Be Positive About the Future

Picture taken yesterday in Ouray CO. I went and captured the Ice Climbers. Amazing. Click on picture to see larger image.How many Ice Climbers can you count in this picture? The boy to the right of the bare rock is only 7 years old.

Be Positive about the future.If you think positive about your future thats probably how it will turn out.If you think gloomy toughts then more than likely thats the way it will turn out.The future has not happened yet so you can decide how it ends up.There will always be challenges but with those challenges lie possibilities. Turn those possibilities in to positives and your on your way to a bright future.If you expect the best and work forward in a possitive way then the best possibilities will come your way.The future is being born right now with your thoughts and actions. So choose to make your actions and thoughts count. To all a safe and Happy New Years.As always don't forget to count your blessings and share with the ones you love.Love always and forgive quickly. Don't forget to smile along the way.
God Bless

Things Will Go Wrong

I took this picture yesterday.Just down the street from our house. Another Beautiful Colorado Day!

Things will go wrong. You can count on it.In fact expect it.Remember that our good lord won't give you more than you can handle. When things do go wrong you can be confident that they won't go wrong for very long. In fact they will begin to correct it's self as soon as it goes wrong.Kind of like a wound. As soon as it happens it starts healing..Things that are broken get repaired or replaced.Things that don't work become lessons and get turned into things that do work.Remember when things go wrong it's not the end of the world.It's the beginning of progress and growth,learning and improvement.Don't wait for things to go wrong. But when they do,choose to take advantage of the situation and move forward, move on and grow. Don't forget to smile along the way.Forgive quickly and Love always. I want to thank everyone for visiting my blog today.The positive input keeps me going. Today I might go do a little fishing.Get the oil changed in my truck and go take some pictures of this beautiful area that I am blessed to live in.After I make a pasta salad for mom. Happy Friday it's almost a New Year and I am so excited to see what this year will bring.

Things are about to get better.

This picture I took last night on our back patio as the sun was setting. This is 4 pictures stiched together.Something I am learning how to do.Click on picture to see larger image.

Things are about to get better. Much better in fact.If things seem to be getting worse just hold on for a short time. In reality they are more than likely just about to get better.They say the night is at it's darkest point just before dawn lights the sky.When problems come into the open where everyone can see they them they are really close to being solved. As challenges grow bigger so do the opportunities for foward and positive progress.Turn the negatives into positives.Choose to turn the mountains into moal hills.The boulders into pebbles.By doing so things are getting better and moving in a forward direction. Except the changes that forward direction will lead to. Good or bad forward is still forward and forward is better.The opportunities are always there to move forward.You just have to choose to except change and allow forward progress.Things are about to get better. Much better... Thank you for visiting my blog today.Hope you have a blessed Thursday and allow yourself to continue moving forward. Don't forget to Smile along the way.
Love always and forgive quickly.

Get Er Done!

Taken yesterday over looking our lake as the sun went down.

Get Er Done... Need I say more. I have talked about this one before but feel its very importants.Why put off unitl tomorrow what can be done today. Procrastination is a polite word for LAZY.No matter how unpleasant the task at hand might be it's going to be just as bad tomorrow.The sooner you get it done the more enjoyment you will have in accomplishing the task.If theres something you have been putting off step back and look at why you have been doing so. You will soon realize that those reasons will get worse with time.Consider how bad you feel that you have do it. But also consider how much joy will come once it's behind you.So choose to free yourself from the burden and just Get Er Done! You will be thankful you did. Count your blessings daily as they add up with satisfaction and truth. Rest well in confidence that you Got Er Done. To all a great Wed. Remember to love always. Forgive quickly and Smile forever.

The Good Things In Life

The view from my Fathers back yard. picture taken Christmas Day.

The good things in life is what we should focus on. If you spend your time thinking of the things that are wrong in our lifes one your wasting your time and two you more than likely will create more problems.By focusing on the possitive things in our lifes we make them more plentyfull and make our thoughts stronger and more valuable.Ask your self and be honest with a few questions. What makes you happy? What makes a difference in your world and others around you? What brings a smile to your face? By answering these questions honestly you can't help but to focus on the good things in life.Define yourself by whats right with you and not whats wrong.Count your blessings and you will create many more. Start each day with a smile and focus on what's right in your life and I promise when you lay your head at night you will have created many more blessings.Smile always and forgive qickly. I want to thank everyone who visits my blog as I have noticed we have reached 1,000 visitors. Thank you so much for the inspiration and feel free to leave coments and thoughts on posts. I would love to hear from you.

From the Heart.

The view looking out my Dads front door yesterday.

Often our ego's get in the way when dealing with every day life. We are quick to react with ego and ignorance instead of from the heart.Instead of reacting to petty superficial things with emotions and ego.Choose to react to lifes challanges from the center of your being. Your Heart.Supporting the demands of your ego will use up all your energy,time and resources. Your ego might often promise you pleasure but at the end it will rob you of the real joy that you are seeking. Your ego will provide a hallow image where your heart will provide you with the strength to concour any obstacle that crosses your path. Choose to be guided by your heart. I hope every one had a wonderful Christmas and gave far more than they received.
Less than a week until we start a new year. Start by letting your heart guide you. Smile always and forgive quickly.
God Bless

Be honest with your thoughts.

