GOOD things CAN come FROM emotional EATING!!

So last night I confess, I sat down with a bag of The Most Delicious bag of CARAMEL DOVE CHOCOLATES!!!!! Between my friend and I we ate the whole bag of them!! I probably ate 3/4 of the bag myself!! :) But as I unwrapped each one I would read the words on the inside of the wrapper and to my surprise those words really inspired me!!! So my EMOTIONAL eating was not ALL bad!!! In fact, I think it was so inspirational it payed off! Ok, so as you can tell I am not a JUSTIFYER!!!! LOL :) As I was so inspired, I also wanted to inspire you, so here is what they said................................
"Think of someone who makes you smile!!"
"Remind yourself that it is ok Not to be Perfect!!"
"Believe in and act on YOUR dreams!!"
"Smile when you want to, cry when you need to, laugh whenever possible!!"
"The most enjoyable experiences are often free!!"
"Bring your life to life: stop planning, start doing!!"
"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow!!"
"Think without limits!!"
"Find little ways to make EVERYDAY a HOLIDAY!!"
"One's best success comes AFTER one's greatest Disappointments!!"
"Share a CHOCOLATE moment with a FRIEND!!"
"Learn to say "Hello" in another language!!"
"Success is the SUM of many SMALL efforts!!"
"It's NEVER too late for a Fresh Start!!"
"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate!!"
"Carve out a little moment for yourself today!!"
"Happiness is the Experience of living Every minute with LOVE, GRACE and GRATTITUDE!!"
"Do ALL things with LoVe!!"
" True LOVE is a BOND that lasts FOREVER!!"
"Don't JUDGE OtHeRs OR YoUrSeLf!!"
"Engage, Embrace, Enjoy!!"
"Think Lovingly, Speak Lovingly, Act Lovingly!!"
"Count your Blessings NOT your Worries!!" And for last, but by far not the least (in fact probably 2 of my faves) .................
"Life may CHANGE US, but we start and end with F A M I L Y!!!"
"You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the COURAGE to Lose Sight of the Shore!!!!!!!" In case you all don't know, my sign above my pantry door says............."I would give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter!!!" I am a total believer of that saying!!! :)

Those actually were really good ones. It seems like the ones I get are always retarded. Thanks for the good uplifting messages even though you had to eat them all to get them.

So, when are you going to add me to your blog list? I love reading it. Your boys are adorable and Cambry is an angel. I remember that phone call and visit so vividly. You are a great mom, but you need to add me to your list :)
