Overcoming obstacles

Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Another magnificent morning! Am glad it is Saturday; just 'because'. Also my 'elixir' (coffee) is wonderfully hitting the spot! Methinks with all the events of this past week, it is refreshing to have a 'bit of a breather'. We will appreciate our gracious Blessings all the more, and will reflect / recharge at the same time.

On an upbeat note, the February 19th meeting between our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and President Obama went very well; and methinks things got off to a solid start towards building a better future, both at home and abroad.

Eventhough our week was 'chaotic', we can look back on it - 1) with relief that it has passed and 2) out of adversity and exasperating experiences, there was some 'good' that was achieved! It really is how you look at things. We did not receive word yesterday afternoon about our business project; therefore, we will hear on Monday. We are Prayful and hopeful that all will work out successfully.

Yesterday afternoon (you can refer to yesterday's post, if you wish a bittid!) our very good friend came over with the 'bubbly'; and we enjoyed such a fun visit! As mentioned, we supplied the appies and a crackling fire. She arrived at 3:00 ish and left at 8:00ish! She and I still had hardly 'scratched the tid surface!' LOL! She is a special person; and I am thankful she is my 'partner in crime!' LOL! Her husband had an early evening event; so it worked out for the best!

Last night we watched the moving movie, 'Seabiscuit'. It is one of my favourite movies; and it is a true story! If any of you wish to be encouraged and inspired, that is the heartfelt movie to see! I just love it! If I were to see 'Seabiscuit' several times, I would always learn a 'new' tidbit!

This afternoon, we are taking our Blue to the Vet for his yearly checkup and booster shots. We figure if there is any reaction (which is not likely), he will have the weekend to 'rest and recoop'. Talk about a 'dog's life!' He is a good animal!

Also, our Canucks are playing the Maple Leafs later today; and inasmuch as Matt Sundin was an ex Maple Leafer, I trust he will be treated with respect; both by his ex team members as well as the fans in T.O. We really like Matt; and apart from him fitting in well with our team, he brings a genuine enthusiasm and professionalism to the game! Interesting, that it is 'Hockey Day in Canada' (tournaments are played throughout Canada today!); and that the Canucks are playing today in Toronto!

Tidbit - It is better to Give, than to Receive! Make a poignant point of genuinely 'uplifting' all those you meet (a smile, a small kindness, whatever you wish) goes a long way; particularly during these uncertain times. A smile has no value until it is given away; so it costs you nothing. Yet, it will uplift the person it is given to, because who knows how needful that person may be.

Bittid - Continue to be appreciative for each and every day; regardless of your bittidz circumstances. There is always a tidbitz to be 'Thankful' for; if not, 'find something' to be 'Grateful' for! Also, when you focus on others and on 'giving', you, as well as others, are uplifted asap. 'Praise Him In ALL Things!' He says, 'Fear Not, For I Have Overcome the World!'

Have to go for now; hope you are enjoying the weekend!

Peace and God Bless.
