Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
April 4th is Walk Around Things Day. Today is an important day to avoid problems and risks, by simply walking around the potential problem. You wouldn't walk under a ladder, would you? Then, it is also wise to walk around objects, especially those that pose risk or danger.
Walk around things can also be used figuratively. It is also wise to walk around, or avoid, topics issues, and problems that are sticky, may provoke an argument, or are not readily solved.
If ever was a day to Walk Around Things, today is that day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.
Frederick B. Wilcox
I’m not much of a risk taker and tend to walk around a lot of things if I’m not sure about them. But there are times when it is good to take a risk.
One article that I read put it this way: Life is a journey that’s only traveled once; don’t waste it. Today’s moments quickly become tomorrow’s memories. Appreciate today for what it is and make your time count. Make it memorable. Don’t let your coulda’s and shoulda’s of yesterday determine your can’s and will’s of today. Live your life so that you never have to regret the chances you never took, the love you never let in, and the gifts you never gave out.
We take chances every time we give a little of ourselves to others. We take chances when we step forward to help someone. We take chances every time we care about someone. Being a parent is a risk. One I’d never want to change for sure.
Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day.
The pictures today are more of my visit with DS#4 and family this past week. I hope to be taking some new ones for you soon. Our snow is completely gone for the moment and hopefully warmer weather will bring out some buds and blooms very soon.
I hope you all have a fantastic Friday! Take a chance, make it a good one!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise.

I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for a little over a year and have now reached 1500 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1547. for second chances that come around every second of each day
1548. for opportunities to take a risk
1549. for the memory of a beautiful sunrise that I get to keep forever
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
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!
You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

Such great pictures of the family Ma! Glad to hear your snow has melted, let's keep it that way through the rest of spring! I'm not much a risk taker either, but you are right, being a parent and chosing to be one is a big risk taking task!

I LOVE the Wayne Gretzky quote... so true! The pictures were great, MA.
Great pictures of you and your family. The weather has been nice here all week, but looks like now it's going to rain, ha. Take care. Jean
Walk around things...you know, that is a good thing to think about.
What a sweet family. xx
