can't sleep, a few of my favorites, hope you enjoy

Hi Joyce here, I am wide awake and thought I would share a few of my favorite sayings that I must look at and read at least twice a day... I hope you all enjoy them... "When another believes in you, they give hope to your heart and wings to your dreams." "Real friends are those who inspire you to dream, and help you to become more than you ever imagined." "Our hearts keep the memory of everything we've ever loved, our tomorrows hold all that we dream of." "If you can give up your pride enough to do not what you wish you could, but what you can-that very act of doing will give you hope." "Hope is always stronger than you think, Trust it-and you will find the strength and courage you need." I have noticed that the anxiety I feel from time to time is over things I have no control over, or has'nt happened yet and may not even happen too begin with. That is when I remind myself to remember what is within my control and what is not and find a way to get past it helps the anxiety level decrease alot. I have to admit though lately nothing has helped me remember that and my anxiety level and stress level has been way up there. Some day I hope to be back on a normal persons sleeping pattern and not feel as though I am not on Mars. Love to all, Joyce

Hi Joyce, I love these sayings - thanks for sharing !! Isn't it something how we worry so much about things we can't control? I am certainly guilty of doing it. I think being a parent of 7 has helped me learn to let some things go, and to pick my battles. I find that I have to remind myself to think - can I change this? Does it really matter in the big scheme of things? If I don't tackle this problem now, what's the worst that can happen? Once I ask myself those questions, I can usually either work on solving the problem or let go of the worry because it won't change the outcome anyway.
