Perception
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
~Norman Vincent Peale
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

It is true for me…90% reaction. Sigh! Gotta change my thinking haha!

It’s definitely challenging. But, you can do it, Garfield! 🙂💛 I’ve found that when I react negatively to a situation, I’m giving away my peace and joy. I just won’t do that anymore.

perception may be can be dealt with (hard). Changing reaction is even harder 😦
If I can add here, one of my favorite quotes is “If you think you can, or you think you can not, you are right”.
🙂
Cheers, Tonya!

I completely agree. Changing reaction can be so difficult. I think mindfulness helps….and maybe a glass of wine. 😉🍷
That’s an excellent quote and very true. Thank you for sharing it, Anatoli. 🙂
