Tuesday Truth--See the Good in Everything
"Train your mind to see the good in everything. Positivity is a choice. The happiness in your life depends on the quality of your thoughts." -Marcus Aurelius-
Monday Mission--Think About What You Think About
Your thoughts have power. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "You are what you think all day long!" So when you think about what you think about, what comes to mind? When you ask yourself this question, how are you centering your thoughts. If you are anything like me, at times it's a huge challenge to find framework in the many thoughts that circulate inside my head. The apostle Paul also helps put thoughts in to perspective in Philippians 4:8 (NIV), "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."

Monday Mission - Buy the Birdseed
Last spring as the winter snow began to melt off our deck, my husband approached me with a proposition – “I think we should get some bird feeders for our deck.” My initial response was skeptical.
