Thoughtful Thursday

Got to love alliteration, right?

I thought that on Friday Eve we could all use a positive thought to get us to the end of the day on Friday.
"Spending time with children allows us to experience our own sincere enjoyment of activities-going to the circus, decorating cookies, making balloon animals-that we wouldn't undertake on our own."

Have any of you tried positive affirmations? I really enjoy them. I use them when working out or when I'm trying to re-frame my mind. Sometimes I post them on my home screen of my phone or write them on a note card that I can see multiple times throughout the day.
Here are a few, maybe one will peak your interest.

May my heart be kind, my mind fierce, and my spirit brave.

Where I am right now is exactly where I need to be.

I surround myself by those who make me better.

Every day in every way, I'm getting better and better.

Walking Wednesday

Sorry we had a late start today to our walk. Thanks to those that joined us. It was lovely to get out even for 10 minutes in the sun and just breathe and chat. Hope to see you next week.
