A few life quotes I need to remember:

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"

“Change your thoughts and you change your world."
-- Norman Vincent Peale

"It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning."
-- Claude Bernard

"Everything eventually falls into place. Until then laugh at the confusion, live for the moment and remember that everything happens for a reason."
- Author unknown

Talk more. Smile more. Even when you dont have the will or energy to. It helps.

Need to learn to pull a good mood out of thin air. Need to work hard to make tasks seem less like work :)

They say the Lord never gives you more than you can bear....holding on for dear life to this theory

Pretty vivid imagery of a stressful life right there. Love the quotes and hope at the end though. Need to store some of those in my mind as well.

Thanks
