TUESDAY THINKING and thoughts of someone else!

Magnificent Beauty
Time and Time Again

Smile on... CHECK
Welcome to the day... check
Gratitude for the day... double check
Blessed meter... oh my too many checks!





Tuesday: Good morning Tuesday... this is the day that COB/MOM goes to NC for surgery on her leg to remove the rest of the CANCER that they missed ~
CANCER SUCKS
This morning is brilliant... I wonder how much of that has to do with the open air secondary to the tree knocking down of limbs/debris (from the neighbors tree overflow) I might just add!
Ready for Tuesday? I sure am! Much to do, much to do to avoid worrying about the surgery ~ Distractions are great when surgery is happening so far away on a loved one! I'm certain she will do fine once they get that shin numb, but oh boy I just hate that pain of the needle for her!
Almost #1 Buddy Pal's big 16 birthday... two more days... he reported in that he is now in "hard football practice" ~ Last night the Radford Bobcats met at midnight with the coach for practice on the field that lasted until 2:00AM ~ Talk about teaching focus and preparation for the coming football season! Bet he slept all day...
Time goes so quickly... the little ones grow up so fast, the Elders die so soon *or at least it seems*

I received this email and decided this was a good day to share it with all who enter here... you may have read it before, but it is rather profound when you actually think about it.  So for today, I wish you all that you dare to dream, and give you:

Something To Think About!

Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest:


Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use. (OK where to sign up)

However,this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.

The first set of rules would be:


Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.


You may not simply transfer money into some other account.


You may only spend it.


Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.


The second set of rules:


The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, "done".

Its over, the game is over! It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.


What would you personally do?


You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right?


Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right?
Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?


You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?


Now here is the best part:
THIS IS REAL LIFE MY FRIENDS... THIS IS IT!


Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it (everyone is running, doing, and otherwise too darn busy)


The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost; what we put off is just that, put off and lost.

Yesterday is forever gone. (OK, you have the memories, but not in the actual not in the let's get this party started mode)

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time...
WITHOUT WARNING. "Poof" gone... just like that.


SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?


Aren't they worth so much more than the same amount in dollars? Think hard now... really think!


Think about that, and always think of this:


Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.


STOMP ~ CELEBRATE ~ EMBRACE THE LIGHT


So take BEST care of yourself, dig deeply within, Love Deeply and enjoy life!  The fire is burning brightly, the embers are hot... with thoughts on the winds of hope in healing; strength in all ways to all those who enter here...

The fire is burning brightly, the embers are hot and smells of sweetgrass and sage fill the air this morning.


I am calling on all Warriors here, ready to send our best thoughts, our best wishes...

86,400 seconds everyday, no wonder it feels like time flys. Here I was trying to make everyday count, then not waste one moment of this day, now, I even know how many seconds there are to squander! Yipes! Half a day off today, and I am SO READY! At noon, I will have 43,200 seconds left to spend this day. I intend to play. Thinking about Dot and D'Vante, and sure the universe will give them both reason to CELEBRATE!
