Maddie loves the camera!

We were hanging out on the couch last night.  Maddie likes alot of attention so I let her play with my iphone.  She gets super excited looking through the photos in my album.  Anyways, as soon as she saw the flash go off she posed a superstar smile.  What a ham!!   Here she is with her new blankie.

On another note, I found these 'rules' for living...and they really spoke to me today, so thought I'd share.  Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

1.   Find the lesson in every failure, and you'll never fail

2.  The likelihood that you're right is not increased by the intensity of your conviction.

3.  Real friends help you feel worthy and make you want to be better.

4.  When you're in a hole, stop digging.

5.  Don't confuse fun with fulfillment or pleasure with happiness.

6.  Refusing to let go of a grudge is refusing to use the key that will set you free.

7.  Hating hurts you more than the person you hate.

8.  Counting on luck is counting on random chance; your odds are much better when you plan and work.

9.  It's better to be kind than clever.

10.  Don't underestimate the power of persistence.

11.  The easy way is rarely the best way.

12.  It's much easier to burst someone else's bubble than to blow up your own.

13. You can't avoid pain, but you can avoid suffering.

14.  Self-pity is a losing strategy; it repels others and weakens you.

15.  Shortcuts usually produce short success.

16.  Control your attitude or it will control you.

HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY!!
