Some quotes that help me on bad days!

Infertility has a way of sneaking up on you. One day you'll be perfectly fine, happy and optimistic...then the next day, something so tiny can happen and the whole day is ruined. Infertility is just so unpredictable! It's amazing how I have found that some "baby" comments won't upset me at all, but then others push me over the edge. I've collected some quotes that make me feel better, and I'm going to print them and paste them around my house and work. I’m going to try and read them daily to remind myself of what's important, that I can make it through and that I will be stronger because of these challenges I’ve been given. Today is a bad day and a few of these quotes honestly put me in a better mood. I thought I would share them, so maybe they will help someone else too!

Life's little annoyances can quickly add up to have a big negative and destructive impact if you let them. Fortunately, you don't have to let them. Instead, you can choose to let them go. You can decide to see the small, relatively meaningless annoyances for what they are, and move quickly beyond them.

Do you really want your attitude to be held hostage by rude, careless, inconsiderate people or random events beyond your control? Of course not, because within you is a positive purpose that is big and beautiful and filled with real meaning.

One of my main regrets in life is giving considerable thought to inconsiderate people.
― Jarod Kintz
