"Whatever your mind can conceive and believe,
it will achieve."
So speaks a lovely coffee mug covered with inspiration, a gift from a lifelong friend Marianne. I have often sipped from that mug, and even sometimes allowed myself to be inspired. Never mind that it's somewhat difficult to read all the golden words as they encircle the mug--they are there, and I know they are there....
And I often have been calmed and consoled--and even mildly fired up by this mug. Or at the very least, I have been stimulated by the caffeine residing within!
"There's no failure except
in no longer trying."
And so I dutifully try, try again....
Try another diet or "sensible eating plan".
Try another occupation (I DO have a colorful crazy quilt of a resume now).
Try another place to live--just ask my friends and family,
who now enter my address in pencil.
Try another exercise plan--or movement--or twitch.
Try another weigh-in....
will the number go down if I put the scale on the bath rug?
(Answer: it really does!)
"Success is an attitude. Get yours right."
No one can ever accuse me of lacking an attitude. I can strike an attitude anytime, anywhere, as proven in this Christmas Eve attitude I tossed out while posing with my sisters.
My brother John, the photographer, said, "Show some ATTITUDE", and so I did!
(That would be me on the far right, showing much elbow and attitude.)
"What you believe yourself to be, you are."
WELL, AT THE VERY LEAST, I AM A TERRIFIC COFFEE DRINKER!
