This is DEFINITELY a list to live by. I think I like every single one of them!
And I love that graphic -- I didn't know that's who did those napkins and such, but I have napkins, magnets, and more of hers!
I like this list a lot - and the picture is wonderful too. I especially like the one about grace and the one about clouds. I'll be copying those down.
Lots of fun. I wondered about that book. I had it on my shelf for quite a while, then gave it to my daughter. Maybe time to look at it again:)
Excellent list to live by.
Great list. One of my favorites is not going to bed angry...a good rule to live by if you want a long marriage!
Great list, you premier list maker you. Good things to think about and then, as Nike says, just do it.
Perfect and wise thoughts. Loved the list and the book. Well worth reading! Thanks for sharing your family's thoughts.
After having met you in person I do believe this is you and your family. What a good list.
Wonderful list! I do believe that about our actions and attitude--I have to deal with a family member who is a trial, but I can't be responsible for that, only how I treat her.
And I like the one about having only praise for your spouse, never would I say something unkind about my husband to anyone, how disloyal.
And definitely enjoy every minute of your daughter, my grew up and left much too soon.
Beautiful list.
Love all you share.
Love Jeanne
lovely. xox
GREAT guidelines for living! :o) ((HUGS))
A little cloud watching.
I love that one.
These are wonderful truths, Relyn. I want to hang every one of them on my wall with the attributions and all!
