I like to plant good thoughts in my head; especially at the start of a new year.
I had been looking for an inspirational saying for 2017 and began digging through all my usual sources for finding great quotes -- you know the kind -- the great words that have been uttered or written by world leaders and iconic, historic figures.
I read through lots of incredible things said by renowned people.
But the words that really spoke to me the most at the close of 2016
came from a place I did not expect.
As I relaxed during New Year's Eve, I was reading the premier issue of a new magazine;
In the pages of this lovely new magazine the editor, Joanna Gaines, expressed a simple, yet difficult-to-master, truism that we often forget to apply on a daily basis.
Here are those wise words.
~ Look too far
Ahead or behind,
and We risk missing
the JOY
Intended for Here and Now.
the JOY
Intended for Here and Now.
There's a Certain Richness in
TODAY
that May never be Around Again.
. . . I Continue to Move My HEART toward
Contentedness and Gratitude
for What THIS Day and Time Hold. ~
~ Joanna Gaines ~
We Hope You
Embrace the Blessings of
THIS DAY
and
Every Day in 2017
