I heard this song coming back from Charleston, SC a couple days ago and wanted to share it with all of you. Listening to this, it really reminds me that I am extremely blessed everyday of my life. I have loving, healthy friends and family. An amazing relationship, a house over my head, food in my cabinets, a car, pets that I adore, the ability to travel where ever my fiance and I want. I have tons of blessings and I know you do too. Just living in this country is a blessing. But sometimes us Americans forget about what we have and just focus on what we don’t have. If you find yourself thinking ”I need this, and I need this and I really need this and I can’t do this because I don’t have this” Sit back and change your mind set and think about what you do have. You are truly blessed each day with someone or something in your life. Even if you don’t have material things such as a car, house, nice clothes etc. you do have one thing and that’s your life. You are blessed everyday just being alive … lots of people this moment are fighting for theirs. Remember that someone out there is always worse off then you.
Keep this song and if your feeling that you are focusing on the negative – listen to it … it will put you back on track. Once your positive and continue to stay positive – things will start to fall into place.
God Bless! And thank you to everyone who is in my life … you are all a true blessing!

Wow……….so deep at such a young age. You’re way ahead of the game if you can just keep your
outstanding attitude. A friend who happens to be 68 years young recently wrote: Attitude is more important than facts or truth. It is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, power, control, or whatever people may say or do. Attitude will indeed make or break a company, a family, a church, or even a personal relationship. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice regarding attitude we may embrace every day. Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% of how we react and respond. Have an awesome day cute girl! Miss you. Aloooooha Love, Mom
I love it! And it is so true! Attitude is everything!
So I hear you are going to Ohio in October – should be cold (I mean fun) haha
You guys are still going to be able to come back next September for our wedding, right????
I wouldn’t miss it for the world! As soon as we get back from Toledo, I’ll start planning our Sept. trip 2010. Then we’re hoping the following year to get you and Nate and maybe even talk our eldest into making a trip here with his family?
Bridget has a fear of flying and not too crazy about the ocean, so I don’t know how well that’ll go (but that’s why they made hard liquor, right)? Talk to you soon. Miss you both. Thank you so much for keeping us in the “loop”. We are so blessed to have you both in our lives. ALOOOOOOHA!
