Clara, that is a good one. Reminds me of that quote by Chuck Swindoll...

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

Thanks Marci, I wish I could have said it that well! I knew what I thought, but the words just wouldn't come!

Good quote Clara!

Hope you are okay after the night of bad storms??

Good quote. Attitude is in my memory verse for last week. Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active. ...it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
I hope you didn't get any storm damage.

I like that too.
The great thing about this is that if your attitude happens to be bad at the time you see this post, the face of that smiling baby is sure to turn your attitude around. Babies ALWAYS make me happy!!!

Attitude is everything.

Please let us know that you are OK after the tornado. Our TV up north here tells us the state but not the town or exact area. It really looked bad.
