I have been rummaging through all of my old boxes, messy drawer's, and piles of junk in hopes of making my home a little more organized. I came across this quote that has always been one of my favorites and some how got lost in the mess of paperwork. I'm sure some of you have read it but I just had to post it. I have carried a copy with me since high school and every once in a while I love to pull it out and read.
Promise Yourself
Christian D. Larsen
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and except only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countinence at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

What a good message! Thanks for the biking info... we might go up if Matt's knee is feeling better! I told Matt and he said he has the info somewhere in his car. I will let you know if we can't find it... thanks again

Fabulous thoughts. Thanks. Hey, if you aren't busy Friday night why don't we do something just the two of us? Call me. (Trev has our number in his email.)
I seriously needed that so much this morning. You totally practice what you post. You are such an example of someone living that quote. I have always looked up to your positive outlook and your kindness to everyone. I have totally had the quote on the side of your blog in my head all week too. Thanks for the inspiration and example.
I love that quote! I remeber having a copy of that at one time but it's been a while (obviously) since I'm a little too grouchy these days!
I needed that quote more than ever right now. Thanks so much for sharing it with me!!
What a good quote! The funny thing is, it reminds me of you. Every time I saw you, you were always sweet and cheerful.
This is a great quote. I save some of my favorites too. Thanks for the CD of photos by the way
