I used to live by this.... but not because...

... I knew that saying things positive or negative said much about me... it just made made me think differently and feel better about the world. When I make less-than-flattering comments about others, I know I'm not feeling so great about myself... and I seem to have gotten into a bad habit of thinking as long as it's true, why not say it... that's okay, right? Wrong.

I also came across the quote below recently...

So no more negativity.... there's enough in the world and I need much less of it in my life. I want to be realistic, but I don't need to "chat it up" so to speak about others... or myself.

And remember this:

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Thanksforgiving

'Thanksforgiving' is the title to my Thanksgiving Pinterest board.... And now looking at it, I just saw it in a whole new way.... thanks + forgiving... instead of, or in addition to thanks + for + giving Interesting.... wouldn't it be awesome if we all could just forgive others of their shortcomings and be grateful for them as they are and accept them at face value instead.... the way we hope they look at us? Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang! In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
