By Vernalee Life’s travels take us down many roads. Some roads are paved (None in gold that I have seen; only I wish); others not. Arriving to our destination is the primary objective. Hills, valleys, and bridges we encounter along the way. To “Cross that bridge when you get there” means to not worry about a possible future problem, but deal with it when and if it occurs." Why worry about issues that don’t exist or haven’t happened? Besides, some may not occur. One of our

By Vernalee Today is a new day! God woke me up this morning. I have reasons to be thankful. I have reasons to be grateful. I have reasons to smile! With a smile stretching from ear to ear, I thank you LORD for your grace, your covering of me and my children/grands, your mercy, and another day of life to enjoy your bountiful love. I thank you for the blessings of my family and dear friends. I thank you from the moons to the stars for your love, mercy, and grace. I smile!

By Vernalee Yesterday is gone. You cannot get it back no matter how hard you try. Learn from your past. Take the good with the bad. Don't dwell on yesterday. Keep moving; keep growing. Live in the moment. Maximize the time that you have today. Put it to good use. Make the best of it. Don't become a "Wish I had done it person." Do it. Dream, Live, Laugh, Love, Enjoy!

I thank you God for all things particularly knowing that you are with me to shine light and illuminate my path. Photo Credit: pininterest

Today. It’s here! Make the most of it. Use your time wisely. Don’t take people for granted. This is short and sweet. Show people - friends or family - what they mean to you today. Tomorrow isn’t promised!

Why people cannot stay in their own lane is an aged old question. Finding the answer is just as ancient. It is enough work to stay on top of your issues and business without stretching yourself to wander into others. Who has the time? To help in the journey of minding your own business and not that of others, let’s turn again

We see orange barrels everyday on the roads and highways. They provide navigation signals, alerts, and directions. They may also signify a host of traffic related nuances. For sure, we steer around them. Mostly, we slow down. Maybe, it’s danger ahead - construction work, pavement disasters, or something concerning. The orange barrels warn us beforehand. Their bright orange and white colors are visibly noticeable. We cannot miss them! Changing the course, what about th

By Vernalee A watched pot never boils means that “time seems to move more slowly when one is anticipating something or waiting for something to occur. Further when something takes time to do, it doesn’t help to constantly check on it.
