words from Pinterest

so, you know i love me some pinterest.

i love all my boards.

today though i feel the need to share a little "pick-me-up".

a little fun.

a few wise words.

on pinterest you can find lots of interesting, fun, wise quotes.

some that seem made just for you.

like this one:

i love lemons.

i love cupcakes

my wedding colors were pink & yellow.

it's almost like it was made for this little corner of the universe that is wholly me.

this blog.

MY blog.

there are also funny ones.

this one totally cracks me up.

and things that i wish i could tell some people.

ha ha! love it!

you can find quotes to remind us of what is important in day to day life. even in the minute {my-nute?}.

quotes to remind me to be myself.

you be yourself too!

even when it's hard.

even when you're not sure.

even when you think others will dislike you for it.

wise words.

words that remind me that even when being "myself" i must be considerate.

words to remind me not to waste my time, my life, or my family's time with petty things like anger.

 worry.

{this one reminds me of my mother-in-law. she's a worrier & has passed that trait onto her son. my husband. hi susan!}

 and even yesterday.

past times even with all the great memories won't get you anywhere today.

everyday is a new day & should be taken as an opportunity for new memories, new creations, new achievements.
