Did you know that people have been searching for the key to happiness forever? Well, they have…and they are. Some people seem to think that the key to happiness is to have the ability to live well and have all the high-dollar items that money can buy…while others think it’s the perfect romance….or love story…so to speak. So many others will search high and low in hopes of finding their, “happiness” so with that… they will pursue so many different …
It’s true…..money can buy so many fine things…but it’s what money can’t buy that truly matters in life. You don’t have to be a millionaire to have the finer things in life… did you know that? Oh, sure…..that “high-dollar” bottle of champagne or even that fancy caviar is a fairly obvious staple of those living with the proverbial “silver spoon.” The finer things in life is an English phrase that is fairly well-known. For many people, this phrase means all …
This letter is for you…..any of you really. It is my chance to let you know how my heart really does feel…all the way down…deep into my soul. You see, my dear friend…you came into my life when my heart needed it the most. When there was loneliness and perhaps even sadness. You were always there for me to hear me….to just listen and maybe even to offer up some advice. You were sometimes….just there…..just the knowledge that you were …
I can remember wanting everything that life had to offer. From taking trips, to really doing whatever I wanted and even just doing nothing at all. But, I’m older now…..not old….at least I don’t feel that old….just older. But I have come to realize that as all of the years have gone by, I have done those things and so much more. It’s simply putting everything into perspective. I still have so much more living to do. So much more …
There are so many things in life that I believe are important…no matter how small they may be. To some people, my list of beliefs, that I will share with you may not be important to them or you at all…and that’s okay…because to me they are. But maybe once you read what I have to share…well, you will say to yourself….”Oh, yea…I believe in that too.” All About People I believe most people are too hard on themselves. Whether …
I consider myself fairly laid back…for the most part. I really am more of a home-body….not really one for going out all over the place…with every free moment that I have…unless it is a vacation of course. At least this is more of how I am now that I’m older. My life isn’t perfect…I’ve never claimed it to be…but it’s perfect for me. Don’t get me wrong…there are so many things that I long for and even yearn to do…but …
I Needed More Time “I wasn’t ready to let you go…..this was the hardest thing that I ever had to do.” Losing a loved one, how do you even begin to prepare for it? Well, you can’t really. Life on earth isn’t for an eternity, only the memories are. But, when the time is here to let someone go, the heartbreak is beyond measure. When the loss is through a tragic event, well there are no words of comfort. This …
What is Life? Our life………its full of ups and downs……sadness and sorrow…..decisions and complications. Life….is full of surprises…excitement…let downs and disappointments. Life…..it’s about lessons and learning….compromises and even compassion. Life….it’s all of those things, but so much more. A Gift We are all a gift in this world….did you know that? You better believe it. We are a blessing and a miracle all rolled into one. This is why it is so hard for me when individuals take their own …
This phrase is often said by many people. But do you really know what’s behind its true meaning? It actually stems from World War II. On a wing and a prayer describes doing something difficult or dangerous while relying on divine help or just plain luck. The phrase was inspired by Hugh G. Ashcraft, Jr. an American pilot of the B-17 The Southern Comfort. When returning from a bombing run over Germany in a maimed plane, Ashcraft told his crew, …
Come on now…can you really keep a secret? It can be really hard for a lot of people, depending upon what the secret is. But, if you’re not careful, a secret can be told to one person, which will, in turn, be repeated to another and then another…until your original “secret” is all “jacked-up!” A secret is something that is to be kept unknown…not to be shared by others. It is something that you keep to yourself, or maybe even …
Hello….is anybody in there? If I had a penny for every thought floating around in my head……well…let’s just say, my piggy bank would be overflowing! A Penny for Your Thoughts…it is a phrase that is often used when someone has gotten really quiet and maybe even just staring off into space. A Penny for Your Thoughts….keeping all of those thoughts bottled up in one’s mind, heart and soul….can be extremely overwhelming. Let Your Thoughts Flow A Penny For Your Thoughts…..it’s …
Dim The Lights When you think about the night, the first thing that comes to mind is sleep. Yet, there is so much more to the evening hours that turn into night. Late in the evening….have you ever just grabbed a good book curled up on the couch with your favorite fluffy blanket and let your mind run away with the characters in your book? I have on an occasion or two and it’s wonderful. The house is still, with …
