Food for thought.

See the puppy's happy face despite the unfortunate situation?
It brought a smile to my face!


So we meet again! Remember how I mentioned that one of the things I love is to grow in knowledge (read the previous post)? There's an important element in learning and taking in knowledge. That element is to practice what you know and share it with others (haha...that's actually two elements) Ok...moving forward. As I grow and learn in my journey of life I hope I can reflect the good things that i know. So, with this in mind I came across something that really pulled my heart strings.
I sometimes like to stay up until midnight (I know, I know no bueno!) and listen to news radio (I"m a dork!). Exactly at midnight there's a segment on KNX 1070am called "Character Counts". It basically gives you reasons why having good character counts. I love this! Anyways, last night the narrator said "It's not what happens to you but what happens in you". This impacted in me soooo much, you have no idea! At the tender age of 25 :) life has thrown me some hard curve balls. I've lost a hand full of immediate family and some other not so fun stuff happen. It doesn't matter what happens around me or what happens directly to me but it's all in how i deal with it. This really put things in perspective for me. I hope that it does for you too. So let's continue to grow together. Choose to change your attitude on something negative around you into a positive one and see how immediately better you will handle things. As the old Vitamin C song says, "put a smile on your face and make the world a better place". I know I know, you don't have to tell me how corny that was....I already know. :D

Love and Joy,
Patty.
