When you plant a lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet, if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.
Neil Patrick Harris 1973

Louise Hay 1926 – 2017
I am now creating a new way of living. I know it’s never too late for me – I am never too old to dream and have goals. Dreams and goals keep me young and interested in life.
I find that the more willing I am to be grateful for the small things in life, the bigger stuff just seems to show up from unexpected sources, and I am constantly looking forward to each day with all the surprises that keep coming my way.
I look forward with enthusiasm to the adventures of the day knowing that in my life all is good.

Beauty is altogether in the eye of the beholder.
Aldous Huxley 1894 – 1963

Happiness is a choice we make. You can wake up and say, “Oh, I can’t believe it’s so cold,” or you can say, “Oh, wow, this is a great opportunity for me to try out my new sweater.” No one can be consistently positive, but why not make the choice that makes you feel better, rather than the one that drags you down?
