Well, as I was scavenging through some of my old folders and files yesterday, I stumbled onto a packet of letters from an old friend. I felt like I'd just found a buried treasure. It was so fun. On the back of one of the letters was printed the following quote. I liked it and I hope you do too. I don't know who wrote it, but it's good! Happy Wednesday!
p.s. Angie is scheduled for surgery on Friday. Send love, prayers, Angels, good vibes, etc. etc. etc! We'll hopefully have her back in action next week. :) I'll post again on Friday with any updates that I have. Until then ... have a great couple of days!
Promise Yourself
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Excellent quote and great find. I love finding things I hadn't seen in a long time. It's exciting. I hope a goes well with Angie.
Great quote! And I'm praying for Angie and a speedy recovery!
Enjoyed that quote - thanks for sharing!
Sending good thoughts Angie's way... :)
I sometimes money in coat pockets the following winter. That's always a happy dance day.
I love finding old letters from friends.
Great quote, too. Thanks!
Old pictures do it for me. So fun. Best of luck, Angie!
That quote is perfect for writers! What a fun thing to find. I hope Angie recovers soon!
On, no! Poor Angie! I hope she's okay! And old pictures and notes are so fun to pull out. I love looking through them and remembering all the fun times I've had. Thanks for the post! :D
Perfect!
And I love finding stuff like that. I spent hours just the other day looking through my Harry Potter collection I keep under my stairs. :)
Great quote! Very inspiring!
LOVE that Promise Yourself! I'm so stealing it.
Oh poor Angie. It has been fun to get to know you better Sara. We don't usually get so much time with you :)
Great, great quote! What a fun find. :)
Hoping everything goes smoothly for Angie!
That's a fun idea about the money! I looked through some old papers from high school the other day looking for something and it was fun to remember back.
Oh, I love random surprises!
And tell Angie we miss her! She has such an encouraging, fun on-line presence. Wishing her all the best...
My grandmother put money in everything, too. When she died we found $100 bills everywhere!
Feel better soon, Angie!
I love the quote! And I guess the money thing is a good way to convince yourself to re-read books. :)
I hope all goes well with Angie!
I love the quote - and I am constantly finding tubes of lip gloss in old coats as well! Which is why I can never find them in my makeup bag when I'm getting ready. :-)
Good luck with the surgery, and I Love the quote!
