I posted on Laney's Facebook page Friday the message and well know phrase, TGIF. We all know that it means we are grateful we made it through the week and anticipate having fun on the weekend. But, today I am going to post TGIM. Thank goodness for Monday, because I'm alive and my husband's alive and we get to enjoy another beautiful week together. We can think of it as a new beginning to choose to be happy. I started thinking that it's a shame that we wait until Friday to feel the excitement of living and having fun. I started the day with a smile, kisses form my husband, blessings to all the people in my life and my list of what I am grateful for. Then, I thought about the great feelings that I have on Fridays and I feel that rush of endorphins. What a way to start the week. I declare every day is going be a Friday now. Hope your enjoying every day too, TGIL... Thank goodness I'm living.
My husband and I are now six weeks from our next walk, the 10k. We were blessed last week with some nice weather and we were able to walk outside. We had the most beautiful weekend with lots of sunshine. We spent lots of time outside riding bicycles, walking, and working in the yard. I feel so blessed to share the beautiful days with my husband and of course Laney.
Today the sky is cloudy and we are anticipating much needed rain as we are still dry from the drought we had last summer. I have always enjoyed the saying April showers bring May flowers and patiently waiting for the beauty that spring brings. For now my heart is full of sunshine and I hope yours is too. Have a wonderful blessed week.
Life is beautiful !!!

Elizabeth Speaks From The Heart
Writing on this blog has let me express things that are sometimes left unsaid. It is a way to reach a large audience about things I am passionate about in my own life. I had a great teacher in high school that taught me about the passion of giving to others and leadership. She was my Spanish teacher and adviser of my school's National Honor Society, which I was honored to be a member of. She always encouraged me to follow my heart, and she told me my passion in life would lead me to happiness. I took her advice and over the years I have involved myself in community service. It was a great lesson of giving for me and my own children. I am very proud of my children for their acts of kindness and unselfishness in giving back to society. They have grown into wonderful adults.
I have lost track of my Spanish teacher, but I would like to say thank you to her for all of her encouragement which has stayed with me over the years. The encouragement has led me to my passion which is writing on this blog. I thank god everyday for bringing Laney into my life. She was the reason for the blog. I also thank my loving husband who lets me talk about him on the blog, my children who admire me, and everyone else who has been a part of my life. You give me a purpose to write. God bless you!!
Out of all the blog postings I have done over the past two years, the most viewed was A Bow Wow Thank You From Laney on May 16th, 2011. It was a passionate thank you to MD Anderson Cancer Center for taking care of my husband. I am hoping today that as Laney speaks this posting will bring more views than the Bow Wow posting brought. So, I give the floor to Laney.
Hey, it's me again, you know Laney. I am the spoiled dog that lives with the two people who are gullible enough to carry me home, when they wear me out walking. They are always walking for a purpose. They call it cancer research. They have been walking for many years. They hold hands when they walk and talk about silly things. When they are at home they sit on the couch together and hold hands. They sometimes put their lips together. I don't know what that is all about. I do know that I am the center of attention, so I jump up on the couch and get between them. They pat my head and sometimes put their lips on my head. YUCK ! I know if I want attention they will give it to me. They give me treats for being so darn cute. So, please can you donate to cancer research or at least tell your friends about this blog, because I'll get more treats. I love being spoiled. Life is beautiful !!
