TO SURVIVE IS NECESSARY.......TO EXCEL IS EXQUISITE!!!

Today, on my way home from my weekly Great Decision's Group, I spotted the above quotation on a delivery truck. This particular quote has been used in the breast cancer awareness appeal. However, I THINK, it should be used in our everyday life; healthy or not.

We are all reaching for certain goals in this life according to our own agenda.

But I personally believe there should be a few things that should be on everyone's personal agenda.

Each of us should learn something new every day. It can be the smallest thing; but we should do it.

We all should eat as healthy as we are able.

Do some exercise each day, if we are able.

We need to make time for friends and family.

We should learn about and visit places in this beautiful country of ours.

We should all plant a flower or two. It will make God smile; I know it does.

We should develop our spiritually, no matter what our religious affiliation is, and be tolerant of other's beliefs.

Each of us wants to do more than survive in this life.........we want TO EXCEL!!

Blessings dear friends,

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate. Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive. I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1. Listing our current home the end of the first week in November. We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance. We just want to be able to live more and work less. Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there. 2. Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest. We will visit 5 countries along the way. One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany. My family left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young. Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road. (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos: Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year. Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff. I'm sure a few of you feel them same. Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree. Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes! MERRY CHRISTMAS Jo
