Giving Thanks on Tuesday ~08/31/2010

Happy Tuesday everyone and welcome to the last day, the very last day of August 2010!


Make this day a great day, make this day the very best day by doing the following and doing a few simple things.

You are in control of your joy and happiness each and every day, why not make the most of each and every moment.

86,400 seconds in each day each one a gift because when they are gone they are gone!

First get enough rest, sleep is perhaps the best thing to do to give your self a chance of letting the positive flow in your life. When we are tired we let things flow right by us that just may of made all the difference.

Second, hit the ground with a positive attitude of gratitude. Be joyful that today your alive, your healthy, (if your not healthy like you would like to be understand this.....it could be worse), Be grateful for nature, for the stars, for the sunrise that starts each day and the sunset that ends each day. Acknowledge that your grateful in a vocal way. Speak it to the world, or a loved one. What a great day today is!

Thirdly, take a long look in the mirror, search the depths of your soul and smile. Give yourself a break and just smile at yourself and claim that this day will be the best. Better than yesterday, the day before and the day before that. Claim it, speak it and allow those feeling to flow like water flowing in a stream.

Lastly, drink enough water and don't skip breakfast. Breakfast starts the day out right and allows your body to get started internally. Your metabolism kicks in and so will all the other energy if you give yourself the energy upfront.

What can I say about drinking enough water that you don't already know. Our bodies are made up of water by 61.8%. Our brains about 71%.

The earth has over 75% water covering its surface.

We are drawn to water and the soothing sound of a fountain, or rain on the window or the sound of the surf beating along the shoreline comforts us and excites us.

Water has so many properties that our bodies need. It flows as our joy and happiness should flow, it the very presence should allow us to understand that life is always moving and changing and we decide the feelings that flow through our minds and hearts.


You could not step twice into the same rivers;

for other waters are ever flowing on to you.

- Heraclitus of Ephesus

~~~~~~~





The trees reflected in the river -- they are unconscious

of a spiritual world so near to them. So are we.

- Nathaniel Hawthorne

The water has many healing and building properties, use these properties to relax, to think, to grow, to heal.

Take a long shower! Allow it to cascade over you as if it were washing more than just dirt away.

Take a swim! Allow your body to cut through the water, as you swim through it and propel yourself forward.

Take a listen, as the rain falls, the stream flows by, the fish jump for food, the ocean waves as they crash into the shore taking and giving to its coastline.

Look as the water flows through your fingers and feel the delicate sensations your body longs for as it does.


There is nothing softer and weaker than water,

And yet there is nothing better for attacking

hard and strong things.

For this reason there is no substitute for it.


-Lao-Tzu (c. B.C. 550)

~~~~~~~~~

Enjoy your day! Make this day the very best and don't forget to smile, share a smile and love that you could make a difference for someone else!

A video best used to relax and energize the spirit!



To all of you today and everyday smiles are sent your way! : )

Monday Morning Wisdom ~08/30/10

Happy Monday everyone and the last Monday in August, wow this month ran by us fast did it not. So what great things do you have planned for the week? Labor day weekend is right around the corner and plans of cook outs, parades, floating in the pool are being thought out.

First I want to thank you for all your kind comments and thoughts about my fast approaching date with destiny with my love and lady Janice. 10 - 10 -10 is the wedding day, a private affair but so very special for the both of us. We have so many things in common and work well together as a team, our communications are spot on, we respect each others thoughts and keep our opinions out there and respect each others values. I think that makes all the difference in a relationship of equals and partnerships.


Respect each other's opinions and respect each others values.


I wrote earlier that October 10, 2010 is a date with destiny. I should explain that.

Before jumping into sales, in the auto industry, I worked in retail, the big box department stores of Murphy Marts, Value City and where I met Janice, Hills Department Stores. I was transferred from a Pittsburgh store in 1987 to Monroe, MI where I helped open a new Hills from an empty shell to a packed to the ceiling with merchandise department store at the local French Town Square Mall. It was a great challenge and loads of hard work.

