Lenora's Hangout

My Birthday Made Complete!

 

I received this birthday card from my loving daughter, Chantay, which brought tears to my eyes and I am indeed blessed.

 

 Mom,

 “What matters in our lives isn’t what you do or where I go with mine, but that the two are intertwined.

 What matters is that you are always my mother and I am always your daughter.

 What matters is the love I have for you, the admiration I have for you, and the appreciation I have for you.”

 Always...Happy Birthday

 Lots of love, Chantay.

 

My daughter made my day and I love her so deeply.  God is good!

Thanks again to all of you who took the time to send me birthday wishes…ya’ll also made my day enjoyable and blissful.  Luv, Lenora

 

God Hug

Received this from a friend who emailed me last week.

Thought you gals might enjoy this one.

NOW YOU'RE ON THE CLOCK!  It's on you, Sisters.

 

In 10 minutes something will make you happy, but you have to tell 10 sisters you love them including me. GO GIRLS!

Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CRAP, SHE'S UP"!

She who laughs, lasts!

If today were my last day on Earth and I could share 500 words of brilliance with the world, here are the important things I'd want to pass along to others...

I wonder how you are greeting this fine day. Are you bringing to it high energy... fresh from pleasurable dreams and a good night's sleep?
Or are you slumping tiredly from your bed...and slowly creeping your way into the physical world?

Either way is fine, because here's what I know to be true...
You will figure this day out....just like you've figured out all the days of your life so far.
And, with a little guidance, you may even find perfection in whatever comes your way today.

How do I know this? Because I have lived so many days....woken up on so many sides of beds...and figured out so many things...even on the worst of days.
And the good news is this: I have survived them all....and on many days, even thrived!
And you are no different from me. There are days when life is scary or uncertain.

On these days we hold on... For dear life...and wait for the clarity to come.
And later...when the scariness seems less...we search for the perfection in this day.
We ask: What is life teaching me today?
Am I learning something that will help me grow stronger...get out of my rut...open my thinking?

And when we get clear on the answer...the 'perfection' of this day...
We'll know for sure that we have solved the puzzle.
We'll know that all the answers we need each day are with us all the time...right inside of us.
After all, we have a lifetime of experiences to draw on...
A lifetime of decision...

How are you greeting this fine day?
