If all else fails, hug your dog – or kitty.

I think it is good to be in the moment. The universe is so vast and we are so tiny. Continuing to cultivate good energy is the only way to be of any use in life. Negative energy, being miserable — that is time-consuming and silly. — Leighton Meester, actress

Here is a wonderful quote from Ann Romney on mothers. Again, happy Mother’s Day.

Cherish your mothers.
The ones who wiped your tears,
who were at every ball game or ballet recital.
The ones who believed in you,
even when nobody else did,
even when maybe you didn’t believe in yourself.
Women wear many hats in their lives.
Daughter, sister, student, breadwinner.
But no matter where we are or what we’re doing,
one hat that moms never take off is the crown of motherhood.
- Ann Romney
