Happy Friendship Friday!

Cherished Friends

God must have known there would be times

We'd need a word of cheer,

Someone to praise a triumph

Or brush away a tear.

He must have known we'd need to share

The joy of "little things"

In order to appreciate

The happiness life brings.

I think He knew our troubled hearts

Would sometimes throb with pain,

At trials and misfortunes,

Or goals we can't attain.

He knew we'd need the comfort

Of an understanding heart

To give us strength and courage

To make a fresh, new start.

He knew we'd need companionship,

Unselfish... lasting... true,

And so God answered the heart's great need

With cherished friends... like you!

Cheer For The Doer - Vince Lombardi

"It is time for us all to stand and cheer

for the doer, the achiever....

The one who recognizes the challenges

and does something about it."

~ Vince Lombardi ~

Are you a Doer and Achiever? One who stands up to plate and is ready to swing at every curve ball Life may throw your way? It's one thing to say you want something out of Life. Then, it's another to actually DO something about it.

Vince Lombardi was definitely a Doer and Achiever!

Today, we challenge you to DO something to get you closer to your Achievements. Reflect on what it is you're doing right now to attain your goals. If you don't find yourself getting closer, then it's time to DO something different. It might take you out of your comfort zone. That's Great! It's the moments we challenge ourselves that result in greater achievements.

Then, tomorrow and the next day, DO a little bit more. You'll find yourself closer each and every day. The key is to take action! You deserve the best Life has to offer. It's just up to you to make it happen. You are a Doer and Achiever! Now show us what you got!

Many Blessings....

Happy Friendship Friday!

Happy Friendship Friday!

A friend is someone we turn to

when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure

for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives

with beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the whole world we live in

a better and happier place.

Friendship Question of the Day:

Was your best friend growing up a lovable furry pal? Or maybe you have a furry pal in your life now? Tell us about them!

Believe it or Not? A Smiling Spider?

If Smiles are contagious,
would this make you smile?

On the Hawaiian islands of Oahu, Molokai, Maui and Hawaii, there are spiders making everyone smile! When we first saw this photo, we smiled. We thought it was silly, but didn't think it was actually real! Spiders are supposed to be frightening, ugly and hairy. But, not this one! Even smiles from this eight-legged creature are contagious.

Mother Nature creates the most amazing sights and this one tops our list! We hope we got a smile out of you today, too! :-)

Many Blessings....

Motivational Monday - Anything is Possible

Anything Is Possible

Believe in Yourself,
and Remember that Anything Is Possible

Believe in what makes you feel good.
Believe in what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams you've always wanted to come true,
and give them every chance to.

Life holds no promises
as to what will come your way.
You must search for your own ideals
and work towards reaching them.

Life makes no guarantees as to what you'll have.
It just gives you time to make choices
and to take chances and to discover
whatever secrets might come your way.

If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given
and utilize the abilities you have,
you will constantly fill your life with special moments
and unforgettable times.

No one knows the mysteries of life

or its ultimate meaning,
but for those who are willing
to believe in their dreams and in themselves,
life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.

Happy Friendship Friday!!

We hope everyone got a chance to meet our lovely friend, Victoria Czaia, last week. We know she's excited to meet all of you real soon, too.

Today's post is dedicated to our fellow blogger friend, Rej @ KIDDOMIND. This is a fairly new friendship, but we see it blooming into something wonderful. :-)

We're not exactly sure how we first met. We seemed to have stumbled upon each other's blogs through mutual blogger friends. And much like most blogger friendships start, it began with visiting one another's blogs and getting to know more about each other through our posts. We know through following Rej's blog that we share much love for Family and are truly grateful for each new day. We think that's a wonderful thing to have in common.

We recently received two special gifts from Rej. We're flattered to be among Rej's list of favorite blogs to be handed these two awards. We definitely recommend you visit Rej @ KIDDOMIND. You're going to enjoy the most recent entry titled, "HOME."

Thank you so much for the lovely awards, Rej! We're truly grateful for them and for your friendship, too! Thank you for being the wonderful YOU!

Many Blessings....

Friendship Friday - Victoria Czaia

Life = Risk

Life is about taking risks. How is one to improve upon themselves if they're always laying low in their comfort zone? Taking risks is essential to our personal growth and development, much as air is essential to our lungs. Without taking risks and even failing at those attempts, we're truly not ever "living."

Take note of the following most influential and successful "Risk-Takers" ever known. Most of you would have no idea what great risks they took to achieve their dreams and goals. Some of their risks were follow by failure, but they never gave up. The greatest risks anyone can take is to believe in themselves and in the beauty of their dreams, to pursue their passion and not let anything get in the way. Not even yourself, your fears or your failures.

Today, take a risk on You just as these following inspirational figures had.

*She was dismissed from Drama School with a note that read, "....wasting her time. She's too shy to put her best foot forward." ~Speaking of Lucille Ball

*They were turned down by the Decca recording company who said, "....we don't like their sound and guitar music is on the way out." ~Speaking of the Beatles

*He was a failed soldier, farmer and Real Estate agent. At 38 years old, he went to work for his father as a handyman. ~Speaking of Ulysses S. Grant

*He was cut from the high school basketball team. He went home, locked himself in his room and cried. ~Speaking of Michael Jordan

*A teacher told him he was too stupid to learn anything and he should go into a field where he might succeed by virtue of his pleasant personality. ~Speaking of Thomas Edison

*He was fired from a newspaper because he lacked imagination and had no original ideas. ~Speaking of Walt Disney

*His fiance died. He failed in business twice. He had a nervous breakdown. He was defeated in eight elections. ~Speaking of Abraham Lincoln
