My Mission Statement: Don't treat your day's activities as if they were a triathlon, ripping and running from activity to activity. Don't get caught up with "What is next", but instead focus on the activity at hand and enjoy it's complete moments. Remember the un rushed times you spend with friends and family can never be replaced with all the chores,things to do and treasures of the world.
Never under estimate what you can do today. God has a propensity for using ordinary people seemingly without the tools & talents to do miraculous things.
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

have no concept of being as such. I just hope that when it is my time that I'll have a sense of fulfillment, and no fear of it. Chris Sharp
If you take your eyes off of your goal, you see the obstacles.
"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
"When you are taken down into deep, deep waters and come face to face with seemly insurmountable adversity do you give up or continue to swim and not get wet."
"You were born an original. But it's up to you to live that way. When's the last time you did something for the first time?"
When we walk or run towards our dreams with persistence, the future often surprises us with unexpected Miracles................
Invictus:
It matters not how strait the gate,/How charged with punishments the scroll,/I am the master of my fate:/I am the captain of my soul.
Those who don't write their own plays become props in someone else's.
Dear Lord, Today Those who JUMP to conclusions many times...... LAND on assumptions! Stay BLESSED Everyone !!!

Beauty is all around us. The greatest and most touching beauty is not found in dramatic vistas or in the facades of monumental buildings. It is contained in the smiles and laughter of those we love, in the sound of their voices, in those poignant moments that cannot be described with mere words. Beauty is where you find it.
Brad Holway
Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new. Life is an never ending adventure with unlimited positive and pleasant surprises if you will leave your comfort zones and takes risks... Cliff DePass
The Soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind. --- Caroline Myss
