Good morning...
I found this sign in the Bahamas. Smile!!! I loved it and had to take a photo. Maybe the baby's name is Sally.
Now for my post. I am late this morning because I addressed cards for half the night last night. What a relief to have them 'done.'
UNSUNG HEROES
I know you will agree about the photos I am about to share. The photos were sent to me in an email. Christmas has me all emotional just thinking about those who have huge challenges in their lives and they meet these challenges 'head on.' They are heroes in every sense of the word.
Doesn't this say it all?
How can we ever complain about our lives, when you see the heroes in these photos and the countless many who have such monumental challenges in their lives.
I'm not saying everyone with missing limbs meets these challenges but those who do, are my heroes. How about you?

HAPPY BLUE MONDAY
Blessings and love,
JEANNE
Morning Jeanne,
Photos like these cause me to pause and thank God that I have all of my limbs-even though my legs aren't so good anymore. It's a matter of counting my many blessings.
I like the blue license plate; thanks for thinking of me even on your vacation!
Happy Blue Monday!

Most people probably can't imagine going through such challenges, the smile of triumph on the boy's face is priceless.

Reminds me of that old saying about walking without shoes . . . until I met a man who had no feet.
Thanks for playing today.
Happy Blue Monday, Jeanne.

You should never take things in life for granite. Lord knows, those of us that are more fortunate certainly need to give thanks every day. I truly have been blessed and am so thankful.Mine has to be from family genes.Slow down and enjoy the New Year.

I have a friend and her son who are both battling life threatening cancer issues right now, Jeanne. I am constantly praying for them. They remind me of what really is important in life -- faith, good health and the love of family and friends!
Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2014 my friend!
Hugs,
Pat

Awesome pics. They left me speechless. We should count our blessings each day and never discount the value of all mankind.
