Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Heartfelt sentiments abound on June 9th, Profess Your Love Day. Although this may not be exactly an official greeting card store occasion, it marks a wonderful opportunity for placing personal calls, sending electronic salutations and offering face to face utterances of devotion.
If you love someone, June 9th is the ideal time to speak up. It's Profess Your Love Day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
If you love someone, you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just passes you by.
Julia Roberts
I think that it’s always a good time to profess you love to your sweetheart or your dear ones. We really don’t or shouldn’t need a special day for that. What can be more beautiful than telling someone you love them? It's not only a rewarding experience for the receiver but also for the giver. For some, telling some one that you love them is easy as pie. For others it’s very hard to say those three words, I Love You .
Good intentions get swallowed up by the ordinary chores of living. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into years. Suddenly, the opportunity to brighten a life is gone. We are left with regrets about what we felt but left unsaid. It doesn't have to be that way.
There are many kinds of love. My love of my faith, family and friends are the most important things in my life. Never a day goes by but that I say I love you.
After a cooler day with rain here yesterday it looks like we’ll be warming back up into the high 70’s and lower 80’s this week. I had a wonderful day yesterday celebrating DS#3’s and DD’s birthdays. I’ll have pictures of that to share later on when their actual birthdate comes.
I hope you all have a great start to this new week. Happy Monday!
Love one another and you will be happy. It’s as simple and as difficult as that.

Love vs. Obligation
A house is a house is a house-until love comes through the door, that is. And love intuitively goes around sprinkling that special brand of angel dust that transforms a house into a very special home for very special people: your family.
Money, of course, can build a charming house, but only love can furnish it with a feeling of home.
Duty can pack an adequate sack lunch, but love may decide to tuck a little love note inside.
Money can provide a television set, but love controls it and cares enough to say no and take the guff that comes with it.
Obligation sends the children to bed on time, but love tucks the covers in around their necks and passes out kisses and hugs ,even to teenagers!
Obligation can cook a meal, but love embellishes the table with a potted ivy trailing around slender candles.
Duty writes many letters, but love tucks a joke or a picture or a fresh stick of gum inside.
Compulsion keeps a sparkling house. But love and prayer stand a better chance of producing a happy family.
Duty gets offended quickly if it isn't appreciated. But love learns to laugh a lot and to work for the sheer joy of doing it.
Obligation can pour a glass of milk, but quite often love will add a little chocolate.

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, and the joy in a heart.
Author Unknown
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for over a year and have now reached over 1700 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1745. for my faith,family and friends, the loves of my life
1746. for love, it does make the world go round
1747. for another new day and another chance to say I love you!
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 !
Don't wait until it's too late to tell someone how much you love and how much you care about them, Because when they're gone, no matter how loud you shout and cry, they won't hear you anymore.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Glad you enjoyed your celebrating with your family that you did yesterday, Ma! So true how simple it is to say "I love you" but how hard it can be in certain circumstances. I know hubby, growing up, his parents didn't say or show much affection, but as he got older and would talk to them on the phone when we lived far away, he would always end with "Love you" to each of them which they were a little taken back at the beginning, but gradually began to say "love you" back to him. So it is neat to take the step and say "I love you" or "love you" even though you know it might not be met with the reaction you might want.
