Life is Beautiful

“Life is change.
Growth is optional.
Choose wisely.”
Karen Kaiser Clark

This quote has a lot of meaning for me. Reading between the lines you can either hide in denial or take advantage of a growth opportunity. Nothing is easy!

Every day is a new day with many opportunities, changes and options. Yesterday was Mother’s Day and I had a choice to feel sorry for myself because Bob (my husband past away on January 10, 2008) was not with us or enjoy the day. I made the choice to have a beautiful day.

Spending the day with my family made it easier. At times it was sad when we reminisced about the good times we had together and also laughed at some of the funny stories. It is amazing how your attitude affects your mood and day.

Every day is a new day and what a great opportunity we have to find the beauty in this world. What new growth opportunity did you learn today?
