Smile! It’s Saturday

I hope you have a wonderful day!

“Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.”
― Greta Garbo

I just read that quote and decided it is my favorite! I have been told I always have a smile on my face, I have been told I am too emotional. I agree with Miss Garbo. I am tough. I feel things strongly and that is OK. I am able to feel things, face things and I am not broken! It is the ones who are able to feel, to understand and articulate those feelings, face them, right or wrong, admit things, openly, authentically that are the fiercest! I like that about me! Hey! Today I found something I like about myself! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Something Beautiful

When I see a dirty, ragged, chipped and lonely piece of furniture I feel compelled to see beyond its appearance, to the heart of it.

This is not finished. Unfortunately when I began working with wood I didn’t foresee my commitment to see the end from the beginning. I had no idea I could do this and I certainly didn’t realize my enjoyment. I lose myself when I’m sanding wood. I only use a sander up to 400. From there I do it by hand.

This is my first sanding job. I’m not finished. I only had up to 2000 grit

#FreakyFriday

Don’t live your Friday wishing it was Saturday.

I love that Friday feeling! So, what are your plans for the weekend?

Today, I will focus on forgiveness and kindness. That I can show mercy to those who have done wrong to me. That I can release the hurt and begin to move on and heal.

Today, I focus on breathing and letting go. No why’s to ask and no reasons to hash. Go on everyone and have a blessed day! Seize the day!

#Magic

“Magic is believing in yourself; if you can do that, you can make anything happen”
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I love this quote because when you do believe in yourself, you accomplish it! I am worthy of success! I am loved! I am not alone, and it’s not too late! Beautiful things are coming to me, beautiful moments. I am exactly where I am supposed to be and I am on my way!
