It reads:
Happiness is something created within--Not a treasure you search for again and again. It's an attitude gained from learning to know how to deal with the bad things and letting them go. It's smiling whenever life gives you a reason--And finding a reason through all of life's seasons.
I just love this. It is very appropriate for my life right now, and maybe it will touch some of you in the same way it has me.
Here is a picture of us taken at the retreat! I saved this pic that Joes posted, because I didn't have one of all of us on my camera :c) In this pic: Joes, Elizabeth, Lucy, Biz, Isabeau and me! :c)Good friends, good times, good memories.

Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with us today! I NEEDED it! I am loving your welcome home quilt...so fun. Your "oldie" is just turning out so great with the added berries and the pieced sashings...amazing what a some very little triangles can accomplish! Wow, I just think it all looks awesome! Have a great time on your trip...

ReplyDeleteI loved your verse. I hope you won't mind if I send it along to my daughter. She is at Ohio State
