Say Thank You and Thank You and Thank You again

An attitude of Gratitude comes from the heart

Regardless of how hard it is, to sometimes start

Most days I'm filled with all kinds of Bliss

I name things around me and try not to miss

The trees, the birds, the sun and the sky

horses and rabbits, even insects that fly

With the excitement of a child my list can go on

On the  days filled with Joy it is gratitude I don

Yet when my heart's filled with sorrow and pain

It's hard to feel grateful with inward disdain

A teacher just told me as recent as  today

Repeat the words Thank You  come what may

Saying  the words Thank You again and again

Repetition wins over and soon comes the Zen

For regardless the pain there are lessons to learn

It's hard to be thankful when for them, it's your turn

But Thankful I'll be as the words I repeat

For one day the lessons will just fall at my feet

Today let me start when  I open my eyes

Saying Thank You for giving me this day to rise

And may I remember all during the day

To be grateful for everything that comes my way

For people I meet and the lessons I learn

Even in darkness it's to the Light I will  turn

Say Thank You and Thank You and Thank You again

For my life is full of the now, not the when

And when it comes time to lay down my head

It's thoughts  of my Blessings as I crawl into bed

For the people I've met who touched my heart

And for the abundance I do have in my life's cart

For it's all how you look at it, that's just how it goes

When everything's a Blessing;  the highs and the lows

Your Life will seem Lighter I promise this when

You say Thank You and Thank You and Thank You again

Happy Nurses Week!

Happy Nurses Week!!

Tis the week for nurses

That we acknowledge you

Your kind and gentle caring

That lasts the whole year through

Seems odd to only have a week

To say what needs be said

Since that is what we have

     Let’s get on with this instead

So thank you for your knowledge

  That keeps us safe and sound

         And thanks for all your caring

          You share with all around

 Through laughter and through tears

  You always lend a hand

        So let’s take a week to share

                Our thoughts throughout the land

       With patience and with patients

           You practice what you preach

       Not only here to help

  You’re also here to teach

        From paperwork to bedpans

Your work is never done

                    Yet through it all you smile

         For in your heart you’ve won

        We do not always show it,

     Our respect for all you do

        So, for this week and always

        Many Thanks go out to you!!

      Thank You! & Happy Nurses Week!!!!

Thank You

The walk went well today

We made it! So Hurray!

Thank you one and all

For answering the call

To help fight the fight

Of this MS blight

"I walk because I can"

Words from my friend Anne

Multiple Sclerosis

Is a tough  diagnosis

So we keep on with this war

Until we kick MS out the door

Written with Love and Light,  by Nina Pauline

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that effects the nervous system of its victims. It is a debilitating progressive disease that as yet, has no cure. Through dedicated research there are many treatments available to slow the progression of the disease. With funding, research, thoughts and prayers, we will find a cure. Again, Thank you all for your support for this worthy cause.  Blessings to you and yours. Love and Light, Nina P

Thank You: to Teachers of Life

We all have people that enter our lives as "Teachers" and friends. People that have change our lives profoundly and helped us to grow... sometimes even despite ourselves.....

This is a Thank you to the "Teachers" of the world. One dear dear friend in particular was the catalyst for this heartfelt Thank You.

Thank You!

A teacher of great passion

And wonderful at heart

Your energy's contagious

It made it easy to start

To want to look inside

Go on just take that chance

To want to go explore

And dance that inner dance

Your guidance and direction

Just help to go along

Until the students ready

To sing their inner song

I thank you as a teacher

And as a dear dear friend

I thank you for your patience

Love and Light to you I send

May you be blessed forever

Your loved ones also too

And may your hands be guided

with a Light that's always true.

This Thank you also goes out to all my fellow blog writers.

You are all teachers in your own right. And for that, I Thank You!

FATHER

Every day is Fathers Day..... (and Grandfather's Day, Step-Father's Day, Uncle's Day, etc...)

FATHER

Family's start from the heart with a Father’s pride

All at once, it is said, two hearts they did collide

Thanks to you, a Dad was born to show us what to do

Hope you know how much we care, the love we have for you

Every thing you do for us, we Thank You from our hearts

Remember Dad we love you dear, our Love it never parts

Happy Father’s Day to Dad’s all over the world!
In honor of my father...
