A Wish on Wednesday ~ 06/30/10

A wonderful Wednesday to you all and I hope you enjoy the last day of June 2010!  A time to reflect on the month gone by and enjoy your plans for July.  The Fourth of July is right around the corner and a great time for family, cookouts and fireworks!  Don't forget the true meaning of the Fourth of July and the freedom we enjoy thanks to the brave women and men in the armed forces serving both home and abroad.

A Wish for Wednesday is what I like to share with you each week on this day and today is no exception.  My wish for today is that we can become united and aligned with the power of one.

The power of one some quotes:

The power of one man or one woman doing the right thing for the right reason, and at the right time, is the greatest influence in our society.

~Jack Kemp

 

The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.

~Leo Rosten

A video about the power of one:

 

Never, ever underestimate the power of one.

One smile.

One kiss.

One I love you note placed on a pillow.

One minute to stop and listen and pray for guidance.

One more day away from that addictive behavior that your trying to stop.

One touch on a loved ones arm as you stop to give attention to them.

The power of one.

Tomorrow is July 1, what power will you bring to today and tomorrow.

 

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Giving Thanks on Tuesday ~ 06/29/10

The last terrific Tuesday in June! I hope above all you take the time to share gratitude with the world.  When we share gratitude others at the very least they will take a second to ponder what they are truly grateful for as well.

Try it just once today share with someone how grateful you are for the summer weather after all of the mountains of snow that have melted away.  Grateful for the love in your life and children that even though at times make you wish for quieter moments you would not trade them for anything.  Then ask them what they have gratitude for right now in their life.  You never know they just may surprise you.

The word grateful is defined as:

1 a : appreciative of benefits received b : expressing gratitude <grateful thanks>

2 a : affording pleasure or contentment : pleasing b : pleasing by reason of comfort supplied or discomfort alleviated

A quote on appreciation:

“Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.”

~Winnie the Pooh

and another quote to reflect on today,

“Remember that you have only one soul; that you have only one death to die; that you have only one life. . . . If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing.”

~ St. Teresa of Avila

One life to live, one death to die....

Live with gratitude.

Live with a smile on your face not every second mind you but in your heart always.

In your attitude let that smile overflow.

In your walk, your daily walk let your smile be shared to another who just may have misplaced his and will be so very glad that you helped him find it once again.

Let your appreciation for life be that light that brightens the day for countless beings that you come in contact with and let the duplication from that appreciation go forth.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Monday Morning Wisdom ~ 06/28/10

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to the last week in June.  A new month is on the horizon and new steps to be taken.  Steps to be taken to your goals, aspirations and desires.

We all can look back and reflect on what we have accomplished both recent and long term. However the most important steps we can address is the ones we take at the present moment.

Right now!

What can we do right now to share more love.  In a world that is hurting both in and out of the our circle of influence what can we do right now to share and change the flow of hurt.

 

First off in our immediate circle of influence we can start with ourselves.  Our spirit can be filled with joy and love.  Smiles a plenty and positive energy that flows like a river or stream.

It all starts with us.  It starts with the man or woman on the other side of the bathroom mirror.  What energy can you redirect today.  What can you do to brighten another person's life.

Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”

~Author Unknown

We are all part of the one source of energy.  One source that created our ability to have free will and the ability to make a difference and to love what have been loaned to us.

Nothing can be taken with us.  We all are born and all shall pass on and cross over but nothing that we have created or obtained in this world will we carry into our after life.  It all stays behind and with luck will be recycled for good or used to make another's life easier.

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning,

but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

~ Maria Robinson

So as this month comes to a close and the most recent path has been blazed by your actions.  Take a moment and understand that what we give, what we service in this world is of much more importance than what we consume.

Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing.

~ Quincy Jones

********

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.

~ Douglas Adams

You can make a difference you only need to choose.

You can give service to others you only need to act.

You can make a difference.

Share a smile!  Share your love for life!

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Some Thoughts on a Sunday ~ 06/27/10

Good Morning everyone and welcome to Sunday!  I send you a smile and the wish for eternal contentment that what you have right now, is not only enough but enough to share and give to this world that we all share.

