Wow, its May already how the days fly. Do you remember when you were a kid in grade school, the best time of the day was getting off the school bus, talking with your friends and rushing outside after dinner. Wow those were the days huh? We would count down the days till the end of school, how cool was that. The teachers even counted the days down. They were just as ready as us for summer. That feeling is going on in every school across America!
When you go outside Saturday take it all in. Summer is around the bend, you can smell the fresh cut grass and hear the lawn mower’s off in the distance. Another great thing about summer, cooking out on the grill, charcoal or gas it does not matter, just the sound of a sizzling burger or the steak and mushrooms aroma coming out from the grill lid. Mmmmm… Summer is just around the bend.
The impending smell of flowers blooming, and fresh veggies from the garden and the sound of kids in a nearby pool
Are you smiling yet?
How blessed we all are to have the freedom that we all enjoy in this country. The freedom to speak, to have an opinion and to march for a cause in peaceful protest.
Yes, times are tough but if we just take the moment to share with each other the things we have, the moments we have had and the future we can look forward to.
Hope is always alive, my friend and if you can just take a moment to reflect on what our prior generations went through. What great minds have taken us from the depths of sorrow and pain.
We have very strong roots in this country and even in our own families. So we all have stories or memories we can dwell on to pull out our own smile. We all have the mind and the memories to pull from to generate a smile. All we really need is to do it. So just smile, even in the toughest moments when you find it hard to smile, remember the moments that matter most.
For those who have pets, they are a 24 hour a day smile maker.
For those who have kids, remember the moment they first looked up to you.
For those who have partners, the first time you said the ” I love you” and kissed, don’t forget that.
For those who have parents yet alive, cherish the moments they took the time to correct you, its the greatest sign of love.
For those who have no problems with your smile, share it with another and another, and yet another. You have the greatest gift of all, the smile.
Power Action Thought for today — Number 22 Take the time, no make the time to remember the moments that made you smile and go back and reflect.
Time, we all have time and even when we don’t, make the time to share a smile! Make a difference today! Give a smile to someone who misplaced theirs.
Till then have a great month of May and smile!! :)