Picture taken yesterday with my new camera.According to my book. It's an American Robin.

Be honest with your thoughts.Your thoughts can work for you or they can work against you.Choose to use the thoughts that work for you and a good start is to be honest with what you are thinking.Choose thoughts that energize you and put wind in your sails.Your thoughts take no effort to hold on to and act on.You need no permission from anyone to hold them close to your heart and be honest with them.These thoughts will guide you along the right path in life and create real value.They controll the way you respond to every experience.By creating this value skys the limit. You will hurdle over any obstacle that comes your way.By doing this you will make correct decisions for you. After all this is whats most important.Strengthen your thoughts and strengthen your world. Rembmer to love always and smile along the way.If for any reason it will keep others wondering.To all a blessed Sunday. SMILES!

Don't back down

Snow this morning.We just might have a white xmas... :)

Never back down.Except the daily challenges and the possibilites that come with them.Be honest with your self at where you are in life. Take it in stride and continue to move forward.With every challenge is an opportunity.Be realistic with your challenges and where you want to be.The road to accomplishment is paved directly through the daily challenges.You know what must be done and the direction to get it done.Only you have the power to obtain success.So keep moving forward jump through the hoops and over the hurdles and you will succeed.Remember to love always and forgive quickly along the way. Keep on smiling.After all we are alive and are blessed to be where we are today.No matter what it took to get here nor what it will take to continue on.Just keep moving on and don't back down.To all a great day.

You have an opportunity today.

Still one of my favorites. I took this picture a little over a year ago over looking Carson Valley in Nevada.

If you choose to make evan a small possitive difference today your will end the day ahead of where you started.If you take even a small step forward towards your dreams then you are moving in the right direction.Each day and each moment will pass by quickly regardless weather you make use of the time or not.So choose to use your time wisely.You can't expect to solve all your problems or the worlds problems in one day.But you can choose to move productively and creatively in a possitive direction. By choosing to move forward with every chance you get tomorrow will come and be much easier and you will eventually arrive at exactly where you intend to go.This day and moment is your opportunity to get one step closer. Remember that doors are closed so that others can be opened.To all a blessed Sunday. Say or do something nice for a friend today and don't forget to smile along the way. Forgive quickly and love always.

Dreams come true

Geese coming in for a landing on our lake yesterday.

Your dreams can and will come true if you make the effort to persue them.It is important to remind yourself of your dreams. It's important to set goals and put time limits on them as well.You might not be able to fullfill your dreams rigth now but you can stand up and work in a possitive direction getting one step closer to your goals. By reminding yourself of your goals you are working one step closer to them.With every choice,with every decision you are that much closer.Focus on your intentions that you most desire. Don't let anybody persuade you or take you off track.Know exactly what you want and keep it real. The end result will be very satisfying.To all a great Tuesday. Remember to smile and keep things in perspective.Forgive quickly and laugh always.

One step after another.

This morning the snow is starting to fall.

Take one step, then another and another. Before you know it you will have covered a great distance.Take one possitive action then another and another and soon you will have much to show for your efforts.Just keep going and the accomplishments will start to add up.Even with a bunch of little efforts they will grow into substantial gains.It is easy to take small steps but are you willing to put the effort forward to take enough of them so that they add up.If your willing to do this no goal is out of reach. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and continue marching forward. To all a blessed Saturday. Don't forget to smile along the way.Forgive quickly and dance always.

Sooner than Later

Taken while hunting a couple weeks ago. 10,000 feet in the Colorado Mountains.

The sooner you deal with a problem the lesser the problem will be. The sooner you act on an oppertunity the more value the oppertunity will have. The longer you wait the more disadvantage you will have. The time to act is now. It does not matter how far behind you might be or how far ahead you might think you are.There is always something you can do. Choose to act sooner than later and you will find the more effective your actions will be. Stop waiting for the conditions to be perfect.No matter how the conditions are you can always choose to act now and work in a possitive way to move forward. Sure there are many excuses not to act now but thats exactly what they are. EXCUSES. The benifits are far more from acting now than the excuses are from not acting now. The sooner you act the better the outcome will be. Choose to act now and not make excuses.The time spent making the excuses is time wasted moving forward towards your goals and dreams. One is never to young to dream. To all a blessed Tuesday. Remember to forgive quickly,Love always and never regret one moment. Dont forget to smile.

Maintaining Determination

Birds can walk on water.. Not really they are standing on a piece of Ice on our lake.

With enough determination, no goal is out of reach. Determination carries you past seemingly most any obstacle and makes things real that were once considered impossible.So how do you create and maintain determination to take you where you want to go? To maintain your determination, you must remember it is nothing more than a concept in your mind. As long as you can keep that concept of determination at the front of your mind, it will work for you. As long as you can remember, with passion and with clarity, the what, why and how of your determination, it will carry you forward.
When the challenges come, remember that you are determined and you will be. Though your determination won’t solve your problems for you, it can keep you going long enough for you to solve them yourself.
What things in your life do you truly wish to change, or improve, and why? Sincerely answer that question, and you’ll discover plenty of determination within yourself. Keep that determination in mind as each moment goes by, and you’ll accomplish whatever you choose to accomplish. Keep it real, Happy Monday everyone. Smile Always.
God Bless

Take Action and Follow Through.

