"attitude"
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our Attitudes." -Charles Swindoll

- [On my Jamaica heart: one piece of my heart is on a little island in the sea where the pretty coral leaves pretty scars and the guavas are free. i prefer island life. sometimes. give me sunshine.] I am a bird-tree hybrid. My life is all about growing roots, spreading my wings and using them, and learning the art of living with joy in the midst of all these transitions until I need stay settled enough to have my own family.
