33 years and counting...

227: Days since I quit smoking
458: Days I've known that true love is real
12,053: Days I've been in the world

And 12,053 days is just enough time to have met and loved such wonderful people in my life - all of you (I hope you know) shape who I am today. Thank you :) Life is Good!

Cheers,
J.

Quote of the Day 09/16/2009

I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.

~Charles Swindoll
(b. 1934 - American pastor, author, educator)

Quote of the Day 07/28/2009

There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no
defeat except from within, no insurmountable barrier except our own inherent weakness of purpose.

I completely agree with this quote... you must take care in order to get where you are going. :)

"Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded."

~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
(1749-1832, German Poet, Dramatist, Novelist)

Quote of the Day 06/15/2009

I just finished reading a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer called 10 Secrets of Success and Inner Peace. I absolutely love his work... I always feel so amazingly peaceful because of it. Not to mention it all makes so much sense! Below is quote from one of his books - simple, yet profound!

"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into."

Wayne Dyer (b. 1940)
~Renown author, speaker, "Father of Motivation"