Sunday, maybe the best day of the week for reflection, worship and rest.  We share this day with so many people, our family, friends, and people who join us in song and prayer at our local churches.

During that football season, we share this day with screaming and passionate fans looking to be entertained by our local team.

Sunday is indeed a very good day.

I sit here with my coffee at my side and the birds singing away outside my window.  Nothing like the taste of coffee in the morning but on a Sunday morning, it is great to start the day with that taste and aroma.

My plans are many for today, lots of work to do and partake in. But pray and meditate I will do as always.  To be thankful to God in prayer and listen to God in the stillness of meditation is perhaps the most important part of any morning.

Earlier I wished for you the reader eternal contentment and the knowledge that right now, yes this very second what you have is more than enough for you but also enough to share with others in this world.

We never really seem to acknowledge what we have is enough for us to sustain ourselves and prosper with. Think of this thought for a second.  What is contentment?

Contentment is defined as according to a recent Google search:

happiness with one's situation in life

wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Contentment is the experience of satisfaction and being at ease in one's situation.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contentment

contented - satisfied or showing satisfaction with things as they are; "a contented smile"

wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

a form of fulfillment sought by femininity characterized by peace of mind. "Contentment is a reward for depth of character which serves society, avoiding selfishness." [Psychoanalysis and Civilization] analog: happiness.

www.ninthstreetcenter.org/nsc/Glossary.htm

A state of mind in which one's desires are confined to his lot whatever it may be (Ti1 6:6; Co2 9:8). It is opposed to envy (Jam 3:16), avarice (Heb 13:5), ambition (Pro 13:10), anxiety (Mat 6:25, Mat 6:34), and repining (Co1 10:10). ...

sacred-texts.com/bib/ebd/ebd089.htm

A heightened sense of appreciation brings contentment. Contentment is the brother of peace; it is finding great joy in what you already have without thought or demand for more. The man who counts his blessings far sooner than his burdens and seems to always have enough, that man is content. ...

www.happiness4free.com/definingemotions.html

is a feeling of calm, peaceful satisfaction.

highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0073370193/658862/feldmanup9e_eslmod32.doc

I can live with any and all of these explanations on the word contentment.

Some quotes on the word contentment:

 

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

~ Frederick Keonig

*******

“Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase”

~ John Balguy

So take the moment to think deeply on this word contentment and ask yourself are you?

Do you take the time to count your blessings for what you truly have?

Today this very day ponder these questions and enjoy your day with whatever plans that you have.  May your moments with today be more than enough to make a difference in someone's life.

Share a smile and share the love with someone today.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Saturday Morning Reflection ~ 06/26/10

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!  The weekend is here, the first Saturday of summer.  A beautiful full moon here last night and a very clear and comfortable night here in western PA.

"For most people, we often marvel at the beauty of a sunrise or the magnificence of a full moon, but it is impossible to fathom the magnitude of the universe that surrounds us."</q>

~Richard H. Baker

The power of intention has so much magnitude as well.  When we speak to the universe and let it know what we want and how we have the ability to acquire magic starts to happen.

Know what your ability already is

you are a perfect creation - speak with intention what

you truly want to draw to be drawn to you from the universe.

This is another day to reflect of course here at Make ME Smile Online.  I share a post from June 26, 2009.  Enjoy and take a moment to reflect another year has passed another trip around the sun gone by.

The Angel and a Pop Icon

June 26, 2009

A strong wave hit our shores today and two were taken away from us in the wake.

A day that we will remember for years.  Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passing away on the same day. They both will be missed but yet both left behind so much to remember and reflect upon.

Growing up in the 70's and 80's both had an impact on my life and the life of those around me.  Charlie's Angel star, Farrah and her poster and hair style adorned lockers in my school and walls of boy's bedrooms everywhere.  We all groaned when Lee Majors the "Six Million Dollar Man" married her and felt relief, like any of us had a chance, when they split up.

In the early 80's I Dee Jayed at a club in Burlington, WVa and must have played Michael Jackson's Beat it, Billie Jean and Thriller 100's of times.  The crowd on the floor would have wanted me to play them once an hour but twice in one night was enough.

