...happy veterans day*

"It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you."
-Author unknown

I just wanted to say a sincere thank you to all soldiers who serve or have served our country.
 


My husband was lucky enough to make it home alive. Not everyone is that lucky. He lost many friends while he was over seas, and more men and women die in the middle east every day.
 
It's not an easy life, but somebody has to do it.

Thank you for keeping us free.


From the Department of Veteran Affairs, the 2011 tribute:



Never forget: We are the land of the free because of the brave. God bless all our servicemen and servicewomen.

...Happy Birthday Sis*

Today is my beautiful sister's birthday!
It's so hard being so far apart -- we're 11 months apart, so we're pretty close!
I just want to wish her a blessed birthday and many more to come!

In memory of Heavy D...
 This goes to show that tomorrow is not promised. We should take this time to ask ourselves. If I know I was going to die tomorrow, is the life I live today the best possible.

Live everyday as if you were going to die tomorrow. Many blessing to you all.

...Champions live on forever*

“You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you're down to your reflexes - that means your [preparation:]. That's where your roadwork shows. If you cheated on that in the dark of the morning, well, you're going to get found out now, under the bright lights.”
Joe Frazier


A true legend in every sense of the word... Champions live on forever!
