Oh My Goodness!

Saw this yesterday after work
and about fell off the couch.

Often times we are looking 

for earth-shattering or colossal ...

Sometimes,

miracles are

just good people

with kind hearts.

It is extraordinary

what can emerge

from decency.

Have a great day!

Words to Blume by

From one Miss Judy ...

Our fingerprints

do not fade

from the lives

we touch.

What marks

will you be leaving???

Secrets

Here are a few secrets I've learned
over the past seeming 100 years of life ...

You can't jump on every bandwagon that passes by.

Pretty soon you'll end up someplace you don't want to be.

If you don't like what you hear, do some research.

Ask questions. Go to the source. Find the truth.

Don't ever follow anyone or anything blindly ~

(except God and the Bible) ~

be your own best source

of information and intelligence.

Be willing to stand up and stand out.

You were never meant to be ordinary.

Be wary of instant anything.

There is nothing more powerful

than hard work and dedication.

Feel free to add some tidbits.

I'd love to hear what you've learned ...

New

Even at the end of the week ...

New day

New thoughts

New possibilities

New opportunities

New strengths

New ideas

New doors

New ways

New you

Your failures do not contain you

Your past does not define you

You can do this ...

YOU

For those that may feel a little lost,
or unworthy, or unimportant ...

How cool is it

that the same God

who created mountains

and oceans and galaxies,

looked around and thought ...

the world needs one of

YOU!

You have reason and purpose,

import and significance.

You matter.

You are necessary.

Strength

Booker T Washington gave us this gem ...
and what a gem it is!

There are two ways

of exerting one's strength:

one is pushing down,

the other is pulling up.

Make good choices, peeps.

Today

Today,
in the midst of my own chaos,

there is light and lifting.

When we pay attention,

we can find the detours,

the opportunities, the gifts

that buoy us in our troubled waters.

Look what today is ...

I Want You To Be Happy Day

I do.
