Happy Birthday

Wow- I can't believe how many people have acknowledged my birthday this year. Facebook has changed how many people can be in the know about your birthday. For that I am grateful. It has been awesome to hear and read so many "Happy B-Day" and "have a great day" or "blessed week" messages. It reminds me of what I want to do in this Blog.

First off I want it to encourage you (whomever is reading). Your comments and feedback are always appreciated. Second to share the personal insights that I get along the way of life. I love to see things happening in life and then make some spiritual application. That is how God wired me and I enjoy doing that.

With that note: an observation. On my recent trip to Disneyworld I saw two types of families. A fighting family, having a miserable time and a happy family, enjoying the day. Look it was hot, very humid, and very crowded in the Magic Kingdom. There was plenty to get discouraged about. Yet we get to choose our attitude. So the happy family is the one that chooses to celebrate the joy of the day and all that they can do. We all have a choice. Be it family member, co-worker, team mate. Your attitude and how you treat others is your responsibility. I don't care if it a hard day.. God gives us self -control. So let us all learn that we can chart our course, and contribute to the good of life.

You are blessed, so be a blessing
