~*~Quote and Reflection for 06/11/2008~*~

"The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them."

- George Bernard Shaw, playwright

Are you creating your own life?

Take a moment to look at the circumstances of your world. Is it what you want to see? What could you do differently to take one step closer to your ideal vision? We're all dealt different hands in life. That's how things are. To change things, you have to first accept that fact, then figure out where to go from here. We should all be able to count on each other for help, but in the end, we can't expect anyone to change our lives except ourselves. Nor should we want it that way. It's natural to feel powerless and give up in the face of hardships, but complaining and blaming do nothing except prevent action. Without positive action, you're giving up your power and asking for more of the same--a world you did not create. Where you start may not be your fault, but the course you run is still your choosing.

Just testing something new for my blog... so just ignore

~*~SparkPeople's Quote and Reflection~*~

I got this email from SparkPeople and I have to have it in my blog so it can remind me from time to time.

"It is better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand days as a lamb."

- Roman proverb



Are you a lion or a lamb?

How will your life be remembered? Will your story be lost among the millions who were afraid to take a chance? Or will you leave something noble behind? There's nothing to gain by following the crowd or doing what you've always done. You may as well put yourself out to pasture. But there's everything to gain by believing that you're king or queen of the jungle, even if just for a day. (Go ahead and roar if you want to.) Each of us has an amazing opportunity to live large if we allow it. It takes leaving the comfort of our familiar meadows and walking into the unknown. Once you take that chance, you've made your days worthwhile. Even if you have few resources, adventure is around every corner, and life is waiting to be devoured. If you were to write the book of your life, would you want to read it?

~*~Food (Salmonellosis Outbreak)~*~

Now I'm wondering what is going on because salmonellosis should be found in meat but last year it was found in peanut butter and now tomatoes???? That is pretty scary. It seems that we have to be careful, not for weight reason, but for health as well.

"Don't quit, life may seem hard but you shall always stand tall no matter what. And remember to just keep laughing."

I definately needed that!
