It's another new day

It's started well so far

I woke up this morning

It beats the alternative for sure

So I say thank you

To the Lord above

For granting me another day

To be with those I love

Some of them are far away

Some are just next door

Some of them I have yet to meet

I still love them all the more

It's another new day

A day I can make all mine

Think I'll start by writing

Another New Day rhyme

Everyday is a gift. It's how we use that gift that matters the most and sometimes we also need to remember that even a gift can be taken for granted. The picture above is one of the many gifts I've had in this lifetime. While you can't see "Oscar's" which is the name of the little bar down on the beach where I took a part time job while stationed in Guam you might be surprised to know that less than a mile behind me is where they blow-up found old ammo from WWII.

Thank You :)

I feel blessed even with all I've endured in life. Fought in the first Gulf War, lost loved ones, I even became a disabled Vet due to my left leg being injured. Yet everyday I find more and more to love and to live for. I was blessed with so much and all I had to do was open my eyes to the good things in life an stop worrying about the bad that has happened an will continue to happen to us as long as we live.

Feeling good is the best thing we can ask of life. If I can help in anyway then you know I will always try.

Tony, you have the gift of words. They seem to flow from deep within your soul, the gentleness, the love, the sunny outlook on life in general.

It's always a pleasure to read your words. Thanks! Have a wonderful day...

Thank You :)

With all that life has to offer I find love to be the greatest gift that we can share. Caring seems in short supply with all the daily troubles. So this is my way of making sure it doesn't get left behind. A simple reminder that no matter what happens we can all still feel love and kindness for each other :)

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and many more to come :)
