100 Amazing Things

This will be a countdown from 100 of what is amazing things in our life. There are so many amazing things that are a part of our life, but we often do not take the time to see them.

I hope this will help us all to suck in the beauty of life!

First, let me give you a quote from Edmond Rostand,
I recoil, overcome with the glory of my rosy hue, and the knowledge, that I, a mere cock, have made the sun rise.

How awesome is it that those, who have done great things, can sit back, quietly, and no one would know of their accomplishments were it not for others who proclaim their greatness.

And yet, way too many people blow their own horns, and , in reality, have little to blow about.

Oft times, greatness is quiet, humble, loving, and forgiving.... Something we should all strive for, but few actually attain it.

The Spine tailed Swift would win a flying race(106mph).

The Cheetah would absolutely come in first in a running race (70mph).

And the Shortfin-Mako shark will win a swimming race. 'It has been clocked--yes, at 31 miles p/hour.

The Peregrine-Falcon can travel 200mph on a dive, so they come in as the fastest divers!

And, learning to live in peace means NO violence

- against man
- against woman
- against child
- against animal
- against nature
- against self

Is it possible for this on earth?  I don't think so, but, it is a state we must never stop working towards

If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.  ~Terri Guillemets

The beauty of Spring.  In the smell of the earth thawing, in the blue skys, the yellow warm sun, and the colorful hue of the spring flowers.

Amazing Spring:  A rebirth - A renewal of hope....

There are so many lonely and sick seniors in "old folks homes".  Many of them get very few visitors.  If it's one thing they love is a visit from "men's best friend" the dog!

There is my Squidoo Page, Therapy Dogs Bring Happiness, go check it out.  If you have time (even some time) on your hands, if you own a dog that loves people, then this is for you.

I have done this for 15 years, and it truly brings joy to the seniors, yourself, and also your visiting dog!

A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
Bill Cosby

The thing is this:  The wise are wise because they listened to the wise :)  It's an amazing thing to find someone that listens to advice, ideas and thoughts. 

Many find it a weakness to concede that they may not know it all, the wise find that to be a strength. 

This is #100 (So it's actually my first post, since it's a countdown)

Pet adoption is such an amazing and awesome way to add a 4 legged family member into your household. I kinow that. And, they are so thankful for it.

So do some research and then, if it's right for you, add an adopted pet into your household
