Yep... you never know... Remember when my husband died and you flew out to KY? You and Julianne and I went to the mall to buy me a new dress for his funeral. It was so bizarre to me -- we were there with all these people who were just going along with life as normal, and they had no clue that I was there buying a dress for my husband's funeral. You just don't know what people are going through - even while shopping at the mall.
Great advice! Now if we could all just heed it. Maybe I shouldn't have flashed my brights at the dumb taxi driver who'd just flashed his at me today, who knows what his trial is?
I read this yesterday. I'm kind of hiding from blog world right now, because I'm not in a good place. But I wanted to come back and let you know that I appreciate, really appreciate this thought. It made me look at things differently, even when I was at Wal-Mart this morning.
Mom, wife, shopper of bargains, addicted to decorating and facebook garage sales. Worshipper of blue skies, palm trees and swimming pools. Lover of mountain getaways with my honey. Can often be found driving too fast in a certain Camaro. Favorite job is being Taylor's & Connor's mom. Lucky to also have five bonus kids and three most adorable bonus grands.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. -Robert Brauit

There's a party going on in my head and you can't stop it. It's been going on a long time.
You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. --- Gordon B. Hinckley

More power to Arizona moms! I crossed by your site today and thought I'd thank you for your thoughts. Cheers!
You are so right! A big smile can hide A LOT of pain.
Sometimes even GOOD changes are stressful and hard too.
This is totally right. I actually think it is closer to 100% - I have found even in very happy times life is not perfect :D
Love One Another!
Thanks for the Sunday message :D
Perfect thought for this Sunday. Now can I remember it throughout the week...that can be trouble for me, you know!
Words of wisdom. If we all lived like this the gals on Miss America would be out of wishes!
So true! If we only knew what was really going on behind each other's front doors. We might be a little more gentle.
Great thought friend!
