A Young Womens leader gave me this quote on a magnet when I was 12. Looking at this everyday on my mirror, i have had this memorized for years... It has taught me to keep my head on straight;)

"Outside my window, a new day I see
 and only I can determine what kind of day it will be.
 It can be busy & sunny, lauging & gay,
or boring & cold, unhappy and grey.
My own state of mind is the determining key,
 for I am the person I let myself be.
 I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
or be selfish & think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it fun,
or gripe & complain and make it hard on someone.
 I can be patient with those who may yet not understand,
 or belittle and hurt them as much I can.
I have faith in myself, and believe what I say,
and will personally make the best of each day." - Author Unknown
