BOOK 08, CHAPTER 4, PAGE 8

All of Spring proclaims the Hope God gives our hearts

A CREED TO LIVE BY

Don't determine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what others deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart; cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life ONE DAY AT A TIME you will live all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over... until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect; it is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks, It's by taking chances we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut LOVE out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive LOVE is to give LOVE, the fastest way to lose LOVE is to hold it too tightly and the best way to keep LOVE is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without HOPE; To be without HOPE is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only WHERE YOU'VE BEEN -- but also -- WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

Life isn't a race, but...... IT'S A JOURNEY --

TO BE SAVORED EACH STEP OF THE WAY

GOOD MORNING !

We are supposed to be blessed with April showers for most of the week . Things here were just beginning to dry out from all the melted snow. There just isn’t much we can do about the weather except be thankful, it could be worse.

Tuesdays at work are usually busy days and I’d just as well be indoors working although things are looking greener and greener as the days go by now.

I spent a little time shopping on my lunch hour yesterday and picked up a few more things for my camper. DSIL said I’d need a white hose for the water hook up and I got that along with some condiments and spices for the kitchen.

My pile of things to take is growing into a mountain. I hope there is room to put all this stuff when I get there. I still need to get a pail and some cleaning supplies to take and when the time gets closer I’ll also put by some food...I will of course need my coffee.

Oh well it is nice to think about sunny days and camping on days like today…almost as good a trip to the beach

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

In this season of renewal and rejuvenation

May your spirit soar high and

May you be blessed

Not just today, but always.

Wishing you a beautiful SPRING !

MA

Good morning!  I am glad that life is treating you well.  How true the saying is that the best thing to do if it rains is to let it rain.  Says a lot about struggling against the inevitable.  Saves a lot of stress, too.  
Thank you for visiting my journal.  I hope you will come often.  I enjoy yours so
much.   Have a happy day!   Pat

Yes April does seem to bring April Showers. lol I need my coffee pretty quick in the mornings. I have had to make a fresh pot because my husband is an early riser.  Coffee brewing for maybe up to 2 hours tastes terrrible to me. lol "Let it rain... Let it ran..... Let it rain" lol that song Have a wonderful week with blessings, Janie
