Whenever I head out on my next trip, I always wear my themed #socks. There’s something about the playful patterns and colors that make it a little easier to deal with #airports and #TSA and grumpy travelers. . What are your secrets for keeping your spirits up in tougher times? What little things do you do that spark joy? . #travelingman #roadwarrior #hittheroad #funsocks #socksofinstagram #jockeysocks #authorsofinstagram #author #writersofinstagram #writer #traveler #ONT #California #wednesdaywisdom
I’m having #oneofthosedays. It’s #Monday, so of course it hits harder. Trying to refocus my mind and heart on those positive things that bring me joy and make me feel complete! What’s your #MondayMotivation? How are you getting through today? . . #mondays #writer #author #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #california #lakeelsinore #officelife #workday
We were at #WaltDisneyWorld last week and when we got home we realized that, unlike every other year, we didn’t have to wait to get our #Disney on. So we went to #Disneyland and kept the magic going. . When you choose to give up one thing for something different, it may be tough. It can be difficult, and a year ago we were in the throes of our big move and change. There were a lot of unknowns—but we did know that there was magic around the corner and memories to be made! . What could you give up today to find something that might be even better tomorrow? What is holding you back? . . #sundayfunday #makingmemories #disneygram #disneylandresort #californiaadventure #california #anaheim #disney #californialove #calilife #sunshinestate #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #author #writer #dadlife
"Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have a child's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought." - Walt Disney . This sums up so much of my philosophy of life, why our family spends so much time at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and why we’ve focused on creating memories over having things! . What about you? How do you keep young? What simple things keep your heart happy and content? . #peterpan #nevergrowup #contentment #waltdisney #disneyland #waltdisneyworld #disneygram #disneyside #saturdayvibes #disneylife #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writer #author #orlando #florida #waltdisneyworldresort #disneyparks
What are you thankful for today?
Were you wounded by someone? Have people you trusted hurt you? Yes, it sucks. It’s hard not to look back and wonder how you missed it, what might have been different. It can be tough not to wallow in “what-ifs” and wishes for their comeuppance. But what does that get us? . Today, let’s make an effort to learn from Rafiki. The past may be hard. It may have so many hurts that you don’t know how to move forward and you’re not sure if you can trust again. . So let’s not stay in the past nursing it, regretting things, and always looking backwards. Know it happened, learn what God may have to teach you, and move into the future He has planned for you! Let’s do this, together. We will be blown away by all that lies ahead! . #letgo #lifeadvice #fridaymotivation #forgetthepast #moveon #lionking #rafiki #simba #disneygram #disneyquote #filmquotes #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writer #author
