Thursday’s Thought-Life Isn’t About Finding Yourself.

Well, another week is almost over and Thursday is already here…so that means that it is time to do my Thursday’s Thought!

Click here for the download: Life isn’t about finding yourself

I love this thought, because we really do create our own selves. Everything that we do, or don’t do…defines who we are and that is exciting that we can control our own destiny! Many different things and circumstances make up our lives and how we live and react to those things make up who become!

So Dream BIG & Live BIG!

Happy Thursday Everyone and Thanks for Visiting!

Thursday’s Thought-A Good Father is…

Today for my Thursday’s thought, I decided that I had better do one more Father’s Day quotes. I think that this one is so true. Good dad’s are sometimes hard to come by. I am so grateful for my own father and the great example that he is to my family and I. We all just love him to death! I am also grateful for my husband’s father. He too, is well loved by all of us!

This would be fun printed and framed for the father in your life! To print just click on this link: Father’s Day

I am also so grateful for my husband who was always there for my children as they were growing up…and is still there for them all the time. They still value his opinion on things from raising the kids to finances to sports questions and everything in between! It is so great that they feel like they can call him anytime and he will take the time to talk to them!

If you have a great father in your life, be sure to tell him how much you love and appreciate all that he has done for you!

Happy Father’s Day to all those great dads out there!

May 29, 2014Printables, Quotes, Thursday's Thoughtschips quote, free printable, funny saying, printable, printable saying, quote, sandwich quote, sandwiches need chips shoulders do not, Schlotzsky's, Schlotzsky's chips, Thursday's ThoughtRita

My thought today comes from the courtesy of my bag of chips from one of my favorite sandwich places…Scholtzsky’s !

I think that there might only be one of these restaurants in Utah now, there used to be several, but they are hard to find now! :(

My husband and I eat here a couple of times a month! I love, love, love the bread that they make the sandwiches on! :) When I saw this saying, I just knew that I wanted to add it as one of my Thursday’s Thought. This is right up my alley!

So this summer, as you are eating chips with all of sandwiches, I want you to remember this little saying! :)

Have a great Thursday Everyone!

Thanks for Visiting!

Thursday’s Thought-If You Have A Garden

May 8, 2014Flowers and Garden, Printables, Quotes, Thursday's Thoughtsflowers, free printable, garden thought, gardens, If you have a garden..., library thought, Marcus Tullius Cicero quote, printable, printable thought, quote, Thursday's ThoughtRita

Since I have been spending a bit of time out in my yard, I decided that I would do a thought about gardens! :) I have had this thought up in my office for awhile, but decided that it needed to be prettied up a bit. So here is my new version:

This quote is by Marcus Tullius Cicero.

I actually printed this out and put in a frame so I can now replace my old version with this new fun bright version!

I love planting flowers and I actually went with my dad yesterday to a nursery and we both got a couple of flats of flowers! His are to plant along his driveway, mine are to plant some more pots! I love planting pots…because you don’t have to weed them! :) I will take pictures when I get all of my pots planted.

The part about this saying that I have not done well with… is the library part. I have plenty of books to read, I just cannot seem to get to them! I love to read, but it is a luxury that I just cannot seem to find the time to do anymore. If I read for 20-30 minutes every morning, that is about all I get in! SOMEDAY…I will read more again!

Hope you all have a great Thursday!

Thanks for visiting!

How is everyone doing today? I am still in the cleaning out and organizing mode! I love it when I get in this mode, I seem to get this way every January and I have to take advantage of it because it does not seem to stay very long! I got my closet all cleaned out and organized and most of my office (I still need to work on my desk top a little bit) Today, I put a BUNCH of stuff away in my scrapbook room and organized somewhat. I still have so many scrapbook supplies from when I owned my store. I need to purge some of it out, but I don’t really even know where to start! How about you, are you in the cleaning/organizing mode or has that mode already passed you by? :)

Well, here is my Thursday’s Thought for this week. I thought that this would be a fun one to print and put in a frame to put in my kitchen to go along with my few Valentines decorations.

I love this saying :

This would be a fun little framed gift or it would also make a cute card or tag!
