Teddybears has inspired me to think of random things to brighten a day.
I recieved an e-mail from a friend in Austrailia. Attatched was some sayings, btu the one that stuck out in my mind:
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
I just thought we might like to add on to some inspiring things for a little while, that way, if we are feelign a little blue, we can just pop on in and read them.
Take Care:)

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. :)
So true -- I've heard it before but it has special meaning for me. Thanks for the reminder!! :)
Here's a story that I think is very inspirational --
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
"Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and
she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had
only two hairs on her head.
"HMMM, " she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today."
So she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had
only one hair on her head.
"Well," she said, "Today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So
she did and she had a fun, fun day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there
wasn't a single hair on her head.
"YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"
Attitude is everything!
Have a Good Day!

Just came across this. I tell everyone I want to take up a long spot in the obituary section when I go:
W.R. Rodgers:
LAUGH AT THE SKINNY NOTICE OF YOUR BIRTH,
OR ROAR AT THEOBESE OBITUARY.
I think that everyone has a purpose for touching someone, somewhere along the way. Whether it be good or bad, in jest, love or pity. There is a lesson in everything that happens....we just need to sto pthinking so much with uor heads and more with our hearts.
Have a great day:D

Found another one I like
THE BEST THING WE CAN DO IS TO MAKE WHEREVER WE'RE LOST IN,
LOOK AS MUCH LIKE HOME AS POSSIBLE.

"Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let's not be afraid to receive each day's surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy. It will open a new place in our hearts, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity." - Henri J.M. Nouwen

THERE IS A LOFTIER AMBITION THAN MERELY TO STAND HIGH IN THE WORLD.
IT IS TO STOOP DOWN AND LIFT MANKIND A LITTLE HIGHER.

I was reading up about a song I was thinking about Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)
I just like listening to it, it has all kinds of inspirational things and tidbits in it.
Enjoy the site.

two of my fav quotes, both by Erma Bombeck
It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.
There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.

“When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.” -- Phyllis Bottome
