Thankful Thursday

A good friend of mine, T. Rose, shared the most beautiful quote with me. I thought it was perfect for a Thankful Thursday post.

"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."


It's true - attitude is everything.

p.s. His last name really is Rose. How appropriate is that?

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog! I hope you come back often! I love your blog! And, that quote is beautiful.
Thank you, too, your kids are adorable!
BTW...I pronounce mine like the regular spelling...{Carrie} I was named after my great-great-grandmother Carrie, my mom just wanted to spell it differently.
{NOT THAT YOU ASKED OR ANYTHING...}
I cannot wait to read some more of your blog!

GAH, how I needed to hear exactly that, right this moment. Are you psychic?

Kim said...

I really like that quote. I agree that being happy is a choice we can make every moment.

That's very true. But those flowers are beautiful. Are they roses or rosehips?

Very half full vs half empty. I try to be on the half full side...but it's not always easy. Beautiful flowers!

The rose picture is beautiful! Great for thankful thursday. I like the "Tub" at the grandparents. Looks like a fun and relaxing home to visit with the kids.

I've heard that before - it's lovely. We had our first sunny day of spring today, so I was definitely feeling the roses.
