<b> joy ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Three letter word (simple) But it can be infectious (and) if your around it you FEEL IT , and one really can't live without it. Just might be my favorite word. </b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"><b>I love reading in my Jesus Calling book . It gives me strength to read about JESUS and being encouraged . I think it is important to fellowship and feed our bodies with all that we can that is positive. </b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><i>This is what I read this morning. </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><i>Trust and Thankfulness will get you safely through this day . Trust protects you from worrying and </i></span><i>obsessing. Thankfulness keeps you from criticizing and complaining (Those sister-sins) that can so easily entangle you. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Keeping your eyes on Me(GOD) is the same thing as trusting me. It is a free choice that you must make thousands of times daily. The more you choose to trust me, the easier it becomes. Thought patterns of trust become etched into your brain. Relegate troubles to the periphery of your mind, so that I can be central in your thoughts. Thus you focus on ME. Entrusting your concerns into my care. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>HOW awesome is that ? I loved this . It gave me great encouragement. I have encountered in my life NAY SAYERS ... and people that will question ones JOY as being authentic (usually by a negative soul) But I do know that if you encounter that .. DO not let them shake your ground or take your joy . If someone says that your JOY can't be real or that your sweating GLITTER blah blah (pray for them) That is really all that we can do . I am constantly trying to build my positive circle and life defiantly has had its ups and downs but somehow I do choose to think the best in what people can become. If a person really wants change it is theirs for the taking. I am glad that I have joy in my heart. Blogging is apart of that positive circle as well. LOVE my blogging brothers and sisters. Have a blessed day and GO fourth and be JOYFUL. I have been reading your blogs. xoxoxo Sherry The Rusty Pearl </i>Sherry at The Rusty Pearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03520286983487648033noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123959499523944116.post-51740558567831552232014-06-12T11:41:00.000-07:002014-06-12T11:49:44.581-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wow ..Who knew turning 47 could be so amazing. A lot of changes are happening in my life and so many GOOD ones. One thing that has recently happened is I have taken a DNA test to find out my true ethnicity . I have been told that I am INDIAN my whole life.<br />
<br />
Well boy did I open a can of worms for some of the ol timers. They don't care about their heritage most and for the most part they are good hearted country people. When I talk to them about things they say aw... It don't matter or let it go LOL . Thus I am now doing the family tree. All of the kids in the family need to know who they are . We don't come from Royalty or anything. BUT Actually we do .. OUR FATHER IS KING !!!! That is what matters the most don't you think ? It is amazing to me how far in society we have come. Technology is a blessing and has connected us in so many ways. I give thanks for that. <br />
<br />
But now that I reflect on things. .. I kinda did know all along !!! I love love love people . I love GOD I love music. I have always collected Catholic Art and Jewish things. I have just been drawn to them. I love soul music and thank GOD I was never born with a heart that saw COLOR > I think people and culture are beautiful. All of my sweet beautiful friends are of all color AS AM I .<br />
<br />
I used to joke I bet there is a hispanic farmer somewhere with a white baby . I am Olive complected and My children all look like they are Italian or off of some VOGUE magazine LOL .<br />
<br />
Come to find out .... I have new cousins who have twins in the family from La . They are african american and when I got GWENS pictures .. I know now where beauty comes from in the family and the twins. She has taught me more of my family then anyone. I hope that our connection is of a great LOVE story . I hope to meet her someday and Love them all forever. When I saw her pictures I felt a connection . I can't explain it . MAYBE a little nudge from GOD.<br />
<br />
Now My father gave me my great grandmas name (The supposed Indian ) Well she is straight up HISPANIC .... Which explains a lot to me . I have been asked my nationality my whole life . LOVED IT .. HELLO her last name was MORA .. He said Now to think of it I think she spoke spanish when she got mad .. DAD...Dont you think I should know this stuff LOL ...<br />
<br />
Well the 23 & Me DNA test has linked me up with cousins that are 100% My family and it has been fascinating finding out WHO I am and I am 90 % European . Ancestors from Argentina , Mexio, Finland, Iceland, Ukraine, Islands (or Brittish Isles) It is amazing thinking of it all now..>MY body all along knew WHO I am ... and the things i love, the cultures I love, The friends I have .. All are apart of all of that. ITS awesome. NO wonder I adore the Sea ( MY PEOPLE ) have been surrounded by it . I am also Part Jewish ... Thus me collecting certain jewish Items I think . Catholic .. I have collected Catholic Art forever.<br />
<br />
So I am who GOD has made me .. I am most of all full of love and thankful. I embrace it and thankful for it and I now know a little more about ME ... Thanks to those who have embraced me as family . I truly think we are put on this world to love ..Not for anything else.<br />
<br />
So with a thankful heart .. Maybe you can all follow along in this journey AS I DISCOVER THINGS ABOUT ME. ...

