Journey of Joy

And let the celebrations begin.

It's time to celebrate family and all the joy they bring to us.
Be back sometime in August darlings.

On a journey of Joy


Family faces are magic mirrors like no other on this earth


You are just too good to be true

Never lose an opportunity of
seeing anything
that is beautiful.
For beauty
is God's handwriting,
a way-side sacrament.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Scatter Joy and Spread Love

I loved the movied The Tourist and especially loved all the beautiful clothes
Angelina Jolie wore. Ooooooh La La
She is so beautiful.



"Change Your Words And You Will Change Your World"
A blind old man sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He had a sign which read: "I am blind. Please Help." There were only a few coins in the tin can.

When a lady came walking by, she stopped and backtracked. She looked disapprovingly at the sign, took it and wrote some words on the back. She put the sign back where it was, so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. Many more people were giving money to the blind man.

That afternoon the lady who had changed the sign came to see how things were going. The blind man recognized the sound of her high heels and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The lady said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way. I wrote: 'Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.'"

Both signs told people the same thing... that the old man was blind. But the first sign simply said the man was blind. The second sign told people they were extremely fortunate that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story:

Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a reason to cry, show life that you have 100 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Keep the faith and drop the fear... just remember God is Near!

Summers Peak

by Hilda Sanderson

June lets summer softly in
With warm and sunny skies
While hotter days beg for realease
To which July replies
And as the season slowly heats
With blazing searing passion
The days grow long and lazy too
In summer's special fashion.
And at its peak the world seems to
Relax for just a while
To bathe in natures glow
And summer's sultry smile.

From the July bulletin from the nursing home where my precious
Grandmother resides.


Thanks for putting a song in my heart

Love and prayers and deepest sympathy for the family of the late
Dr. Paul Quenneville

God touched him with His fingers and he slept.

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us
what we have done for others and the world remains immortal.

Too often

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

I never met a girl like you before

“Success is not what you do, it’s how you inspire others.”

Your Song by Elton John

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen


I love Elton John
Especially Your Song♥

Dog days of Summer

MONTREAL - A Montreal pooch who disappeared last year has miraculously turned up some 4,500 kilometres away in Kamloops, B.C.

The black Labrador named Pollux is afraid of the water and detests the rain, yet she took an adventurous turn upon fleeing through a gate mistakenly left open at her east-end Montreal home last June 20.

Her owner, Isabelle Robitaille, said the family had searched high and low and given up hope they'd ever find the dog they had saved from the SPCA in 2005.

Then on Canada Day 2011, they received a shocking phone call from the SPCA in Kamloops: a dog with a tracking chip containing her information was found in B.C.

Photos sent by the shelter confirmed it, Robitaille said. Pollux was alive and well although a bit leaner than before.

"They told me she was in excellent condition," Robitaille said.

The Labrador retriever had been named Suki by her saviours in the southern interior city of Kamloops, B.C.


Thanks to my friend Chip for sending this to me.
Blessings my friend♥





A whale swims all day, only eats fish,drinks water and is fat. A rabbit runs and hops around all day,and only lives 15 years. A tortoise doesn't run, doesn't hop, it
does nothing .. yet lives for 450 years.. EXERCISE Just a little giggle for today

Wishing you a Wonderful Wednesday

I question not if thrushes sing,
If roses load the air;
Beyond my heart I need not reach
When all is summer there.
