We choose what to remember ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 22 of 366 ~ 01/22/12

Living is like tearing through a museum. 


Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking 


about it, looking it up in a book, and 


remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.


: o ) Audrey Hepburn

Today the famous Joe Paterno passed away at the age of 85 years old.  He will be missed and he will be remembered and loved for a very, very long time.

Those who played for the man and was coached by him will ponder all the memories that have been placed in their heart.

The family that lived with him, and shared him with so many will without a doubt cherish the legend, the husband and the father for years to come.  The grandchildren can look at his legacy that he left with awe and pride.

The school will mourn but also grow in the knowledge that they had the chance to be present through all the great moments of his life.

Well done Joe.  May your star in heaven burn bright and may you rest in peace.  God Bless you and your Family.

This weeks affirmation (New)

This day is mine to reflect and project the joy in my heart for this gift of life.  I choose to live a life that shapes and molds the energy that surrounds me.  I am a perfect design and I choose to let that design in practice make a difference for others.  I love that opportunity that has been given to me.  

Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
