Going Out

Going out today, so I hope you’ll forgive the short post.  Everyone have a fabulous weekend, and I’ll catch up with you later!

All Things Are Possible

And having thus chosen our course, without guile, and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear, and with manly hearts.
--July 4, 1861 Message to Congress

I saw this quote and it applied perfectly to my mood today.  I’ve loved President Lincoln ever since I was a little tike, and this quote only strengthens my admiration of him.  To me, though, it transcends the man himself.  This is a gentle reminder, to me, at least, that if we trust in Him, all things are possible!

Have a good weekend, all!

Under the Weather

Let's say I’m under the weather today.  I guess I’m human!  So forgive me.  I’ll make up for it next week!

Wonderful Week

Let me just say this was a wonderful week.  I’m truly blessed with great family and friends!

Love to all!

Abounding Inspiration

I just read an article online and thought it was so inspirational, I'd share with you.  It's proof that miracles happen everyday, but it's the acknowledgement of them that brings a smile to our lips and a song to heart.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Post-Graduation

What a week!  I’m still in awe of last Saturday’s events.  The day truly exceeded my wildest expectations and I’m on cloud nine!  Suffice it to say that May 17,2014 will live in my memory as long as I breathe.  As I made my way across that stage in the midst of a standing ovation, I felt the warmth of the love of those who have passed before me and knew they were with me on this momentous day.

Thank you to all who made this day possible.  For this, I am truly grateful!

Graduation

I AM GRADUATING TOMORROW!  I’m over the moon with excitement.  I want to thank everyone for your continuing support by reading my blog.  It proves tomorrow is just a continuing step on this amazing journey we call life!

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

I read a very inspirational article and I would like to share it with you.   Today, I completed a final, so I’m a little brain dead.  As always, I hope you enjoy this article and have a fabulous weekend!

A Poem for Hope

I saw this poem and thought it was a good one to post for the week.  As always, but especially at this time of year, I want to thank you for your support.  It is a time to reflect and prepare myself for the final push of the semester, and as all of you know, this is my last!  Your readership means the world to me, so thank you for investing your time and effort in this.  It means so much!  And now for the poem!

An Inspirational Thought, 

Motivational Thought Poem for Hope 

by Catherine Pulsifer 

As long as we have hope, we have direction, 

the energy to move, and the map to move by. 

We have a hundred alternatives, a thousand paths and infinity of dreams. 

Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go; Hopeless, we are lost forever. 

Hope is the anticipation of an event or an occurrence. 

Our own individual hopes are our own desires,

or could be considered our wish for the future. 

Hope can give us a feeling of optimism when we are feeling discouraged. 

As Diogenes once said, "Hope is the dream of a waking man." 

Hope is one of the prime differences between successful people and those who can only see failure.

Successful people have hope because they can clearly see their goals. 

People who only see failure have no hope because they see no light,

they set no goals, and they see nothing accomplished. 

Successful people see alternatives and are willing to try different ways.

People who only see failure are unable to see another way and give up to easily. 

With hope you are halfway to where you want to go; by setting your goals, and taking the action to achieve them,

you will see your hope turn into your reality! 

A Book

I thought I share this little poem written by Emily Dickinson entitled A Book.  I thank all of your support as I go into these last few of college.  It really bolsters my morale!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

A Book

There is no Frigate like a Book

To take us Lands await

Nor any Coursers like a Page

Of prancing Poetry—

This Traverse may the poorest take

Without oppress of Toll—

How frugal is the Chariot

That bears the Human Soul—
