Happy
Happy Tuesday everyone!!
What a great day, it's December and it's
actually cold out!! The winter has
come, and I cannot be more excited for the Holidays. I was walking past the Rockefeller Tree this morning to get my
delicious Christmas Blend coffee (I wonder if I have to reference that
Starbucks shout out?? No, Ok...moving on), and I looked up at the tree and starred for a few
seconds. I used the little trick of
squinting my eyes to have the lights twinkle.
I look to my left, and this little boy had his mouth WIDE open in awe of this miraculous spectacle!! Yes friends, I was doing the same thing.
I was so excited!! At that
moment, I realized I might never grow up, which was great news for me!! Take time to star at the lights. If you didn't get the memo, Santa Clause is
real. It's not about presents or
material things, Santa Clause and the Holidays give hope to believe in the good
of people. This time of year is what I
have been preaching about on my Smile-lutions.
This is the Smile-lution Olympics, and you are all the amazing people in
the race to win the gold. Ok, ya that
was a little cheesy, but this time of year is all about giving. What I have been trying to do with this
blog, is to help you realize that giving makes you feel good...so go give
:-)
When I was on the Septa train from 30th
Street to Glenside a few weeks ago, I was mesmerized by the train tracks. They run parallel, but at some point they
come back together, and then run separate but yet still parallel. It made me think of friendships.
Once you graduate high school and/or college, it's hard to keep in touch
on a daily basis. However, think of
the friends that you hold dear to your heart.
Even if you haven't talked in months, you can easily pick up right where
you left off without any hard feelings.
(I wonder what soft feelings feel like? Probably like a down comforter in the middle of winter.) Part of growing up is moving onto different places and
faces. Some people get married, have
children, go to Australia, run Marathons...whatever you do, it's normal to drift a
little. But like those train tracks,
you are always running next to each other in this journey of life. (Cheesy factor, Judges? Verdict, it's about a 9 on the cheddar
scale)
Don't
feel bad, or depressed if you haven't been able to keep in touch. It's better to call when you think of the
person, rather than not call because you feel bad that you haven't talked in a
while. Relationships are what separate
humans from monkeys...not by much though.
The need to feel loved and give love is what keeps us going. My advice, don't be ashamed. If you think of someone, call them up. Or if
you're about 98% of the United States population and you don't like actual
human contact, write an email or send a message in a bottle. Whatever your means of communication, just
reach out!! What do you have to
lose?? Bring those train tracks back
together. I encourage you today to
reach out to one person that has left a stamp on your heart, even if it's just
to say hi!!
If
this quote doesn't sum up my theme today, I just..don't know...
"Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing with ever change so much to the point where we're still not all friends."
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL day!! Hang lights, sing songs, join in the bliss
of the season. This is a beautiful time
of year; soak it in like the big sponge that you are!!
Loves you all!!

@Marco I know what your saying there . In todays economy its hard to find a career that pays well and is consistent. I have discovered that if you just work hard and are consistent you can go places . Look at the poster of this article, they are oviously a hard worker and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.
I like the first point you made there, but I am not sure I could reasonably apply that in a productive way.
Interesting, I am curious what the statistics are on your first point there...
Hey we was just looking thru your site on my Pantech Phone and I was thinking about how good it will work on the new ipad coming out . Fleeting thought.... Anyway thanks!
Great post. My friend John told me about this blog a few weeks ago however this is the first time I'm visting. I will undoubtedly be back.
@chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don't have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn't write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.
I was just chatting with my friend about this last week at dinner . Don't know how in the world we got on the topic actually , they brought it up. I do remember eating a wonderful steak salad with sunflower seeds on it. I digress...
Intriguing , I wonder what the statistics are on your first point there...
Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :)
An arch support is an orthotic device designed to provide underside support for the feet. the device is fitted inside the shoes or boots in order that the molded shape fits the arch area of the feet and relieves strain on the muscular structure of the foot whilst walking or standing.
I posted a link for your website at mine. Anyway, I think most people forget the points you are discussing.
Hi there could I reference some of the insight found in this blog if I reference you with a link back to your site?
Great points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t write on blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very flattering to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault at all, but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy reading the content .
I like the first point you made there, but I am not sure I could reasonably apply that in a productive way.
Intriguing , I wonder what the statistics are on your first point there...
Thank you for the advice. I’ve found your first point to be most effective.
Intriguing, how would I use this?
Thanks for sharing. Share is caring after all.
