Woke up this Morning :-)

"D" News from d home front ~~~

Woke up this morning, so this is another day to be thankful for, already a busy day and its going to continue to be busy, have lots to do, but just want to pop on and let you know I'm always thinking of you all!!! ~~~

And no matter how busy we all get, let's try to remember someone somewhere, doesn't matter how small the jester you make, just make one? It's the effort you make, even a smile :-) to that unsuspected stranger, or holding the door open for someone can make all the difference, we really have no idea the impact we are making in someones life. Any act of kindness is a blessing, be the one to turn someone's frown upside down :) They may have just lost a loved one or had an argument, or are just alone, we just don't know, so just do it! It can't hurt ~~~

Now, you don't have to stick around and read them an Epic tale (((((who said that))))) Not "D" she would never do that....hehehe giggle giggle, I'm getting better at it........I'm not perfect and I can't promise anything, and if you run into me, say perhaps at Starbucks....good chance at that one, I will try to be short and to the point......LMBO Yeah right!!!!! I'm still working on that one!! Work in progress I always say, a dear friend tried and is still trying to teach me that (short and to the point) I'm getting better I think
 :-/ "wink"

 Anywho, if you can make it short and to the point, go for it, even the lonely stranger may enjoy a brief word or two, so make D effort. Pay it forward, God blesses those that bless others....Live Laugh Love and Love some more!!!!!!!!! Love Unconditionally as God Loves Us! We aren't perfect and we are never going to be perfect, just be REAL....be true to you always! ~~~

Here's D thought ~~~

Don't Just Dream Your Life Start Living Your Dream!! Anyway you want, it's simple make a plan, execute the plan one day one step at a time, even if it takes you to 100, at least you'll have a mission! A goal, Living 2/100 still D plan, Loving Sunshine always!!! Always have always will!! I Love You!!!!!!!!!! Gotta scoot!! Hugs "D" Butterfly Kisses

Introducing: MARY'S POEM:    ((((((((HOW CAN YOU))))))))

HOW CAN YOU!!!

NEWS REPORT “A CHILD HAS DIED!!!”
Beaten black and blue, was the only abuse he knew,
His cries unanswered, no-one cared enough
How can you ignore, is there not something you can do!!!

A heart so broken, love was never felt
Only words that hurt, how her ears did sting,
Her eyes over-flowing with so many tears
Wishing an angel would sweep her away on her wings.

How can you ignore, turn and shut the door
How can you ignore, and pretend it’s not there,
How can you ignore, can’t you envision the hurt
How can you ignore, do you really not care!!!

So many screams can be heard, so sad!!!
So many intense feelings they have nowhere to run,
Afraid to be hurt, they retreat in fear
Emotional, Physical, the damage is done!!!

How can you ignore, if you see abuse happen to a child
How can you ignore, bruises so unexplained,
How can you ignore the look in their eyes
How can you ignore, their bodies so drained.

We can’t ignore the sadness they show
We can’t ignore the reports that we hear,
We can’t ignore, we can’t shut that door
Speak out!!! Reach out!!! Wipe away a tear.

"D" News....Thinking about Growing up..... :-/

"D" News from d home front.......

Good morning everyone another beautiful day to be thankful for!!!! I hope you all have a Fabulous Friday!!!!!! ~~~

I myself am having some of d best days ever, I will say this, these past few years, nothing seems to amaze me anymore.........Growing up has been quite the Adventure and one I am very thankful and grateful for........as I have learned much!!! ~~~

I can say this now on the subject of; Thinking about Growing up?
 :-/ A topic I have had lots of education on.....hehehe, giggle giggle, work in progress ~~~

There is nothing wrong with how and when you grow up.......as long as you eventually grown up, Yes, it would be wonderful if it all happened in the course of your lifetime....Keep in mind, some of us have had our childhoods robbed, we have been cheated out of a life, so every situation is different! I myself am making up for a lot, but, hey I'm living to 100, so I'm in no hurry, plus I'm not ever going to give up the inner child in me......are you SERIOUS?? Give D a break.....this is what keeps you YOUNG AT HEART  ~~~

As it has been said, we all have an inner child inside US, we all have one, it's in there...why keep the child hidden away, it only keeps your youth trapped inside you, (go ahead give it a try) "wink"  of course this is only D's opinion, and maybe that's why I'm such a goof, cause I really don't care what anyone thinks, if I want to run and skip, then I do, if I want to play with my grand kids or w/out lol I do, It's just me....it's "D"
 :-/ ~~~

But as a dear friend said this morning, and I quote him ~~~

"Its Principles before Personalities! ~~~ Thank you Robert

 Think about that ~~~ Principles before Personalities? WOW!!!!!! That's a great one.....Can we get so preoccupied with worrying about our own personality that we let our principles slip away from US??

Ask yourself that~~~~

I have been told, you look stupid, you act silly, you are a goof, and then I have been told, you are so kind and precious, your a doll, we love you!!!! So, whom shall I listen too? Do I care how I look? Do I care if I look silly? I'm not the most glamorous woman by far, I know that, I'm not D smartest for sure......(but in my d fense) I do clean up pretty darn good....LMBO....anywho, but I will say this, I now know my worth and I now love me for me....and I don't have to prove anything to anyone!!!!! I love God and he loves me....and I really don't care what other people think?

So with that said, if you want to live A Happy Healthy and Long Life.....then you have to start taking STEPS TO LIVE IN THE WORLD NOT OF THE WORLD....AND THEN, YOUR WORLD WILL CHANGE!!!!!!!!! You will see things in a different light, you won't care what others think, it really won't matter, and then you will see your worth!!!!!!! You are what MATTERS!!!!!!! You are Possible and with that nothing is impossible!!!!!!!!! Trust God not man...for man will let you down every time!!!!  Live Laugh Love Living 2/100 Loving Sunshine always!!!!!!!!!!!! You know I love ya, that's why I bug ya!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs "D" Butterfly Kisses  I Love You!!!!!!! Babysitting my 3 year old grandson, so gotta scoot........lol "wink"

P.S. I am not where I want to be YET ~~~ But I am NOT where I was ~~~ And for now, that is working for "D" ~~~

Is Someone taking up too much Space in D head?

‎"D" News from d home front.......It's time to say Good night and hit d hay, another busy day tomorrow!!! But here's d thought for the eve....

~Remember those who want to be in your life, will make an effort, those that don't won't.....We all get busy but it only takes a moment to acknowledge someone, to make the effort~

One doesn't always have to make the first move? Think about that.....maybe it's time to stop doing all D work!!! Let them GO!!!! With technology today at it's greatest levels, smart phones, face time, text, skype, tango, FB message, need I say more?

~You can love them, want them, need them, care for them, but stop stressing over them, they don't deserve your time, they don't deserve to take up space in your head, causing you undo STRESS, and STRESS causes you to be unhealthy~

Give that space to someone or something much more worthy!!!!! You and your body will thank you for it...trust me on this....You are so worth it!!!

You know I love Ya, that's why I bug ya!!!!!!!!! Live Laugh Love, Living to 100 Loving Sunshine Always!!!! I Love You!!!!!!!! ♥ Always have always will!!!!!!!!! P.S. Now go start Living your DREAM!!!!!!! One day one step at a time ~ We got this ~ Love and Hugs "D" Butterfly Kisses ♥ ♥

As these economic time get harder and times are changing, We as individuals need to start examining what is truly important in our lives!
