Make them bloom

People deal too much with
 the negative, with what is wrong...Why not try and
see positive things, to just
 touch those things and make
 them bloom?
--- Thich Nhat Hanh
My friend Marie and I went to a
couple of nurseries this past week
and of course,  found all sorts of
wonderful plants!    The above is
a Sunscape Daisy and looks just
like a sunset.

Another friend and I saw the movie
Something Borrowed.   There is a book
out, in fact two, so we are looking
forward to the second one,
Something Blue.
It was cute, although something
was a bit off that I wish they
would have explained a bit more,
but I love these romantic
comedies anyway!
I forgot to mention that Mike
and I saw Soul Surfer and Rio
this past month too.  Both were
great movies and I wasn't
disappointed in Soul Surfer. 
 I was so looking forward to it
 and it was wonderful!

Bethany Hamilton

I hope you are feeling good
 and enjoying your week so far.
Wow, I can't believe a week has gone
by with no posts.  I had planned to
keep up with my posts, but each day
seems to fly by.  I know everyone
 can relate to that. But each day is a
 new beginning so no regrets, right?
I wanted to mention another
lovely person I came across last week.
Before the movie Gnomeo and Juliet,
one of the trailers shown was the
new movie, Soul Surfer.  Have you
heard about it?   It is the story of
Bethany Hamilton, the little gal
who was attacked by a shark in
Hawaii back in 2003. (I remember
when it happened and can't believe
 it has been nearly 8 years ago)  She
 lost one of her arms, but was
 determined to surf again and boy has she!

Look at this awesome photo of her
in 2009!   (Click on photo for full image,
 she is inside the wave) Just amazing
 and what a great shot....I love it !
She just turned 21 this month
and is another inspirational person
...living her Faith and living her
 dream!  Check out her website HERE
I can't wait to see her movie,
Soul Surfer! I think it comes
out in April.  Thanks Bethany!

HAVE A LIVE
YOUR DREAM WEEK!