Janice was hired for the Jewelry counter and her smile and eyes beamed for the customers and her attention to detail made her stand out among the others. I just admired her from a distance she was 21, I was 25 and was hooked on working and climbing the ladder within Hills. She asked me out, I was shy about dating going out with any employee, I said maybe. She gave me her phone number later that day and she was persistent about us going out. We did, and both of us and time passed and it went better than good, it went well.

Alas when your young you just derail the best of plans and things and without much adieu we went our separate ways. No drama, no hard feelings just went our own way. Ok, I was a little sad about it but accepted it.

Then fast forward to March 2010, I was looking at Facebook and searching out names from the past, one name jumped into my head, Janice. Search as I might couldn't find her until I searched her graduating class. Bingo, found her! Her eyes beamed out of the page like they beamed into the customers at Hills and like they did to me when she asked me out.

The rest just fell into place a trip in April to see her.

A trip in April from her to see me.

A trip for each in May and on back and forth the cars did travel. Mile after mile we got to know each other once again. We found great similarities that we knew from 1988-89.

The morning web cams, the afternoon text messages, the evening phone calls all brought the picture into crystal realization. We loved, we cared and we shared the same values, idea's about life, family, joy and laughter. Her smile lights up a room, and my life.

Her ideals are aligned, her love is spot on my heart and spirit. She completes me! She rocks my world!

Somethings are meant to be. A friend on Facebook has this on her profile. I like it! I share it with you here:

