SOC It To Me, Baby and Make it a Happy Day...What?

Remember, the show Rowan and Martin's Laugh in? I will never forget how the little wooden door panels would open up and each comedian and or person would say something funny and it would go to the next one with a smile, giggle, hysterical laughter or a plain face stand up comic. Can you just see them doing that as I write about it in your mind? Dan Rowan, Dick Martini, Judie Carn, Goldie Hawn, Lily put her hand in her blouse and grunt Tomlin, One ringie dingie, two ringie dingies, grunt grunt and so on and so on. The old man and lady on the bench in the park. He would always hum towards the bench slowly, try to pick her up, and she would knock him right out with her purse. Literally, he would fall straight down on his face. That was comedy..... Did you catch the Dick Martini, I wrote earlier, just to see if you were paying attention. Stir that up, for all you critckets, Oh Jimminie,
I mean critics, that said the show would never make it. It was on at the same time as the most popular show on TV at the time. Do you know what TV program was? A clue for you. It was on ABC, had a cast of a different variety of people, that remind me of the good ole Juke box, hamburger and ice cream shop. I have already given you the answer but you can suffer a little bit longer if that didn't do it for you. I have a picture of a vehicle, that will give it away for you, but it's not the same one that was used on the show. It's the picture on this page, silly. The only one. If you still don't have the show, I give up on you and me, for giving it away. Okay, I know come out with it and let's all go back to happier days and times. I love Lucy. No...duh heads....it's Happy Days!! The Fonzie, Cunnigham's, Richie, Cha Chi, Ralph Mouth, need I go on? Wow, I can't believe how much your mind remembers when you go back to those times. I think I was in my teens for sure. Let's think about some good things today that will make you smile. I can think of a lot of things other than T.V. shows that will bring a smile to my face, but for now don't change the station, I'm still smiling.....:))

The Inner Voice Inside!

You ever have that moment when something tugs at you so strong you can't hold back. That's the inner voice inside you. Do you ever want to call a friend or someone you haven't heard from in a while? You think about it and then it passes. A few days later, the phone rings or you are out at the park and about, and there is the same person you had just been thinking about. The inner voice inside you and them. They will usually say something to you that sounds like, "hey I was just thinking about you the other day or I had a dream about you." Like Izzy in this picture after something woke her up. She has that look like what was that? That's the inner voice, or in Izzy's case, the inner bark, inside her. Lol  Just had to do it .....

It's pretty cool. Don't ignore it because you never know when your inner voice is trying to tell you something. Listen to it, let it out, so you don't miss out on what it might bring for you. It could be just what you may need right now. You might be sitting down as your inner voice speaks to you, about what you are now reading. Just don't talk back to it, that's a different type of inner voice, we don't want to deal with now or ever. Lol.

Maybe your inner voice is thinking about buying or selling. http://www.homesrez4u.com/

9/11, Remembering.......

9/11 brought about a true story we have followed for the last 9 years and have not been able to forget the ones that were involved which might as well have been all of us. I don't know anyone, who doesn't know someone, who's life was not affected by this horrible tragedy.  How many people got a call from someone that day that was in or out of those buildings to say an I love you and or a possible good bye. All we want to do is try and understand what happened that day and we can ask all the whys in the world but will  never get all the answers. We were affected that day by people we knew, or didn't know and glued ourselves surrounded by friends and loved ones to our TV sets. It was as if we were right there amongst the chaos, smoke clouds, sirens, screaming and the drama that never seemed to stop that day.

The real monsters were the terrorists that took the time and plotted out something so cruel and devious we can't even comprehend it or believe something like that could have happened. Imagine they flew our own American airplanes, which were hijacked and rammed one on each side of the twin towers building in a way that took the building down to the depths of the earth. Literally bringing 2,752 people to their death. It's just too much to wrap our small heads around, even today, as we take a moment to remember those that lost their lives and the ones that lived through the disaster and emotional trauma of it all.

