promise yourself

"Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.  Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!"

[my crazy yet lovable little sister, Lauren]

Yesterday, out of the blue, my younger sister Lauren sent me this beautiful quote by Christian Larson. Lauren could not have sent me those words at a more perfect time. I was having a pretty hectic day running the kids I nanny for around town to their various activities, not to mention I had a throbbing headache. This quote was a great little pick me up and helped me power through my day with a smile on my face and a spring in my step. Thanks sissy!
