There is a calmness to a life lived in Gratitude, a quiet joy.

We all are looking for a safe place in our lives, a place of peace, a place of joy, a place of simpleness. In our hectic, stressful lives sometimes it is hard to be thankful for the small things. The babies smile, laughing at our dog when she acts like she's never been outside before, a hug when we are sad, giving to someone less than us. We all have our certain problems. He/She that seems like they have no problems more than likely has a different cross to bear, but one that affects them. My mentor used to say, act like we have the "attitude of gratitude". Then we will feel it creep in us. Feel the place in our hearts we used to have, know that TODAY will end, tomorrow will bring the rainbow. I wish I could just grab each of you, hug you,give you all the positive energy we need. Believe, as best as you can , believe.

" We each have a safe place

Deep within, way down inside

A place to be happy,

A place where we can hide.

We seek out this place

Reach into our souls

To give us the love, the joy

That makes us feel whole.

With hope. " deborahmills - The Hope Series

Frugal tips: Buy disposable diapers instead of cloth. It may seem as if disposable costs more, but cloth diapers must be changed more often, thus detergeant, softenter, energy is used much more. Plus time. I buy diapers at Kroger's 30 count pkg for 6.99 to give once a week to the Help Center. They ALWAYS need diapers!! My cloth detergeant cost more than that!!

I am here today my regular hours. I look forward to sharing with you. Lots of love, Me, Bob and Bets
