Cat with 2? Lives.

Yea, so.. another year has passed.. but what's special about this time of year, is that I was reborn.  Kicked the bucket, dumped the pail, made a sand castle out of it. Yep!  You folks all get to endure my hippie-peace flags waving & beach pics & fruitcake-jumping-for-life pics because why?  I was reborn 21 years ago about this time.  I'm officially legal all over again!  Prost!  I think that's cause for a celebration, don't you?  =)  Happy 21st Birthday to ME! Yes, I feel young, happy, blessed & grateful for everything.  Amazing that one small incident can alter a state of being in a second.....& another can make it OK...or take it away.. I was lucky.  So tell the people you care about how much you do, & love them with all your heart.  Because maybe someone loved me, & wouldn't have been able to tell me; like my Kids who came some years later. =)  Life is so short, respect it. Respect people.  Put differences aside. Forget the stupid stuff.  Nothing is more important than your loved ones.  Time is short & time is all we have. Always leave on a good note.  You never know which day your last words will be said.  

Make a statement!  Make it love.

Peace. ~hYdE

There is a beginning & an end to everything......
It's simply a personal choice to take & make the best of both.

Go Bigger

Perhaps many people are afraid of getting what they truly want, 

taking the dive into something bigger, something better... 

challenging themselves; because there's much more to lose if they did. 

But the secret is: If you haven't tried, you've already lost a lot.

Dad

Growin' up we didn't have a lot of money, my dad took us on a lot of explorations around Long Island (& of course off as well), we camped on LI (which felt like we were off it), & dad showed me all the secret spots he found through his travels - when I was a child/teen. His lessons & explorations taught me to appreciate the beauties of the places in which we live &/or surround us, & inspired me to do the same with my own children, & showed me what it really means to be rich. I love you dad, with all my Heart. There is no better gentleman, no better guy than you on this entire Earth. Thank you for showing me the way, so I can carry this torch for the role I now must portray. Happy Father's Day. ♥ And Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there who inspire, love, teach, respect, protect; who set a great example & set high standards with the huge responsibility of being a great parent~!!

Wishing you all things Beautiful; Warm, Happy, Pleasant Days, & lots of Sun & Sand at the Beach. ♥
