I love meeting new people, especially those who inspire me.

Friday i met a new friend who i could see offers her time for all the causes that mean something to her.

She did inspire me to think about doing some of that as well.

I love seeing a spirit that shines beyond ones own life and she offers just that.

I enjoyed listening to my new friend and a long time good friend talk about people and life and it is refreshing to see such honesty and candor.

I hope we all try and be good to others and offer something back to the communities which we appreciate.

Be well everyone, and thanks for reading my blog.

2012- Welcome and God Bless

First, welcome to the new year!

God bless everyone in their efforts to move forrward in life and realize and embrace the important parts of you and your life relationships.

Not to get all philosophical but here are some things i suggest we may look at for this year.

• Have a thankful spirit and attitude
• Have a generous outlook on life and think of someone other than yourself each day (maybe do a good deed)
• Thank God for your blessings- (While we all have challenges, God blesses us daily in ways we don't even realize)
• Don't sweat the small stuff - The big stuff is challenging enough
• Love those who are important to you and let them know regularily
• Smile and have a good laugh (it is truly good for the soul)
• Get a good nights sleep!
• Be silly now and then, it's ok

So now that i have said my thoughts, I wish all those who read this peace, success in your endeavours (spelled the Canadian way), and good health and many blessings going forward.

Thanks for taking the time to read my words.