People who are meant to be together, will always find their way in the end.

~~~~~~~~~~

Our date with destiny

10-10-10

It's a day I won't forget.

It's a day we will cherish.

It's a day that rain or shine, will be a perfect 10!

So my words of wisdom for today this Monday.

Follow your dreams!

Follow your heart!

No matter how dim, or dark or alone you feel right now....Stop those feelings

They do not belong to you, leave them on the cold forgotten path

Walk into the sun

Raise your eyes to the Lord

Put a smile on your face!

And know that this day is yours

God created us for service to each other.

God created us to smile and worship

We each have a destiny

What's yours? Dream it, speak it and follow your heart!

May your day be blessed! May your smiles abound!

To all of you today and everyday smiles are sent your way! : )

Sunday Prayer and Sunday Thoughts ~08/29/10

Happy Sunday everyone and welcome a new day, a day to give our time to our family, a day to worship and proclaim or faith and a day to claim our thankfulness for the week gone by.


This day is a day is your day, my day and a day for

our loved ones!

What prayers have been answered last week?

What dreams are you speaking into reality?

My prayer for the day is that my inspired thoughts and gifts that are sent are received and transferred into a energy that lifts and helps to develop a better you.

A better you that can 'Pay IT Forward' to those in your circle of influence.

What power we all behold, I just pray that my words may inspire you to 'TAP IN' to your inner self that can and will make a difference in this hurting world.

Thats my prayer today and that I share with you, pass it on!

So what's your prayer that you lift up?

I enjoy sharing some thoughts of the smile and how we can inspire others, even if we only inspire one what a difference that can make.

The power to stop the hurt, even if only temporarily can have a profound effect on healing the pain and stopping the ache that goes on inside any of us at any given time.

The power to look in the mirror into the windows of your soul, your eyes, and say that its going to be a great day and 'I AM' in charge of my day!

The power to share the power to care.

The power of a dream to lighten another's burden no matter how far away they may be in time and space.

These thoughts I leave behind with all of you today! Right now!

This day I want to announce that October 10, 2010 I am taking my lady, the one that makes me smile, the one that lightens my burdens, the one that makes me feel special and loved beyond belief, into a long lasting life of marriage.

Yep thats it! I said it ! A smile on my face, in my heart and love pouring from my soul! With gratitude beyond gratitude I thank her for coming back into my life.

A small private wedding, a small time to lock in our eternal love for each other!

My thoughts and prayers for today.

May your day be blessed! May your smiles abound!

To all of you today and everyday smiles are sent your way! : )

Saturday Morning Reflection ~08/28/10

Happy Saturday my friends! Some 17 months ago I started this project, the reason and the motive is simple, to share a smile, open up my thoughts and teach and entertain others to do the same.


To make a difference in some way.

To share the power of a simple smile.

To make a difference in just one person's life because of what I shared.

This dream and goal is a reality and I am forever thanking God that he has opened up my eyes to this gift.


I will not write about drama or my own personal life except for prayers or recent successes. I share no ill will or negative thoughts for that is for those who live for that kind of thing.

'The writer writes to get a response', but I guess I am not a writer if that is what is important, I write for me and I share it with you.

If it makes a difference for one then it is enough.

I do not write about the past for the past is only for reflection not to be lived up in the present and for that I will never write about negative situations that happen to me. If you really want to know the truth about anything just email me, a simple email as every coin has two sides, even if it has two of the same image on it, it has two sides. So if you indeed want to know the other side of the coin then email me: vyakin@makemesmileonline.com

But if you don't care to know it then just live, and smile and make a difference in this world that hurts. I do not hurt anymore for I am loved, loved by my children, loved my lady and light in this dark world Janice and loved forever by God who created oh so very much for me.

Really what else is there?

My writing speaks for itself, it stands on its own merit and my faith in that is strong.

Even if only one viewed my post and it makes a difference then I am happy.

Even if only one says thank you, you make a difference in my thoughts then I am happy.

Even if only one takes away something that I lay on the table of this than I am grateful and thank God above.

I will not stop, I will not wain, I will write just the same.

A post that started it all for me and for this I share with you.

From April 05, 2009:

As a kid I had a "pitch back", remember that metal frame that you stick in your yard with the springs and net like mesh. You throw the ball and back it comes. A simple enough device I bought one for my son and daughter last summer. They loved it!

Flowing into Friday ~08/27/10

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to Friday another great week is almost over and a chance to share another weekend with friends and family. A chance to share a smile, spend quality time with those we love and make a difference that just could change someone's outlook for the moment if not longer.


Yesterday I wrote about the game of chess and how it relates to life and the power of making a difference and sharing a smile. I promised to share with you the pieces on that chess board and how I feel they could relate to each and every smile we share and its purpose.

First the most important piece.

The King

Without the king thats you the game of life would be over. The King (male or female interchangeable) is our self. Our ego, our state of being. The king in chess moves one space at a time as should we as we go about our day, our week and month. One step, one thought and one realization as what our goals are and how we want to obtain them. The king is us as an individual never forget to understand you are in control of your thoughts and your actions and your results, both good and those not so good.

The Queen

That is our spouse/family, and again they are not male or female related.

