    Some late night thoughts......

    Tell your loved one that you love them any and every chance you get....

    Just because your married doesn't mean your significant other doesn't deserve a thank you.....

    Don't dwell on what you don't have, but how wonderful it is to have what you do......

    Listen to the birds waking in the morning. Don't they sound so happy to be here.....

    Remember the small things in life can mean oh so much if we take the time to enjoy.....

    We all know the 'Pass It On' philosophy, so take it on it's first step, and Pass It On in your own family too. They're just as deserving as strangers, aren't they?

    They say "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me" We all know unkind words hurt forever. So think before speaking.....

    Odd post for me, but I guess I'm in that sort of reflective mood and felt like sharing some thoughts. The LOML passed away early Tuesday morning. I'll miss him so much, but I thank God for the 9 years we had. What a wonderful life we had together.

    Bonnie, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts. Even though this was expected, it doesn't make it any easier when the time comes. As Walt said, be kind to yourself. Accept offers of assistance whenever they are made. Lean on others whenever you feel the need.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts, all good advice for everyday living.

    Bonnie,
    My heart aches this morning because I have learned of the loss of the LOYL. Loosing a loved one is never easy, but Grace, Peace, Comfort, Mercy, and Love will all flow out to you from up above and from family and friends. I will be sure to pray for you and your family during this tragic time of your lives. You, Bonnie, add a lot to The Creek and the water has been nice just because you came wading through the waters. Thanks for touching our lives with the sharing of your life with the LOYL.
    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

    A beautiful and thoughtful message - words to live by. I am so sorry to hear of your loss, though. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

    Bonnie, I am glad to see that I am not the only one who share the same type of attitude.

    I will never be sad at what I have lost, only happy in what I had.
