Some Thoughts on a Sunday ~ 06/06/10

Happy Sunday everyone hope your day is a great one. We have another day to share with loved ones and relax and rest into the coming week. Take time to share your smile and spread them around today.

First my thoughts and prayers go out to those who went through last nights and early morning storms in South East Michigan and North West Toledo. They had several tornado's sightings and damage reports are still rolling in as they assess the local damage this morning. I lived in that area late 80's and early 90's and my prayers and thoughts go out to them.

Take time today to add them in your prayers.

Today I also take my daughter to the airport as she spends June and early July with her mom in Houston, Texas.

It will be sad to see her go but happy as well as I know she is looking forward to seeing her family there. She knows that I will miss her and Bella and Bear the family dogs will miss her as well.

Yesterday at the Point here in Pittsburgh over 1800 canoe and kayak's gathered.

As part of World Environment Day, Pittsburgh breaks the Guinness World Record™ for Largest Raft of Canoes/Kayaks. Here is a great time lapse video:

Congrats to all of those who came out in the rain to once again show off the Pittsburgh pride and spirit. Great job!

Today enjoy your family, share your pride and love for them.

A quote about family:

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

~Barbara Bush

Today enjoy time spent with them.

A quote about renewed spirit:

“In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”

~Albert Schweitzer quote

Today enjoy time in prayer and meditation.

A quote on meditation and prayer:

“Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God.”

~Diana Robinson quotes

Today learn to be still, to listen and to be grateful for what we all together share.

Life

Love

The ability to make a difference in so many ways.

The ability to understand that one, yes even one can change another if not for a moment, maybe even for a lifetime.

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

Saturday Morning Reflection ~ 06/05/10

Happy Saturday everyone and I wish you the very best today. Rain or shine this day can add many memories to you and your loved ones. Take control of the smiles today, share and pass them around like a bowl of M&M's with many bags in the background. The feeling of sharing a smile and seeing that smile returned is priceless.

Make some memories today.

Share some smiles along the way.

Allow the joy and laughter to stay.

Today of course I share a post from the past year. But before I do I wanted to take a moment to touch on the passing of John Wooden, a great coach but more important a great role model and teacher. This link gives you a peak into the man and his story. Enjoy it yesterday he passed away at the age of 99 to join his wife who passed away some 25 years ago.

A couple quotes by Coach Wooden and a link to learn more about the man. Enjoy!

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

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

Consider the rights of others before your own feelings,

and the feelings of others before your own rights.

"There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith,

which cannot be acquired without prayer."

Today I picked a post from June 13, 2010. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you pass it along to those you care about.

It's all Belief

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope your weekend is a great one!

Have you ever noticed how some people no matter what always seem angry or bitter? No matter how often you say hope you have a good day, their often response is what is so good about it.

Sometimes we want to give up on them, don't we. Sometimes we almost get the why bother anymore attitude.

My thoughts are, Don't Stop!

Don't Stop your efforts, don't let another person change your path of a happy, can do attitude.

So many times people have a good thought or good idea and just before the tipping point of success they quit. Just when that one final push would have blown everything wide open for them they stop. Don't, you never know what is around that next corner.

It is all Belief!

Belief is when a team, any team in sports or life, goes through so much adversity and so many nay sayers that they stop listening to it all. They just play the game and win. They finish it!

Belief is when a good team thinks they can win, and the equally good team knows they will win, it makes all the difference, belief.

Belief is when you wake up in the morning, stumble to the shower, put on your happy game face and know, I will do this and guess what ..... you do!

Believe in yourself, believe in your efforts, believe in your dreams!

Don't Stop, you never know what is around that next corner of life.

You can't see it, you may not trust it all the time. But with every fiber in your soul, trust in your motives and dreams!

Keep pushing, Don't stop!

If you don't believe in you, if you don't trust in yourself how will anyone else?

I am always been a firm believer in the words 'I Will' over 'I'll try' .

I will states a determination and I will try states a possibility of failure.

Don't ever try to win at anything. Just know that you will!

One more smile and kind word may just make all the difference in that grumpy person.

One more smile and kind deed may make them wonder what makes you so different.

One more smile and kind thought may just nudge someone into feeling a little bit better about themselves.

Don't stop, believe in the power of belief! And believe in you!

Make a difference today, share a positive can do will do attitude!

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