Have a HAPPY Day!

I don’t measure a man’s success by how high he climbs

but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. –General George S Patton

Remember that no one can hurt your feelings without your cooperation and willingness.

No one can cause you to have any kind of emotional reaction without your first giving them permission to do so. You alone are responsible for your feelings and emotions. When you know what you plan to do with your life, you will not allow annoying situations to deter you from your goals for long. If you set ambitious goals for yourself and work enthusiastically toward them, you will quickly realize that you don’t have time to allow petty annoyances to upset you and keep you from your objectives.

Avery & Her Little Friends!

“We never know the love of our parents for us until we have become parents.” - Henry Ward Beecher

I never dreamed washing dishes could be FUN…until Miss Avery came along!

Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.  Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

BE HAPPY! and have a GREAT DAY!
