Clouds Are Shrouding Us in Moments Unforgettable

Sorry it's been a few days since my last post, it has been an extremely busy week. But, what better day to return than Sweet Story Sunday ;) I love that such short and simple stories can show such a large amount of love, and since I've been MIA for a few days, I've decided to share more than one :)

"Today, my 75-year-old grandpa who has been blind from cataracts for almost 15 years said to me, 'Your grandma is just the most beautiful thing, isn’t she?' I paused for a second and said, 'Yes she is. I bet you miss seeing that beauty on a daily basis.' 'Sweety,' my grandpa said, 'I still see her beauty every day. In fact, I see it more now than I used to when we were young.'

"Today, I walked my daughter down the aisle. Ten years ago I pulled a 14 year old boy out of his mom’s fire-engulfed SUV after a serious accident. Doctors initially said he would never walk again. My daughter came with me several times to visit him at the hospital. Then she started going on her own. Today, seeing him defy the odds and smile widely, standing on his own two feet at the altar as he placed a ring on my daughter’s finger."

"I was sitting on a park bench today eating a sandwich for lunch when an elderly couple pulled their car up under a nearby oak tree. They rolled down the windows and turned up some jazz music on the radio. Then the man got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door for the woman, took her hand and helped her out of her seat, guided her about ten feet away from the car, and they slow danced for the next half hour under the oak tree."

"I was driving home with my father when he suddenly made a u-turn and said, 'I forgot to get your mother a bouquet of flowers. I’ll pick up one from the florist at the corner down here. It’ll only take a second.' 'What’s so special about today that you have to buy her flowers?' I asked. 'There’s nothing specifically special about today,' my father said. 'Every day is special. Your mother loves flowers. They put a smile on her face.”

Oh, You Make Me Smile

Sometimes the best way to feel love is to spread love. Any act of kindness will make you feel good, but here are some ideas of random acts of kindness that will brighten people's days; and yours :)

1. Leave change at a vending machine

2. Hide dollar bills in the toy section of the dollar store

3. Deliver homemade sweets to your local firestation, police station, library, etc.


4. Deliver flowers to a local hospital or senior center. Ask the desk clerk which patients she thinks need cheering up the most


5. Leave your mailman homemade sweets or a small gift

6. Collect some coupons and leave them at their places of use for others to find

7. Go through a drive-thru and tell the cashier you want to pay for the people's order behind you

8. Write a card to a friend or family member just to remind them how much they're loved



9. Compliment someone

10. Look at people in the eye, and smile :)




Spread the love,

One Love, One Heart

Tonight I am in the company of a couple who has been married for 43 years. Love that can last that long really boggles my mind. In 4 decades I can only imagine the trials and obstacles a relationship faces, and what it means for two people to conquer whatever comes their way, together, and ultimately come out even stronger in the end. 


I love this quote, I think it is the true definition of what love should be



“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life." -Bob Marley
