What a Beautiful Day !!!

Today the sun is shining and it is a beautiful day! I have been working on my images on the computer since I awoke, breaking only for breakfast and soon for shower etc before heading off to work for a 1:30 pm start. I hadn't initially thought of posting today, but yesterday I received an email that touched me and I have since forwarded to many of you. The title was "The Wooden Bowl" and if any of you would like to receive it, just leave a request in the comment section of this blog and I will be happy to forward it.

The story of an elderly grandfather living with his family is both sad and happy and definitely heart rendering. In the end the author (unknown; at least to me) mentions things he has learned.

--you can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle 4 things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights;

--making a living is not the same as making a life;

--life sometimes gives you a second chance

--you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back sometimes

--if you pursue happiness, it will elude you, but if you focus on your family, our friends, the needs of others, your work, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you;

--whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision;

--even when I have pains, I don't have to be one;

--every day you should reach out and touch someone;

--people love that human touch - holding hands, a warm hug or a friendly pat on the back;

and lastly I learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Wishing you all a live of love, peace, and joy and continued learning.

Live well,

Dennis
