I guess we've all had people in our lives that try to rain on our parade so to speak. They try to take away the JOY we have in doing the things we love. I've met some that never have a good thing to say about most anything. It seems that no matter what you say, they want to rain on your parade.
I'd rather open the window and let some sunshine in, that to sit in misery and watch the parade pass me by. We have to focus on our dreams and where we're going and never let anyone stop us.
I found this little joke that illustrates what I'm try to say. Hope you enjoy it and have a little laugh.
Don't let people rain on your parade...
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:
Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.. You're crazy to go to Rome .So, how are you getting there?
We're taking Easy jet, was the reply. We got a great rate!
Easy jet, exclaimed the hairdresser.. That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?
We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste.
Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump.
We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope.
That's rich, laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it.
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome .
It was wonderful, explained the woman, not only were we on time in one of Easy jet's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a 5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!
Well, muttered the hairdresser, that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope.
Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.
Oh, really! What'd he say?
He said: Who was the moron who cut your hair?

Have a terrific Tuesday everyone!
PRAYER REQUEST
I receive a note from DDIL# 4 yesterday saying: Just talked to my mom and the results of her tests came back showing a mass of some sort in her thyroid.. She will need surgery to remove and hoping the surgery will be next week…
Please join me in praying for her mom that she will have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Hopefully the surgery will find her feeling much better and she will be just fine.

COUNTING MY GIFTS
I love a parade,the tramping of feet,
I love every beat I hear of a drum.
I love a parade, when I hear a band
I just want to stand and cheer as they come…
I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts. I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day.
577. for music to march to
578. for parades that celebrate
579. for bands that cheer us
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Why march to the beat of your own drummer when you can skip?
