happy thoughts

Yesterday while out and about with my kids, I ran across a journal that I really liked.  I was going to buy it, even though I really don't need ANOTHER journal right now.  Then they said it was $6 and I just couldn't spend $6 on a journal that I really don't NEED and was thinner than a composition notebook.  So I did what any self respecting cheap person would do.  I took a picture of the cover (after all, it was the cover that I wanted!)  :)

This morning I stopped at a garage sale on my way home from using my Starbucks gift card.  I got a book called The Little Book Of Positive Quotations.  I love quotations.  Plus, the book was brand new and only a quarter.  I'm going to share one that I really like and needed to read this morning.

Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.~Malcolm Forbes

Yep that describes me perfectly.  Actually that describes all eating disorders, all areas of perfectionism and  most people in general.  Today I am going to do my best to stop placing value and worth in what I am not, what I will never be, and find value in what I am.

There is a good chance you will hear more of the quotes from my new book.  After all, they are pretty inspiring.  Just thought I'd give you warning :)