Sunset on the lake Thanksgiving evening.

The best of intentions are of little use until you follow through on them. The most carefully planned out plans bring no value until acted apon.There are lots of things you’ve been meaning to do. One look at them all will prove that intentions alone are not enough. Youve thought about your intentions, talked about them, dreamed, planned and speculated. Today is your opportunity to follow through. Take action, and the things you’ve been meaning to create will start to become real. Follow through on your most treasured dreams, and you’ll then be in a position to reach even higher.It feels great to think about all the good things you plan to do. It feels even better to actually get them done.Dream and plan, think and talk about all the great things you intend to do. Then follow through. Don't let anybody or anything get in your way. Follow your dreams.One is never to old to have dreams and take the steps to fullfill them. To all a great Saturday. Laugh uncontrollably,Smile always and forgive quickly.

Live everyday to it's fullest extent.Go ahead and laugh,Go ahead and cry.Jump and smile, Laugh and sing.Let life get you. live always smile much. Let be what will be and all will work out. To all a wonderful Thrusday we have almost made it through another week. Remind a friend or a loved one how much you care that they are in your life. Forgive quickly and have not regrets.

It's ok to be yourself

Geese landing on our lake last week. It's rainy and cool today. Almost snowing.

It's ok to be yourself.It's ok to be who you are and desire what you desire.In fact its better than ok it's what makes us what we are.The things that bring you joy will also bring you the greatest opportunities to give to life.It will also move you towards being the best you can be. We are all amazing in our own ways with our own perspective of life and the way it should be.Be who you are and create the unique joys that you have to give.The beauty of life is what you know it to be. Not anybody elses.Do you wish to be happy? Then be happy. You have the right and know how to so why not be happy.Happyiness is a state that you can enter anytime you want to.You don't necessarily need one thing or person to make you happy either. If you are looking for one thing or one person most often you will be let down. Look for happiness within your self. This is something that nobody or anything can take from you.  Remember Don't worry be happy. Don't sweat the small stuff and for god sake have no regrets. Forgive quickly and smile always. Be yourself and be happy. To all a great Wed. We have made it to hump day 1/2 way to the weekend. woo hoo.

Go with the flow.Don't rush life.

Beautiful Fall Colors here in Montrose CO.

Learn to have some patience.Learn to go with the flow.Don't rush life.Choose to let life unfold in it's natural state.When you try to hard all you get is trying and the frustration that comes along with it.Let life's goodness come to you and you will see that there is no reason to try to grab it.Pushing against the flow will exhaust you and bring you frustration. Choose to go with the flow.Receive what comes your way with open arms and make the best of every situation.Always stay possitive and stear away from negativity.If knocked down get back up. Never never give up. Each time you choose to stand back up you are one step closer to acomplishing your goals and reaching your dreams. No one ever said that it was going to be easy. So get back up dust yourself off and keep that smile going. Remember to smile always, forgive quickly and give to others more than you recieve. To all a wonderful Tuesday.

Do it your way,and do it well.

This was the sunset on our lake last night. Breathtaking.

Do it your way and do it well. If your going to spend the effort you might as well do it right.You can't cheat life so don't even try. You'll only end up cheating yourself.By cheating yourself you will regret the loss.When you do what you do choose to do it right.Even if you think no one else will see.You will always know that you did it your way and will have the joy of knowing you did it right.This joy and confidence is worth more than gold.It doesnt always have to be perfect but as close to perfect as you can make it will be just fine as long as you give it your best shot.The quality of what you recieve in life is reflected by the quality that you give to life.Make it honest.Make it right.Make it real and you will succeed in most of what you set out to do. Don't sweat the small stuff and remember to smile along the way. Take the time today to tell a friend or a loved one how much you appreciate them in your life. Forgive quickly,Love and laugh always. To everyone a blessed Monday.Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Know who you are.

 
We went up and scouted out are hunting and camping area yesterday.This is the view from where we are going to camp.
Do you know who you really are? What it is that you truly seek? Lifes challenges is not about gaining abundance.Its about reconizing lifes values and turning them into things that are meaningful and fullfilling.Know who you are by doing so. Follow your dreams and put truth into your actions and each moment in your life and others.You must focus and your actions must have purpose.There is no success without purpose.We are skilled at taking action and making things happen. So choose the things to act on and support who you are and what you most believe in.This will reflect who you really are.Pay great attention to who you are and you will experience life to its ablsolute best. To all a great Friday and even a better weekend. Remember your words mean more than you can ever imagine so be careful and thoughtfull with what you say. A smile goes a long ways , Live,Love and Laugh always.

A bright future with being positive.

Yesterday we had close to 1000 birds on the lake.This is just one group.The beautiful fall colors are here along with the birds.

