The Journey

I Love You. Three very powerful words. My husband surprised me this morning by sending me a text with those three simple words. It made my day, and I loved it so much that I saved that text. I am often amazed at how such a simple phrase can change the course of a day. Words have power. They have meaning. They can change a day for the better...or for the worst.

There is no blaming anyone for our failures just as there is no one to blame for our successes. Choose wisely. Peace!! J
