Adelaide's list...

In one of my old journals I came across this piece of things I thought very important to embrace on the journey of my life, and somehow, I hope you may be blessed by these too, especially in these times, so I shall share them.  May these be a blessing to all...

Accept others as they are.
Embrace the courage to be yourself.
Have a gratitude attitude, because there are always things to be grateful for no matter how challenging life can become.
Hold onto faith.
Laughter is important so keep a sense of humor.
Cherish music.
Pour kindness out.  Everyone and everything 
need it.
Keep yourself inspired.
Live love, for the love we live remains after we 
are gone.
Always seek wisdom and learning.
Be creative.
Embrace enthusiasm.
Have aplomb.
Always smile at others.
Know you are free to give love and accept love.
Be aware for there are gifts of beauty and goodness to be found everywhere.
Cherish nature.
Embrace wonder.
Hold fast to your dreams.
Remember you are special even when you don't feel it.
Keep your head held high.
Embrace courage.
Never give up.
Hold onto hope tightly.
Forever soar on the backs of horses.