The future is bright especially when you stay positive and surround yourself with positive people.Those who are negative waste no time letting everyone know how bad things seem.Those who are positive quietly move forward creating a bright future for themselfs and the ones around them.There is always challenges in life.Those who choose to be positive choose to turn the challenges into opportunities.Those of us who choose to have the courage,discipline and commitment to follow our dreams bring the rest of the world along for the ride.Those who choose to make the best out of what they have, make the world better for everyone.A friend posted that your words make a difference. That is so true you have no idea how your words affect others around you. Be careful with what you say. Stay positive and when speaking speak from the heart.Negative people dwell on the past. Where postitive people work there way eagerly towards a bright future.Life will get better and better for you and the people around you if you choose to make it so.
A bright future is just around the corner. Stay strong and smile always. To all a blessed Wed.
I have made it back from CA. I had a wonderful trip but glad to be back. I have so much to do as we will be going into hunting camp in about a week 1/2 . Oh boy tent camping for almost 2 weeks. LOL can't wait.
Remember to forgive quickly,laugh uncontrolably and smile always.

a rainbow of success

I took this picture yesterday with my camera phone. Was a beautiful rainbow.

You can have a rainbow of success.There are more definitions of success than there are people to pursue it.
Real success is what feels right to you.If you have to sacrifice what you believe thats not success.If you make yourself miserable doing ,well thats not success.Real success is obtained by living life how you see fit. How it all works for you.Its not about aquiring things or possesions. Its not about having power over others.Its about being in controll of yourself.Success is what you work to give not a possestion you try to gain.You will never be happy by obtaining items that you don't truly cherrish.Happiness is gained when you just let it be. No conditions and no requirements.Move past the dissapointment of a dream that is not truly yours.Choose to find happiness in the little things. Often we over look the little things and miss out on many things we never even realized we had right in front of our face. Don't sweat the small stuff and be happy for what you have. Smile always and forgive quickly.
I have been enjoying myself in CA. with friends and family.However its been raining the past couple of days.Went out last night with my old buddy Gene and had a great time.Will be heading home sometime next week. Still have lots to do here and lots of people to see. To all a great Thursday.

You can get it done.

I took this picture as the sun was coming up crossing Utah on my way to California.

You have the means to get it done. Theres no doubt about that.If it just doesn't seem to be happening for you then somewhere you are lacking the will it takes to get it done.Of course there is obstacles. Its not easy and there are plenty of excuses and reasons why you have not gotten it done. Although you know its possable and indeed it is. Excuses won't get it done and will do nothing but wast valuable energy. Focus and persistance will lead you in the right direction everytime. Its your life and your choice so choose wisely. If your living with passion and purpose and spending your time wisely you will succeed.You will pass any obstacle in your way. If you had all the time,money and power in the world what direction would you take. Stop for one moment and consider all this.The time and the power to head in the right direction is far more important than the money part. And besides we already have the time and the power. So why not start right here and now. Don't wait another day and don't make excuses just say you can get it done and you will. Don't sweat the small stuff and choose to turn the rocks into pebbles.Don't forget to smile along the way, forgive quickly and love always.
Sorry Its been a few days since I have been on here. Been busy and have headed to CA. Made it yesterday. It was so good to see friends and family. Today we are off to Chico CA for the Sprint Car Races, I miss the races so much. To all a wonderful and safe weekend.

You can have success

A beautiful night last nigh on the lake.

You to can have success. Step back and take a look at the priorities you have set in your life. Ask yourself are you staying on track. How are your actions and your time spent reflecting your priorities? Are you moving in the right direction? If your priorities are truly important to you then you must follow your heart and take action to make your dreams come true. If you are not using your time and following your heart and you are always at conflict with this then your not going to be successful. You have to truly want to achieve your goals. You have to focus your time and energy in rythm with your heart and mind or you won't be successful. Put more or your time,efforts and thoughts where your heart is. Buy doing this you will tie together your priorities. You will be on your way to being successful. You will be one step closer to obtaining your goals and dreams. Don't get caught up in the shallow world that we live in. Don't get caught up in the every day life problems that we see and hear. Don't just settle for getting by. We often get trapped in a negative state and are perfectly happy at just getting by. I doubt that any one of us have are dreams set at just getting buy. So don't fall for it continue to move forward and reach out and obtain what your trying to accomplish. It's much closer than you might think. Don't sweat the small stuff, Forgive quickly,love always and never regret one moment in time or anybody or anything that makes you smile. To all a great Monday. Thank you again for visiting my blog today.

Know where you are headed.

I captured this picture a few months back. A yellow headded black bird in flight by the lake.

Know where you are headed.If the little things seem to be getting you down. Spend some time looking up.Take a moment to look at the big picture.The more you understand the big picture the less the little things will bother you. Understand and know the direction that you are headed.If you have no idea of your direction then even the little things can get blown out of proportion.You will find your self focusing on the little things instead of putting that energy on whats more inportant and continuing to move forward.When your energy is used wisely in this way the little things arrise and end up being exactly that. Little.By knowing your direction and the road that your to follow you won't be bottherd by the bumps in the road nearly as much.The road will be bumpy but turn those rocks into pebbles by keeping a clear focus on the direction you are headed.The more possitive you clearly know your route the more successful you will be dealing with the challenges.Give yourself the power to know where your headed.If you let yourself have a bad day you will be very unproductive in moving in the correct direction. Don't get slowed down by the pebbles in the road. Continue to focus and you will succeed. Happy Sunday everyone.Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe weekend and stayed on track.I am leaving in the middle of the week to head for California and will try to keep my blog up and hope to get some new pictures on my trip.Lets watch some Football and some Nascar.As always thankyou for your support and for visiting my blog today.

Life is great.

This was taken looking out my front door a few months ago as the sun was coming up. LOL I don't think I've seen the sun rise since.