There is much to be said about the victims, their families and who can think of anyone who wasn't affected by this terrible tragedy? We must also not forget the heroes of the day that stepped up to risk their lives to save others. The ones that died to help others to live, and the ones that lived helping others to live on.

Within 30 minutes of two planes hitting the World Trade Center twin towers, the Pentagon was struck by American Airlines Flight 77 another hi jacked plane a Boeing 757. 125 people that went to work just like every other day did not make it out of the building, The impact was so strong they weren't really sure what it was until they went to help the people that were still alive and trying to get out of the building. More smoke and ash that covered the area made it difficult to get to the ones that were left inside waiting for a rescue or to take their last breath.

While this was happening the news announced yet one final plane Flight 93 hijacked over Pennsylvania.  They took their cell phones to say their last thoughts of love, to report what was happening, and their final farewells. The passengers that courageously got together and allowed themselves to fight for a victory that was won and lost by their heroic actions. They took out the ones that could have taken out more lives than their own. 40 people gave up their lives on that flight that day.

What lessons have we learned from all of this? We may never know, but we can continue to watch over each other, with special love and care.They were reading each and every persons name today and I thought, we may never have known these people, but they most certainly have become more than just a name. They have become a part of our lives forever.

Just didn't bargain on this book and this ending......

Really now? What do you do on a rainy day? I say, if you are without a headache, read a good book. If you have the headache, take a nap and put a cold press on it. It relaxes you. Just don't forget to take the cold press off or you become a cold numbed area, that falls asleep, you awake and your muscles are aching all over, you now have a kinked neck and a stronger head ache, with more added problems to the mix. You have just made yourself a cold blend of sleep deprivation. Now you try to watch TV to keep your mind off everything. You barely pull yourself up to get a glass of water and a few Advil that you hope will take the edge off the pain. You forgot you switched your bottle of Advil to a bottle of exlax and end up on the porcelain seat for a few hours emptying out your life's end results. While you are sitting there, you remember a book you left on the sink, next to the place you have ended up at. Well, you're actually reading a book now, but not exactly the one you wanted. You realize, hey, your headache is gone and forgotten. Who cares what book you're reading. It feels good you have one to read but(t) you didn't expect to end up where you're at, either. You're awake though, doing what you wanted, reading a book.You didn't bargain on having the two endings, either. One, from the book, and we won't even talk about the other...LOL

A Day To Remember!

Izzy and Bobo, took the time out today for Veterans day to stand at attention, to take a moment of silence for all the soldiers that have risked and lossed their lives.

It doesn't matter what branch of service, our soldiers served in, they were in a life and death situation. I am truly grateful to all that served in any way to help keep our country safe. Even if you don't believe in war, at least take a moment to remember, all that died and served our country. We must feel a respect for them just knowing they took the time out of their lives to do what our country wanted and needed them to do. Please take a moment and Remember them all. I know my family will. Definitely a day to remember.

Use GPS For Dummies!

I'm a Realtor, in Jupiter, Fl. that was driving people around, last Sunday, to purchase a home in Port St. Lucie. Being, I didn't know the area all that well, I brought my GPS with me, that my partners helped me program the route. When I got to the place, to pick the couple up to take out, there were too many people, and they decided to follow me. Like Bobo  and Izzy, in the picture, we couldn't all fit in the one car. They had too many people, wanting to go look at houses, so the mother took the children home. We ended up, with just the husband and wife, looking for a home.This is a true story.
I said to the husband, "I have my GPS and could use some help while driving.' He did agree, he would manage it for me, and I said, " it's for dummies." The wife said, "what did you say?." I said , "it's for dummies." She retorted back, "Lois, my husband's not a dummy and I said, "no the name of the GPS is for dummies." She said, "well that could be debatable, he sometimes does some dumb things, but he's still no dummy."  I said, "I guess you didn't hear me the GPS device is really called GPS for Dummies." Now she got it. She laughed so hard, she started to cry, and so did her husband. You know that belly laugh when you can't stop. She's pregnant with twins and they were moving back and forth in her belly like they were laughing too. What a great way to start off looking for a home.Use GPS for dummies. Good way to break the ice, and it did get us to every place we needed to go. We all laughed about being a car load of dummies.

