THOUGHT FOR THE DAY..............SELF-WORTH................................


MY DECLARATION OF SELF-ESTEEM:
"I am Me.  In all the world there is no one else
exactly like Me.
There are Persons who have some parts like Me....But No One ADDS UP exactly like Me.
THEREFORE....EVERYTHING that comes out of me is AUTHENTICALLY MINE because I ALONE
CHOSE IT..........."

~~Virginia Satir~~

I believe.......that each one of us.....every day......should keep this  thought on the back  burner of our mind!!

I know my grama would agree.......


Let's all have a day filled with Self-Worth.

Hugs,
Jo

    What a great thought. Many are always trying to mimic someone else. What happened to just 'being me'.

    Jo, I just loved reading this. It is wonderful. I think we should all declare this every day. :-)

    Thank you so much for your prayers. I'm racing out in a few minutes, but I wanted to stop and tell you I miss you and how much I appreciate you praying for Mr. Magpie. He is my heart, and I want this to go well for him.

    See you soon...

    XOXO,

    Sheila :-)

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

" I AM ROOTED....BUT I FLOW". Virginia Woolf

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