Life is great no matter whats going on in it at the present time.It's great when others talk highly of you.Yet life does not depend on what others think.Life is great when things are going your way. Yet life does not depend on everything always being perfect.Life is great when fortune shines on you. Yet we gain value and knowledge by making it through the tough times.Life is great when you get it right the first time. Yet we gain wisdom and courage by making it through the dissapointments and challenging times.Life is great spending time relaxing. Yet life can become empty if thats all you do.No matter what life brings you, there is always great possibilites to make the best of it and live life to your fullest capabilities.You have to first let your self understand that you are worth it. You are worth the effort to achieve your goals.You are worth the pain and effort to get through each days ups and downs.Make what ever efforts are necassary to concour what ever setbacks come your way. Life is full of ups and downs yet choose to make life great by choosing how to handle each and every one in your own unique way. Remember to smile and keep your head up.Hey we all have made it through another week. It's Friday and one step closer to my vacation. Yaaaa. Again thank you for visiting my blog today. When I get back I am thinking about having a contest on here. The winner will recieve one of my 8x10 framed photos. More details later. To all a great Friday.

Be in a good mood

I don't put many pictures on here of me.I was asked what does the guy that wrights that blog look like?
lol well as you can see Im as ugly as the next guy. Hahaha, Here I am standing in the middle of the San Miguel River a few weeks ago fishing.

You are more than just being in a good or bad mood. You are the one that holds this thought in your mind and has control over it.You control what you think and how it all affects you and others around you.Your mood is not controlled by what happens around you. It is controlled by how you choose to handle what happens around you.We control what words to say, what actions to take and so on. So we also choose what moods we are in and how to control them.The next time you are feeling down or in a bad mood. Stop for a minute and choose to take control over your thoughs and your mood. Try to smile and make some possitive out of it. Example yesterday my truck broke down. I started getting frustrated then decided hey better it broke down now then next week on my way to California. I decided to smile, Call my insurance and will have it towed today and get it fixed. I came home and made some dinner and had a glass of wine.
All is well. By choosing to not let it get me down my mood was changed and went to bed feeling good.There are always plenty of reasons and excuses you can make to feel lousy and have a bad mood. But there are many more reasons to be in a good mood.So today wipe that frown off your face and choose a reason to be in a good mood. After all it's Thrusday and the weekend is almost here. That in itself is a great reason to smile. As always thank you for visiting my blog today.To all a wonderful Thursday. Remember don't sweat the small stuff. Hold your head up and smile.
God Bless

Look up and smile.

Birds taking off from our lake.Now that the weather is starting to cool off alot of the birds
are starting to come back.

Look up and smile. There is so much to be said about this statement. When I was young I remember getting off the school bus and walking home. On my way home I would often hear our neighbor yell at me. Damit son lift your head up when you walk. He would state at me.Don't walk by my house with your shoulders shrugged, Don't walk by my house looking at the ground. Hold your head up and your shoulders square. And damit son wipe that frown off your face. Smile... This is so true and so important. If you want a possitive outcome in your life you must be possitive about your self. One can't be possitive with a frown and looking down at the ground.Look up and smile.The more you look up the more things will look up.The more possitive you are in a physical sence the more possitive your life will be.Our mind and our body is all attached and they work together.If your sitting up straight, Walking with your head up it is hard to fall into a negative state.By doing so you will see more possitive things around you and will interact better with others.If you think about it would you rather deal with someone slouched down with a frown or someone that is bright eyed standing tall with a smile? With just a quick glance you can tell how someone is feeling most of the time. You can tell if the person is down or depressed. The best way to not be depressed is don't act depressed.If you want joy in you life then act with joy.So start today hold your head high with a smile. Throw your shoulders back with confidence and live your life with joy. Forgive quickly, Laugh uncontrollably, never regret one moment and don't waste one moment on negativity.To everyone thank you for visiting my blog today and to all a wonderful Wedensday.

Who cares what anybody else thinks.

Another beautiful sunset last night.

Expect a life of ups and downs.Expect a roller coaster ride and expect others to give there oppinions. If your expecting anything different your fooling yourself. A life without downs is for one impossable and two you would not like it at all. You can't enjoy what you have obtained if you did not have to fight throught the down times.Don't be bothered by negative voices around you either. You will always try to make a difference and somebody will always be there to tell you no. No matter how well you do someone will be there to shoot you down.Who cares what anybody else thinks? I try not to. I try to just keep moving on, let the haters be haters because thats what they do best.Don't get me wrong it is very valuable to understand what others think.But always keep in mind that other peoples opinions are just that. Opinions....Let others opinions support and encourage you in any way you can.But also keep in mind that often as we try to please others the end result in not pleasing anyone at all.Some people will not like you no matter what. Some people will disagree with you no matter how open minded or reasonable you are.Listen to there rejections and take them to heart. But continue to move forward and continue to do it your way. Even if your way might not be the correct way for them perhaps its the correct way for you. If the end result is not how you planned then you will learn from your mistake and be confident that you still did it your way and are still moving in the foward direction that you intended on doing in the first place.Don't waste that energy by dwelling on what others say.Use that energy in a possitive way. Even if the outcome is negative you will learn from that mistake and once your goal is accomplished it will make it much more worth while and you will be more thankful that you stuck it out and made it to the top.To all a great Tuesday and thank you again for visiting my blog. Rembmer don't sweat the small stuff, Forgive quickly and love always. Also who cares what anybody else thinks...Its not really that important.I will be leaving for a trip to CA in about a week. I don't know what type of interenet connection I will have but I will have my laptop and will try to continue posting my blogs.

