Gratitude

To change your life fast, use gratitude to shift your energy.
When you put all of our energy into gratitude, you will see miracles take place in your life.
Feel the gratitude.
Your power is in the feeling that you put into words of gratitude.

Goals for 2009

I need to set goals for 2009, and maybe if I set them here, I will try harder at achieving them.



I am going to concentrate on 3 areas:


  1. Self Improvement: weight, appearance, and a more positive & encouraging attitude

  2. Fun: crafts, attend an activity of choice, develope or improve upon an area of interest

  3. Work: becomming certified as a MDSC, achieving quarterly goals, time management



Promise Yourself

Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, & too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Believing

To master believing,
all you have to do is tip the balance of your thoughts, words, and actions,
from 'not believing' to believing.

The ONLY thing that can ever get in the way of manifesting what you want,
is having more thoughts of 'not believing',
speaking more words of 'not believing',
and taking more actions of 'not believing',
than you are of believing.

Base the majority of your thoughts, words, and actions in believing,
and the law of attraction must obey you.

Believing contains no doubt.
Believing does not waiver.
Believing is absolute faith.
Believing remains steadfast, despite what is happening in the outside world.

Experienced

You know enough now that you don't need to follow someone else's patttern.
Or to keep repeating your own.
You can break the pattern.
Or improve it.
Perfect it.
Change the plan.
Adapt and improvise.
Make what works best, work for you.
Now your skills and knowledge base, will take you where ever you want to go.

Intermediate

You are getting better, smarter, quicker and faster.
And yet you know just enough, to realize how much you still have to learn.
Now is when you are ready to take chances.
To figure our just how far you want to go.

Easy

It is all about getting the hang of things.
Easy does it, take it easy.
You will figure out something in time.
But for right now, just keep trying.
Pay attention and avoid temptation to go farther then you are ready.
Talk less.
Observe and listen more.

Beginner

Take baby steps: don't focus on those whose skills are far beyond your own.
When you are new at something, or haven't tried it in a while, it can feel impossibly hard to get it right.
Every misstep, feels like a reason to quit.
You envy everyone, who seems to know what they are doing.
What keeps you going?
The belief that one day, you will also be like that: confident, elegant, capable, experienced.
And you can be.
All you need now, is enthusiasm.
A little bravery.
And, always, a sense of humor.

A Journal Holder for Shannon


I ordered her a thicker 4x6 notebook, but it did not come in. Will have to give it to her at a later date. Shannon loves to Journal and write poetry. I hope she likes it!!

Happy Holidays from Our Family to Yours


Our Wish for You in 2009................
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills.
May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!
May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and
May happiness slap you across the face and your tears be that of joy.
May the problems you had forget your home address!
In simple words ........
May 2009 be the best year of your life so far and the rest be even better !
Happy New Year !!
Pete, Judianne, Stephan, Michael & Melissa
