The Ladybug

Breathe “We have most likely encountered the sentiment of the warmth rays of the shining sun and a gentle breeze breaking through the mists. Finding ourselves adoring the beauty of it, we began to notice the splendor around us in the flowers, birds, trees and blue sky. We are in a state of amazement, receptive to the beauty we ordinarily take for granted. There is beauty around us each day. We have to appreciate it more so we can take better care of our surroundings. Today, I will take a moment to enjoy nature, to breathe and reminisce.”                                                                                                             -Darlena Swann

Q-tip “Q-tip stands for quit taking it personal. Behind each no, there’s a yes. Behind every failure, there’s a success. We can learn from our disappointments and mistakes, because behind the failure there is something we have failed to understand, something we neglected to accept or face, or something we didn’t want to hear. When we choose to confront it, we are open to growth and learning. Today, I see life as a huge playground where there are many challenges and different games to play. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. When faced with adversity, think of a Q-tip.”                                                                                                           -Darlena Swann
