Monday Morning Motivator...

I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life.

I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.

Life is such a gift that we often let it go by without taking time to enjoy. This is a great quote to make all think about that!

Michael Isn't Susie a gas! But as far as the post I LOVE the picture.  Awesome job and that alone is a motivator.  Not only to get up off my tush but to learn to take better pictures like you.

It all boils dwn to attitude. Another one of my favorites is...

If you don't like something,

Change it.

If you can't change it,

Change the way you think about it