<br />
I have just had a time off from things ..I am on this journey of Peace still and it seems my focus has shifted in life. I am truly back on my list. I have totally shaded the YES disease. You know the one ...The people pleasing YES to everything . I now say well that is really not good for me. I tell ya , since i have taken on this approach life has been so much STRESS FREE lets just say LOL .<br />
<br />
This is me and my friend Jocelle enjoying some time at the BEACH . The fun thing about meeting her a truly sweet SOUL who is on fire for the LORD and she is helping to raise her grand baby and just a giver to all who love her. She has moved down by the sea and how we met is truly GOD'S Plan. Her mom another sweet soul. .. MS. Judy met me thru The Rusty Pearl . Then her daughter moved near me. We all saw each other and hung out and have been friends every since. I just love when GOD has a hand in things. I just have had so much on my plate and decided to kick back a little while and SUBMERGE myself in what I love and what makes me happy. I Feel like my soul is smiling . I gave myself a much needed time out. I think I will every so often to stay focused and centered. I figure whereas I am not complaining , I just needed ME TIME A Happy Me helps to make everyone else Happier LOL . I have had a permanent ME day for a few months and WE are all better for it.<br />
<br />
Hope that your Summer has started off AH---Mazing and that you will continue to SHINE --here are some more fun pics doing what I love ...THE SEA<br />

Winding road photos found on Mike Giancola's Portfolio<br />
(Internet) <br />
<br />
On the drive in this morning I turned off the radio. I felt a slight chill in the air but I could hear the wind and the sound of myself breathing. For some reason my eye sight was not as blurry and time had changed and the commute was a bit different and darker . I first passed a little bird sitting on the road and I found myself saying a little prayer and slowing down. All while thinking why is that little bird just sitting there (is it hurt, tired? ) then It flew off and a sense of relief came over me. Then I noticed a billboard sign that I pass every single day and I saw different colors on that sign and thought HMMM. Then I found myself praying inside of me for all those I pray for > Family and friends and I looked to the left to see things I normally don't see . Was I more conscious of things this morning ? Was I not as rushed ? Then I thought LORD thanks for slowing me down this morning to see the things you wanted me to see … TO pray for those you wanted me to pray for. GOD'S blessings really are all around us. I stopped to get gas and this man that was clearly before me .. SAID hey go ahead. I turned back around and said Thank you and he smiled knowing he did something good and kind. I felt different this morning. I can't really put my finger on it. BUT I know that GOD is saying BE AWARE.. I think that is the message that I will pass on for today. I loved the DRIVE IN this morning.<br />
<br />

SO I guess whatever direction your going today .. BE AWARE . I even noticed a sticker on the car in front of me saying GOD listens .. HOW awesome is that . Have a blessed day . I hope that your day is filled with blessings and GOD surrounds you with peace love and joy . PAY IT FORWARD ..<br />
<br />
THANKS FOR SHARING SOME OF YOUR DAY WITH ME. I TRULY APPRECIATE IT .<br />