They both made us feel great growing up.  Both made us laugh, smile, cheer, dance.  They will not be forgotten.  Not since the passing, of John Lennon has so many been touched all over the world.

The one song I love to listen to and read the lyrics is Man in the Mirror.

We can all make that difference, make that change if we stand back and look at the mirror.

Look at ourselves, not just on the outside but on the inside.

Look at our dreams and turn them in to goals with actions and plans to set them to life.

Look at our hopes and prayers and set them free into the energy around us and then into reality.

Dream Big, I love that video I shared with you a few weeks ago.

But the words and the song and the video of Man in the Mirror, we all grew up with this and it is just as relevant today as it was then.

So I leave with you today with this video, and  I wish you all a great Friday!  I wish the family of Farrah and Michael the very best and my prayers go to them.

The waves of life will continue to hit, there is always another coming a shore.  Some we get to play in and some we wish would never come but come they do.

God Bless you today and Make that Change in your life!

 

 

A video tribute to Farrah

 

 

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Flowing into Friday ~06/25/10

Happy Friday to you all!  Flowing into Friday that river of anticipation for the weekend to start and the rest and relaxation that comes with it.  The first weekend of summer how great is that?  I hope you enjoy time with family and make this weekend special for all.

This week I have shared thoughts and idea's on the cause and effect of intention in ones life as it effects ones goals and progress.

I also have written about the word sabotage and its ability to hold back our progress towards what we say we want and what we constantly give ourselves and those around us.

Today is about the first step to fixing it.  There are many whys that this happens but fixing it and the how is much about what today is about.

If intention comes about by understanding values and goals and having a plan, then stopping self sabotage is understanding our progress towards that goal and listening to our self talk and beliefs about ourself.  Self talk can be audible or silent in side of our head.  It can destroy our best of intentions.

To understand we must first learn to be still and quiet even in the most task driven situations.  We must learn to ask ourselves questions of howand whatinstead of questions like why.

Questions like whydoes this always happen to me have no real purpose and power to fix.

Questions are better served when we ask howcan I make this better? Or whatcan I do right now that will help to improve this?

Self talk can also deflate our desire to even ask questions of course.  How we talk to ourselves internally and externally can shape the very direction of our intention and success.

When you place your feet on the floor in the morning to you greet the day with inspiration and joy?

That cup of coffee is that your fuel to get moving or is it just a extra push to enhance?

The first look in the mirror do you take that extra time to compliment that reflection and let yourself know how great this day will be, or do you barely make eye contact and drag yourself to the next station?

What we do and how we do it is driven by how we feel about ourselves.  Our focus should always start with the positive attitude and the gratitude that we have the tools to get the job done.

It is much easier of course to flow into Friday than flowing into a Monday but is it really?

Monday is just another day, 86,400 seconds just like the next person.

86,400 seconds to make your intentions a reality...... Enjoy your day and the weekend.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Thursday Theory 06/24/10

Welcome everyone to a great and yes I mean great Thursday!  My intention for this day is to spend it with my love and partner Janice and share many smiles along the way during its journey.

My theory, as I like to share on Thursday, is that when your in love and feel the very magic of being with the right person at the right time everything just seems to flow better along life's highway.  I sincerely hope your journey is filled with love as is mine.

This week I have been sharing with you my thoughts and idea's on intention and sabotage. How often we awake and start our day on the right path and intention but somewhere along the way we stop and flutter to the ground like a bird with a bad wing.

Our only question is why?  Why do we want the very best for ourselves and our loved ones but come up short even though we truly intend on fixing the issue we want to change.

Fear?  Yeah, spoke about that yesterday.

Comfort?  You bet, we like to be in our comfort zone. We feel safe there.

There are other words I am sure to describe why we do it I'm sure but often we have more association with the pleasure of not following through than the pain of the effort needed.

Yesterday I shared a video of Nick Vujicic who has not arms or legs yet continues to push forward, things like surfing, swimming in the ocean he does not sit in anyone's corner and pity himself. He pushes on, and pushes on and completes what he sets out to do.

How do have that mind set?  How, just do it.

How does anyone with a disability accomplish what they need to do?  They just do it!