Always Plan First So Others Will Participate.

We all work very hard and sometimes need to take a break in our schedule. If you don't have the means to travel, fix yourself a meal that relates to an area you would go to, and imagine yourself being there. If you decide to invite friends, to go on your trip, be creative with your outing and check with them first. Act as if you are getting ready to go and dress up for whatever the weather would be. If you live in Florida and decide on Alaska you are going to need alot of ice or dry ice to make it effective. Lol

Try to keep it reasonable but make it fun. Talk as if you are already there and the way the surrounding area looks. Discuss how much you are going to do that day and who will be there with you to enjoy it. Bring a few magazines that show the area and cut them out. Hang up some pictures to make the place come alive. It may sound silly to you but it beats not going anywhere at all. Try it one day and have everyone add their touches to the atmosphere they want to create. Use music in the background that will make the mood come alive. There are so many different ways to make it a fun day for you, your family and friends. Make sure you plan it out with everyone involved so they will all be ready to participate in the fun of it all.

Here's Izzy trying to get Bobo ready to do a doggie camping trip. First she has to try and get Bobo out of the sleeping bag so they can set up what they need to do to get ready.She first is using her mouth to get him to come out of the bag first. She is really trying to get Bobo moving. Izzy goes in to try and motivate Bobo to join her in what she wants to do on their imagination vacation. Bobo is almost ready to come out but decides he doesn't want to pawticipate with Izzy's idea. Izzy has spent alot of her time to try and get him to do this but he won't budge. She should have made plans with Bobo first. http://www.homesrez4u.com/

That's All That's It!

We are all moms in one way or another. I have 2 pets named Bobo and Izzy that I feel so much love for and I know they love me. I have to take care of them like they are my little babies. They rely on me for everything. I love this photo seeing my babies cuddled up together on their favorite blanket, with their squirrel toy and their tastiest bone. So much love fills my heart when I see them together like this. I get so much love in return.This is what it's all about. That's all that's it.

Do that for your mom today. Just show her how much you love her. Show your love any way you know how. Remember, You only have them for as long as they are here so make the best of it.  

I remember reading a story about a mom that found one of her children's old handmade gift certificates that read, I love you Mom. I can never make up for all you have done for me. All I could think to do was  write this certificate so you would know how I feel. Happy Mother's Day! What her child didn't realize was that her mom saved that certificate because it was the best gift she had ever received. She didn't care about getting a material gift. Knowing she had her daughter's love was all that she needed. That's all that's it.

Touchie, Touchie!

I said on my last Blog I would be talking about a different subject. There are people in our life that we just can't help to run up to and give them a great big hug. I would say we normally know who they are. If you don't, you need to start asking them first.
The ones I call Touchie are the ones who you may accidentally bump into at the office, grocery store aisle,  walking down the sidewalk, not paying attention and oops almost knocked you down, or just whisking by someone fast and you just barely touch them. There are so many I can hardly touch upon them. Lol
Now the look of, NOT love, comes from this at you. First could be the roll of the eyes, a cold stare, snuff of the nose, or the famous, ttt ttt sound with the tongue. You are lucky if you get these. Why?
You may have the vocal ones that say, "hey, what's your problem, get out of my way, who do you think you are dumb dumb and watch where the blank you're going."  

