My reflection:
“I think that life is a series of learning experiences. It’s full of questions. And when you find the answers to some of them it’s so fulfilling.” Drew Barrymore

My reflection:
“We cannot change the past; we just need to keep the good memories and acquire wisdom from the mistakes we’ve made. We cannot predict the future; we just need to hope and pray for the best and what is right, and believe that’s how it will be. We can live a day at a time, enjoying the present and always seeking to become a more loving and better person.” Karen Berry

My reflection:
“We do not pray for the sake of praying, but for the sake of being heard. We do not pray in order to listen to ourselves praying but in order that God me hear us and answer us.” Thomas Merton
Jesus tells us to pray always.

My reflection:
“Believe you are beautiful; cherish your uniqueness and be who you are; through every hardship, trust yourself to overcome. Be strong when you can, cry when you can’t; be wise of the past and embrace now! Reach out when you are safe, hide when you are not, laugh often… and listen carefully. And never be afraid to love yourself, for that is where all peace… is born.” Pam Reinke
We are made in God’s image.

My reflection:
“Don’t let setbacks and disappointments discourage you – you have untapped reserves of inner strength.
Let any regrets you may have been a springboard for your future.”
God is always there even if we don’t feel God’s presence.

My reflection:
“You’re going to make some mistakes – don’t dwell on them.
There are some things you cannot change – accept that and move on.

My reflection:
“Sometimes life just throws us a curve, and we’re often so taken by surprise that we feel helpless. We forget how capable we are; we forget how to summon our strength, square our shoulders, and find hope. When the unexpected happens it’s good to remember that you don’t have to accept defeat or bow to circumstances. You just need to call on that courageous spirit within you let your confidence shine through, and remember how capable you are. Sometimes it helps to be reminded of these qualities that keep you strong and moving forward. Remember those other times that try to get you down but didn’t stand a chance because you are strong and capable and a winner through and through!” Barbara J. Hall
With God on our side we have nothing to fear.

My reflection:
“When you say to yourself, ‘I am going to have a pleasant visit or a pleasant journey, ‘you are literally sending elements and forces ahead of your body that will arrange things to make your visit or journey pleasant. When before the visit or the journey or the shopping trip you are in a bad humor, or fearful or apprehensive of something unpleasant, you are sending unseen agencies ahead of you, which will make some kind of unpleasantness. Our thoughts, or in other words, our state of mind, is ever at work ‘fixing up’ things good or bad in advance.”Prentice Mulford

My reflection:
“Every morning, upon awakening, each of us is given a gift… A gift of 24 hours, 1440 minutes, and more than 86000 seconds! Before jumping up to begin your rush to get out the door… take just one of those precious moments to think about how you will spend the rest of your day.
24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year… today, tomorrow, or next week… it’s always the right time to make a change.“ The Staff at Speaking of Women’s Health
God gives us all that time as a gift, let us take at least a few minutes each day to thank God for the many gifts given to each one of us.

My reflection:
“You can count your blessings. You can be inspired to climb your ladders and have some nice, long talks with your wishing stars. You can be strong and patient. You can be gentle and wise.
And you can believe in happy endings. Because you are the author of the story of your life.” Douglas Pagels
