I think we can all agree that some choices we make in our younger days can be less than right. Some choices are definitely worse than others, but I think we all make mistakes, and that is what makes us human beings. I have shared on the blog before that my past life was... a
mess, for lack of better words.
What keeps me going now? My family, my furry family, my blog, my life. When I share my weekly graphic creations with you guys, some of you may not know, I am sort of sharing my personal thoughts in my creations. I choose the quotes that I use very carefully, and in one way or another, they always reflect something in my life, always things I know others can relate to as well.
Anyways, I have two graphic creations for you today, which reflect on me greatly, and tie in well with bringing in the new year. Hope you enjoy!
My favorite quote out of these two, and the one that hits home most, is definitely the second one. Sure, we can't change the past, and to be honest, i'm not sure how much I would change anyways... but one thing we can do, is make a brand new ending to our life stories.

Those are beautiful quotes and I like the second one best, too. I always love your graphics!
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to having a hard past. <3 ~Hugs~ Sometimes the only reason I get out of bed is because my dogs need me.
I totally understand. If it wasn't for my family (furry included) I don't know where i'd be!
DeleteThey are great quotes. We can't change what we've done, only learn from it.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for this year!
Exactly! Thanks Clowie!
DeleteBoth very good quotes...but I,too, prefer the second one! Hope all is going well with your new endeavor!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanne! All is well! Super busy getting everything ready at the moment, thanks for asking!
DeleteWhat a lovely quote. Every day is a new beginning. Good luck with life this year.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are so right! Thanks!
DeleteGreat quotes, but we like the second one the best. My mom had some tough times I've heard, but it was way before I was born. She came out of it and made a fresh start, then we also had to make a fresh start when we moved back to the US from Germany. Lots of tough times but everything that happens in life shapes your being and makes you who you are today. As long as you know you can make a fresh start, you will be fine.
ReplyDeleteI agree. If it wasn't for our past, we wouldn't be who we are today.
DeleteI love the idea of a brand new ending. Lots of things in my past I wish I could change. One of my goals for this year is to let go all of that and just move forward.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge one, and I sure hope you can achieve it! There are still things in my past which I cannot seem to let go of too, so I definitely understand where your coming from.
DeleteThose are wonderful quotes. Dwelling on the past can be all consuming. I like the idea of starting fresh.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right!
DeleteLearning from the past is helpful, dwelling on the past is more often hurtful, especially when it keeps us from fully participating in the present.
ReplyDeleteHow's that for a penny's worth of philosophy? ;-)
ohhhh, very deep!
DeleteBeautiful quotes and both are absolutely true!
ReplyDeleteThanks pal!
DeleteExcellent quotes.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteMy past life was a mess too. I've always believed that living through those messes only make us stronger!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more!!
DeleteI love both of those quotes. I hated my past (20 years + below) but it brought me to where I am so I wouldn't change it either. I'd definitely would not wish to relive it though! LOL! It is the reason for my serenity tattoo. It is my personal mantra that I can always look at my wrist and read. You are going to have a fabulous 2016! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh I definitely understand! See, if I was to change my past, I may not have my daughters or husband, or anything that I have today. I love your wrist tattoo BTW!
DeleteGreat quotes! You know what they say; your past is what got you where you are.
ReplyDelete100% correct!
DeleteI love your energy! Yes, let's just start this year with a brand new BLANK canvas shall we?
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Lets do that!
DeleteI especially love the second quote too. I think most of us spend way too much time looking backwards and not enough time living in the moment or creating our future. Congrats on the news about your new store too, what an exciting way to start off the new year!
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right!
DeleteAnd thanks very much!
Thank you for sharing those pawsome quotes!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome!
DeleteI agree with Saved By Dogs, and love your graphics and quotes! How inspirational!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThose are both beautiful, Jenna, you have obviously come a long, long way. I made A LOT of mistakes when I was younger, but I always figure everything I did then led me to where I am today....and that is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteJan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
I agree 100%
DeleteHappy new year!
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes :-)
Thanks Misaki! And you too!
DeleteAs Mom always tells the grands, today is the first day of the rest of your life, so why not make it even better than yesterday? Great graphics and quotes - definitely applicable to all of us.

DeleteI love quotes!! Hope you are having a nice day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I sure am! Hope you are too!
DeleteThose are excellent quotes...definitely words to live by.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteMy CURRENT life is a mess :) so I truly appreciate these quotes. You always seem to have it all together...I have always felt you were wise beyond your years. I never, ever knew.........you are a remarkable woman xoxoxo DakotasDen
ReplyDeleteAw wow, thanks for the huge compliment. I have to say, i'm not sure if I have ever had everything together in my life!!! Although in the past few years.... things have really started coming together, which is well well needed for me and my family. I am always here if you need to chat! xxoo
DeleteI love the second one!
ReplyDeleteThanks! me too!
DeleteJust love the quotes and graphics, you pick the most wonderful quotes.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I choose them carefully!
DeleteBoth of these quotes are great! I'm glad that you have found a way to make your life better. It is amazing how much pets can help! My life has been crazy too - and in many ways still is. Every moment is another chance to try again. :)
ReplyDelete-Purrs from your friends at www.PlayfulKitty.net
I agree 100%!
DeleteThanks!
A new year is like opening up a crisp, new notepad filled with blank pages to fill! Enjoy, and here's to a happy, healthy 2016 filled with new memories and fond experiences!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorothy. Wishing you the very same!
DeleteI really love that second quote. Every day truly is a Brand New Today!
ReplyDeleteLove & biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Yes, it definitely is!

ReplyDeleteRight now you’re probably reading this message because you’re desperate to finally learn how to not only train your dog quickly and effectively, but you also don’t want to have to spend a huge chunk of cash on professional dog trainers or read yet another dog training book that doesn’t get you results.
Don’t worry, you’re NOT alone in your frustration!
