“Good habits are your best helpers; preserve their force by stimulating them with good actions. Bad habits are your worst enemies; against your will they make you do the things that hurt you most. They are detrimental to your physical, social, mental, moral, and spiritual happiness. Starve bad habits by refusing to give them any further food of bad actions.”
—Paramahansa Yogananda, “Scientific Healing Affirmations”

Outstanding rose portraits spreading happiness and light,dear Amy !!! Your sage thoughts on Habits and Happiness remind me of one of Aristotle’s quote which I strongly believe : ” Happiness depends upon ourselves ” … BTW, the super-macro bud stole my heart ~~~~~♥ I can touch it and I’m looking forward to seeing it unfolding its petals and revealing more secrets that will make our lives happier ~~♥

Amy I think it is fixed! Yay I made it to your site! Also I wanted to let you know that I am nominating you for The Liebster Award. You are amazing! Much love!

OH! Virginia, I am God help me, SO touched and moved to tears. But, I don’t accept awards anymore because they are so time consuming. I spend so much time going around encouraging and loving on so many people whose blogs I follow, plus what I do on my own blog, and take care of 14 special needs cats. Then my marriage … for example, hubs and I are going to the gym today together.
I am deeply honored that you would think this highly of me. Your kindness towards me I will never forget. That to me is more important than an award. If you scroll down to where my sidebar is, I do have a sign that says Award Free Blog.
May you be blessed for your act of kindness and love to me. Bless you, Virginia!!
