  • I don't know who said this, but it's a super quote!! 

    There is never a wrong time to do the right thing.
    Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity...these are the choices that measure your life. Your true character is revealed by the clarity of your convictions, the choices you make, and the promises you keep. Hold strongly to your principles and refuse to follow the currents of convenience. What you say and do defines who you are - and who you are...you are forever.

  • I think it is time to correct a widely held misconception. Sweet gentle people are not pushovers. They actually have quite a streak of steel under their gentle exterior. They have learned to be strong because the gentle sympathetic part of them does cause them pain from time to time, but if they use it right, it just serves to make them stronger and increases their ability to care for others.

    It also makes them wise, for you see, they are very smart. They may not react to things the way others do, but they don't feel them any less. In fact, it's possible they actually feel them more acutely because of who they are.

    They know life is very short so try to forgive quickly and not waste time being upset over things that don't really matter. However, they will not hesitate to act for what is right and stand up for the truth when the occasion calls for it, gentle or not.

    Above all, they believe kindness is always the best policy and graciousness and reacting with class is always in style.

  • Sailing

    For my single friends:

    I am going to share one of my keys to happiness with you. Men and women are like ships that pass each other in the night. Every once in a while, one will blink its lights at you, and then you can choose whether to blink back. Warning to all female ships: unless the male ship makes it VERY clear they are not just doing friendly blinking but are following you in to port and putting down the anchor, don't expect it! You will save yourself lots of storms this way and enjoy smoother sailing.

    Male ships should blink first, in my opinion, not vice versa. I could care less that we live in 2010 and not 1900.  Men should initiate and lead, that’s their job.

    So enjoy to the fullest your sail through the sea.  Whether you sail in a fleet or alone, get to know as many fleets of ships as you can and benefit from all they can teach you.  Take advantage of every opportunity you have to give and serve, you have no guarantee you will have that chance again. 

    If it is in the plan of the Master of the sea, a special ship will come your way at the right time and sail with you until you both put your anchor down for the last time.

    If the special ship never comes, the Master has something better, something you can do more effectively by sailing alone.  And of course, you won’t really ever be alone, for the Master of the Sea will sail ahead of you and beside you always.

    I felt very prompted to share this today, I’ve no clue why, but perhaps you do.

    I will tell you I know very few people as happy as I am in the season of life I am sailing in and I believe it is because of the above belief that charts my course. happy

About Me

  • I am an old fashioned girl who loves savoring the simple pleasures of life. I desire to be remembered not for who I am or for what I've done, but for Whom I lived. Matthew 5:16. May I be an empty vessel to channel His love to others. No reserves. No retreat. No regrets.
