One of my favorite sayings: Age is mind over matter….if you don’t mind, it don’t matter!
Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present. –Bil Keane
What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say
-Emerson
Live well, laugh often, love much.
Favorite saying: “Forget regret or life is yours to miss”
Kinda long, but I have it on my email signature – I LOVE IT! Found it on a box of note cards, no author is listed:
live with intention.
walk to the edge.
listen hard.
practice wellness.
play with abandon.
laugh.
choose with no regret.
continue to learn.
appreciate your friends.
do what you love.
live as if this is all there is.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
My FAVORITE Quote of all time is: “I’d rather have 15 minutes of Wonderful than a Life Time of Nothing Special!” The older I get the more it means to me, and the more the meaning has changed to me. Thanks,
Tiandra

My favorite quote comes from a gift I got for my birthday from another AI art piece that I love! “Write it down on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.” Emerson
Life is like a piano….what you get out of it depends on how you play it! (My favorite quote)
Winston Churchill is believed to have once said that “there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of man.” In this sense, he meant both genders. After owning horses for more than 30 years, I can attest to the truthfulness of his observation as I have learned that the more I know about men, the more I love my horse!
My favorite quote is: It is not length of life, but depth of life.
I tweeted this and shared it on facebook!
I LOVE quotes, this is my favorite one as of late:
“To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.”
–Elbert Hubbard, American writer, artist and philosopher
I tweeted this and shared it on Facebook :)
“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”
“…
it is not how much you earn or how good you look.
It’s in every small act of kindness
you share with someone else.
That is how you live on.”
For St. Patrick’s Day – “Irish Diplomacy: the ability to tell a man to go to hell so that he will look forward to the trip.” :)
If you want to see me drop in anytime. If you want to see my house, let me know you are coming, and I will clean it for you.
A Celtic Prayer
May God give you
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile
For every care, a promise
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends
A faithful friend to share
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer in each prayer
Thank you catching fireflies for your awesome giveaways and your lovely store I make my way to often.
My favorite is: ”Lots to think about, nothing to worry about”
Life is God’s gift to you, what you do with it is your gift to God.

I keep a running list of my favorite quotes. Several are by Albert Camus.
Be who you are and say what you feel, for those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind
“Courage does not always roar, sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, “I will try again tomorrow.”‘ Unknown
Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often
I love this quote by Maya Angelou—we share a birthday :)
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“No Winter lasts forever, no Spring skips it’s turn.”

May the blessing of God’s soft rain be on you,
Falling gently on your head, refreshing your soul
With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you,
Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean
Sparkling after in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God’s earth be on you,
And as you walk the roads,
May you always have a kind word
for those you meet.
“I will hold myself to a standard of GRACE not perfection.”
“those who mind don’t matter, those who matter don’t mind”
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. – Buddha

my favorite saying: it is better to burn out than to rust
Wishing you lots of Irish luck
And joy in whatever life sends
Liking you always because you are you
And happy because we are friends!

To keep with the Irish theme: “As you slide down the banister of life. May the splinters never point in the wrong direction.”
“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”

I love this quote… it’s so true!
Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History
“May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.”
One of my favs!
No matter where you go, or what the weather, always bring your own sunshine!

KISS ME I’m Irish
May sound silly, but……….Sean Connery, from “Hunt for Red October”……….”Some things don’t react well to bullets.” Reminds me to choose my words wisely. You can either arm another person in an argument or disarm them, all depends on which words you choose when talking to someone and MOST people, do not react well to darts thrown at them, know what I mean, so be NICE!

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples, then you and I still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas – George Bernard Shaw
Everyday is a chance to start over
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
This above all: To your own self, be true

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