Here comes the gesture people. The most likely one I can think of, has to be, the middle finger used with a lot of force when administered in the air at you. The other would be, slap the bicep, throw your fist up in the air with a lot of force. Why am I even touching on this subject? Probably because I said I would, when I wrote my last Blog, a few days ago. More for the fun of it than the stupidity of it all.. No reason to get so touchie about it. Lol

One things for sure, my dogs, Bobo and Izzy are so loving about getting or giving hugs.Look at Bobo hugging his squirrel. He's doing the two paw grip hold and flea the squirrel's head hug. He doesn't have to ask it for a hug back, he just cradles it, shows the love he has for it and hopes for more. Izzy too, she's doing the, one paw hold down hug with her squirrel. She's waiting for it to hug her back and may be waiting a long time, or until Bobo takes it away from her. Lol

Well, I hope you get touchie for Mother's day. Don't forget to give your mom or someone else's mom a hug for Mother's day, Sunday. It just might make you feel a little touchie....touchie....Happy Mother's day moms....

Bff it!

I think children and our pets remind us that we make things too complicated as Adults. When we want to apologize to someone we have wronged or said something we regret, we try to figure out what to say, or do, how to do it, ways to say it, etc. Ask a child and they will probably say, "just tell them you're sorry." Of course it's that simple, just put some sincerity behind it. I guarantee it will make all the difference in the reply you will receive from the person you wronged.

It just got me thinking how quick we are to judge other people before we give them a chance to let us know who they really are. Let's try to be more careful about what we say to others or about others. Remember what you do usually comes back to you.

My dogs, Bobo and Izzy have learned not to bark out loud unless they see something that startles them and they go out of control. A bird, a piece of paper that wasn't there in the neighbors back yard yesterday. Lol...For real. Squirrel's on a wire really take them to the next level. Jumping up and down and barking. They are very good at what I call Bff. I say to them no bark just bff. So they bff. Wow, they are so obedient and no worries about I'm sorry.They just lick each other and they are back to themselves again.

We could learn to bff it and give someone a hug as long as they don't mind one. Some people aren't the touch em type. I will elaborate on that on another blog.  Have an awesome day!

Bobo And Izzy Say Good Deals Still!

"Hey, we may not be human as you can see but we know when  we see a good deal out there. Right now we are reading the daily log and listening to what all the news has been barking about all morning. They say this is the last day for the first time home Buyer tax credit. It's on until midnight tonight. I don't know about you but if you are going to buy a house wouldn't you buy it anyway or not have waited until today unless you absolutely had too? Can you imagine putting in a contract right before midnight? Hey Bff over hear and listen to me and Izzy. We do alot of barking when we get excited. You people should still be excited because there are good changes that have happened to make things better for you right now. The Condo market was practically dying with having to put down 30 to 40 % . The other issue was too many investors and not enough Owners to allow for some good clean mortgage buys to help them revive. They have to have a certain percentage of Owners for the banks to loan and it seemed in some communities there were more investors. Well, between all the short sales and repos we feel things are getting bffer on getting back to purchasing a Condo again. The prices are unbelievable and now you can put 10% to 20% down as long as the association isn't completely Iinvestor owned and you have the credit scores they require. Check with your mortgage company to find out. We know that Coldwell Banker Mortgage says they can do some of these loans with specific credit scores etc. Maybe you are a cash Buyer and we know you can surely buy. We happen to know that there have been changes and interest rates are still low. Well, We aren't the best experts but we are here to let you know that the Condo market is starting to revive again. The housing market won't stop selling with people wanting to own their own homes. Some can practically have a home now for the price of a rental payment. That's awesome! You people aren't missing out on anything."

"Izzy did you know that our teams last 4 contracts were 2 investors, a second home and one first time home Buyer most recently? You better Arf in believe it, Bobo."

"Me and Izzy are Arf in you on, to let you know, the price is right so we say good deals still. You better hurry if you are going to use your tax credit by midnight but me and Izzy have decided we have barked enough about enough so we are going back to play. Later......Bff....Arff......."

Wait! May I ask You A Few Simple Questions First?

Most of us want to be a leader in what we do. We need to be very clear about where we want to go or what we want to be in our lives. We want to help other people grow while we begin to grow more. Just like the lighthouse that light the way for the ships to see at night so we are to be the light during the day to those around us. We are to help guide others to be the best that they can be. Why do we want to start by helping others? One person at a time can achieve more than a group of people not knowing what they want to accomplish. be a lighthouse to others and let your light shine on everyone around you.

