This one is from the files of Etta D. 
I found this Gem in my mailbox, sent to me back in 2006 and thought I’d share.

Recently I overheard a Father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.

Standing  near the security gate, they hugged and the  Father said, ‘I love you, and I wish you  enough.’

The daughter replied,  ‘Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.’

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.  ~William Arthur Ward

This past Thursday America celebrated Thanksgivings, a day of celebrating with family and friends while expressing gratitude. With Christmas quickly approaching, this is a time of year when you can easily become overwhelmed with the commercialization of the season; anxious about holiday shopping all of which can make you lose sight of all the things that are going well in your life.

Meaningful Monday-Learning How To Think, Is More Important Than Learning What To Think

“The attempt to prevent our kids from struggling for fear it might scar their permanent records is, instead, scarring them for life.”

Create A Constant Demand For Happiness

To gain real happiness, the first essential is to train yourself to think constantly of the great value of such happiness, and especially with regard to its health producing power. Such thinking will tend to produce a subconscious desire for happiness, and what the subconscious begins to desire it also begins to create. Train yourself to think of happiness as a mental necessity, just as food is a physical necessity, and you will gradually train every element and force in your system to work for the creation of happiness. By creating within yourself a constant demand for happiness, you will inspire the elements of your own nature to produce the desired supply, and ere long the happiness you desire will become a permanent part of your life.    ~Christian D.

Meaningful Monday-“Adulting” Is Hard Work

“Dreaming of being an adult is easy, being an adult is hard work. Don’t spend your childhood dreaming of being an adult, spend it enjoying the wonders of being a child.    ~Etta D. Richards

When I was a little girl,  my anticipation of becoming an adult was only surpassed by those of Christmas and my next birthday. The idea of NO school, NO curfew, NO seeking permission to stay or up late and being able to eat as much ice cream I want when I wanted was a fantastic dream that made my heart sing. Yes, being an adult was the highlight of my 12-year-old life. Then reality hit, I woke up one day and BAM! Guess what? I was adulting and let me tell you, adulthood is overrated! But wait a minute? What constitutes being an adult? Is it age? Maturity or emotional growth and stability? My childhood perception of being an adult was  totally misguided and filled with unrealistic notions.
