Kiss me kate, Nursing home "romance", When hearts unite,

COME ON AND KISS ME KATE

Liz wanted a kiss from our sweet Kate, the day this picture was taken.

What can I say, these two gals love each other,
Kate nearly drags me through the doors and down the nursing home hall , in order to jump up on Liz's bed and snuggle with her. (obedience work decorum,nearly abandoned, I understand)
My heart melts, I love Kate, and I love seeing her touch Liz's heart.
I am blessed ,to share in the way Kate warms and brightens the lives of others.

I don't really know Liz, I just know she loves dogs ,so I have been bringing one of our dogs to see her for over three years now. Roo-die(our own life saving hero) was the initiator of our nursing home adventure, is in semi retirement, due to his own aging issues. Angel, and now Kate, carry his torch of love and compassion, for others

I often feel I am the one who is blessed.

Does it take a bit of time on my part? Does it inconvenience me? Yes, but so worth my efforts.

Here is what I have learned over the years, life is more about giving, than getting.
The more you give, actually the more you get.
One thing, your heart and eyes need to be open .

Look for ways to give, no matter how small. It can be just giving a few minutes of your day going to a Nursing home, and becoming the vehicle and silent "partner" ,allowing a bit of cheer touch someones heart, when your dog warms someones heart. Hey I even "smuggled "in a baby chicken once, so be creative ( with permission of course) .

CHOOSING TO GIVE
Our lives are filled with choice, how we choose, often has a profound effect, not only on us but on others.

Be wise in what you choose, I heartily recommend choosing to give .

Then keep your eyes and heart open, as the getting often comes in on tip toe, and in ways you cannot imagine.
Even a cup of water to a dry and thirsty heart will return to fill yours to overflowing.

May you be blessed with a wonderful day.

I am going to be adding some new recipes to my farm funnies blog for Harvest and All Hallow's Eve. so check it out soon if you are HUNGRY

Life is a box of chocolates or good u tube finds

Don't these chocolates look yummy?

I have a dear new friend who is often heard saying, nothing tastes as good as being thin feels...

I whole heartily agree, so instead of just eating a chocolate, why not let your whole life be a box of chocolates, yummy and wonderful, every day of your life. Then just like it is fun to share chocolates with those you love, share your life with others and you will have even more fun.
Who knows, perhaps what you share may end up as a post in someones blog, you just never know.

As a professional health and business coach, I am often blessed by what others share with me.

One of my clients recently forwarded an e-mail , to me, of a story she enjoyed.

She took the time to share a story that was said to be a true story about Beth Moore.

The name rung a bell in my memory, so I thought I would see what urban legends had to say about the story.

It was a wonderful story, , but urban legends had nothing to say about it.

Sometimes this gives me a heads up, tada it probably is true.

Out of curiosity, I thought I would check out the name Beth Moore.

Beth Moore, is a real person and further more she has several video clips at u-tube

I thought I share one of the links that I enjoyed

HEADSTUFF...it hurts

'Whenever God Closes One Door
He Always Opens Another,
Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway'

This was in a forward sent to me by a young friend
The title was called Lemons and Sugar.
Thank you Amanda.

It can be scary to have a door closed can't it ? Especially if it seems the death of your dreams.

It can be just as scary to have one open. The unknown, what "lurks" there?

Did you know all of us have 6 basic needs?

Did you know we each make three decisions every moment?

When that door closes, and that door opens, what our world model/core values are will
determine the choices we make.

Lemon or lemonade.

We can choose a destination or we can choose our destiny.

We can choose to let our emotions empower us or dis empower, perhaps even destroy us.

Our society has "EQUIPPED" us with the concept that "IF" only we had the right tools,
resources, (parents) life experiences, training, environment, whatever.
Then we could

DO, BE, OBTAIN, ACCOMPLISH, or whatever.

If this was true, then how about those individuals who didn't receive these "blessings?"

Against great odds these people rise above their circumstances.

What is the deciding factor? It is a choice.

There is a song from my Irish heritage that I love, my favorite line is...

You take the highroad, I'll take the low road, and I'll get to Scotland , a fore ye.

It's not the circumstances life has dealt you, not any of the other advantages.

What matters and makes the difference, is what is in your heart.

Right now I am in pain, I wish things were different, but they are not.

Should I succumb to the bleakness one Dr. once told me, absolutely not.

Take a few minutes, if you only had a few hours left to live, who would you call, what would you

say, what would you do? What do you choose?

Give yourself a new world view. You are special, why not live special, and learn to give, where true fulfillment comes.

Now for some fun( head over to my farm funnies and check out how to make slime.
