"You will never be happier than you are today."
Who said that? Oh, that would be my friend Joanna Morris. At least that's where I heard it first. I also read something similar on my friend Elise's blog. (Umm, yeah my friends are awesome.)
Now, when I find myself feeling sad, wanting and wishing for something that I don't have, or waiting for the future I say this to myself. And it inspires me. It motivates me to be happy. Today. Right now. Because if I can't be happy now, with all that I have...then I never will be.
Yes, there are things I want. Things I wish that were different. Things I look forward to. But even if I had all of those "things" today - I would still be me. And if I can't be happy with what I've already got? Well then all those things aren't going to change that.
So...I will be happy with all that I have today. Because I have so much. How could I not be???
Thanks for the inspiration girls - you're the best : )
And here's to a happy 2009.

SUMMER, i just wanted to say HI. I keep thinking about how cold it is in cleveland right now (we're in CA), and then I think about you, and how much colder it is where you live. I'm so impressed you guys are still out there running errands, etc. I think I would spend all winter trying to dig underground tunnels around the city so I wouldn't have to get out in the cold. Anyway, just thought I'd say hi.
Great thought, I'll try to remember it next time Landon makes me sad.
Summer, I LOVE it! What an awesome mantra. I think I am going to have to copy you because it is so wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing such a great thought!!!
