Challenges whether small, huge or global, force us to decide what we are going to do about them. A challenge is a call to engage in a contest or fight. A challenge can be a demanding or stimulating situation. It requires action using a balance of planning and managing the task at hand. Take it on and persevere til resolved. "The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a persons determination" ~Tommy Lasorda~

Life is a Highway..ride it all night long!

Hey...Which way do you go?

Looking for which way to go?..follow your heart..move forward ..one day at a time..most of what we are looking for is right under our feet..the long and winding road that leads us to who know where, who knows where that long and winding road will lead us anyway..the road least traveled is always the most beautiful..the highway is most logical but the low road is spontaneous and full of adventure..even though, life is a highway and I want to ride it all night long! (click on bottem pictures to find what their looking for..)

The American Beauty shows off its Heart..

At the center of all intentions, there has to be heart. All good intentions are formed by "Thoughts from the Heart". Then that which we intend to say and do will take shape, displaying earnest heartfelt thoughts that arose from the heart. (look closely at the center of the rose, click on the rose for details.)

The cloud of Responsibility..

Luke 14:22 says.. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it.

Responsibility: a choice binding one to obligation,

with a course of action to get it done.

Obligation: a agreement to do whatsoever it takes to finish it.

Choose responsibility, obligation and agreements wisely.

Count the cost for reaching completion.

Carefully consider and calculate the cost of choice.

The cloud of responsibility dissipates, satisfaction surmounts, a clear sky and a new horizon make way for greater responsibility.

Sisters are a blessing..

Sistas, sistas..There were never such devoted sistas...

Those who've seen us..Knows that not a thing could come between us..
So Lord help the mista, who comes between me and my sista..

And Lord help the sista, who comes between me and my man..

"You keep your past by having sisters. As you get older, they're the only ones, who don't get bored, if you talk about your memories" ~Deborah Moggach

In's and Out's and Up's and Down's. Upside down Snapshot

INSIDE OUT or OUTSIDE IN

UPSIDE DOWN or DOWNSIDE UP

When letting Outside thoughts In, choose, what can stay, and what must go.

Evaluate the up's, the down's, turn the downside up.

Situations in life demand choice, thought's need choosing, determine in's and out's, up's and down's.

Uplifting "thoughts from the Heart" are the upside of living.

Springtime at the watering hole..

The old saying .. Cold hands.. warm heart, works like that with "Thoughts from the heart" ..Brain freeze.. warm heart. So here it is.. Brain freeze doesn't occur because of drop in temperature. It happens from lack of sleep and not enough coffee. Words from a friend can thaw the brain and warm the heart ever so tenderly and humorously. Thank God for chatting, from sea to shinning sea, west coast to east coast words can soar high on a windy California morning. Love to all my friends. Proverbs 25:25 As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. The East Coast can be considered a far country from San Diego!

Images recall memories..

Recall "Thoughts from the Heart" by exercise. Start with the year of birth. On a piece of paper list each year thereafter, one year per line, jot down next to each year the whereabouts in life's timeline. Picture events, achievements and accomplishments. Recall people, places and things. Good and bad will develop the ability to permit and facilitate thoughts, becoming a wondrous adventure. Retain Kodak moments, record, rewind and edit..love the priceless years and relive precious moments, Life is not meant to be lost, life is full of learning experiences and new challenges that a stroll down memory lane will help to ease on down the road. ~Kathy Ferrin~

A merry heart is welcoming!

Merry "Thoughts from the Heart" result in a healthy heart. And in God's Word He says in Proverbs 17:22a...A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: Grab a dose and call me in the morning! No prescription needed, double up the dosage for more abundance in life!

How far you'll go..

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. ~George Washington Carver~

The Sun, the Sky and the Water become one..

Happy Easter and love to family and friends. All coming together to enjoy each others company, feasting and enjoying the wonderful aroma of homemade cooking and homemade loving. All coming together as One. One big happy family. "Thoughts from the heart" can make you a kid again, coloring the eggs and searching the overstuffed basket of green grass for that ever so chocolate bunny. Weather permitting, the Sunday morning ride to get the paper, preferably with your hair blowing in the wind and the sound of shifting gears that only a Model A can make, putting a smile on your face and the Ahooga in your heart.

Another Illuminating Sunset!

" A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within." Ralph Waldo Emerson

The power of vision starts and must be recognized with illuminating "Thoughts from the Heart"

What a difference a day makes..

Day One

"Thoughts from the heart" can seem closed up. Take one day at a time, softly and gently let thoughts blossom. Day-by-day life will ease and your heart will settle. Flowers heal the heart and thoughts of love unfold.

Psalm 147:3

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Favorite places of the Heart!

Have a favorite place in your heart. Be there in thought, and enjoy, conjure up the feel and smell of being there. Call upon that favorite spot, go there, get there, be there. Stay as long as you want and return only when necessary.

In the beginning!

Unlike restoration (restoring back to it's original state) something created is started from nothing. In the beginning God created.. in nature we don't create we only make, with what we have already been given. Enjoy the benefits by looking around and seeing all that God has done.

Restore to Original...

"Thoughts from the Heart" keep memories alive. Restore your thoughts, restore your memories because restoration is ageless. Agelessness is beauty and simplicity restored by originality. Thoughts and memories are meant to be kept forever. Renew, refresh, and rebuild. In doing so, one keeps the most wonderful memories alive. Antiques are priceless!
