Fortunately today I am feeling more alive again :-). Although everyone will get the flu from time to time, I do believe […]

Think of Happy Thoughts!
posted by Carpe Diem Moments

Have you ever wondered how many of these thoughts are happy thoughts? “People are as happy as they make up their minds to be”. I love this quote from Abraham Lincoln. It’s definitely true! And what […]

“If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine” It’s much easier said than done to shift your focus to positive thoughts. Sometimes you just have an off-day! Some things that I do to help overcome negative thoughts are: 1. Pilates: It takes my focus away from my thoughts. 2. Smile: […]

Smile at the World
posted by Carpe Diem Moments
“Never regret something if it once made you smile :)” “You have one life to live & when it’s all said and done, you will know… happiness is a choice.” I often say to myself: A day not laughed is a day not lived! But a smile doesn’t always mean that we’re happy. Sometimes it simply […]
