Where have the years gone, it seems like just yesterday I was holding this little baby.  I remember it as if it was yesterday.  There you were resting in my arms and I smiled and said I will give you all my joy and love and you opened your eyes with a little spark and smiled.  Oh happy birthday Kaitlyn.

Over the years I did continue giving you all my joy and love and we took this ride of life down on an amazing journey.  At first it seemed I was the one giving all my joy and love, but all along it was you that was enriching my life.  My Kaitlyn introduced me to new shows to watch, new songs to sing and even new friends she brought to visit. As she went from being my little Princess Babe Doll to a wonderful Princess young lady, bringing me a million smiles.

Yes, my Princess has grown to a wonderful young woman full and energy and ready to set the world on fire with her passions.  As I look back to my initial promise to you about giving all my joy and love, I now understand your little spark and smile.  It was you that was telling me you would give me more joy and love than I could Imagine.  Happy Birthday my Princess, and thank you for bringing joy and love into my life.

Much joy and love to you and yours.

Happy birthday Kaitlyn

The qualities that give pleasure to the senses

​When ever I feel stressed about life, I take a walk in the woods.  It truly amazes me to see all the plant life and listening to the animals.  I feel at peace and enjoy the wonderful things I see, hears, smell and touch.  Soon all the worries are released and I am at peace to enjoy life.

Appreciate the world around you.

You will only realize what you miss when you are unable to experience it any more.  We are so concerned about material things, which we tend to forget the natural beauty that is around us. Try to look at the world through a child’s eyes.  The sense of wonder children have at the smallest things, even whilst only walking in a park, should be your guide.

Much joy and love to you and yours

As you shift you’re thinking your life changes.

​Last week I took the family out on a boating ride, we have a lot of people on the boat, but it was going well.  Then a big wave hit the boat and the front was going down, I yelled shift to the back of the boat and we were ok, back to our adventure.  Note: we were riding in a pontoon boat, which is flat that is why the front went down with unbalanced weight. The kids had fun with riding a tube and seeing all the sites from the water.  Soon enough in all our excitement too many people we in the front of the boat and they yelled we are going down.  I yelled shift and put the boat in reverse and again we were good to continue our ride.  All was wonderful on our boat ride and the thought of sinking a few times was dismissed as we just talked about the joy we had.

Life is a lot like my little boat ride.  We get consumed with thoughts and sink into issues and we feel we are not going to make it.  Just Shift your thoughts, put them on something else or a wonderful adventure. 
Also remember to focus on the adventure and the joy and not the issues.  As you shift your thinking to joy and love you will see more of the same every day.

Much joy and love to you and yours