So my theory about sabotage is that if we can acknowledge that we let this happen we can at the very least acknowledge the need and the how we can change it.

Intention a quote here for you:

“Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.”

~Mary Anne Radmacher

~~~~~~~~

“Our intention creates our reality.”

~Wayne Dyer

Create your reality today, set aside all the reasons that this won't work and turn them off like a light switch.

Create your reality with simple lets do it and I will do it mentality.

Just do it!

You want to lose some weight?  Just intend to and make a plan to eat better portions and control your caloric intake.  Exercise and stay focused on your planned goal.

You want to quit smoking?  Tired of that smoke that filters through your throat to your dark lung lining?  Are you have you thought of your life 10 or 20 years from now if you keep smoking?  Then just quit, get the necessary help what ever it may be but do it today. Focus on the knowledge that man was not born with a smoking roll of paper in hand to clutter the landscape of his lung and health.

Do you want to smile and laugh more?  Tired of the old face you see in the morning?  Then start living with the gratitude and the attitude that life is worth living and today, yes today can and will be a great day!  Live your life with intention!  You want to smile more?  Just do it!

Just do it!  Stop with the excuses and mindless failures of the past.

Just do it!

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

A Wish on Wednesday ~ 06/23/10

A wonderful Wednesday to you all, half way through the week I wish you joy and smiles to pass around. I wish you happiness that fills up today and love that lasts forever!

Thats my wish for today, well one of them or I could just stop my post here and until next time...Ok Its not stopping here, not just yet.

This week I have wanted to awaken the senses and get you to acknowledge two words and how they relate to your life. The words:

Intention, as it relates to what do you intend to do, your goals, plans and actions are they aligned with your values and core beliefs.

The other word:

Sabotage, more importantly how you may be self sabotaging your intentions. We often find our selves putting off to later what we really could do now. That is a form of sabotage. The question on the table is why do we do it?

Fear of failure and sometimes even fear of success.

Fear of what other people may think of us.

Fear of what may happen to us if we stroll down that road.

FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real

I truly believe that our fear is 95% sabotage based and 5% for our own good. We hold our selves back because we perceive that we are not good enough, or strong enough to carry out our dreams and goals. The human mind and body and spirit were designed by God to be perfect. Look at all the wonderful accomplishments of the past century, that for not for intention and direct execution and the over coming of obstacles we would not have completed them. Just think of computer and its development the very one that your reading this on.

Intention, what is your true dreams and wishes. What do you want for yourself, your family and friends?

What are you willing to do to see these dreams and wishes and plans come true. Yes it will require effort, no doubt about it. But the effort you have put in the past to bring all to reality right in front of your very eyes has that effort not been worth it.

I want to end this with a video and during this video ask yourself what is his intention as he carry's on even through all his real, very real differences.

How easy would it be to let self sabotage impede his progress and goals.

But yet he carry's on. Enjoy the video:

I hope it gets you to wish and dream and plan and execute.

Carry on my friend....

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Giving Thanks on Tuesday ~ 06/22/10

Another terrific Tuesday everyone! I hope you can experience the gratitude that makes life's journey ever growing with joy. Gratitude is the one feeling or state that we can all use more of in our lives. It not only grounds us when things are a bit challenging it also gives us that much more when we pass through our storms in life.

A quote:

As each day comes to us

refreshed and anew,

so does my gratitude

renew itself daily.

The breaking of the sun

over the horizon is my

grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world.

~Terri Guillemets

Each and every day we awake with a sense of priorities on what needs done. We have duties to prepare and execute. People who need our attention and work that needs to be completed. But with every intention that we know we must execute do we take time to take care of the person who must endure and take care of all these duties?

That person of course is the actor and director and producer of the best performance of their life. That person is you.

Start each day with passion when getting out of bed. Stretch and give thanks for your nights rest. Pray and meditate to our creator of all the great things that have come our way and the things yet received. Take a minute or two just to open your gratitude journal and write just a few sentences that you can later reflect on that explains to the world what great things are happening in your life right now and how appreciative you are for them.

