Well, sorry Shelly, but since my sisters, plural, are inextricably linked in my mind, and since there's no telling if I'll still be blogging in May to give Jenny the same courtesy, and since I've been holding on to this particular set of pictures to blog since the spring, you guys are getting the 2-for-1 special today.
I am so, so thankful for my sisters. Without them, who would have I these kinds of conversations with?
P.S. Nice 'N' Easy was not so nice to me. Do not advise!
P.P.S. Happy Birthday, Shelly!
P.P.S. Happy Birthday, Shelly!
“Ordinary happiness depends on happenstance.
"Joy is that extraordinary happiness that is independent of what happens to us.
"Good luck can make us happy, but it cannot give us lasting joy. The root of joy is gratefulness. We tend to misunderstand the link between joy and gratefulness. We notice that joyful people are grateful and suppose that they are grateful for their joy. But the reverse is true: their joy springs from gratefulness. If one has all the good luck in the world, but takes it for granted, it will not give one joy. Yet even bad luck will give joy to those who manage to be grateful for it.
"We hold the key to lasting happiness in our own hands. For it is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful."
