Some days it's harder than others. <br /><br />I have to say that I'm totally thrilled for the arrival of spring. Warm air, flowers, dirt under my fingernails. I can't think of anything more nourishing!<br /><br />Thanks so much, Jaime.

Mary Engelbreit has a line called Mary Engeldark and in one of those illustrations she says "If life doesn't also hand you sugar and water your lemonade is going to suck". Makes me laugh. And it's true, sometimes in the moment it's not possible to make lemonade, but I know eventually it will be.<br /><br />Glad to have you rooting for me and thanks for sharing that quote.Anne Buterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090778223286237879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-22501183809004013152016-02-24T10:35:10.734-06:002016-02-24T10:35:10.734-06:00Thank you, Tracey!

We can't always make lemonade from lemons, at least not right away. There is a quote by Tess Marshall, creator of the Bold Life, that might help you here: "Do you see yourself as the bold and courageous person that you are? Do you give yourself credit for the times in the past when you've been afraid and you've taken action anyway?" Take care of yourself and know I'm rooting for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-76995715748893548722016-02-22T12:20:31.523-06:002016-02-22T12:20:31.523-06:00I am sending you happy thoughts and including you ...I am sending you happy thoughts and including you in my prayers.
