Knowing the end was near, we'd spent much time together this past year. We must grab hold of life when we have it. Thank you for yet another insightful post.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-14198815458179040032014-10-11T06:39:09.776-07:002014-10-11T06:39:09.776-07:00Perfect reason to continue to really try to be min...Perfect reason to continue to really try to be mindful, and in the moment. Such delightful opportunities and people surround us, but we are too caught up in our patterns, routines, and selves to see beyond it. What a celebration of the "now", this moment.

That tiny little word that opens a door to untold possibilities. <br /><br />I was the mother of a pre-scooler when I precisely recall reading the wisdom of Chuck Swindoll and thinking he must have lost his loving mind. His advice was that parents should say "yes" more often than "no," when it is at all possible to do so. If "yes" means having a picnic on the living room floor, or roasting marshmallows over the fireplace coals, consider the memories that will follow.<br /><br />Good advice, saying yes more. I learned it was a wonderful and fun way to live.Dayle ~ A Collection of Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727194212928446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-48375508434226368242014-10-10T18:44:33.283-07:002014-10-10T18:44:33.283-07:00I love that song!

After my daughter's moving out last week … and my missing her … I have adopted a just say YES attitude to life! so far that has taken me to a Korean spa this week … and has me packing for an impromptu trip to Cancun with a friend! Her husband couldn't make the trip and she invited me … my first inclination was to say No … but … I remembered my new motto … so now I will be leaving on the 256h … way out of my normal comfort zone …. but only yeses to life … will make it fuller! <br /><br />Thanks for you zestful posts my dear! Much appreciated!<br /><br />xoxo<br />TameraTamera Beardsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855427513744644731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-20411645238393906352014-10-10T12:54:44.865-07:002014-10-10T12:54:44.865-07:00Love this.
