. . . and at times when it’s tough to remember, try to think of these three things.
Be Thankful.
Be Grateful.
Be Blessed.
I am thankful, grateful and blessed to have you all in my life.

Staying Strong!
I’ve had a lot of things going on recently, mostly unpleasant and highly irritating. Tough to be in that position of hearing all the anger and negativity in people you thought you knew. Even tougher when that anger and negativity is directed toward you.
Staying strong in the face of such adversity isn’t easy, but it is doable. Staying strong for yourself and your future is so important. Staying strong despite the “Negative Nellies” chomping at your heels is a test of your fortitude.
Being true to yourself, being a warrior, offering up prayers so you can move those mountains – learning who the true friends are and thanking God for them every day. But most of all staying strong and true to yourself.
Like the running back carrying the ball, hurdling tacklers and stiff-arming defenders along his way to the end zone – he has an ultimate goal in mind, and will move mountains to get there.
And so will I . . . . and so can you.
As The Holidays Approach – Some Good Thoughts!
Whether you’re ready for them or not, the retail establishment has gotten ready for them! What’s that you say? “The Holidaze”!! When I read my friend’s blog about being “prepared”, it made so much sense that I had to share.
This will be a leaner Christmas for me this year – by choice. And no – I wish I meant my waistline, LOL!! It’s time for me to remember the “reason for the season” and make some cut backs. Well . . . OK, maybe not for the Grandkids, but for years I’ve gone a bit overboard just because I love giving.
Maybe it’s time to give more of “myself”, than purchased products to wrap and deliver. It won’t be an easy transition, because I love coming up with surprise gifts that aren’t on the “wish list”. I love wrapping, and tagging, and arranging under the tree till there are so many boxes you have a hard time walking around them to get to the back door.
Whatever the holidaze bring to you and yours, please enjoy the shared link below with some really great ideas! And may this festive time of the year bring you closer to those you love and cherish.
