SNOW FLAKES


well I was a little surprised by the white stuff on the ground this morning ..pleasant surprise naturally...layla the one year old puppy full of energy and joy could not wait to run through the snow...beyond cute as you could only imagine...maggie the veteran made a quick turn-around to the warmth of the house....had to pick the old gal up and bring her out ....somewhat successful operation at best.....still marvel that no two snowflakes are alike....similar to people and the way we handle stress and adversity in our lives......i mean with everything that is being said in newspapers and tv about the state of the world and the economy it just goes to show what i have been saying all along ...we forget that we should not be defined by how much money we owe...how many toys we have.....how great is our credit rating .....but who we are and the impact we make on this world......i do not know about any of you but the human race seems to be getting a little ornery to deal with ..nobody is smiling ( even the ones that have jobs).....there seems to be love lacking in the world......ok here is a holiday challenge for all.... make an effort to spread some joy.....smile upon the less fortunate.....make your mark on this planet...be remembered as someone who rose to the occasion and made a difference.....REMEMBER THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE WHO IS LESS FORTUNATE THAT YOU ......so in the words of CHER.."SNAP OUT OF IT" better times are coming...................................

count-down to 2009 has begun....

You always know the right thing to say! I accept your challenge and hope others will too. There's far too little laughter and smiles in the world today. Love to you and the family for a remarkable Christmas and an outstanding New Year!!! See you at the Beacon in March!
