Peaceful Moments

Peaceful Moments

My Favorite Quote About Life

happiness is a journey, not a destination...
for a long time it seemed to me
that life was about to begin --real life,
but there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
at last it dawned on me
that these obstacles were my life.
this perspective has helped me to see
there is no way to happiness.
happiness is the way.
so treasure every moment you have
and remember that time waits for no one.

Smile it's contagious

As it may be known I work with preschool children. Well I went to the grocery today. As I was approaching my car at the end of shopping; a little girl about 4 or so was sitting in the car with a grandmother. I noticed her because she kept smiling at me and waving with her pointer finger. I put my groceries in the trunk and proceeded to walk the buggy back to the store, as I returned to my car she had moved to the passenger side and just smiled and waved. She acted as though she recognized me in some way, I didn't know her but I waved and smiled as I backed out of my parking space and went on my way. At the end of a busy day, it was nice to have someone smile at you -- not because it's their job, but just because. Don't miss an opportunity to smile -- you never know what kind of day the other person is having.
