My keys for successful living . . .

My keys for successful living . . .

I attended a beautiful family wedding

this past weekend in North Carolina

 and it was so inspiring!

Lots of vintage decorations were used

that carried meaning to the bride.

Everything was thought out with heart and love!

This door in fact was used at the altar

and belonged to her grandmother's farm house.

It had been kept in a barn for a

perfect day such as this.

Somehow I was drawn to the keyhole

while taking this picture

and the thought for a prompt

for my blog this week came to mind.

I truly believe my keys for successful living are ...

Living with a happy heart

Having a strong faith to guide me is important

I must find as much time to be creative as possible

Writing is a way of life ... it is important to get the words down on paper

Treat others as you would like to be treated

See the beauty in all things

Smiling is a gift we can give to others

Enjoy the simple things

Finding time to rest is good for the soul

Family love matters and it is a gift

Believing in yourself is crucial

Don't be so serious!

See yourself as a delight

Love yourself with all your might!

"Seeing the beauty"

So I will take my own words of advice,

with the season of summer now upon us,

I want each day to matter, just a little bit more!

Slow the pace down,

accomplish without stress

and

have plenty of time to hold

my little Annabelle in my arms.

By the way ...

I will have a precious little grandson

coming my way this October,

my other son Drew and his wife Lauren are expecting!

Life just keeps getting better and better,

for I am truly blessed.
