My precious Momma in her younger days.

I miss you deeply. I feel you around me and truly believe you are watching over me. It warms my heart to look at your photos and talk to you. Today I know you are enjoying your strawberry sundae that you just loved. It makes me happy to know you and Dad are together now. Thank-you for being a special Mom.

Happy Birthday Mommy.

I love you so much~ Your baby girl.

God is Missing

A smile to share with you all.

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he  would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.

The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Do you know where God is, son?”

The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?!

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.

The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, “WHERE IS GOD?!”

The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?”

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time!”

“GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!”

Laughter is good for the Soul~

I hope this made you smile. Another email shared with me from my sister-in-law. Thanks Jude.

Kindness is so important to me and it is easy for me to share kind thoughts and kind gestures throughout my day.

It works for me and it comes back to me in so many ways.

I am a grateful lady.

I enjoyed some stair climbing this morning and a 2 mile run.

Have your self a wonderful Sunday and do the best you can with just “being kind”~

Do You Make Time?

 I don’t find the time to exercise,

I make the time to exercise.

My gym workout is done and I do feel better than when I left home.

I hope you too can find time for yourself.

Exercise in the Morning Before Your Brain Figures Out What You’re Doing~

Morning fitness works best for me. Who knows! Maybe it is because My brain hasn’t figured out what I am doing at the gym at 6:00 a.m.

You Are Always Stronger Than You Think You Are.

Always remember you are never to old to do some kind of fitness. If you are new to exercising, talk it over with your doctor before starting any kind of program. Have a terrific day and I hope the sun is shining in your world.~

Sunny Moods Are Real

What if you could effortlessly feel more relaxed, sleep more soundly and think more clearly?

Sounds like a dream?

It isn’t!

Study after study proves you can do all that-and more!-just by stepping outside!

Soaking up some sun

gives you a hefty

dose of mood-lifting vitamin D,

slashing your risk of depression up to 85%.

Ten Commandments of Human Relations

1. Speak to People-there is nothing so nice as a cheerful word of greeting.

2. Smile at People-it takes 72 muscles to frown, only 14 to smile.

3. Call People-the sweetest music to anyone’s ears is the sound of his own name.

4. Be Friendly-and helpful, if you would have friends, be a friend.

5. Be Cordial-speak and act as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure.

6. Be Genuinely interested in people-you can like almost everybody if you try.

7. Be Generous with praise-cautious with criticism.

8. Be Considerate with feelings of others-there are usually three sides to a controversy: yours, the other fellow’s, and the right side.

9. Be Alert to give service-what counts most in life is what we do for others.

10.Add to this a good sense of humour, a big dose of patience and a dash of humility, and you will be rewarded many-fold.

A Sense of Exhilaration

“There is a sense of exhilaration that comes from facing head-on the hard truths and saying, ‘We will never give up. We will never capitulate. It might take a long time, but we will find a way to prevail.’”
– Jim Collins
