Thanks!

It’s the culmination of a lot of things.

1st God Loves me more than my own Father and in a more perfect way. My Dad loves me and I love him but, God’s love is unfallable, always present and always caring for me in the ways I need. Sometimes he tells me to walk on glass to improve my character and other times there are just life lessons.

Still he gives me the oceans, the mountains, meadows, vista views, dogs, puppies, children and all of his animals for pleasure to amaze me with their beauty.

But, mostly I developed it from my friend who more than twice my age. She is 101 and 3 months today and has a couple of sayings:

She will hold out her hand and say “It’s like this kid, you turn it over and it still has warts”.

Which is followed with “It’s a great life if you don’t weaken”.

She starts her morning exactly the same way everyday:

She sits up on her bed and looks in the mirror, putting her hands to the sides of head scrubs real quick, looks to the kitchen, then to the backyard, looks up and says “It’s gonna be a great day!”.

She does this everyday without fail.

Just a great way to start the day and she ends her day in reflection for those things she is grateful for and prays for her hopes of tomorrow.

She is amazing.

So from observing her over the last 20 years and taking care of her the last 5 years I developed my tagline, which was how I always felt anyway.

She has another funny saying whenever I ask her how she feels she says “I feel with my hands and fingers!” and always laughs.

Have a great day!
