    Well said. And a beautiful photo! :)

    Seems like when I make the most of today, I am more forgiving of what I didn't do yesterday.

    Go A's?? But bff! It's GO Braves!!!!!!! hehe

    I'm trying to make today all I can from my bed. At least when family comes in to see me, I can have a smile on and then when I know they won't come in, I can cry silently.

    I'll be posting my blog and sidebar today, and fb and twitter again, plus everyday through Monday. Though, if I win The Atlas I want to give it to someone else we all know and love. (((hugs)))

    Lovely message for the day. And like to add that although the day may be not what I expected, may I be thinking with hopeful expectation.
