I want to take this time to wish everyone a most Happy and Prosperous 2010!  I found this lovely poem and I wanted to share it will all the great people in O50!

On New Year's Day and the whole year through,
I hope the kindness you've given to others
returns many times to you.  May hope,
love, and warmth be in your heart's
possessing, and may the New Year

many blessings.

Happy New Year!!!

Thank you to everyone for helping me feel at "home" here!

I joined O50 in March of this year, I was looking for something, not sure what, but I have found a home of sorts here, with an extended family  from all over this world of ours, everyone has made me feel welcomed!

The exciting part of all this, is that I get to meet new family members everyday and learn who they are and their life story!  Yes there is bickering, but then a family is not perfect. LOL (sorry J)

So to all my FRIENDS, far and near, may this Holiday Season find you in a good and safe place, surrounded by love and happiness! 

Wish Upon A Star, You Never Know Who or What Is Around The Corner!

A little reminder to everyone - :)

To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, RESPECT!

Optimist vs. Pessimist

A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom pessimist.

Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday their father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.

That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly.

"Why are you crying?" the father asked.

"Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken." answered the pessimist twin.

Passing the optimist twin's room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" he asked.

To which his optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!  I know there will be some who will ask, what is there to be thankful for? 

Where do I start?  The moments that have lead you here, good, bad, sad, crazy, laughing, loving, crying, forgiving, all these moments, we should be thankful for!

For as bleak as life may seem to some or as wonderful to others, we all need to be thankful for the breath we breathe, the loving people in our lives, the smiles and joy of our family, the future, the possibility of what life has to offer!!!

A very dear Friend, keeps telling me I am always an optimists, and I keep agreeing, even after all the pain of a failed marriage, the death of my Dad, and disappointments in my life, I am still optimistic that life is truly wonderful!


And yes, there will be one or two who will say,  that is a load of xxxx, and I say to you, this is my blog,  go post one yourself!!!  :)

Always Sweets, well I try to be!  LOL