Live life with no regrets.

Another beautiful sunset last night. This was taken standing on our back porch. I need to go meet the people that live in the house up on the hill and see if they would like a few of my pictures. I bet there carpets and blinds are burnt. LOL.

Live life with no regrets.But also make sure that your headed in the right direction and are living for the right reasons. We all try so hard to acquire a car,home,career,financhial secruity and so on. But remember all these things can and eventually will be taken from us.But what can't be taken is a life filled with love,joy,meaning and purpose.We are constantly working to gain power over others yet how much energy do we put into building ourselfs? We strive for worldly objects often missing out on what we already have.The value of your own life without all the material things in it.We often get caught up in trying to make everything perfect around us.Yet we should spend more time making everything perfect within us.We wish all are dreams come true.Instead of realizing the ones that already have come true. Just go with what you already have, Stop the worrying about all the little things in life.Worry about what you already have achieved.Live with no regrets and cherrish every moment.When making choices go with your gut instinct.Often over thinking will lead to no decision at all. Make the decision without any regrets and move closer to whats ahead. You can plan for the the future but you can't predict it. Live with no regrets. Thank you all for reading my blog today. Hope everone has a great Monday. Don't forget to forgive quickly,Don't sweat the small stuff and never regret one moment or anything that makes you laugh. Smile always.
God Bless

Be thankful with gratitude

Sunset last night.

Be thankful for what we have.Gratitude is vital in order to be successful in life.What ever you want to achieve,become or have the first step is to have gratitude.With gratitude the things that you appreciate,value and care for will increase in your life.Being thankful for what you already have will move you closer to what you want to have.Focusing on gratitude will keep you moving towards abundance instead of lack of limitiation.Not to mention leading to possitive thoughts.I have spoken many times how important possitive thoughts will help to guide you towards your goals.Without gratitude and possitive thoughts your actions probably won't work out the way you planned.Gratitude and being thankful will also brighten your day and others in the process.It will improve your relationship with others as well as improve the outcome of your day.We live in a world that is filled with endless possabilites. You can take advantage of them and make them much easier to obtain by being thankful with gratitude.After you have concoured the gratitude step the next step is to focus.By applying focus to the equation you will find strenght that we never knew we had. You will find things moving in the right direction.Your accomplishements will be achieved and enjoyed at a much higher lever than you ever imagined. By you as well as the others around you.So while making the effort today go ahead and apply some gratitude,and a little thankfulness. You will see it goes a long long ways. To everyone a blessed Sunday. Thank you friends and family for being there for me. I am very happy to have you in my life.Remember to forgive quickly.Never regret one moment and this is also obtained by applying gratitude to every moment of every day.
God Bless

One day you will stop making excuses.

East Portal, in the Black Canyon. So beautiful,so quiet and peaceful. This is where we talk to the fish gods.

Ond day you will stop making excuses and start making it happen.One day you will except each moment for what it is and except that it's a precious gift.One day you'll stop worring about what people say or think.One day you'll take full advantage of your knowladge and time and move closer to your goals.One day you will focus all your energy and thoughts in the direction of your highest vision.One day you'll decide to live each moment with meaning and purpose.Regardless of the petty things that hold us back in life.One day you will commit all you have to being the very best you can be.Well today is ONE DAY... Today is that day you finally decide to make it happen.When you believe you can do it your off to a good start. When you know you can do it without a doubt it will happen.One of our biggest obstacles is doubt. Doubt will delay you, Doubt will distract you and prevent you from taking action.Leave your doubts in the dust and make today the day. Make today One Day.. To all a great weekend. Prayers go out to all the victims and families at the Reno,NV air show.Life is so short as we know it and it's later than we might think. Since today is that day take the time to thank a friend or loved one for being in your life.Forgive quickly,Smile always.Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Keep going after results

Fishing yesterday.We had a full moon the night before so I did not do that well. But any day
of fishing is better than the best day at work.

When you get the results that you expected thats great. When you don't thats great to because you gain knowledge and experience.If your going through a difficult stretch keep going and you will get yourself past it.If your getting the wrong results just keep getting them and eventually you will get it right. After all you have been doing it your whole life.Look back at how far you have come. Look at even with the wrong result it helps you to continue to move forward.Regardless of the results you have moved one step closer to reaching your expectations.Always expect the best but understand and except what is achieved even if fallen short of your expectations.No matter what keep going, keep giving the effort and keep getting results.When the path gets harder there is no reason to give up. Remember the mountain gets steeper the closer you get to the summit.Just keep moving forward and soon you will find your self reaching the top.The greatest achievements come with the greatest challenges.No matter how steep the mountain, no matter what crosses your path just keep moving on. Great accomplishemnts are achieved by doing so. And you migh just be closer than you think. Don't forget to smile along the way. Forgive quickly and love always. To everybody thank you for reading my blog today. Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday. We have made it through another week.This was done by not giving up.
God Bless

Set a goal and go after it.