What I was dreaming is that our GOD is a BIG GOD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This world was made for all of us to be neighbors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think of the sea and how it is for most part -(OTHER Than drilling ) and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some industrial things etc..For the most part it is Untouched. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It can be scary and it can be beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you listen to her closely you can feel her story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
IF you don't listen to her closely </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will feel her FURY </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you take care of her .>She can lead you and take you places</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think we should respect her </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Images were found on line and I hope that you enjoy them. I am </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a great big world </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And Most of all we have a great big GOD </div>

<br />
Found Picture off of the internet<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you have SHIPWRECKED FAITH? OR Do you have ANCHOR faith?<br />
<br />
Just soak that in for a minute and look at that picture. GOD clearly sent him help . .. SEE the other ships in the picture (during this storm) which we all have. Or are they in the midst of their own storm and they all just have SHIPWRECKED Faith (praying but not truly trusting that all will be okay). I find that often times people do not realize you can be your own deciding witness . I had a pastor one time that I visited in the hospital . He was diagnosed with Cancer. I said why didn't you tell anyone ? He said I want to be my own deciding witness. I know GOD can and will HEAL me. The others will be kind and pray but in their soul and self they really will be thinking poor Pastor and be some what doubtful. He said I know what I know and I am and believe I am healed. (And he was). The others would of had Shipwrecked faith ( how I see it and HEY what do I know really) just my thinking LOL<br />
<br />
And He had ANCHOR faith. I have never looked at that the same BEING your own deciding witness.<br />
<br />
Well I am trying this year to spread the word and Love of our father in heaven and I thank you for this time you spent with me. I will be painting some furniture soon . I have not felt like it LOL So hey GOD is surely proud though …We are thinking and blogging about him.<br />
<br />
Love, Sherry and have a SUPER blessed weekend.<br />

Hey friends… First of all..check out this little nudge from GOD himself ( I have no doubt )<br />
<br />
I was walking and FULL stop in my walk I look down and this was what I see. A beautiful Leaf which I did not disturb. I wanted to leave it for others to hopefully see. It looks like a cross. I was just frustrated with BOOMER . (BAD ON A LEASH ) and then he passed this and I did a double take whipped out the phone took a picture and all of a sudden.. I cleaned out the clutter (YOU know thoughts that don't matter ) the ones that shouldn't be in the BOX. .. So then I began to focus on how beautiful it was and the peace and started humming .. OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD .. I hummed it all day and reflected on things of the week and blessings and the LORD. That one leaf did all of that for me… LOOK AT what I saw on my walk .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2F0v_3VK0oY/UtbkNpHzcsI/AAAAAAAACIk/HeYslTnX6Fo/s1600/1525485_730421200302335_2120665986_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2F0v_3VK0oY/UtbkNpHzcsI/AAAAAAAACIk/HeYslTnX6Fo/s1600/1525485_730421200302335_2120665986_n.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I just stood back and watched them as I walked and I prayed and soaked in my surroundings.<br />
<br />
I think PRAYER IS KEY .. The words came to me.. LEAD and FOLLOW ME .<br />
I don't know why .. BUT isn't that awesome. Lead by example maybe . FOLLOW ME (from GOD)<br />
Thats how I want to look at it. What do you think . It is pressed on my heart.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and in the end as you can see HE got better on the leash. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think sometimes it is okay to pray for simple things too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
GOD is in all things big and small. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a prayer request for a girl (Who I do not know)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A friend asked me to pray for her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is having a hard time and just gave up her baby . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just know this must be hard for all concerned . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She did a selfless thing and I ask that you join me in prayer and not judgment for her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for any prayers sent her way . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #073763;">Good Morning my fabulous friends. First of all ..ISN'T GOD just so good. I am on this journey of love and peace and it has made a difference in my life, My sleep, My appearance, My soul, My family. I can say this . I am looking at this life like a BOX. It starts out empty. WE have to fill it up. YOU can only take so much with you around every day and its very important that you only put in what you need and are willing to carry and how will it bless others.

