"Don't get confused between what people say you are, and who you know you are."
-Oprah Winfrey
There comes a point in your life when you must choose to stop letting what other people say about you define who you are. Believe in yourself and know who you are, despite the noise.
You are amazing.
You are beautiful.
You are intelligent.
You are a good mom.
You are brave.
You are capable.
You are loveable.
Life is full of beautiful little moments.
Don't let them pass you by because you are focusing on the ugly ones.
See beauty in everything you find and everyone you meet.
Like this old metal lunch pail that belonged to my grandfather.
It's rusty, squeaky, and scratched.
And that is beautiful.
Wishing you peace, love and beauty in every moment...

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your lovely pictures and thoughts!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures along with wonderful, bright and thoughtful words. I loved it all. When you get a chance, can you email me? I'm having trouble with my blog. . . it's the photo bucket thing again and I can't figure out how to fix it! Thanks.

Very Sweet.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! It is beautiful and we all need to remind ourselves of those things :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Mother's Day :)
What a lovely post, Kristin! Well said. I think most people look past the beauty, or potential of beauty, in the things that surround them everyday. I'm all about the small things in life making me happy. And you know what? I think I'm a happier person because of that. Thank you for your words. =)
