Words are powerful. They can create, transform, and destroy. They can wound as well as heal. Be gentle and thoughtful in what you say today.
Hi, Alan! Thanks for the friend invite. :)
Good morning. Today is another opportunity to make great things happen.
You are the product of your experiences. Choose your experiences well today.
I love mornings, so full of promise and possibilities, so ripe with opportunity.
How ambitious is your imagination? Do you think outside the box? How far? What would happen if you removed all restrictions on your imagination today?

Old times are just that ... old. This is a new day. Be renewed in it.
Don't let your fear of making mistakes keep you from living your dreams. Our mistakes teach and strengthen us. Rise above those fears and chase some dreams today.
You can seldom change circumstances, but you can almost always control your reaction to them.
Treasure your dreams because they are the seeds from which your future grows. Nourish them well today.
You can't put life's moments away because they live in your heart, but you can put them in their proper place and live more fully in the present.
Be patient. Sometimes we have to endure a harsh winter to get a sensational Spring. See the promise in whatever comes your way today.
Make today amazing. Smile often. Spread kindness. Lend a helping hand. I hope you make some precious memories today.
Life experiences matter. They shape and strengthen us. Open your mind and heart to new experiences today.
There are moments that will change us forever. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't appreciate the value of a moment until it passes. Stay alert to the opportunities today.
Seek out and really feel the souls of those closest to you today. Appreciate the goodness you find there. Soothe the hurt. Encourage their dreams. Love them unconditionally. Make it a well spent day.
So here's the deal. Today is where the rest of your life begins. Your entire past has prepared you for today. But have no doubt, the decisions you make and the actions you take today will define your future. Perhaps slightly. Perhaps in a big way. Don't take anything for granted today. Your future depends on it.
There is so much in life we can't control, much less change. But we can control and change ourselves. What changes will you make today?
There is great pleasure in living a simple life. A shared smile. A hearty laugh. Magical places. Loyal friends. True love. The greatest treasures in life are free. Share yours today.
What you do today matters. Smile. Listen. Care. Lend a helping hand. In giving meaning to others, you give meaning to yourself.
Good morning. It's time to begin again to make a difference. But first you have to determine what kind of difference that will be. And then you have to actually do it. At the end of the day, what will your legacy be?
Never underestimate the power of your dreams. Let those wondrous things you earnestly want to do drive your decisions and actions today.
After a tragic event, trust that your wound will heal and that you'll become whole again. Though you won't be the same as before, you can learn from the experience and learn to live with your past however tragic it may be. Remember that past experiences prepare us to become the person we are meant to be.
Life is like a complex picture puzzle. Each day we sit down at the puzzle and link up some of the pieces into the beautiful picture that's slowly taking shape. Each day we ponder puzzle pieces that don't seem to fit ... yet. And what joy when our pondering finally sees the light and we slide another piece into place.
Being honest may prevent you from having a lot of friends, but the few who tolerate and respect your honesty will be the right ones.
Your dreams are important, but they won't amount to anything unless you work them. Dream big. Work hard.
There are wonders all around you. Some are apparent. Many are hidden. Want a wonderful life? Seek wonderment.
Harbor kind thoughts today. Be gentle with your words. Smile often. Be love.
You are your own kind of beautiful. The light in your heart is the source of your beauty. The happiness that radiates from your face make you so very pretty. Your kind words make your lips beautiful. Your attentive eyes are captivating. Your smile is by far the most appealing curve on your body. Your imperfections makes you real and relatable. You are, without a doubt, beautiful in every sense of the word.
Your compassion, gentleness, and concern gives you an inner beauty that never fades. The smile and kind words you freely share brightens the lives of others. You are a blessing.
Honesty is much more than truth telling. It's truth thinking and truth living. If honesty doesn't extend to all aspects of self, it's not honesty.
Your inner beauty shines when you're at peace with who you are and with those around you. It's time to forgive and forget. It's time to let go of your troubles and struggles. It's time to let all, including yourself, to just be. Calm yourself today, release your inner beauty, and let it shine.
Inner beauty is about having a caring mind, a warm heart, and, most importantly, a beautiful soul. Inner beauty doesn't need makeup and it never fades. Let your inner beauty shine today.
For the most part, you can't see your own blind spots. If you want to find them seek candor from those closest to you. If you're sincere they won't mislead you.
Trying to succeed without effort is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted. The best way to achieve something is to begin, and today is as good a day as any to start.
When the road of life gets bumpy, get a firm grip on the steering wheel, tighten up your seatbelt, and enjoy the ride as best you can. The destination will be worth the trip.
Somewhere there is something awesome waiting to be discovered by you. And today could be the day you discover it. Stay alert.
Be the light at the end of the tunnel. Let your light shine so brightly that others will find the way through their darkness.
The path to your future is not a straight line, and it often involves detours, flats and wrecks. Don't be discouraged. These challenges just part of the process of creating the person you were meant to be.
You're just one choice away from a radically altered life. Opportunities abound. Choose wisely.
When was the last time you did something for the first time? Today is full of opportunities. Seize one or two of them and transform your future.
What will you be a catalyst for today? Healing or hurt? The way we treat someone can affect them forever. Will you be indifferent? Harsh? Gentle? It's your choice.
Defuse hostility with kindness. It's amazing how much good a few kind words or some understanding can do. If you spread kindness to just one person each day, imagine how much joy you'll create in a lifetime. Make a difference today.
Everyone you meet has a purpose in your life. Some will be affirming. Some won't. Look beneath the surface of the difficult people in your your life, seek the good within them, and then make the best of what you find. Sometimes the treasure comes easily. Sometimes you have to dig deep for it.
Today is a gift. When tomorrow comes, today and all its opportunities will be gone forever. Pay attention to today. Relish its blessings. Grow from its experiences. Make the day matter.
Shift your attention from the past. Instead look forward and focus on your dreams. Hope. Believe. And, most of all, act on those dreams. Move on today toward the more joyful life you were meant to have.
Thank you for acceptation my friend request, Sandy. I hope your Sunday is bringing you great joy.
