| This week is filled with PASSION, HOPE and PRIDE with Valentine's day coming, round #15 for Brian, and many more Olympics to watch on TV... This little grouping includes my LOVE blocks, and HOPE wall hanging,which states... "Live for today, Hope for tomorrow" ...and our Olympic Mitts to help us HOLD onto all of our LOVE, HOPE and PRIDE in our hands and our hearts! February is always a month that revolves around LOVE and PASSION and this year is no exception to that! In fact in addition to that is our CANADIAN PRIDE as we passionately watch team Canada compete in the Winter Olympics in Sochi. What's better than watching the world come together to cheer on the countries as they watch their HOPES and DREAMS come to life with a whole lot of PRIDE! With VALENTINE'S DAY coming up this week... there will be many reminders to be passionate. Yesterday's 8th annual STARS OF HOPE annual fund raiser for CANCER was a huge success once again. I believe I have only missed one of these shows since it began. This show is co-ordinated by two dance friends of mine... sisters, Nicole and Nadine Riehl. I love this event... as it brings dancers, dance teachers and friends together to raise money and HOPE for a cause that touches nearly everyone in one way or another. This weekend... we are thinking of our grandkids and their parents who are enjoying a little vacay. We had HOPED to be on that trip with them, but we had to put that trip on hold for this year due to circumstances beyond our control. They had quite a journey to get there, with cancelled flights and airport delays, etc... so for that reason, I am grateful we were not on the trip... but I know they will have a wonderful time now that they ave arrived in their destination...and many memories to cherish for a long time. Colin has decided to stay on for an extention on his trip to Thailand for an extra 3 weeks as well... so we are HOPING he continues to share his enthusiasm and PASSIONS through his emails with us while he is there. I enjoyed times spent with family and friends alike over meals, gym and shopping outings, and more this past week. Brian also had a couple of friends stop by this weekend... Scott and Steve... and we always enjoy times we can share with all friends and family. Tonight we will be sharing some time with my nephew, Brad and his wife, Janelle when we join them for a sushi supper outing . Last night I watched one of the best shows ever on TV. It was special salute to the night THE BEATLES arrived in America. On February 9th, 1964, THE BEATLES performed for the first time on the famous Ed Sullivan show. There were several musical artists coming together to celebrate the BEATLES...and the show was such a show of PASSION, HOPE and PRIDE for me... recalling all the memories surrounding that special time in history that continues to live on in time. I have loved all the Olympics I have managed to watch on TV all weekend so far with more to come. The opening ceremony was spectacular, too... also lots of moments of PASSION, HOPE and PRIDE! I continue to watch other tv shows I enjoy where I can fit them in!!! One of those shows is American Idol where singers can share their passion, hope and pride as well. I have been into playing scrabble lately... it brings out passionate memories of my mom as we played it a lot together back in the day... now I try to get in a game a day if I can...and have a mix of passion, hope and pride while playing it as well!!! On that note... here is my rhyme of the day... In my life... each day is like a ride... Filled with passion, hope and pride. Dancing through life from day to day, With a song in my heart along the way. Cheering on the many hopes of others, From little ones... to fathers and mothers. Watching a world come together as one, Enjoying all the love...and also the fun! |
