We had a delightful weekend with Zach who came to spend the Halloween with us; he grew up too! I remember previous Halloweens Zach would come over with his dad Lee and we’d all pile in the car — drive to a pumpkin patch and have the boys pick a pumpkin each.. then we’d carve it with the boys.
This year Zach was so sweet to come up to central Florida and spend it with us… I had prior plans to do some community work up at Lake Mary with Rosezetta — we had already registered a booth to give out candies at their annual Spooktakular event. We had over 700 kids stop by our booth…right up to the last minute… we were able to give out all our treats!
Rosezetta and I decided to celebrate our Goodwill and stopped at Chilis for a little R&R …we thought the patrons would enjoy us in our costumes and it was quite delightful laughing and smiling with total strangers.
While at the home front Geordan was having a blast with his friends, this year he had his friends come over he had a party of his own.
Daisy Says: Treasure every minute for the dynamic eternity in it; that eternity is the memory that will for ever remain in your mind and your heart.
Any one can take a journey into the future quite simply by analyzing the choices they made today.
When you’re passionate about the things you do, life turns into a song. No challenge is insurmountable, obstacles become simply things you need to figure out to get to your destination.
…and what is that destination? The destination doesn’t matter when the Why is very clear.
It doesn’t matter if you run a night club or a hair salon or even drive a taxi – the most important thing is to love what you do and the why will reveal itself.
I find that the doing is not as important as the why of what I’m doing. I have also concluded that the why of what I do always takes me to the same destination: people.
People… people to love through my stories, my goodwill, people to serve, and people to share my life with.
My destination today takes me to serenity – Happy Labor Day.
Daisy Says: Destination becomes the being and the doing and life is simply the song.
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation’s most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson’s most enduring monument. Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed by other philosophers. What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in “self-evident truths”. Excerpt from: http://www.archives.gov
We must remember and PROTECT our unalienable Rights: that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Daisy Says: Let’s come together under our flag: UNITED WE STAND — God, Bless America.
