August quote...

Now that it's almost September...which is weird (time is going by way to fast recently) I'm finally getting around to posting the August quote of the month! It says
"When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them." -Confucius
Words of wisdom I think I could stand to remember. When you really think about it how often do you find yourself saying "I love myself and am happy with who I am." Um, not as often as I think I should. So I've been trying to be happy with myself. Yeah, I have faults. There are things that I want to change about myself. I could make a whole list for you, but I won't. Because I've re-realized recently that to truly be happy, you need to stop dwelling on the negative. You need to abandon your faults and not let them control your life. Now I'm not saying don't set goals for yourself, but be happy on the journey. Don't say, I need to fix this or change that and until then I won't be truly happy. Because I think, no I believe, that if you do that, you're going to end up looking back at your life and realizing how many opportunities you missed. So abandon your faults, and love who you are.
On a lighter note, I finally got my pictures on my computer from my camera. I know, it's been forever since I said I would get them posted, but I'm serious this time. They're just waiting for me! So check back and I'll make sure I'll get them posted soon!

Awesome post! Thanks so much. I have had some happenings recently that have reminded me that life is wonderful. Dwell on the good and happy things and not so much on the things that you can do nothing about. Love to you!

True! True! I am still learning to not worry about things I can't do anything about. But I love the idea of life is great!