The spouse, or our partner, our better half and our family are always looking out for us. They show unconditional love and concern for our welfare. In the game of chess the queen can travel all over the board unless another piece impedes its progress.

The most valuable of pieces as is its relationship to us and our existence. Family is everything and the love we gain from it and give to them is indeed very valuable.

The Bishops

That is our moods, they protect the king and queen and we control our moods. We need to choose wisely what state of being that we have and how we can protect our state of being. We can control our self talk and how we talk about ourselves, we can control how we perceive our place in the world at any moment. We control our moods and our state. The bishop moves with ease on its own color square at a diagonally way across the board and in life our moods can move in the same way. We usually move straight ahead or backward but our moods can go off on its own if we don't protect them.

The Knights

That is our spoken words, the way we talk and the way we share our love with those we care about. Words have so much power for those that we share them with. Guard them and beware of their power. The knight moves and can jump over pieces to get to their objective and so do our words. They can move with ease and sometimes if we are not careful to watch the direction they go they can backfire against us.

“A bad word whispered will echo a hundred miles”

~Chinese Proverb

The Rooks or Castles

That is our Home, our family they guard the words, the moods and the loved ones within. In chess they can even protect and attack in a straight line across or forward and in live our homes are the sanctuary that we build, the home that we design and the protection for all that belongs.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones

- the ones at home.

~Mother Teresa


The Pawns

They are our smiles and the steps we take to making a difference in life. The chess board has 8 per side and if we protect them and use them wisely they can do significant results to the outcome of the game. The game of chess and the game of life. If we lead with a smile, lead with the idea that we can and will make a difference then we have a very good chance of protecting our home, our words, our moods and our loved ones. We can also lead a very calm and secure life with knowledge that we are behind the smiles and happiness and we are sending out joy.

The pawns are the soul of chess.

- Philidor

Just like the pawn is the soul of chess our smiles and our motives may be the soul of our life.

Just some thoughts on the simple game of chess. The game is long and full of strategy, take care on how you move your pieces and take care on how you move along today and everyday.

To all of you today and everyday smiles are sent your way! : )

Some thoughts on sharing a smile, your smile with so many who come within your circle of influence.

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

Thursday Theory 08/26/10

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to a new day, filled with new possibilities to make a difference and make the world, our world a better place.


On Monday I mentioned how life is a game and I compared it to the classic board game of chess, today I want to go a little deeper on that theory of mine.


Chess, a game that came to us from Europe in the later half of the 15th century and is based on a strategy and countless moves that computers have been used to develop theories to win and control the flow of the game.

The game is played on a board with 64 squares, checkered black and white 8 rows across and 8 columns down. The game is played with 16 pieces and the object is to protect the king and to use the other 15 pieces to challenge the other players 16 pieces and to break his defense to capture or 'checkmate' the king. Which means to capture it with out allowing the king to move another square to escape the attack.

The game has a opening game, a middle game and an end game and such is our life.

The opening game in our life is our early years, how we develop with our friends and family and how we build our faith upon God and the power of prayer to lead us through life's obstacles. The opening game in chess develops the pieces and the power to attack and impede and open up the other players defense to gain a stronghold and still have options and flexibility.

Our life starts with learning blocks and like the blocks on the chess board and the pieces in chess we can use those learning blocks or moments to develop our values and character.

A quote to learn from:

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.

Watch your words, for they become actions.

Watch your actions, for they become habits.

Watch your habits, for they become character.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

~Author Unknown

The middle game in chess and in life is our exploration state, our development and our growth. Our family building and our career growth, our plans are developed and executed and to enjoy life and help others from what we learned and continue to learn as we go through all stages of life. The middle game of chess uses the opening strategy to open up and attack to gain the advantage over the other pieces and close into the end game.

The pieces on the chess board I will get into on Friday and how they compare to the smile strategy within our life and family. I think you will find it flows and as flow into Friday so come back for that tomorrow.

The end game in chess is the part that closes out and controls the other players pieces to obtain the goal to win or at the very least come to a draw or stalemate.

The end game of life, we try to stay in that middle game but alas all great things to come to an end. Such is life but in our end game we try to learn others about life and teach the fundamentals to our children and their children and to make this world, our world a better place.

With the power of gratitude, the power of a simple well placed smile.

With the energy of the law of attraction being used for us instead of against.

The power of self talk with words of kind and empowerment and not words that destroy.

The power of prayer and the power of meditation to keep our eyes focused on what is important in life and our later years.

Our trips around the sun are much like the trips up and down the chess board. Sometimes we go forward and sometimes we go back but each time it should be with purpose, strategy and the development of our lives and the lives of others.

The power of you.

The power to change and think and plan and execute.

The power to make a difference, Today!

Smiles to you all!

