What A Wonderful World
Little Wonders by Rob Thomas
Watched Disney’s “The Robinsons” for our Team TLC movie on Saturday April 14th! I LOVE the closing song for the movie … Thought I’d share with y’all for anyone who needs it (including me at times) … ” ….. let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder ….. let your clarity define you … our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders ….” Happy Day Y’all!

Beautiful birthday card from Momma and Frank …

Daughter -
You are the author of your own life. It’s up to you to dream it, imagine it, sketch it, shape it, build it, go after it, and make it happen. And then color it in with bright, shining shades of joy and deep, lasting shades of meaning that are yours and yours alone.
No one else can know the dreams you dream or the strengths you have within you that will help you make your dreams come true. No one else needs to. Because they’re yours. And so is today.
Happy Birthday*
We love you and are very very proud of you!
Mom & Frank
Momma said this was the first card she walked straight to and picked up. No need to look at any others. She thought it was interesting how she was drawn directly to this card. I LOVE my Momma and Frank so much. They are some of the GOOD ones!!

Jobs that do not give them the opportunity to share their unique and different view of the world. Read more . . .
