“Someone in the world is having the best day of their life today.”
This is one quote that will put a smile on anyone’s face the second he reads it.
I hope it made you smile today. ☺
This rejection is a redirection.
One day at a time
Each day is a day you can’t ever go back to.
So as much as you can,
Choose to be positive. (➕)
Choose the right decision. (✔️)
Choose to be kind. (🕊️)
Choose love. (🤍)
Thanks for the reminder, Paul
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Let them. Stop explaining. Stop chasing. Stop asking. Let them. Whatever you say or do, they will do what they want to do. They have minds of their own. Let them.
