Relax

It’ll come together

God has everything

Under Control

We grown-ups don't have enough fun.

I think it's because we get more out of practice

with every passing year.

Our bosses, our insurance companies,

credit bureaus and the IRS

aren't exactly "playmates," after all.

Now my children, on the other hand —

who don't yet know the process of growing up

is like climbing the stairs of self-denial —

approach life is if everything that's not

"play" is just an interruption.

Where I see a yard full of dead leaves

and a wasted Saturday... they see joyous revelry.

Where I see unproductive hours in front

of a video game or TV screen,

they see a whole new world.

Both are true, of course, but,

their perspective is a lot more fun than mine.

Reed Galin

GOOD MORNING !

It is so true ! We don’t have enough fun. We try to take on the everyday tasks ahead and forget to throw in some FUN time. I am getting better and better at it for sure, but I still have a long way to go.

If we could see through the eyes of a child where things are simple and uncomplicated, life would be more enjoyable. I think it is the main reason we all love being with and watching children. Their SMILES can brighten just about any day.

The weekend starts after work for me as I’ll head for the campground and there will be 3 lovely little ones waiting for me. DS#1 and his family started their weekend one day early and are already there.

Out of all my grand’babes’ I now see these 3 the most, but it doesn’t mean they are more loved or appreciated than any of the others; they are just more available since I started camping with them. And I am so glad I’ve the opportunity to be there.

Next weekend there will be 4 more of my grand’babes’ join us and on the 4th of July there will be 3 more come in for the day. Every one is meeting and or staying at the campground for our grand family reunion.

It is FRIDAY and Friday’s are always good days, so I’ll be off to work with a ***BIG SMILE*** for sure. I’ll see you all on Sunday evening with an update of the weekend and of course a few quotes or poems .

Chillax ! Relax and Enjoy !

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

There are no diamonds

if coal is not crushed and heated...

There is no oil,

if olives are not squeezed...

No wine, if grapes are not pressed...

No perfume, if flowers are not crushed...

Have you felt any pressure in life today?

Don't worry...

God is just bringing out the best in you!

May your summer months be joyous and fun…

And above all, blessed with love,

Ma
