Just Thinking ~



Every day I am surrounded by lots of creativity. I live in a community of writers, artists, entertainers and folks who express themselves through sports; whether golf, maybe tennis. It's a great atmosphere to be part of.
We all have something that excites us, gets our heart beating faster when we do it. SO… What if we were to find our gift and share it with the world, what if we started by sharing it with our community? That’s all we can do really is just change our immediate surroundings.
 So why not?
 Find your gift and share it with your community ~
 Build a platform and change the world.

With Twenty~five seconds left on the clock,
the fans roared with excitement ~
the stands rolled and rocked.

It was Mirer to Bettis, a touchdown was scored,
it's now 16-15
is anyone bored?

Life is only as sacred or special as you say it is. Therefore, one must find the joy in the everyday things of life.
