Go build something amazing!

There comes a point in your life
where you figure out what is really important and what really matters most.
Sometimes, this occurs because of some catastrophic or major incident.
Sometimes, it is just the inadvertent light bulb that goes off and illuminates the simplistic truth of life.
Either way, it is quite a revelation to conceive.
To realize that you have the ability, within your own self, to take charge of each day.
You allow how people will treat you.
You direct your path to destiny.
You are in charge of your feelings, your emotions, your actions, and your life.
It is yours to mold.
It thrills me to see that my children have grasped this eons before I did.
Wealth and riches and tangible ownership is dismissible.
Family, health, laughter, true friends, sense of purpose, and integrity . . . these are the mortar on which a solid life is built.
Go build something amazing!

Three Bones

To thrive in life you need three bones:


A wishbone  ~  to declare your faith in the good things that will come to you.
A backbone  ~  to stand up for yourself and the passions you are alive to.
A funny bone  ~  to remember to always be a little crazy. A little crazy is good!

God is Good

Before I left for a mini-vacation last Wednesday, I was tormented with a few issues that were out of my control and beyond my comprehension.
I had been praying that God direct me to a place I should be to be more focused on Him.
What better place than the North Florida woods?!
Nothing but chirping birds, mutant squirrels, wild turkeys, beautiful scenery, incredible people, and a heartwarming purpose.
Peace and serenity.
Laughter and silliness.
Far from the nonsense, the useless clutter of stupidity, the rats in the race.
I have come home, been to work, done chores and I must say that the prior issues are of little consequence these days. I have moved beyond them. I have seen that the issues are not mine to fix, finagle, or fuss over. That fun belongs to the owners of the issues.
I have been bathed in warmth, friendship, puppy love, and wonderful friends.
God is good.
Enjoy the day!

National Best Friends Day

Today is National Best Friends Day!
How terribly appropriate seeing as how I just got back from a wedding and a weekend of folks who have known each other for what seems like eons.
It is a beautiful thing to have a 'Best Friend'.
It is an extraordinary thing to have 'Best Friends' for decades and decades and to be able to cast off time and pick up like it was yesterday that you were all together.
It is an exceptional thing to marry your 'Best Friend'.
My weekend was full of all of those things.
It was a beautiful wedding filled with beautiful people and shared with my own personal 'Best Friend'.
I am a blessed and lucky person.
I hope that today . . . and every day . . . you are blessed with at least one Best Friend!

Just a thought . . .

If you attempt, every day, to treat every person you meet, work with, or live with with a positive attitude, love, and respect ~ imagine what the world might be like.
Just think . . . if each person you encountered continued on their journey in a happier and better mood . . . you literally just made the world a better place.
Every action, every word, every deed can make a difference.
Make it a positive one.

Rules to live by

Do what you can, from where you are, with what you have.
The smallest act of kindness is worth more
than the grandest of intentions.
Be sincere, be real and simply do the right thing.

LOVE

All you need is love.




That is all!
Have a nice day.
