The Irish always seem to know just what to say. I love this quote. It’s a blessing for peace and gentle seas and the last line just makes me smile “may it always be the other guy who says this drink’s on me”. Too funny. I love it! May you have a great St. Patrick’s Day this year. We will be celebrating in Switzerland.
“May the winds of fortune sail you, may you sail a gentle sea, may it always be the other guy who says this drink’s on me.”

Loving someone means that you care about their happiness. Seeing them happy makes you happy. It’s about lifting each other up! Whether it’s your spouse, your partner, your friend, or another family member caring about them and their happiness is essential to yours.
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Deeds, what you do, and how you act are more important than the words you say. Show your partner how much you love them and care for them in your actions not just in your words.
Love is shown more in deeds than in words.

We are all unique in the way we love and express love. We have many different relationships with many different people and there are as many different kinds of love. Let’s take this month of February to express our love for each other.
I think… if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.

We all have choices to make. Maybe we have made some wrong decisions in the past. Maybe we have felt lost and didn’t know where to turn. But remember you can start now and make any change for you. Make a new ending to your life’s story.

Change. It’s inevitable. Things happen. Circumstances change. We change. Our friends change. Our lives change. Yes, it can be scary, but this year let’s work to embrace change and let’s control our reactions to our changing circumstances.
“Change can be scary, but you know what’s scarier? Allowing fear to stop you from growing, evolving, and progressing.”

I hope we all realize whatever life we are living that we can make changes. If you are proud of it and what you have accomplished then continue living your best life. I hope you live with kindness and compassion. I hope you feel happy. If things are difficult and you are not leading the life you wanted then I hope you find the strength and inspiration to start again and become who you want to be. It’s never too late.
“It’s never too late to become who you want to be. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.”

It is hard to take the leap of faith and make changes in your life, whether it be in your marriage, your career, your location, or your day-to-day activities. We get so caught up in routine that we don’t think we can change anything. Or we feel we HAVE to do things a certain way. Although it’s hard and it’s scary, you need to search deep within yourself. What do you want and how can you get there? What conversations do you need to have? What actions do you need to take? You have the power to change the direction of your life.
“Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.”

As we start this new year let us remember we don’t need to stay where we are. If we are unhappy with our present circumstances we just need to change our mindset and figure out a plan to get where we want to be.
Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go. They merely determine where you start.”