As a Realtor, I believe, our job is to help people find a home. We can't make anyone buy until they are ready. Our responsibility, as a Realtor, is to make sure that we ask the right questions. In this blog, today, it's about what a Buyer wants in a home and why they want to buy it? In most cases, people are just beginning their search and may just be looking around. That's great! First, make sure they aren't working with another Realtor. Ask how they are going to purchase the home if they find what they are  looking for? If they haven't spoken to someone about financing yet,  it's your job to give them the information needed to follow through. Most Buyers, that take this step are usually a ready, willing and able Buyer. The only part is, you don't know at this point, how much they can afford?

Next step, is to let them call and speak to a  Mortgage Rep. Once you have that information, the beginning of looking for a home begins. You would then, get all the criteria needed to do your search on finding them a home. Never be afraid to mention if they see a house, for sale by owner or a buy owner for example, to please let you know. Most home owners are willing to work with Realtors. Never be afraid to ask. They can only say yes or no. Once this Buyer, sees your expertise, it usually will put them at ease with you. The more information and knowledge you give them, shows them, how much you care and they will appreciate you more. If they don't want to cooperate, you may be going for a car ride.This is a simple way, to weed out, the true Buyer from the looker. Just a simple wait, may I ask you a few questions first, can be the difference in finding a home  or just going out for a drive.

Looking to buy a home? Use a Realtor. If you don't have one yet, I work with a team at Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Jupiter, Florida. We are the Eidson Team and can help you relocate to just about anywhere else in the world. Linda, Joe or Lois will be happy to help you. Our motto is: It's EZ with the Eidson Team! http://www.homesrez4u.com/.

It's A Jungle Out There!

I know it's hard for some people who are just starting out in business. No matter what it is you want to do there is no magic money button and off you go. You know that isn't the way things work. When you see these ads and emails that say make $$$$$$$ right away we sometimes fall for it hook, line and sinker. Did you catch any part of that sentence?

My definitions of words that I don't want to have in my life is fall, hook and sinker.

Fall-going down..down...down very fast and hoping to never hit bottom. You wish. Lol Tripping over something and landing on your rear end, knees, hands or whatever....OUCH!

Hook-something to get you all tied into or off the stage you go with a lousy act. Maybe you're addicted to something like, I'm hooked on _______. Fill in your own blank.

Sinker-going down to the lowest of lows. Never ending bottom. Being at the bottom. Drop the anchor and you are in the same place until someone hopefully comes along to hoist you out. Help!

Just like in the business I am in, with my sister and brother in law, which is Real Estate, it's not about how much we can make that counts. It's how many people we can help along the way, to sell or buy a home, that matters. When we show our true expertise, by showing them we know our business, we care and can be trusted, it makes the whole experience a better one. I want it all to be good but sometimes you have to deal with the reality of things that come along the way that may come up unexpected. Obstacles are a part of our life and be prepared to deal with them fairly. I know people are counting on us to do something very important for them. Finding them a place to call their home or to sell their place for them. We want to always keep it real and honest. They will know and believe me it matters. That's what I call doing Real Estate!
Write up a list of statements that you would like to see working in your life. Believe in what you write and make sure you know why you are writing them. One statement I wrote down is: I am busy listing and selling houses. The reason why?  I need to support myself and my family.

Do you get the idea?  Yes, it can be a jungle out there so make a path for yourself. What do you have to lose?

Come out Of The Sack. Be Positive!

