Surprise the special person in your life today. Surprise him/her often. Why wait for a birthday or holiday? Make today and everyday special. It doesn’t always have to be a gift. It can be a sticky note on the bathroom mirror. It can be hot cup of coffee as he/she steps out of the shower. C’mon use your imagination.Â

💡 Something to Think About
One day it will be your turn to be successful and we will be cheering you on. It’s going to happen. You know it is. Keep your head down. Keep working. Don’t give up. It’s going to happen as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.
💡 Something to Think About
How much of yourself do you own? You know what I mean. Do you have folks reaching and grabbing hold of a piece of you? If  you’re not careful, you’ve given it all away. There’s nothing left for you. No wonder you’re exhausted. Is it time to reclaim some of those pieces? Is it time to have the courage to say, ‘No?’
💡 Something to Think About
Twenty-four hours, that’s what we all have. How we use the time we have makes all the difference in our lives. How are you spending the time you have? Is it making you a better person? Is it building the relationships you are in? Is it advancing your career? Are you discovering time to relax and unwind? Have you loved those important to you?
💡 Something to Think About
Here’s an experiment for you. Stand back to back with that special person in your life. Take turns describing what you see without turning your head. It’s the way life is, we only have a partial view of reality, we don’t have the full view. We need to hear other views to gain a clearer picture of our reality.
💡 Something to Think About
Clean air, clean water, green trees, beaches, mountains, birds soaring through the sky. I love this planet Earth. It’s our home. It’s the home we will leave to our children. Taking good care of our planet is a wonderful legacy to give to our children.
💡 Something to Think About
There is wisdom in the saying, “when one door closes, another opens.” Losing something important hurts and sometimes the hurt is deep and lasting. If we hold on, we’ll find that another door has opened and it is waiting for us to walk through.Â
💡 Something to Think About
Thunderstorms are predicted for this part of south Texas over the next few days. We need the rain. The Texas sun baked the ground. Without the rain and storms, we wouldn’t enjoy the sun. Without the hot sunny days, we wouldn’t enjoy the rain. That’s the way it is with life. Sometimes, it takes missing something  to appreciate what we had.
💡 Something to Think About
Some things we take for granted until we no longer have them like good health, friendship, and love. When we lose them we experience a great emptiness. Nurture your health, friendships, and those you love. The payoff is better than anything the stock market can give you.
💡 Something to Think About
I see lots of lights shining in darkness. Each time someone helps a friend, family member, or neighbor, a light shines. Each time someone stands up for what is right in the face of intense opposition, a light shines. Let your light shine.Â