<span style="color: #073763;">Earlier today someone really ruffled my feathers and I was so happy with my response to that person. I never dwelled and I even called that person up and said HEY I am going to church tonight do you want to go. The amazing force of GODS love was felt in their response. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I am learning that the only true thing we can do in life is control OURSELVES in fact i think my Facebook status today was ( one thing we can do in 2014 is we can control is ourselves. ) . I think as humans once we get the fact that we are in control of our JOY that life will become so much happier. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I don't know what moved me to blog about this . BUT you know this thinker here LOL I blog what ever i feel about that day ..SO this is where I am at. Right along with DRINKING Water these days LOL I was told take half your weight and that is the amount of oz of water you should be drinking. IT has changed MY skin and I feel FULL all of the time so hey this RUSTY PEARL is sharing the news. I hope that my little post finds that your christmas was blessed and your new years is bright . I truly am blessed to share my life and apart of me with each of you . LETS ROCK This 2014 </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">DO you see it? I know it is probably the traces of air craft -- etc. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">BUT when I see these I kind of consider it </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">my nudge that GOD is near me </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">HE of course is in my heart. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">But its just a sign. I say give me a sign LORD and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">usually when I look up ..</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>

Day 2 Picture ... I found this old shell.... I took pictures of all sides... YOU cant really see it but its very weathered and has little holes in it. Prompted me to hold it feel it ...TOUCH it and appreciate the textures of it and the edges etc.. I then thought ..WOW wonder where it came from. What journey it had been thru to be now in my hands.. What it survived .. made me feel thankful. So this i will write in my book for Day 2.. I have now placed it at the end of my desk (shell) desk that is a constant project LOL .. BUT it has a home...and FREE 90 FREE cant put a price on that kind of beauty or GIFT from GOD .............The simple things.......<br />

I am ever so near you, hovering over your shoulder, reading every thought . People think that thoughts are fleeting and worthless, but yours are precious to me. (says the LORD) ..<br />
<br />
Isnt that awesome to think about GOD being near us .. I really do feel like I know GOD . I talk to him daily . I do have a relationship with him. I loved when I read this .. Made me feel accountable for my thoughts and more conscious of my thoughts.. OUT with the YUCKY and only putting positive in sort of thing. ........................Thanks for following along.. HUGS and going to start a paint project this week YAY ................................... GOD bless and have a great rest of the day ...<br />

