Excitement

Do you count down the days until you go on vacation?

You know the feeling you get once you book a vacation and you know exatcly when you leave, it fills you full of excitement and joy, hence the reason for a countdown.

The closer the day you leave gets, the more excited you become. You think about what you're going to do, what you are going to see, and how much you plan on relaxing.

Vacation is such an enjoyable time yet it always seems to go by too fast. Anyway, when you have a day or two left before you leave, you feel like you are going to explode with crazy, excitement. You are watching the clock until that day is done because you know that it is one day closer to going away, away from work, away from stress, away from your little, hectic world.

Once the day comes for you to leave, you anticipate the arrival of your vacation destination and you start to ease yourself into a relaxation mode.

You arrive at your destination and you take deep breath and softly say "We're Here," with a grand smile on your face. You know that the following days will be filled with memories and great times.

Enjoy your vacation and don't take one moment for granted :-)

Good Morning

When you wake up, it's a great morning. As you do your daily routine, it's a beautiful morning. While you eat your breakfast, it's a wonderful morning.

Do you notice that as soon as you wake up, you go, go, go?

Do you take a moment or two to be thankful for the day you get to live?

Everyday goes by faster and faster and we need to relax a little and take in the blessing we have received in getting another day to live.

When you wake up, look outside and whether it is cloudy and gloomy or hot and shiny, smile because you know that today is another day that is a gift for you. Kiss your children and your spouse, and Live today knowing that you have been blessed :-)

Sunshine

Sunshine makes us Smile, Sunshine makes us glow, Sunshine makes us healthy. Sunshine should be enjoyed every moment because it does not last forever and not everyday is all sunshine. Smiles are contagious so the more we smile the more happy people are and the more sunshine we can spread :-)

Days Come and Go but Memories Last Forever

What a Beautiful 4th of July weekend. It was hot and humid and just enough to make permanent holes in my brain filled with great memories and lasting impressions of what we did and how relaxing it was. Camping at Long Lake was the definitly the highlight. My husband and I went with a great couple from our church and we bonded so much, it was fantastic. We were able to just relax, sit by the campfire, share our crazy stories, swim, kayak, get a lot of sun, and then more relaxing. I am so blessed with what God has given me, his blessings are bountiful!
