Journey Called Life

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed this warning : "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched,

Another Year Gone Bye

2011-12-31T18:35:00.002-05:00

Tonight at midnight we will celebrate the entering of a new year. And another year gone bye. People that seldom stay up late will stay up this night until midnight just to see the ball fall. To watch all of the festivities going on. To delight in all of the fireworks going off in the sky. I wonder why we celebrate so much at this time. Is it because we consider a new year a new start? Or

Remember Those That Won't

2011-12-11T15:37:00.001-05:00

Please remember those that won't and/or can't be home for Christmas. Up until about the age of 22 I spent every holiday at my grandparent's house. Had wonderful times and great memories. Christmas holds many special memories for me. We would arrive at my grandparent's house on Christmas Eve. In our family we always shared and opened presents on this night. It was special to me because I

Connected For Life

I wanted to share this article with you because it hit home for me. When my life is going through tough times I tend to do just what is brought in this article. I redraw into my own little world. "Do you find yourself pulling away from others, especially if you've experienced a crisis or deep disappointment? Maybe the most difficult thing we can do is to be with people when we don't

Friendship

2011-12-02T20:19:00.001-05:00

Friendship is a miracle to be held wisely. The title of this video is "A Christmas Story - Journey Of The Angels/Silent Night". A very fitting title for such a strong story of friendship. Friendship is wanting the best for the other person. It encompasses trust, honesty, understanding, compassion and goodwill filled with gratitude for the other person. With a close friend you can be

I had to share this video with all of you because it spoke volumes to my heart. Tears formed in my eyes from the goodness portrayed by the homeless man. A smile came across my lips and inside of me. The title of the video is Change For A Dollar. A great play on words. When I first read the title I saw 4 quarters in my mind - or any amount of coins that would come out to a dollar. I have a

Day of Gratitude - 2011

2011-11-22T18:39:00.001-05:00

I have such fond memories of Thanksgiving from the days of my youth. Thanksgiving was always spent at my Grandparent's house. I got to see my uncles and their wives, my cousins and many other family members. My Grandfather never missed going squirrel hunting early on Thanksgiving Day. Funny thing, I can't remember ever seeing a squirrel that he brought home. Like most Grandmothers mine was

"I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, "Mother, what was war?" ~Eve Merriam Thank you for serving then and now. To all that have served. To all that gave their all. To those that are serving now. Freedom is won by the sacrifices and giving of so many brave men, woman, and animals known as War Dogs. You may hate war but never dishonor yourself by hating the soldier. Our gratitude

Just Doing What Had To Be Done

2011-09-28T00:30:00.001-04:00

When we are confronted with choices during a disaster it takes the strong and loving nature of the human soul to do what is right. I had tears running down my face as I watched this video. The caring love, compassion and concern for others during a time of need brought together those that were willing to step up and say, "I have to do this."

The Richest Man In Town - Marty Markinson Can life really be so simple as to do what really matters in life? I think so! If we just allow ourselves to let others know that they are really someone important. You have the ability to change someone's life for the better.
