Terribly Important

When you believe that you've tried everything,
done all you can,
claimed complete concession,
drained every ounce of energy,
are fatigued beyond belief,
when you have exhausted all possibilities,


remember this . . .


you haven't!

Ch-Angel Time

So every now and again, I get back to acknowledging the reason I started this blog.
I recognize those Ch-Angels, those people who make a real difference,
for simply existing and doing what comes naturally to them.
Today, I am giving a big shout out to my Ch-Angel LMR.


I have no idea what I did to deserve this bundle of energy and love,
but I'm sure thankful God stuck her in my path.
She has been an instant friend; a confidant; a supporter; a cohort; and just
fabulous company.
She's made work and life, in general, a thousand times more enjoyable.
She's shared from her heart; ranted from the depths; and boy have we laughed.


When counting my blessings,
I count my Ch-Angel LMR several times.
Thank you!

Travel Well

From Beverly Sills:


"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going."


Meaning . . . ?


To me, sometimes the journey may seem like you
ought to receive hazard pay,
but the view from the apex is breathtaking.
Life's journey is not always smooth.
It is filled with potholes and mountains and desserts and storms.
But each of those, in their own right,
is a lesson, an expedition, a voyage.


Take advantage of whatever is in your path.
There is beauty in every thing.
Lessons in every outing.


Enjoy the trip!
Travel Well!

Pencil

Who'da thunk?
Bon Jovi came up with this little marvel . . .


"Map out your future,
but do it in pencil."


I absolutely LOVE this!
Get your pencil.

Thrilled to have a drink!

Some folks whine because roses have thorns.
I am thrilled that thorns have roses.


Some folks complain about the afternoon deluges.
I revel in the morning sunshine and the evening light show.


Some folks whimper with every ache and pain.
I am thankful that I am able to feel each one.


Some folks grumble about work, work, work.
I am pretty grateful that I have a job.


Some folks are dismayed at the aging process.
I am blessed for being gifted another day.


How will you face your time here?


Half Empty?
Half Full?
Thrilled to have a drink!

Memorial Day

A day to reflect and remember and celebrate
those who have chosen to take up arms and stand up for our freedom.
A day to acknowledge those brave souls
who chose honor and country before themselves.
A day to respectfully and reverently recognize
so many for their sacrifices of time, health, and even more.
And to those that continue to do so.


God Bless You!
Thank You!
