Find the Good

Post by jacquel »

I just read a good book by Heather Lende (author of If you lived here I would know your name). She wrote a book called Find the Good, Praise the Good, Do Good!
So I plan to post some of her Good thoughts periodically. I hope it will inspire you all to Find the Good.

The life you imagine doesn’t just happen while you are daydreaming about it. it requires effort.

Keep your eyes on what is important in life and hold onto it tightly with both hands.

I’ve enjoyed this writer ever since we read one of her books for book club. I go to her website about once a month to catch up on her blog posts. Quite a few parallels between her small town in Alaska and our island. Just search for her name, if interested.

The secret to aging more cheerfully is to play like a child.

Isn’t it always the ones who don’t ask for your time and attention who receive it more willingly than those who clamor for it?

The world is full of happiness and plenty to go around, if you are only willing to take the kind that comes your way.
