Which sounds like more fun, Susan: Being showered with miracles just because I love you, or being showered with miracles because you dared, stretched, went out on a limb, raised the bar, threw down the gauntlet, faced your fears, and grew into more than you ever knew you could be?

“GRATITUDE unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough . . . and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,
Confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home,
A stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,
And creates a vision for tomorrow.”

I’m fascinated by this little 3-4 foot gator who has arrived in one of the 3 retention ponds out back…his/her home is apparently the lake beyond the 3 retention ponds.  Neighbors tell me they are surprised that it took this long into May before the first sighting.  And, it appears, I AM THE FIRST to spread the word!  I’ve got work to do, and I’m already late in doing it, having just spent 30 mins watching the little gator surface, submerge and resurface.

Life is good.

Except for the fact that, now, I appear to be addicted to watching gator(s).

30 minutes or so have gone by…the gator is now sunning on a patch of grass between 2 of the retention ponds…there is also a Blue Heron, a pair of ducks and a couple of other kinds of birds I am not familiar with, all of them enjoying the results of all the rain we’ve had here in Florida.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime…

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person..

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,

To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend and they are.

They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.

Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.

The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.

They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.

They may teach you something you have never done.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant.

God Bless the USA.