Happy Tuesday and here is my thanks that I have another day to share gratitude with you, to give thanks for life, for nature that just sings outside of my window. To share your gratitude with the world, to out loud express that today I am happy to be alive.

I found this on The Inspired Room at Theinspirtedroom.net


20 Little Attitudes

Mind your manners. Say please, thank you and excuse me.


Smile when you see your family. Turn your frown upside down.

Pick up after yourself.

Notice when others do kind things for you, show gratitude by action or words.

Say I love you before going to bed.

Give hugs daily.

Don’t worry about tomorrow. Focus on what you are happy about today.

Create gratitude journals to keep track of daily blessings.

Show thankfulness for even the little things others do for you.

Leave love notes in unexpected places like lunch boxes and under pillows.

Encourage someone with a compliment.

Verbalize what you are grateful for when you feel like complaining about life.

Keep a basket of small slips of paper on the table. Write notes of thankfulness during the week and read them to each other during a family meal.

Remember to thank God for blessings each day.

Surprise your family (or friends) with little gifts or treats to show you thought of them.

No grumbling about minor annoyances around the house.

Do special things to cherish time with your family. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

Reflect on happy memories regularly. Make inspiration boards of special times.

Help someone out without them having to ask you. Watch for someone in need.

When you are doing household chores, be grateful you have a home to clean.

Some thoughts to think of and maybe even print and post. The web site has some positive energy to it and I hope you stop by.

The Internet is full of inspiration and I hope we all take the time to explore the positive sides of the web.

I am grateful.

Three simple words that when we close our mediations can come alive in our heart and spirit.

Make the most of today.

Make the Difference

Monday Morning Wisdom ~08/23/10

Happy Monday and a very sincere smile is sent your way. A new week full of possibilities and dreams about to become reality.

All inventions were once dreams and action put into motion from well crafted intentions became real. When we plan and put our plans into action we get results and when we filter out all the ingredients that lead to the improper results or outcome we delete them from the actions.

Its that simple with goals and plans and it is that simple with the smile.

A smile can light up a room with its reflective powers. You might also say a sad face or a scowl can turn a room a little dark in mood with its reflective powers.

Go back to a time when a loved one or close friend had some bad things happening in their life how did their facial expressions make you feel. Lets say you were happy, joyful and filled with love and you first saw them how did it change your state?

It took you down that dark alley and for that period of time you empathized with them. You put their burdens upon your shoulder.

Is it wrong to do that? Of course not but if you let them keep you in that state even once you move on then your doing yourself a disservice.

We all should have empathy in our emotional playbook. We all should try to inspire a friend or loved one in need by just listening or giving advice as well. It part of being present for them. Being there when a friend or loved one is in need of that shoulder to cry on or just another ear to hear them out.

But should we let another person emotions dictate our feelings. My feeling and thoughts say no. We as that positive presence in the world, in our world and in the circle of influence must remain in the state we wish to be in.


One joy scatters a hundred griefs. ~Chinese Proverb


The by product of joy is a smile and so when we share that smile and its reflective power it helps to decrease the power of grief or anger.

Life is indeed a game and one game that I often think about when working my day is the game of chess. The object in this board game is to use 15 pieces to protect your king from the endgame objective of checkmate. To be put into that final move of checkmate is game over. It is often said that to play a good game of chess you must be able to strategize a couple of moves ahead. Playing in advance the likely moves of your opponent. Such is they way of life, having a plan to execute and having made your self ready for the speed bumps of life and the alterations that must be executed to protect yourself from being derailed or stopped in your tracks.

The greatest pitchers in baseball don't just have one pitch that strikes out their batters they have a few good pitches, the slider, the change up or a knuckle ball and they create an ebb and flow to their game that causes the batter to second guess the pitch or swing to soon or to late. The pitcher who only can throw a fast ball often is the hitter can anticipate that and make proper adjustments.

Life is a game and to play with a smile and joy in ones heart we play to win and get out of the gate with speed and a plan.

So how do we filter out the negative emotions with out being uncaring.

First we don't let others dictate how good we should feel. We live with our joy and happiness without regret.

Second we put our heart close to the vest and stop wearing it on our sleeve, we don't allow another's opinion of us to influence our joy or happiness it truly is none of your business anyway. Your business relies only on your game plan and its execution.

We start each day with words of gratitude and we start each morning with mediation and thoughts that empower instead of listening to words and self talk that take away our joy and happiness.

We remind ourselves that God created us to be servants of our brothers and sisters and he gave us free will to work with a cheerful heart, a heart filled with love and a spirit filled with purpose. We are meant to be happy, we are meant to live a life of joy.

Do we need to grieve and go through other emotions? Of course we do but its not that we should never feel those other emotions.

It's that we should never stay with them longer than we want to. WE control our time shared with these emotions and we drive ourselves away from the current storms.

A quote I want to share here:

“If you are going through hell, keep going.

~Winston Churchill

Life is indeed a game and like chess we need to plan and not delay our thoughts of what our objectives in our life our. But remember this quote as you travel through life this week.

At the end of the game, The king and the pawn

go back in the same box.

~Author Unknown
