"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

words to ponder~



“Permanence, perseverance and persistence
in spite of all obstacles,
discouragement, and impossibilities:


It is this,
 that in all things
 distinguishes 
the strong soul from the weak”
Thomas Carlyle

I am clamoring around trying to be permanent, persistent and persevere, wanting to land on my feet and be a strong soul. Some days it is a real struggle....other days, not so much!

Thanks for sharing!

Sorry for the delays in replying. It takes me a while to do my blog rounds with a slow internet connection!
