IF NOT YOU, WHO? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 93

We all like to receive compliments and praise from others.  Parents, older siblings, grandparents, teachers, and friends can all build us up so that we feel much more capable and confident in our abilities.  When we enter the work force our superiors and colleagues can make us feel good about our contributions and the quality of our work.

What happens though if we don't have a supportive family or a large family?  What if we are shy and find it not so easy to make lots of friends.  What if our job is with people who are not generous with encouragement and praise?

Then we just have to do it ourselves.  In truth we know when we have done something well.  We are totally aware when we do the right thing.  We recognize when we meet challenges.  So if no one else is paying tribute to us, then we must do it ourselves.  I can do it if need be, and so can you.

Today's message is:

BUILD MYSELF UP!

Fall Weather Means Cooler Kitchens For Great Meals

Today I received a delicious recipe for Saturday Potato/Bacon Soup from www.grandparents.com. If you have not checked out their website, do yourself a favor and take a look. Even though the site is intended for those who have grandchildren, as a mother I can tell you the site has lots of good advice, good ideas, ways to entertain children, and now regular recipes sure to encourage children to eat well. Before we know it temperatures will drop, daylight savings time will revert back to standard time in a few weeks, and since cooking at home is less expensive than eating out why not try some new recipes. I cannot wait to make a huge pot of Saturday Potato/Bacon Soup to share with my family and neighbors.
