A nice day is expected weather wise. The temperature should get to a high of 80 and low of 69 degrees. No rain predicted for my neighborhood. Yes, I still have to water those plants outside.
Today's quote is "Being in a good frame of mind helps keep one in the picture of health." Author unknown.
This quote is perfect for me because with all the things that I need to accomplish, I need to be in a good frame of mind and I do need to stay healthy.
Yes, I already prepared a "to do" list and am challenging myself to do it all!

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Most people never..."
Some people have suggested to me that I write my quotes for a week and set a timer to post the blog on a daily basis. I prefer to take the time each day and write the blog. This is a commitment that requires dedication as well time management skills. As I mentioned previously, my goal is to write a quote everyday for a year.
Today's quote is "Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you." Author William James.
This is a great quote for entrepreneurs!
Where is my energy for my "first wind"? I've only used up a little and have lots more to go. I would love to get my "second wind". When I do, then I will know that I have been a success.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Religions are all..."
Do I need to pray for some rain? How about do a rain dance? The rain does not want to fall in my neighborhood and shower my plants!
Today's quote is "Religions are all alike - founded on fables and mythologies." Author Thomas Jefferson.
When you are exposed to a multicultural environment, the things you learn about other people's religion is amazing. There are many similarities among all the faiths. So yes, I agree with the quote.
A few months ago, I attend a christian church service and was touched by the sermon given. Most of the sermons I heard in past were focused on a few topics, but this particular one had me thinking "what happened next". It was refreshing to hear something new!

Diantie's Daily Quote - "There are those who..."
In my religion, it's been said many times, that you should give without expectation of receiving something in return.
Today's quote is "There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward." Author Kahlil Gibran.
Today's quote is "There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward." Author Kahlil Gibran.
I think I will stick with giving without expectation regardless of the circumstances!
Still no rain and the plants were not watered yesterday! OK, I give water to the plants and I expect them to grow healthy.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Happiness is a way..."
Nice sunshine day today and I am still waiting for those showers of rain to come pouring down and it has not happened as yet. That means I have to keep watering those plants if I want to reap a harvest.
Today's quote is "Happiness is a way station between too much and too little." Author Channing Pollock.
Yes, this sounds like contentment to me and that is a wonderful feeling.
I say find that way station soon so that you can experience the joy of happiness.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Spending quiet time..."
We all need quiet time and our "space" to think and function.
Today's quote is "Spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order." Author Susan Taylor.
Most avid problem solvers would agree with this quote and I do too. Over the past few weeks, I have been pondering over certain things I need to get done. Why a few weeks? Because I needed to do a thorough research before making a final decision. Am I ready now? I am better prepared to ask the right questions and I feel empowered with my new found knowledge.
There is nothing wrong with taking a time-out or time off to rejuvenate your mind. That is why a vacation is highly recommended and sometimes enforced by companies.
Did you give yourself a time-out today? I will!

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Happiness and sadness..."
More happy related quotes. Today is predicted to be a nice sunshine day. Remember "Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy." (John Denver's Song). And yes, I want some showers of rain as well and that is expected too.
Today's quote is "Happiness and sadness run parallel to each other. When one takes a rest, the other one tends to take up the slack." Author Hazelmarie Elliott (Marie).
Very true and well thought words. Think about it. You are either happy or you are sad.
Yes, I took a look at the pictures from the Chelsea Clinton's wedding yesterday. She looks so happy and fabulous. I like the photo that most of news stations have been showing of the happy couple.
