The act of getting strong doesn't start in the gym, it starts in your head. You will be amazed at what you attract after you start believing in what you deserve. God gave you a fingerprint that no one else has, so you can leave an imprint that no one else can. Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong. Only fools let compliments get to their head and criticism get to their heart. Nothing will bring you greater peace than minding your own business. The phrase "do not be afraid" is written in the bible 365 times. That's a daily reminder from God to live every day being fearless.  May you make this New Day a Happy Day 01/27/2023

Furry Friends Friday - Prim & Proper Gracie RoseWhile she may appear to be snooty, she's quite the sweetie! She reminds me of my great-grandmother, who I remember very well. She was statuesque, very prim & proper but, 'behind closed doors,' she had a heart of gold and was one of the sweetest women I've ever known. Our sweet Gracie is cuddly - mostly when she wants to be. She certainly portrays the ruling kitty with a tough exterior & cold heart...until you call her name. Then she melts!Happy Friday everyone!  © Debe Maxwell, CRS | The Maxwell House Group | RE/MAX Executive | SavvyBroker@me.com | Furry Friends Friday - Prim & Proper Gracie Rose 01/27/2023
