Today
Today, I will be grateful for the innumerable blessings God has given me.
Today, I will not allow myself to stay stuck in the past, nor to dwell on what could be.
Today, I will choose to smile, when it makes sense, and when it doesn’t.

Pep talk from You've Got Mail
Birdie: So deary, what have you decided to do?
Kathleen: Close... We're going to close.
Birdie: Closing the store is the brave thing to do.
Kathleen: You are such a liar, but thank you.
Birdie: You are daring to imagine that you could have a different life! Oh, I know it doesn't feel like that...you feel like a big fat failure right now. But you're not. You are marching into the unknown armed with...nothing. Have a sandwich.
Consider it pure joy...
2 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for...
