A Celebration!!!

As many of you know, my youngest daughter, Kerith, was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago in January. She had successful surgery and is doing really well -- no thanks to a wild driver on a California  freeway yesterday causing her car to tumble three times!! She spent the afternoon in the Emergency Room, but was home last evening and feeling good all things considered!! But the wonderful thing I wanted to share with you today is a video made by the cancer center where she went for her surgery and starring none other than my lovely daughter!! I hope you can find a few minutes to watch it. It is an inspiration for all!

Happiness is not in our circumstance but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are. John B. Sheerin

 We had a sunny day this week -- ONE!! But it has been a mild, if gray, winter so far so I really can't complain other than I miss our colorful skies and glorious sunrises and sunsets -- all the more reason to take lots of photos when they are there!!! Here's some from earlier!!

We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the
same.   Carlos Castaneda

The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art of life is to have as many of them as possible. Montaigne

To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.  Ralph Waldo Emerson

To have someone to watch their favorite cartoon with.

To clean their face off so Mom doesn’t have to!

Five Rules To Remember In Life

1. Money cannot buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than on a bicycle. 

2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the ass-hole's name. 

3. If you help someone when they're in trouble, they will remember you when they're in trouble again. 

4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them. 

5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then neither does milk. 



THERE YOU HAVE IT...and remember, life is good.

Oh, yes, one more thing!

Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil says, "Oh, crap, she's up!!!
