Good advice. Happiness is hard to find for so many people because they're looking for it in all the wrong places..... The weather channel had a segment on the tornadoes in 2011. I pray we never see another storm system like that one.
ReplyDeleteSad the devastation from the tornadoes and loss of precious life.
ReplyDeleteI pray nothing like that touches down again too.
I like your advice and outlook points. Keep smiling and hold on to the good. Thank you for your sweet friendship
The tornado pictures are so sad. I really like the list though. Lots of wisdom there!
ReplyDeleteThe tornadoes were awful. It was amazing how quickly they hit - - three times in our area - - and the devastation they inflicted. We were fortunate in that they did not come to our house but were within a mile of it. The landscape going to town has forever changed and even two years later, it still doesn't seem right to see so many trees gone from the landscape. There was a large loss of property for sure but lives lost were much less than they could have been. We do need to be thankful and enjoy each day and each minute.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you didn't bet tornadoes this weekend! Devastating. Great tips about happiness. So important!!