HUGS Thanks for letting me show my Thanksgiving memories with you </span>Sherry at The Rusty Pearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03520286983487648033noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123959499523944116.post-739263721026492192013-11-26T09:20:00.000-08:002013-11-26T09:20:11.558-08:00Thanksgiving Blessing <span style="color: #783f04;"> GOD IS GOOD </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;">Let me start with this . My neighbor has a cat that came up to me the other night just screaming and meowing frantically. I told TOMMY why is she doing that ? She must be hungry or scared of the rain . I fed her and she was fine. THIS was SUNDAY . That SUNDAY afternoon we had our boat beside the house but the homeowners association had a fit so we moved it . </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"> This morning I am walking out of the house and a strange car is beside my neighbors house just sitting there. I called the neighbor and said this car is sitting in front of your house etc. She said YALL moved your boat. I think my cat had kittens in there. We can't find them . OMGOSH when i say I felt crushed Believe me that is an understatement. I get on the phone to call my nephew to go and check the boat (NO ANSWER) call my niece (SHE IS ASLEEP NO ANSWER ) Text my sister she is at work NOW stressed in tears nearly too) It has been poring rain and freezing. MY HEART Just sank and Now I know what the mamma cat was trying to tell me. </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;">Tommy (who is never sick) Calls me out of the blue . HE is all of a sudden ill and his boss said they were slow etc. for him to go home. I tell him about the Kittens. (he just felt so sad for them too) He said I am going home to get Kenzie (she is out of school for thanksgiving break ) They went to see if the kittens were in the boat and if they were ALIVE . </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;">I get a call and he said do you hear that ? ? FOUR little kittens STARVING< RAINED ON and COLD but they are alive. </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;">I said TOMMY y'all saved those kittens. I believe that GOD had a hand in him coming home and saving them. Kenzie got towels put them in the garage they found the mamma kitten and now they are in the house safe secure with the mamma. I called the neighbors EVERYONE is just full of Praise and JOY for them .. AND they are ALIVE </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;">I have a thankful heart. YOU can see it in the mammas face. I am full of JOY . </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;">Thank you GOD and Thank you TOMMY & Kenzie for going over there and looking for them and bringing them to their mamma. </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;">ISNT that just awesome ! We will keep one (when they are old enough) </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;"> HAPPY </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I think JESUS will be proud of us talking about him today !!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I was driving to work and on 2920 There was a huge </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">congestion of traffic. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Naturally My daughter at the last minute is MOM I need a poster board for a project that is due today </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I need this for today mom </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Did I mention we are training a student at work and I need to be there too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I did not have time for this traffic !! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Felt the frustration kick in..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Then I had my radio on KSBJ and the music started playing </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I love that gentle NUDGE from GOD</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">All of a sudden during this traffic I thought well </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">This is more time to talk and listen and pray and spend with GOD </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">It was sprinkling out side and I thought UGH We </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">really can't afford anymore RAIN .. Then I thought </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">WOW I was being a NEGATIVE NELLY </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">this morning. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">SO I took a deep breath and Prayed and Got the poster board and kept on </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">keepin on and made it to work. Come to find out the student will be here at 10 My boss said have her to come in around 10 . That worked out and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">After all was said and done . MY POSTIVE(NESS) kicked in </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I then found myself saying </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Im sorry LORD </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I think GOD will be proud I openly apologized and just breathed it all in and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Maybe he felt I really needed to be focused on him </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CUZUhHJJhuo/UoYsPQXgjUI/AAAAAAAACBc/lFsnZvBuXdo/s1600/photo-8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CUZUhHJJhuo/UoYsPQXgjUI/AAAAAAAACBc/lFsnZvBuXdo/s320/photo-8.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I was driving Kenzie to school this morning and as I was leaving her school I noticed birds on a wire. I sat there a minute just looking at them and it occurred to me that some birds sit alone. I looked back at the kids entering into the school and I noticed that most high schoolers were in groups and then there were the select few that were solo.<br />
<br />
HMMM I began to stare at the birds. SO MUCH SO that the honking started behind me. I was so intrigued that I drove back around to look at the birds one more time.<br />
<br />
