I love these, cb!
The one thing always on my wall, no matter where I live, is a quote I first heard as a teenager.
"It's not about how many times you fall, but how many times you rise up."
The other one I keep up is "I love water" -- my chiropractor made me tell myself this each time I had a glass.
Thanks bfg.
everyone passed over my long link post... I guess I should not have bothered with that. lol. Next time I will just post images.

She's got a big heart, doesn't she?
Good morning, littles and everyone!
Cas, I’ve used your list a few times this week. It does help, but I’m still struggling
I miss him so very much and there have been big things happening in my life the last few weeks and he’s not here to share it with or to encourage me. It really really sucks.
Even hubs has noticed something up with me, I’ve been whimpering in my sleep, restless, and hugging my puppy (stuffie) so tightly that his stuffing is all out of sorts
Not sure what to do at this point
