and to enjoy the life I live!

How To Make A Beautiful Life
Love yourself. Make peace with who you are and where you are at this moment in time.
Listen to your heart. If you can't hear what it's saying in this noisy world, make time for yourself. Enjoy your own company. Let your mind wander among the stars.
Try. Take chances. Make mistakes. Life can be messy and confusing at times, but it's also full of surprises. The next rock in your path might be a stepping stone.
Be happy. When you don't have what you want, want what you have. Make do. That's a well kept secret of contentment.
There aren't any shortcuts to tomorrow. You have to make your own way. To know where you are going is only part of it. You need to know where you have been too. And if you ever get lost, don't worry. The people you love will find you. Count on it.
Life isn't days and years. It's about what you do with that time. And all the goodness and grace that's inside you.
Make a beautiful life... the kind of life you deserve.
I am so thankful for all of my friend's and family who have been there for me this year, through high's and low's and everything in between! I hope that everyone will remember to stop and enjoy every minute they share with their loved one's during the holiday's! Merry Christmas!!
