A GREAT BIG THANK YOU!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU!

I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SECOND TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE PHENOMENAL REMARKS, AND FOR FOLLOWING THIS BLOG. I NEVER EVER DREAMED I WOULD EVER SEE 100 MEMBERS, AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN RECENTLY THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RENEWED INTEREST AND ZEAL ON MY PART FOR BLOGGING. 

I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THE CROWNING FACTOR WAS, BUT I DO KNOW THAT I WAS SENSING A DEPRESSION, OR APATHY IN OUR WORLD. I DECIDED THAT IF NOTHING ELSE I COULD PUT A POSITIVE SPIN ON THINGS, AND MAYBE MAKE SOME PEOPLE SMILE!

I HAVE NEVER REALLY WATCHED THE NUMBERS, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TRUE TO SELF IN WHAT I POSTED. RECENTLY WITH SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY 2, AND BLUE MONDAY, I HAVE MET AN EXTENDED FAMILY, AND I WANT TO WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE NEW VITALITY I FEEL!

YOU MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL!!

A SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PUT UP WITH MY BAD PUNS AND THOUSANDS OF PICS ALL OF THESE YEARS!

YOU DESERVE ---

WELL --SOMETHING!!!! 

I LOVE YOU ALL, AND AGAIN...THANKS AND LETS KEEP HELPING EACH OTHER THROUGH EACH WEEK!

YOU ARE SPECIAL

YOU ARE SPECIAL

If someone told you growing up that you would be reading THIS Blog on a Computer today, what would you have said? Right now you are reading this particular Blog at this exact time. Chance? Maybe..but I think not. I think everything happens for a reason and has an overall Divine purpose.

The very fact that you are here, at this one particular intersection of the universe, time, and circumstance(s) in your life is almost miraculous!

I'm no seer or prophet, but I do realize that we are all special. We can all contribute to the Universal good. I just want to remind you of just how special you are. You may not believe it or see it in yourself, but it is true. If to no one else- then to me!

Do not sell yourself short. If things are going well, Count your Blessings. If you are face down on the mat and you hear 6, 7, 8, 9....GET UP!! You can do it, and things will right themselves! Why? Because you are a Child of a Divine Creator and have a special purpose in this life.

I am not going to get all preachy as we each have different ways we express and believe our Faith, and Purpose of Being!

But I for one, Value you, don't judge you, and appreciate the fact that we are here together!

Whatever your need today- RECEIVE IT in your Mind and Heart and it will manifest when you need it most. Maybe when you hear 6, 7, 8, 9....!   

Mountains will move, finances will improve, life will be worth living,

the tough part is Faith and waiting! It's a FIGHT!

But I have confidence in

 US.

TOGETHER WE CAN!!

LOVE YOU ALL

 I HEAR YOU SINGING IN THE WIRE....

AND THE WICHITA LINEMAN, IS STILL ON THE LINE....

 I know I need a small vacation.
But it don't look like rain.
And if it snows that stretch down south,

And I need you more than want you.

AND I WANT YOU FOR ALL TIME,

AND THAT WICHITA LINEMAN,

IS STILL ON THE LINE.........
