It was a true pleasure to receive this award from such a talented and stylish blogger. If you're not already familiar with Haus Design and Barbara's on-line boutique Linen Haus, be sure to stop by for a visit.

In keeping with Barbara's unique idea, rather than sharing 5 things about myself, I've decided to share five of my favorite quotes that inspire me to be a better person, each and every day:

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.
~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

People will forget what you said.  People will forget what you did.  But people will never forget how you made them feel.
~ Anonymous

The happiest people don't have the best of everything.  They make the best of everything they have.
~ Anonymous

Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.
~ Chang-Tzu

Thank you to ALL of my readers for making 2011 an amazing year!

Wishing You And Yours a Happy & Healthy 2012!
