Imagine

This was actually written regarding your pet . . .


He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.


but imagine if we actually applied this to other human beings.


Just imagine

Wings

When you are pushed to the edge . . . jump!
God will either catch you or teach you to use your wings!
You were born with such amazing potential.
You were born with goodness and trust and talent and greatness.
You were born with wings.
Soar!

Revenge

is truly a waste of time.
It only serves to fritter away your efforts on something or someone who adds no value to your life.
Instead . . . live! Be happy! Enjoy yourself!


Focus your intentions and your endeavors on something positive and productive.
You'll be amazed at all the good that comes of it.
You'll realize that that thing or that person really has no control over you.
You'll figure out that pointing your shoes in a different direction will take you places you never imagined.
You'll understand that YOU are in charge of how you feel. No one else.
And . . . you'll be in awe of how doing good can change your whole world.


Leave your baggage at the door.
Find your happy place and go live.
Revenge is NOT a dish best served cold.
It is a dish best left burnt and in the trash.
NEXT!

What you sow . . .

A tree is known by its fruit;
a man by his deeds.
A good deed is never lost.
He who sows courtesy reaps friendship;
and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Some will grumble that roses have thorns.
I am thankful that thorns have roses.


Make the world what YOU need it to be.

Free at last

I will always try, with all I am, to see the positive in all things.
Yesterday, a young girl lost her battle with a horrible disease.
She fought for a long time.
She suffered much.
She brought a harsh reality to many folks whose children are battling the same disease.
It was a sad day.
And we will mourn the loss of Kennedy.
But we must also celebrate the life of Kennedy.
Hers was a life that was full of triumphs as well as battles.
Victories as well as setbacks.
Laughter as well as tears.
She touched many lives and continues to do so.
Take with you her spirit,
her joy,
her smile,
her enthusiasm.
She is in a far better place right now.
No more pain. No more prodding. No more poking.
She is free.
Free at last.

Because of the Brave!


Celebrating Memorial Day is not only an honor, it is a privilege.


Today we take a moment to remember all those souls who gave the ultimate sacrifice
in the name of freedom and for the sake of The United States of America.
We pay homage to the veterans and those that don the uniforms today.
We look with pride upon our flag knowing that it is stitched together with the very fabric of all those lives that came before us to maintain what we enjoy so frivolously.


Today, enjoy your bbq,
enjoy your backyard pool,
enjoy your day off
and your ability to be able to enjoy those things.
And find a way, today,
to thank a veteran;
to honor a fallen hero;
to thank those that are currently serving.


Their choice was not made lightly.
Their task is not easy.
Their efforts are for YOU!


Happy Memorial Day!

Go get it.

Life is a curious thing.
It does not always go the way we plan.
That does not mean it is bad.
It just means we need to alter our plan.
Your new journey is as grand as you choose to make it.
Why continue to look backward?
Your past is behind you for a reason.
Your future holds infinite possibilities and opportunities.
You need only let go of your fears and your angst
and move forward.
What lies in wait is amazing.
Go get it.
