Worthy Ambition

This morning is about making a difference, whether that be with a kind word or a kind thought. It’s about finding a way to crowd out what is wrong with the world by holding what is right up on a pedestal. The first thing I read this morning was a Facebook post by Mudd Lavoie recognizing a post by Cupcakes and Cauldrons on encouraging other people and that fell right in line with what Tin and I were discussing over breakfast that went something like this:

“I don’t like rain,” Tin said.
“I love rain, it greens up the grass and feeds the animals and us, and makes the air seems fresher.”
“But it’s wet,” Tin said.
“Rain, rain, go away, come again another day, Constantin wants to play.”
“Can I rap that song?” Tin said.
“How about we give thanks this morning. Let’s start with TGIF.”
“Thank God I’m Fabulous,” Tin said.
“Right. And thank god for Ms. Karla, our friends, and our loved ones.”

It’s a worthy ambition to get up in the morning and figure out how to make the most of your day and life, by first recognizing all those people that help make your world so wonderful.

Amen.

    Mudd – I think you have sent me to Cupcakes and Cauldrons before and I sadly admit that I don’t spend as much time as I would like reading blogs like Nicole’s – as I’ve said before between writing, working, parenting, I find little time to sit back and do a lot of surfing and reading online!

    I don’t read that many blogs on a “regular” basis. Subscribe to yours, of course… and Nicole’s… Lori Stone’s… and that’s pretty much it. I don’t want to spend toooo much time online and miss the parade — I want to be IN the parade… I want to BE the parade. HA!

    But that Nicole… what a gal… what strength. She’s going through hell, at the moment… has been going through it for YEARS. I thought of you when I read about her diagnosis, two weeks ago. Among other things, she has Hashimoto. It’s worth the read. http://cauldronsandcupcakes.com/2013/02/13/diagnosis-lyme-disease/

    MORE LOVE