I got these bird pics off of google but this was the exact same vision i was seeing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a-GDI2fLE4w/UoYs_cIY62I/AAAAAAAACBo/ggiiWZze1Zc/s1600/photo-7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a-GDI2fLE4w/UoYs_cIY62I/AAAAAAAACBo/ggiiWZze1Zc/s320/photo-7.JPG" width="307" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Notice that one bird to the left : ( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought it was just sad </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I thought of the high school and those kids that sat alone and why is society like this. WHY are some (Even animals) more social than others? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sure that I can google a great answer or ask someone the correct answer to this question. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However .. YOU know ME .. I want everyone to PLAY NICE LOL </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even the birds LOL </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I noticed the bird on the left Might be the smart bird. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is definitely either PREGGERS or it eats more than the others. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HMMM So I guess even with HUMANS we have our reasons. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As silly as it all sounds. I don't like people having to sit alone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to tell Kenzie to go and talk to that kid that was sitting there with their head down. I know we never know what is behind closed doors but </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am all about LOVING others </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO . I guess if you see that coworker or that person sitting alone today </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe we might just be the difference that they need </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe they need us to be the person to break that ice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if they just want to be alone HEY we can respect that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HOWEVER greatness gets achieved in NUMBERS don't you think . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess my mission and thoughts today are ..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NO ONE GOES AT IT ALONE ON MY WATCH TODAY </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promise if i could of scooted that bird over to the other birds I would OF !!! LOL </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
TOODLES .. Hey food for thought </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iWHIi5D5uic/Un0ZBq2bsQI/AAAAAAAAB_k/w8mFKuMeRVE/s1600/photo-33.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iWHIi5D5uic/Un0ZBq2bsQI/AAAAAAAAB_k/w8mFKuMeRVE/s1600/photo-33.JPG" height="298" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
See I am a visual person... AN OPTOMIST... LOVER of PICTURES AND LIFE<br />
<br />
I have been doing a lot of thinking about (WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENT IF I HAD A DO - OVER ? )<br />
<br />
Life is so fast paced and I am a people watcher for sure. Sometimes I go and sit on the SEAWALL and just watch the hustle and bustle of it all and the people and their expressions. YOU can see who is struggling, Who is having hard times, WHO hates life, Who is sick. I find that I can see this in people. I have that GIFT and I am usually DEAD On !!! But lately I have been thinking What would I do over. WELL First of course The obvious decisions - Dont jump into things without thinking clearly etc SORT of life things. BUT If I could do what I love and get paid for it . DANG that would be ideal !! I have always known that my calling was orphans. I have never worked with orphans ( I married one) But I always have had this soft place in my heart for a child who had no mother . I feel something in my soul when I hear of them and read about them ETC. I searched for years to find something near where I lived and NOTHING . SO I do toy drives and other things to do what I can , I PRAY constantly for those I see or read about . BUT once life happened, kids family I never moved anywhere that I could of been of service. I THINK now I would do that differently --I would head there with my family in TOW for sure. WHAT would you do ? NOT that we are not loving and thanking GOD for our JOURNEY because I am full aware of my blessings. I just think had I known different I may have taken that path. HEY and still MAY someday.<br />
<br />
I do feel that there is so much heartache in this world BUT I am a glass half full kind of girl. SO whereas I am fully aware of the NEWS and our own life situations and heartaches I think THERE Is something GOOD in every day . I think once we think like that OUR life and situation will change for the right and best direction. I think that the rest of the time GOD has me here on EARTH I am best to head in that direction and concentrate on the things I can change and NOT dwell so much on the things I can not change. What is your thoughts on that? See if you were in my living room or driving with me in my car. THESE random thoughts well they just POP up and I would say HEY what do you think about this or that? I have people in my life that are loners and I think SOOOO SAD . I LOVE LOVE LOVE PEOPLE they amaze me and the more I can love or hug I FEEL COMPLETE . It only hit me that way in the past TEN years or so I think . MORE focused on that in the last THREE. SOMETHING SHIFTED >>>HMMM COULD IT BE 40 ? Maybe but I love that part of life. PEOPLE are amazing, The good ones are LOL .. WELL just a thinking today and was wanting to have a conversation .. What would you do different?<br />
<br />
UPDATE ON THE ANIMALS> BOOMER and JELLY BEAN -<br />

I was thinking about the SEA and the way it makes me feel inside to see it and Hear it. I began praying as I was driving to work and thanking GOD for all his Art work. JUST look around !!! I thought of All things SEA (as you all know) I have a relationship with that ocean . I feel connected to it. I breathe when I am near it . I feel it , I see it and IT is my life long dream to live RIGHT NEXT TO IT someday . I am driving distance... BUT if you ask me NOWHERE is Close ENOUGH .. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue;">This little picture inspired me to think about GOD even more. I saw that life raft just on the post there ..Thinking how symbolic it is to GOD just watching and waiting. I know he is proud of us . Just think it is never too late for us to say GOD ..Throw me that RAFT. Sometimes we just need a little NUDGE to remember GOD has this. I dont know what made me think of this today. BUT it GOT me into my bible this morning and I was gently reminded (NUDGED) of GOD'S ever loving GRACE and LOVE and just look what all he gave us... I am going to be in a mode of GIVING thanks all day. </span><br />
