Happy Anniversary To Ones We Love.

We never know
Or fully realize
How sweet and kind our parents are,
How gentle and how wise.


We simply take for granted,
From day to passing day,
Each sacrifice they make for us
In their own loving way.


But then we grow and finally learn,
The way that children do,
How much their love has really meant,
How thoughtful they've been, too -


And so this comes with all the thanks
You both deserve and more.
For there aren't two dearer parents
Than the one this post's for


Happy Anniversary!
All our love.

Let's Be Thankfull All Year Long.

OK I admit, I have been completely neglecting my blog...
I could tell you 100 different reason why
I have not been posting. Each of them would be true.
So I will just go with what I have been
thinking about the pass few weeks.

I have been doing allot of studying
and reading the pass few weeks.
My brain has felt like it wants to explode!

We are coming to the time of year,
were all the stress kicks into high gear.
I thought it was a great time to
reflect and to be thankful.


Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Have a great week !
