Day 207 – November 27, 2011

“Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”

~Rosaleen Dickson

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.”

Day 204 – November 24, 2011

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

~Thornton Wilder

Today is Thanksgiving, and if this is a day you celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving. Earlier I asked myself, “what are you thankful for this year?” I amazed myself because I have a list of things to be thankful for. First; my husband and children whom I love very much and I am very proud of each and every one of them. Second, the continued good health of my family. Yes, we have our challenges, but they are manageable. Third, good friends, because today my good friend reminded me that our children are our greatest accomplishment; they are the legacy we leave behind to carry on. Fourth, over the past several months I have been given the opportunity to write about a wide variety of subjects. Often it has been my first thought in the morning and subjects I am passionate about. I want to say thank you to all of the readers who read Daily Mood Quotes. Thank you for your input and kind words.

Well, the holiday season is off an running and Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase) in the movie Christmas Vacation set it best, when he said, “The most enjoying traditions of the season are best enjoyed in the warm embrace of kith and kin.”... I'm pretty sure he meant “enduring traditions.” It's hard to speak when your jaw is frozen (funny movie).

HAPPY THANKSGIVING – gobble, gobble....

What will you be thankful for today?

Day 67 - July 9, 2011

When you do find humor in trying times, one of the first and most important changes you experience is that you see your perplexing problems in a new way - you suddenly have a new perspective on them.
~ Allen Klein

One of the things we tend to forget when times are toughs is to laugh. When you laugh, it allows you to view things from a different perspective and sometimes through that laughter, what was once perceived as a challenging problem can now be viewed with a solution in mind. There is a great old quote: “Laughter is the best medicine” (thank you Reader’s Digest) and it really is.

Yesterday, my family and I took a lengthy car trip and during this trip we got a flat tire. We were too far to turn home and only halfway to where we were headed. Remember “sh*% happens?” well, there it is again, but we looked at the positive things. First, it was the passenger side front tire and we were able to get the car stopped without incident. We were able to stop in a place that was out of the line of traffic and huge trucks. Last, it wasn’t a horrific temperature and there was light breeze. Also, the kids got to learn about how to not panic when things go suddenly awry and to change a tire. We resumed our trip about 20 minutes later with a donut on the car and without further incident. We laughed about donut driving and continuing on to our destination.

Life will always throw those things at you, especially when you’re not prepared for them. The main goal of the trip was for all of us to enjoy ourselves and leave behind the issues we are dealing for a while. Sometimes, you have to take those perspective days in order to maintain good mental health.