How long would these things really take? 20 minutes? Your worth it.

Our intention is perhaps the most important step before we act out our next instruction.

A quote on intention:

“Let your intentions be good - embodied in good thoughts, cheerful words, and unselfish deeds - and the world will be to you a bright and happy place in which to work and play and serve”

~Grenville Kleiser quotes

Take aim today at what you indeed you want for your life and the life of others.

Take aim today with that smile the one that can change the outlook of another soul.

The power of a smile can indeed lift a spirit and change so much for the world we only need to use it.

Don't let any excuse stop you from execution of a grateful heart. Don't sabotage your intention to live a life of joy and appreciation.

Share and care with your heart. Take heed to what you have inside wanting and longing to be useful.

Live and love with your thoughts. Execute what your striving for that feeling of one with another soul that just matches and enhances your life. They are out there waiting for you. That one soul mate that just makes your would so right. Love should enhance and improve another's spirit never allow anyone to take your energy or spirit away.

Have a bless Tuesday and keep sharing your smile, you will never know the power of a smile given until you practice with diligence the simple action of giving one. The next person just may need it more than you.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Monday Morning Wisdom ~ 06/21/10

Marvelous Monday to you all! Can today get any better, really the answer of course is yes! This week I have a great and wonderful week planned and as it happens I will share some of it with you. But can you have a marvelous Monday too? You bet its all in your mind and your heart and deep inside the spirit.

This week the theme is going to be around two words and a problem that plagues so many and yeah even me from time to time. The words, Intention and Self Sabotage. Lets look at each word for a second.

Intention is defined as:

1. A course of action that one intends to follow.

2.

a. An aim that guides action; an objective.

b. intentions Purpose with respect to marriage: honorable intentions.

3. Medicine The process by which or the manner in which a wound heals.

4. Archaic Import; meaning.

Self Sabotage is defined as:

n.

1. Destruction of property or obstruction of normal operations, as by civilians or enemy agents in time of war.

2. Treacherous action to defeat or hinder a cause or an endeavor; deliberate subversion.

tr.v. sab·o·taged, sab·o·tag·ing, sab·o·tag·es

To commit sabotage against. (against ones self)

Deliberate subversion against ones self? No, I no say its not so huh.

But many times we do commit acts that with the best of intentions to ourselves we wonder why can't I get this to work the way I planned it.

A couple identifiers here. What are you planning your day on?

Inspiration or desperation?

Desperation is running your day as a firefighter of sot always trying to solve flash fires in life. Yours and other lives. Are you tired, unrested and always trying to cope with the latest problem upon your desk of life.

Inspiration is running your day as a adventurer, seeking out the next trail to hike or mountain to climb. Your not tired, your rested and the path before you is well planned and your desire to tackle the latest opportunity before you is putting it mildly a no fuss event.

Today is day one to the rest of your life.

Today is day one to being inspired and grateful instead of desperate and fearful.

Today is your day! Make the most of it.

Take time today to look at how you planned your day and what you monitored and achieved. Look at your inner self and ask are you running desperate? Or, are you running inspired.

We all have good intentions of what we want in life.

We all have moments of greatness that some of us call luck. Maybe it is luck but you were smart enough to see the luck come and you captured the moment.

Savored it and said how do I get more.

You are the captain of your ship so full steam ahead this Monday morning and take a close look at your map that lays on your 'deck' of sort. Enjoy your Monday and have a marvelous time choosing your path.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Some Thoughts on a Sunday ~ 06/20/10

Happy Father's Day everyone! Welcome to the one of the best day of the year for dad's the other day is your son or daughter's birthday! So dad's take the day slow, put down the garden tools unless that is your passion of course. I have a hammock that awaits me later in the day and the love of my life who is with me as well who will be sharing it with me. I love you Janice. Always will.

Can Father's day get any better. Well I don't think mine can.

Today cherish your memories of Fathers day gone by. Yes my father has crossed over to a better place but many of us can focus on what was, how great the memories we can recall.

Our fathers shaped and molded who we are today. Of course so did our mothers without a doubt. We can look back and have so much gratitude and solace of what we are today is what we experience from our parents.

A couple quotes to share this Fathers Day ....

Henry James once defined life as that predicament

which precedes death, and certainly nobody

owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament.

But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it.

~Clarence Budington Kelland

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.

~John Gregory Brown, Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery, 1994

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The greatest gift I ever had Came from God; I call him Dad!

~Author Unknown

So this day share in the memories, the moments gone by and enjoy the day with Dad or just your memories will do just fine. Enjoy the day, relax and share a few smiles along the way.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Saturday Morning Reflection ~ 06/19/10

Happy Saturday everyone! Welcome to the weekend. Pre Father's Day which is Sunday. A day to share with your Dad how much he means to you and what he brings each and every day. Enjoy this weekend and embrace the moments you both have shared over the years.

This day and every Saturday, I take a post from the past and reflect and today is no different. So the post is from April 30, 2009.

Staying with the topic of focus and....

Visualization

The smile, a simple yet powerful action, you increase your interactivity with others many times, because of a smile. But what if you misplaced your smile? What if factors are getting the best of you? We know this can happen, maybe you lost your job, or know someone who did. The family has a new stress, a health issue, or just uncertainty surrounds you. Any of this sound familiar to you?

“The past does not equal the future” – Anthony Robbins

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

— Buddha 563 to 483 BC.

The next step is visualization, the process of forming a mental image in your mind and seeing yourself in that image. Understand the mind, your mind believes what you want it to believe. Your mind and your inner spirit which speaks to you can be empowering or limiting.

Yesterday we asked, what makes you smile. Gather your list and try this simple exercise. Visualize for three minutes, use a timer, if you must, and imagine you doing each of those five things that make you smile. Put yourself in the picture in your mind, think what it would feel like, sound like, smell like and even taste like to be in that moment. Visualize how you feel doing these empowering and happy things. Do this every morning and every night, maybe just before you enter something in your gratitude journal. Try it now and then come back.

So how do you feel?

We are not saying to ignore the situation we are in at any given time. But what you think you become, what you focus on you enter that ‘thought cloud’. The question is can you see through that cloud or is it black and cloudy. If you believe you can do something then you can and like the saying goes if you think you can’t your still right. What we think about we become.

Think about hate, we become a hater.

Think about love, we become loving.

Think about a smile, we will smile.

This brings us to Power Action Thought Number 183

Visualize every day and every night. Visualize what makes you happy, look at your self in that scene in your mind.

We are what we think we are at that moment. A smile on your face can change your moment and the moment of another. It can change your state and it can change another.

Stand out in a sea of frowns and Make a Difference

Flowing into Friday ~06/18/10

It's Finally Friday, lets start off with a video just a little fun to start our Friday!

There a little George Jones and some great images to go with it. Started the day off for you I hope in a positive way.

Thats my mission and focus at MMSO (Make ME Smile Online).

Have not read our Mission Statement lately just click here.

March 18, 2009 the first day for MMSO and still going. Stop by and visit every once in a while and if you need some smiles you should find a few there.

So how is your Friday Flow thus far hopefully going well at this point. I have my coffee to my left and the birds singing just outside my video. Yes its going to be a great day!

Friday, just the word can make people smile. To them its the end of another work week and the start of a promising weekend with family, friends and sunshine.

The same feeling that you have on Friday can and should be on any other day. Think of it, your thoughts and perception is just the enhancement and hue that you give Friday. Could you do it for any other day.

Your FOCUS, (yes thats this weeks word), is to get to the weekend.

Songs have been written about it and the acronym T.G.I.F always flows to the mind on this day. We should T.G.I.A or Thank God For Another Day.

Life is a gift!

Life is your design put on life's drawing board.

Your in control and your focus is what gets the final approval.

Your plan, your goals, your execution, your rework to make it right.

Its all you. No one can alter your mood and design unless you let them. Yeah they can add something to your plan, if they are a boss, or family we do have people to answer too. But really are they the designer of your mood? Can they make your smile go away from your heart? No, only if you let them.

SO STOP LETTING THEM!!

Enjoy this day as you would any day! Have fun with life.

Oh one more video to keep you smiling!

Have a great Friday and enjoy the smiles, share one for me O.K?

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.
