Quote of the Week


Don't let life ruffle your feathers.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. - Unknown


Once you have made this decision, you are in control of your happiness, and this is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

  6. And it's a very good thing, indeed, that happiness isn't tied in to perfection... everyone would be miserable!!

  7. I love this one! I had a friend who bought a pair of earrings and found that they'd sold her one round one and one square one. She kept them to remind her that nothing is perfect. I think about that all the time. Perfection is highly over-rated.
