Happy Easter!

I hope you have a great Easter weekend.


Spend the time with the family, contemplate what is important in your life and take the time to look ahead. Is your life how you thought it would be? If it isn't, change it! All the power is within you. All you need, is the first step. Do that this weekend.


Evaluate where you are today.


Look to see where you want to go.


See what it takes to get there.


Make the plan to get to where you want to go.


And most importantly...take the first step!


Have a great Ester weekend.

We all have to do some good...

Please support me on the ride by giving a donation.




Thanks and happy health!

Ode to Parents

Ode to Parents

By Oliver Huls

 

Now that I have children of my own

And I understand

The love that you have

And the sorrow and joy you have felt

How can I ever thank you

 

You loved me

You hugged me

You taught me respect

You made me get a job

You held me when I cried

You implemented curfews

You taught me how to save

You made me clean my room

You were proud of my success

You taught me how to drive a car

You taught me how to ride a bike

You came and watched my sports

You disciplined me when required

You taught me how to eat properly

You had to know or meet my friends

You taught me the value of education

You sacrificed your time and money for me

You stayed up with me all night when I was sick

You encouraged me to work harder through my losses

 

So here I am

With kids of my own

And I finally understand

And I struggle how to tell you

How grateful I am

For the love you provided

But I’m proud to say

Because of the way you raised me

That I found a way to

Thank you

 

I will love my children

The way you loved me

The Dash by Linda Ellis

Have you ever read this poem? Have a read. It is a great reminder of why we were put on this earth. Save a copy, clip it to your bathroom window or something, but read it and read it often!

Do you have any other poems like this, please share!


I decide to take down the poem as the author is quite litigious. Look up "The Dash by Linda Ellis" on Google and you will find it.


Basically it is a motivational poem about making something of your life.