Picture taken by me in April.Another beautiful Sunset on the lake.

Do yourself a favor today. Give yourself a goal. Make it meaningful,Make it exciting and make it challenging.Then make it happen.Set your goal beond what you already know that you can do.That way when you reach it not only will you have the achievement but you will have an increased level of confidence.
As long as your giving the effort of life today make it worth while and give yourself this goal.Working steadily and progressivly towards this goal will energize your engines and keep you going in the right direction.It is a blessing that all of our dreams just don't instantly come true. We need to take our dreams and turn them into goals so that we can reach them.Working towards our dreams or goals is what makes them worth having.Your dreams will not come true in an instant. But you can start working on them instantly.You will learn and grow as you work towards your goals. Much satisfatcion will be gained once a dream or goal is accomplished.Skys the limit what ever you truely want you can obtain if you set your mind to it and never give up. Just put one foot in front of the other and reach out and grab it. To all a wonderful Thursday. Don't sweat the small stuff and don't let others negativity ruin your day. Don't forget to smile and set a goal for yourself today.
God Bless

Energize your life and count your blessings.

Us fishing the San Miguel River last month. I might just go fishing today after Im done
counting my blessings.

Every once in awhile its a good idea to remind yourself and others that you are wonderfully alive.We get so caught up in the day-to-day details that we forget this fact.It is all so easy to get run down and run out of energy from the demands of daily living.Sometimes it takes a big surprise,a big challange, or a great oppertunity that wakes us up and gives us a shot of adrenaline.But you don't have to wait for lifes changes to energize you.There are many other ways when you are finding your self run down and worn out. Keep in mind that life is very exciting in itself the only reason we get bored is because we allow ourselfs to become this way. You should start by counting your blessings. Think of all the things you are thankfull for in your life.It should be rather easy to come up with a long list. If you have trouble doing this start by thinking about life itself. Think about the oppertunity to grow.Think about the people that are all around you and that god has put in your life.In your mind go over each one and dwell on how great they are. The more you think of these possitive things the energy will grow inside you.No matter what dissapointments you have there is always something to be thankful for. Count those blessings again and again. You are then on your way to energizing your life.Remember to thank a friend or a loved one for being in your life today.It will energize you as well as them.Always love and smile. Never regret anyone or anything that makes you smile. Forgive quickly and you will bring more energy to your life as well as others.A friend of mine quoted yesterday something so very true. "Every 60 seconds spent unhappy is one minute of happiness that you'll never get back:" Very well said.I want to thank everyone today that reads my blogs. It energizes me to keeps me going. Feel free to comment on these posts at any time. I am a open person and love input. I am going to make a pea salad for mom then go pick me up some sandles with the bingo money I won last night. Then count my blessing and go talk to the fish gods. To all a great energized day..
God Bless

Value whats important

Sailboat on the lake this past weekend.So peaceful.

Value what's important.You can achieve wealth,fame and power.But if there is no love in your heart it all means nothing.Your life can be filled with excitement and drama but if theres no integrity it will lead to knowhere. The superficial things life makes out to seem so important are really not that important at all.The things that are really important we often ignore.Human nature we seem to fight and argue. Is all that really important. No. What truly matters are the things that others can't take away. No person or cirmcumstance cant take away your love,faith,integrity,passion or wisdom.Live by this rule as you go through each day.Approach each task in each day with understanding and patience.Be confident in your decision making and you will succeed. Don't let others weight you down. There are many out there that go through life feeding on negativity.Distance yourself from these people.These are the people that normally can't make there own decisions in life yet they seem to want to make decisions for you.These people often are lacking love,faith and integrity in there own life.Value whats important and distance yourself from the haters and negative people and they will move on and try to control someone else. Remember to always smile. Live,Love and Laugh. Forgive quickly and life will go much smoother. To all a great Tuesday.

Just be yourself.

Yesterday fishing at the lake with dad. Just being ourselfs. Had a great day limited
on Trout and Kokane Salmon. Then stopped on the way home at my secret spot and
caught a nice brown. What a great way to spend 9-11-11.

The most important job you have to do is being yourself. You have contributions to make and gifts to give that no one else can duplicate.You have your own throughts, you own perspective about the way life should be and you should share with others. Expect your way to be slightly different than others but thats what makes us all unique.Don't be scared to express your feelings in you own special way.There are great treasures in your authenticity.Live true to the best of who you are.Let your very own light shine. Shine it bright and shine if proud.Only you can do this only you can be you.So don't cheat yourself. By trying to be something that your not. Spend your time wisely and just be yourself. You would feel cheated if you spent money on something and got little value in return. So use your time to be yourself. Express yourself the way you feel you should.Right now you are alive in a world that is filled with possabilites so get with it and bring those possabilities to life by living and expressing in your own unique way. Just be yourself.
Hope everybody had a great weekend and even a better week to come. Don't forget to smile always. Never regret anything or anyone that makes you smile.Forgive quickly and love always.
God Bless

Don't worry,Be Happy.

Yet another beautiful sunset last night.

