"Friends"

We all have friends - close friends, work friends, childhood friends, church-hobby friends, distant friends, etc. But a true friend will be there regardless of what is happening in their or your life.

Some of us are lucky enough to have several true friends, but we are blessed if there is just one. That one who will be there in the bad times as well as the good.

Are you being a true friend?

Ciao for now!

"Reactions"

There is a lot I could say on this topic, but the quote says it all. Every action has a reaction. Think about it...

Ciao for now!

"Thankful"

Remember this not just today, but every day!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and friends!

Ciao for now!

"Negativity"

We all know those folks. No matter the topic, they have something negative to contribute. I'm not talking about someone playing Devil's Advocate - there is a time and a place for that.

I'm talking about the the Arnold Arguers and Debbie Downers of the world. Those folks who spew vinegar in every situation when sugar would be better. I call these people toxic personalities and they are contagious. If you spend too much time around them, you find yourself spewing vinegar when you least expect it and often when it will do the most damage. Damage to those closest to you.

So after spending time with someone who makes you feel incompetent, depressed, generally negative about things - take time to evaluate the relationship. See if there is something you can do to help that person be less negative.

If not, maybe it's time to bail. Find friends who lift you, not ones who pull you down. Get marriage counseling. Seek a new job or maybe a new career. Do what you can to keep the positive in your life!

Ciao for now!

Something new.... "Patience"

As many folks who have moved from RVing full-time to a more stationary life know (and understand), it's hard to keep a blog interesting. I mean, who wants to read about cleaning house, doing laundry, what you're cooking, doctor appointments and other things from everyday life.

Since enough people enjoy our blog for me to not stop it completely, I've decided to add a little something. Many of us are on Facebook but many others are not. Every day I see sayings that I enjoy and often share.

So in that spirit, I will be adding some posts with those quotes and sayings. Sometimes with a pretty photo in the background (that I may or may not have taken) but sometimes with just a colored background.

If you see one you really like, please drop a comment. I get so few now, I worry who is actually taking time to read.

With that, I'll leave you with a #2doods photo...waiting at the door.

Ciao for now!
