My sister shared this video and I found it very moving. It is almost 6 minutes long, but I feel it is worth it! I love bringing smiles to all of you, sometimes with crazy stories and sometimes with some powerful words by someone else. Enjoy, and would love to know your thoughts!
Fabulous. I made my bed today. Guess today is the day I help change the world. Thanks for sharing π

Truly sorry!! Losing a loved one is the hardest thing ever and I can’t imagine losing my child. I lost my brother when I was in my teens. Hugs to you as the date draws close. Thanks so much for sharing your heart with me and letting me know how this touched you!

I am afraid you may be a little old! π
But I do believe I probably would have quit the first day! I wouldn’t have that stamina!

Glad you liked it. It definitely is powerful. I really liked the part about singing in the mud…I have told that concept to my kids a lot! Our atitude makes such a difference on what we can handle!

Attitude yes, and the fact that we always have choices. Of course making choices then makes us responsible for the consequences so no blaming the weather, the government, the man down the street, the traffic etc. etc. On the good side, making choices and then taking responsibility for such choices will help us grow into responsible and productive human beings. We will also be quite smart because of what we learn every time we make a “not so good” choice! π

I make my bed every day . . . but that is where I draw the line.
I will not volunteer to swim with sharks.
Or hang out in a freezing cold mud pit with a bunch of singing seals. π

Whoa…that was very inspirational! Thanks for sharing. Even if I do nothing else, I make my bed every single day. It feels good passing that room knowing the ultimate sanctuary will welcome me with bliss knowing I did something as soon as I got out of bed. Happy weekend!
