My Garmin watch from T, which was on my wishlist after I was influenced by Jen‘s great review of it

My graduation flowers – I looove flowers, especially orchids 🙂

This sign, which serves as a wonderful reminder everyday. Thanks Cider House Mill and Kait!

And last but certainly not least – motivational/inspirational quotes

 

I don’t and never have [truly] striven for perfection. I strive for success and, perhaps just as important, I measure it by my own idea of what success is for me.

Well, I’ve been feeling super driven lately. It’s not that I’m usually not driven – because I am. People sometimes tell me I need to take a moment to relax and not think about my dreams… and I take their advice for a moment or two. (This is not to say I don’t live in the present because if you know me, you know I do.)
But I am always thinking about my next step – or 3 – as well.

I now have the opportunity I’ve wanted since I could remember within my grasp. I just have to overcome one other hurdle and it’s MINE! With the success of overcoming it will {God willing} come amazing things.

This is where uplifting quotes come into play. They’re a favorite of mine because they help me during many times, including feeling-motivated-times like now. So when I stumbled upon these, I was made happy. I thought these were all some good tidbits of advice and inspiration and I figured I’d share them with you. Because who can’t use some good ol’ motivation every now and then? 🙂 

Happy Day!
