Sometimes you think-and that is all you do-IN A NEW BEGINNING-YOU THINK AND THEN YOU ACT!
Last night- in heat of 104 degrees-we walked from Marcus & Tammy's house-across the street to the restarant , to happy hour. Little girls holding hands with the older little girls. So cute and so innocent. Everyone excited-but boy was it HOT! Not a sun scorching hot, but like a oven , just wave after wave when the breeze came. It was then that I thought back to the lecture my wife gave me, you see, that IRISH temper sometimes unleashes, and I get HOT! She has kept that temper in control, for 31 years! LOL. She does this through profound statements and words such as the above.
AND WHAT SHE SAYS IS TRUE-THINK BEFORE YOU ACT-ACT AS YOU BELIEVE-AND NEVER LET YOUR EMOTIONS RULE YOUR ACTIONS!
AS WE WALKED- THESE THOUGHTS CAME BACK TO ME. AND THE ABOVE IS SO TRUE. THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING-A NEW WAY OF LIFE-AND WE CELEBRATED THAT LAST NIGHT WITH THE ONES WE LOVE. THE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
SO THERE WILL BE TRIALS-THERE WILL BE OBSTACLES-AND THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS TO BE DEALT WITH- BUT THERE ALSO WILL BE LOVE-COMFORT-NEW FRIENDS-OLD FRIENDS-SHARING AND TEACHING-SEEING RESULTS, SEEING GROWTH- YOU SEE MY FRIENDS- THE POSITIVES FAR OUT WEIGH THE NEGATIVES.
SHERRY HAS SEIZED THE MOMENT-HER NEW BEGINNING WILL BE SHARED WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE. AND WHAT IS REALLY NEAT-IS THESE PEOPLE WILL BE STRANGERS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. LOOKING FOR HELP, TRYING TO SURVIVE AND NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
THE UNKNOWN IS THE JOY!LAST NIGHT- THOSE KIDS WERE EXCELLENT-SITTING THERE INTERACTING AMONGEST THEM SELVES LIKE THE ADULTS. MOMENTS LIKE THIS- WELL IT JUST MAKES ONE SO EMOTIONAL- I AM IRISH- AND WEAR IT ON MY SLEEVE. BUT THE ROOM WAS FULL AND PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AND COMMENTING.
WE ARE A FAMILY-ONE THAT SHARES LIFE -ONE THAT LOVES EACH OTHER!
THE CHANGE CAME YESTERDAY-THE CHOICE WAS MADE MONTHS AGO-THE TIME IS NOW-THE NEW CHAPTER HAS BEGUN-THROW OUT THE OLD-BRING IN THE NEW.
LAST NIGHT A TERRIFIC STORM CAME THROUGH-THE AIRPORT-DULLES IN OUR BACKYARD SO TO SPEAK-RECORDED GUSTS OF WIND 71 TO 85 MPH. THERE WAS ENDLESS LIGHTENING-RAIN GOING SIDEWAYS-TEMP. DROPPED FORM 93 TO 74 AT 10:30 pm. THUNDER-RAINING HITTING THE WINDOWS HARD!
THE OLD WAS BEING WASHED AWAY- WHAT WAS LEFT AFTER IT WAS OVER-WAS A FRESH, CLEAN AND COOLER TEMP. THE STICKYINESS WAS GONE.
NOW THE SUNLIGHT IS REFLECTING OFF THE YARDS AND STREETS. A CLEAN START TO A NEW DAY.
A CHANGE HAS COME!IT WAS AS IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE-THE KIDS SLEEPING THROUGH ALL OF THIS-DEB AND MIKE STILL AT TAMMY AND MARCUS'S HOUSE. THE THREE OLDER ONES WITH US- IN BED-TUCKED AWAY-DEPENDING ON US FOR SECURITY- YES THE CHANGE HAS COME- AND AS IN THE ABOVE- WE ARE ALL GOING TO ENJOY THE VIEW!
TO LOVE-TO HELP-TO SERVE-TO PROTECT-TO HEAL- THE CHANGE!
I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH ONE LAST MESSAGE-ONE THAT IS GOING TO BE THE MANTRA OF THE NEW BEGINNING-ONE THAT WILL HAVE A PROFOUND EFFECT ON OUR FAMILY AND THOSE WE COME IN CONTACT WITH.
READ IT WITH CARE-STORE IT AWAY IN YOUR HEART AND MIND-AND BELIEVE IT TO BE YOUR PATHWAY TO THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE!
LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE PLUS-----JUICE PLUS!!!!!!
WE ALL DO , AND HERE IS THE PROOF! LIVING AND CHANGE IS OUR WAY!
YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY AND A GREAT LIFE!
