a little note of happiness ♥


"Once you fix it in your mind that life itself is a gift, 

you begin to find happiness in just about everything."

I woke up with a sore throat, but I have to go in because I have QRIs to do before conferences begin in two weeks. But when you think of life as a gift, it keeps you smiling, that is for sure..thank you for this important message to help us carry on....be well sweet one. Anita

  10. That is the cutest little bird I have seen in a long time. On a tag, lovely idea, think I could try to copy it if I do my best I think it could work out fine.
    Robert Brault is one of my favorites, you shared a beautiful quote today, dearest Maria.

    Happy hugs for a wonderful Thursday xo xo
    Two more sleeps ..

  13. MARIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see you came via your husband's account? I was stumped when I saw CHRIS, then I saw MARIA....but when I clicked on CHRIS, it took me to his profile! He has blogs too! AND THANK YOU FOR COMING!!!!!! I KNOW, sometimes my favorite blogs' new posts get past me and I think, "HOW DID I MISS THIS?" Oh dearest, I have had that nasty 3 month cough before,and it sure is a respiratory thing...for the last two years, I have not gotten sick with my annual laryngitis; now I have passed that on to my colleague! BUT I have a sore throat that went away and now has come back. Oh, the "HEALTH BENEFITS" of teaching!!!!

    Thank you SO much for visiting my shop! I have been in "operation" for two weeks now and I have made more Maria Antoinette tags than I ever imagined I would make since I only did them for fun and occasionally for friends.

    Oh, it is Friday my dearest, and we are almost there. I am so tired, sore in my throat and ears, but MARCH ON!!! A quiz and writing for everyone today, and that is IT!

    BISOUS MON AMIE! Anita

  15. Looks like the pink bird of happiness came to visit you, Maria. We are taking our 3 oldest Grands to the Lion King in Denver tomorrow - Pop Pop and I are looking forward to it as much as the children. Life is indeed full of wonderful gifts.

  21. GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL FRIEND!!!!!!

    Oh, there is so much to say regarding your beauty and kindness my dear. Yes, look up, look up and think about how blessed we all are to have a soul. We are locked into eternity. Once we were created, this is it. He has us as stardust, in the palm of His hand...

    SO GOOD TO SEE YOU! And yes, when I first saw "CHRIS" I was wondering who this was! Ruben and I had the same situation until finally he just got me my own computer. NOW I CAN VISIT WHENEVER I WANT!!!!!!

    Enjoy one extra hour of sleep before going in tomorrow!!! Anita