The best thing I can tell you is most of the world is not living the life of being upbeat and happy. Matter of fact, if you go in smiling and happy sometimes you'll receive comments like, what are you on or what's wrong with you? Well I am here to tell you nothing is wrong with you and you can live your life any way you choose to. It's entirely your choice to decide whether you are going to wake up today and come out and be happy or sad. It's what you say to yourself when you wake up in the morning and how you look at yourself in the mirror. Yes, you may see a few more wrinkles, lines or maybe you are just having a bad hair day. So what. Whatever it is change the way you see yourself. Look in that mirror and say, okay you, I am going to have a fantastic day today no matter what comes my way. I am a good honest person who knows who they are. I am the best of the best and no one else today is going to make me change my mind about it either. I am a good person and want to share my joy with everyone I meet. Go out that door and walk as if you are 10 feet tall and proud of who you are. Be a Superstar today! Smile as you walk by people you meet and make a good impression on everyone you meet. Even if they look at you like you have 2 heads, so what, at least you have them. Lol.. You have decided to make the best of your day, remember? Be who you are and don't try to make yourself someone different. Do that in your heart on the inside. Make everyone around you wish they had what you have. Share the joy and stay positive. It may just bring more kindness around you and a little more business wouldn't hurt most of us either. No one wants to work with someone that doesn't feel good about who they are or what they are doing. If you start to think positive you will be positive. It's just the way it works. Come out of the sack. Be Positive!

A Few Phone Pet Peeves!

"Hi, Bobo here. I want to teach a few of you people out there about a few phone pet peeves I have. When someone calls you and says, is so and so there, you say, " this is she." Please NOT this is her. She is here not her is here. This gets me crazy and I can howl better than what I hear from most people when they talk. This blows my ears wide open and makes my eyes go crazy when I hear bad grammar. Another pet peeve of mine is, when you answer the phone at your work and say, "Hey or Yo this is Mary or Fred, whatever....? What can I do you for? Bff no, Bff no, no, no, you sound like you're at home and think you're cool or something. You're not. You should answer, Hello, this is Mary with ABC Realty, or whatever company you work for and then say, may I help you? That's how a a professional does it. Who would you want to talk to or do a deal with? Remember, you only have one time to make an impression when answering a phone or at capturing a call. Especially with the type of job my mom does which is Real Estate."

Spaced Out Dogs!

Looks like Bobo and Izzy are having a spaced out time together over their raincoats.......I thought I'd have a little fun at their expense.
                                                                                                                                                                                           

"Hey Bobo, where in the world did these coats come from?"

"Bff, if I know? All I know is, when I have it on, it does keep the rain from getting on my back and I can still do my duties, if you know what I mean?"

"Arf, on buddy. It's a little awkward at first but it does keep my backside and legs dry. I can still do my daily squats."

"Good thing I don't want your butt to get too big where it doesn't cover that back end of yours."

"Arfin funny you are. Your tail lifts the back of yours and makes you look like a dark hole in space. Bobo, the black hole."

"You are such a bff.....oon. I at least don't have Spock ears."

"At least they don't flop down over the side of my head and make me look like some kind of Ear T"

"Ha....you little bff."

"Arfin A"

"I think these rain coats are spacing us out?"

Wow what a Birthday!

Me and my family got together at the park to celebrate my great, great, nephew's first B-day about a month ago. It was so awesome to see all those kids, playing together and the family all getting along so well. Isn't that what it's all about, having family and friends get together, to celebrate a little boys life. It was such a beautiful day too. The kids were playing in one of those bouncing houses, I'll call it, and if the top wouldn't have been on that thing, they would have been bouncing UP AND AWAY!

Me and my sister were hanging around at the entrance to the bouncing house and were pretending that we were going to get the ones bouncing nearest to us. They were giggling and falling all over themselves. It was so much fun seeing them laugh and call after us like we were the monsters coming to take them away. That's the part of the party you can't help but like the most when seeing all the children having such a great time.

It was great seeing both sides of the family. The Moms, Dads, Grandmas, Grandpas, Uncles, Aunts, Brothers, Sisters, Nephews, Nieces, Friends, Grandchildren and even a Ferret that yawned when you rubbed her head. It was so comical looking that everyone at the park wanted to see the yawning Ferret, especially the children. Once the initial presence of the Ferret wore off it was back to the chase and the bounce away house. Sure wish we could have gotten a picture of that silly Ferret.

