Quotes for a Bad Day
My online personal trainer, Jonathan Roche, sent out a list of quotes last week that I have on my refrigerator. Yeah, the quotes are supposed to be motivating me to lose my last three pounds, but they're also helping me feel more positive about my writing and other things. So here they are for you to enjoy. I'd also love for you to comment and share your favorite quote.

I'd say those are quotes for a good day too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite latest quotes are from Pres. Uchtdorf. Just looked up a bunch of them today -
No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you with an infinite love. Just think of it: You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time!
The happiest people I know are not those who find their golden ticket; they are those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments. They are the ones who, thread by daily thread, weave a tapestry of gratitude and wonder throughout their lives. These are they who are truly happy.
Thanks, Amy. I love your quote. I've thought a lot about his golden ticket story. It's such a great analogy.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I can't think of a favorite quote right now, but I really liked your list!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these! Thanks for sharing! One of my favorites (author unknown, of course) is: You may have the faith to move a mountain, but don't be surprised if God hands you a shovel. :)
