Aren’t they cute. They came directly to my kayak. Now just for fun - go hug someone in your family and tell them you love them. Remind them how you appreciate them. Just a thanks for all you do means the world sometimes….or “you are trying so hard in school”. Give real words: we all need them sometimes.
Enjoy the colors of fall! Crunch falling leaves under your feet. The earth is still beautiful. ENJOY!
Call someone you love and tell them you love them! Look at the person you are living with and tell them you love them!
We are here to love one another and sometimes (EVEN if you think they know you love them), it is MUSIC to the ears to actually hear it.
We all take those we love for granted on occasion. Children who fuss and are a hand-full, the elderly who need constant help, even the perfect mate: sometimes we forget that if they weren’t here, they would be missed.
So do it right now……TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM! EVEN if it’s yourself. After all, you are a UNIQUE, one of a kind individual, and you need love too!
I know (and this is my right to choose), that God loves you too! Come near to God, and God will come near to you! CREATE
an awesome day and LOVE-LOVE-LOVE!
“Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

We laughed and jumped in the VW van to begin the trek cross country. My husband, two small children, and a pile of stuff to pack. It wasn’t totally pleasure that inspired us. My husband was a musician. He was booked to play some clubs cross country. With high anticipation I pledged to “make it work” - and make it work I did! Along with working to make it!
When we reached Ogallala, Nebraska we had a bit of time between gigs. The kids were happy to have a bit of time to quit driving and actually get out and play. My husband, brilliant, but not having an ounce of common sense, decided to drive out on the beach at Lake Ogallala.
I winced at where he parked the van and said, “Don’t you think this is a bit too close to the water?”
“Nay,” he said sharply. “I know how and where to park.” Ok. I wasn’t liberated then, so I
just shut up and started fixing lunch.
The children were laughing and running on the beach so I decided to turn to a radio station with
music. While fixing the tuna sandwiches I heard an interruption of regular programming.
“A storm is approaching and winds will be 70-85 miles per hour. This is unexpected, so prepare.”
(Or close to that!). I gulped and noticed dark clouds approaching from the southwest, and fast!
“John”, I yelled, “There is a severe storm approaching and the winds are going to be, etc…….”
He yelled back, “Oh, you must have heard wrong. They probably said 7-8 miles an hour.”
Again, I was still in chains, so I just put lunch on the table and called everyone in to eat.
Out of nowhere wind began beating the VW. The waves whipped up and the children screamed.
“Stay put”, John said. “We are safer in here than outside.”
I wasn’t sure, but found myself just holding the children and saying prayers.
When it was over, we were surrounded by water. Thank God the tires had sunk sufficiently so as not to turn us over….or take us out to the middle of the lake!
I thanked God for saving us. John paid someone for towing us out, and of course, we never spoke of it again! Oh my gosh, had it not been for my beautiful children…..those were NOT the DAYS to recall!
A photo for your pleasure!
Create a beautiful day NO MATTER WHAT!
It’s still a choice.
I want no part of being partly responsible for the man creature!
Is he the new king or should he be disqualified like Miss America was at one time for posing nude? Actually I think it happened to a couple of Miss America’s.
Are steroids and being naked similar? Is one worse than the other? I think public nudity, in most places, is a misdemeanor…don’t know about steroids.
hmmmmmmm. What do you think? Seriously, I want to know!
Repetition is the mother of all learning. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Repetition is the mother of all learning.
Hee hee. It is true.
Another quick thought: I’ve always believed “knowledge is power”. I think I was wrong. Someone pointed out to me that knowledge is nothing UNLESS YOU USE THAT KNOWLEDGE! Makes sense to me.
That’s it for now! CREATE a fantastic day by not letting ANYONE or ANY CIRCUMSTANCE steal your joy. It all works out in the long run. 
I go kayaking to be close to nature, the quiet, the water and the woods. What did I find as I came into dock?
Birds have opted to take over the frame for a sun cover on a houseboat instead of nestling in the trees of the surrounding woods. I had to laugh.
Of course I bet the owners of this very expensive houseboat won’t be quite so amused. I could just visualize what is happening to the deck and tables and chairs below the birds. Yuk.
Being the kind person I am I tried to shoo the birds away (not that they wouldn’t return anyway) , but they wouldn’t budge! Oh well, I tried.