I was talking to Ian and his dad, Peter, and I said, "this is so great you can do this for you're children, and all who are here. He said, " I want my kids to have the very best." I liked what he said. Let's face it, nowadays most people can barely look out the front door. What amazed me is, everyone that came, were from all over the state of Florida. No one seemed to mind it either. They came from From Titisville, Miami, Stuart, Tequesta and wherever else. We all met up at a Phipps park in West Palm Beach. I really admired the ones that drove so far to get there. That's love I will tell you. What made it all so great was there were no arguments or anyone out of hand. It must have had to do with no alcohol at the party. Wow does that make a good impression on those children. No wonder they were all having so much fun and not to mention the sore muscles we adults were about to have the next day, myself included, didn't even matter. We were having too much fun from playing a little chase about. with the kids. We were listening to the laughter as it resonated throughout the place and people we didn't even know were asking questions about the birthday boy and all the fun we were having. That's what I call doing it right, after all it was for the Birthday Boy, Ian. What a cutie pie.

Finally, the presents, mostly clothes, some cool toys and a delicious chocolate and vanilla cake with white icing. Notice I remembered that cake. Also we ate until we could hardly walk or run anymore with all the delicious food there. Ian's Brother, Isaiah, decided to jump in and help to open a few gifts as my great niece, Tonya, Ian's mom, passed around each gift as it was carefully ripped apart.

Tonya, made a taco salad dip that could have been the meal practically by itself. You can tell that's my favorite dish. We had all different kinds of pizza, wings etc. Fried food, chips, water and sorted sodas galore. It was a food fest of a Birthday. We all had a blast and thanked Peter and Tonya for putting together the best of the best for all of us, especially for Ian. After all, we were all there for Ian's first Bday! Wow what a Birthday!

Your Life Depends Upon It!

I think sometimes our dogs can teach us that we should care more about ourselves. Bobo and Izzy, my two dogs really love each other. They love to lay together after a good rough housing time or just lick each others eyes, ears, wherever to keep each other clean. Also, if I get a scratch they are licking on it. If they get a scratch they are on it. That licking they do helps heal many different things they can get. It helps heal us sometimes too. If they were hurt we would run them straight to our Vet. We wouldn't think twice about how much it costs to get them taken care of unless we just don't have the money to do it. We would find a way though believe it. So why not take care of yourself too. By design, they were made to practically heal themselves. You've heard that saying, physician heal thyself, well we could learn from that. Take your vitamins, keep in shape, go for a walk, ride a bike, play with your pets. Make good choices in your life and you will feel the better for it.

Most of us don't like to go to the Doctor. Obviously we have to from time to time. Some people wouldn't go to the Doctor unless their lives depend upon it. You know what happens in most of those cases. They may never recover once they get to that point. It's our responsibility to start taking over our lives as God intended for us to do. Even the Bible talks about what we should eat and or drink.

Let's make the best of our lives. The better we feel, the more we feel good about ourselves and others. Your life depends on it.

Izzy loves Hanging......In there!

"Hey, what an Arf of a day I am having already. Bobo is busy doing his thing and I decided to just hang out. You know, when you just lay back and stare at the nothingness, the ceiling or a passing fly just buzzing by. I love it when the day starts out so relaxed and easy. What about you, Bobo?"

"Bff, Izzy....I like my chewing time and enjoy the way it feels when I get that enjoyment out of the chewing action I am getting on my toy right now. That gives me my relaxation time. Everybody's different."

"It's good to clear our thoughts especially when we are going to be getting ready for the day. Keeps me hanging in there."

"I do agree, that once we get in this time for ourselves, we do feel better about the rest of the day. Keeps me Bff'd and focused for sure."

"Good point, it makes my Arf stronger and my body feel good. Let's keep hanging."

"Bff."

"Why don't you people start out with something that makes you feel good about yourself. It will make it a better day for you for sure. Keep hanging....Hanging in there ......that is.
