An Important Thought

While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.

I think red is the color of the day. I saw cherries, I am now wearing a red shirt and now a red daisy, is this a sign that I should start controlling myself. . .from eating? LOL

So true, but those bad feelings are such fun sometimes? Seriously that is a quote we could all do well to remember.

Just home from hiking, all day long in the rain. We had so many flowers, all covered with rain, as were we. And I think to myself, I was covered with rain on the outside, but I was filled with red on the inside, just like this beautiful flower...

Your words ring true! Great pic too...
