In my quest for a richer, more meaningful, productive life, I will ask myself --</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Does this serve God, my family, friends and community?</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Will this improve or strengthen my relationship with God, my family, friends and/or dogs?</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Will this improve or benefit my health and well-being and that of my family, friends and/or dogs?</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Will this create or support a loving, nurturing, joyful environment for me and my family?</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Will this provide inspiration, focus and time for writing and other creative endeavors?</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Will this eliminate stress and help me to be a happier, healthier, more whole wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend?</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Will this lead me closer to the accomplishment of my dreams in regards to working with/helping animals, writing and acting?</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">If I can honestly answer 'yes' to at least four of these questions regarding a decision, I can do it. If not, I will say 'no' and reevaluate it another time. Let's see how it changes my life and the lives of those around me!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /></span><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"></span>Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07296794498771496242noreply@blogger.com
