I have a terrible habit. I will read something and a phrase or two will just jump out at me. Impress me as something I need or want to remember and keep in mind. I will write it down on what ever paper happens to be handy. I am “memory guy”, more often than not it seems out of sight, out of mind. I have to get more organized in where I write down these little gems of wisdom AND where I got them from, so that if at some point I post them I can give due credit. I imagine I have maybe even dozens of these little gems laying around somewhere in the house just waiting for me to stumble upon them again.
It really does seem, when I need a lift or what ever the case may be. I seem to come across one of these little gems that contains just the message I need to here at the moment.
“No one said life would be easy just worth it”.
“Life is one of those things that the more you put into it, the more you get back”.
“Work towards building the life you want or eventually you will realize you realize you are stuck with the life you have”
“Today is the first day of the rest of your life. What are you going to do with it?

Yaknow… I have a whole collection of sticky notes with sayings/reminders/personal kicks in the rear end on ’em. LOL. I’m a visual kinda gal and outta sight is outta mind. They get changed on a regular basis cuz I have a tendency to look around them and ignore them. I’ve started sticking them in a binder, they’re that good. And it’s interesting that some are repeated. LOL. Tough nut, I am!
Hey Mel, the idea of having a binder is a good one. Now I just write these little gems Down on anything handy. Some go in my wallet while others are put away for me to rediscover later.