Don't worry be happy. A great song and a great way to live your life.It's natural to worry.It's human nature to have neagativity.But it doesn't have to control your life. Worry and negativity accomplishes nothing and is a waste of your energy.It can also lead to exhaustion.The situation you are in no matter how bad it seems could get or be alot worse. It also is just as likely to get alot better.None of us know what the future will bring so your better off using the present moment to your advantage.The way to do this is to let your positive expectations guide you to positive actions.This could be the day that you make real progress.This could be the day that you move closer to your goal. Don't worry be happy and move in a positive direction. Life is so very short and it's later than we all think.So why not start today.Staying positive will give you a solid foundation to start with.Don't worry and be happy. Don't sweat the small stuff and I have often said choose to make it all small. Don't dwell on the past or what happened yesterday.Live for now and today. Never regret anthing or anybody that makes you smile.Don't judge others only judge yourself. Give to a stranger today. Remind a loved one how happy you are that they are part of your life. To all a great Saturday.
God Bless

Make the best of it.

Sunset last night looking out our back door.Beautiful

You won't always have the best. But you can make the best of what you recieve.You won't always get your way but you can always choose to make your way forward.Even when the situation is not perfect you can choose to make the best of it. Even if the outcome is not ideal you can choose to make it ideal.Instead of wishing what it could of been or how it should be,choose to deal with the way it is. Instead of choosing to place blame choose to make it a path to move forward.Remember only you have the power to choose where your headed no matter of where you have come from or have been. Don't wast time worring about what has already happened. Spend that energy choosing where your headed.So no matter what comes your way. No matter what cards you are dealt make the best of them.Value is not created by avoiding the challenges. Its created by working through the challenges.Always taking the easy road is less satisfying than taking the correct road. Always live to take the correct road if at all possable.No person,possestion or circumstance will make you happy.Yet you can obtain happiness by the way you choose to live.Stop waiting for someone or something to make life easier for you.Choose to create your own happiness. As the anniversay of 9-11 nears watch out for one and other. Always remember we are one nation under God. Give to others and except what is given to you.Be safe and have a great Friday.Remember to Laugh uncontrolably,Never regret anything that makes you smile,and choose to take the correct path not always the easy path.
God Bless.

Keep On Moving On

One of our favorite fishing lakes. I took this picture about a year ago. You could not
tell it but it was minus 10 degress. Yep and we were fishing.

As the 10 year anniversary of 9-11 approaches we all need to step back and take a deep breath.
See where we are now and where we were then. I remember exactly what I was doing when this
disaster took place. I remember and will never forget. We all will never forget but we will continue to
move on. I have had many life changing experiences since then and I can say that though not perfect I have no regrets. I blame nobody other than my self for my mistakes and just keep moving forward. Every minute our lifes change. With every second we move forward if we choose to. Every second is a new oppertunity to live your dreams. I often read on facebook how my friends and family are dealing with lifes ups and downs. Often we get caught up in self pitty, Or emotions of others that slow us down from moving on. From making forward progress. This is all negativity and I can't stress enough about how this slows down our forward momentum. With negativity you can't help but to have a negative result. Learn from our mistakes,choose to wash away the negativity and turn it into a possitive situation. Only you can do this. The sooner this is accomplished the sooner you can continue to follow your dreams. The sooner you can keep moving on.Believe it or not the influence on what you do today will have an impact on what happens tomorrow. If your not happy today more than likely it has to do with what you did yesterday.As humans we are programmed to look at life with a perspective of what has been. Instead of what it could be. Focus your attention on the way your life should be or how it can be and you will be taking the first step in the right direction.With every moment that changes is a new oppertunity to reach your dreams. You just have to keep moving on in that forward direction. Don't forget to smile always, Never regret anything or anyone that makes you smile. Forgive quickly,Love always. To all a wonderful Wed. Miss You JoJo...Talk to you soon.

Only You Can Change It.

Another beautiful sunset last night on the lake. The colors are amazing.

Only you have the power to control your life. I get so tired of hearing people blame others for there mistakes.Now there are some things out of our control. Hurricanes,Tornados, Earthquakes, and sometimes health issues. But other than those and a few others we control how our life turns out. It's often easy to blame others. Start today. Stand up and take responsability for your actions. If you don't like whats going on then perhaps it's time for a change.If it takes time, Then spend the time. If it takes effort then make the effort. If you don't then you have nobody to blame but yourself.If you don't know how then learn how. If you need help then ask for it.When something changes your path or knocks you down. Get up and head in the right direction.Don't make excuses and don't except any from others.Take control of your life and deal with it as it comes.Spend less time complaining and more time living.Being positive is where you begin. If you think about it everytime we make an excuse its negative. I promise you with a negative excuse will come a negative result. It's just the way it is. Remember to live,love and laugh. Don't sweat the small stuff. Choose to point your life in the correct direction. And never,never,never give up.Don't take for granted one moment it's later than we all think. Forgive quickly,Laugh uncontrolably, and always smile.
Everyone have a safe and fun holiday weekend. Hang those American Flags high and proud. God Bless our troops in uniform. Miss you Jo Jo.... Call or mail soon.

Today is a great day.We have much to be thankful for.

This is one of my pride and joys. I took this picture last year over looking the Carson Valley in Nevada.
I have made a special frame from clear acrylic and im taking it to an art studio today to see if they will
put it on consignment.

Today is a great day. Today we have much to be thankful for. Choose to set your goals and expectations high. If you don't like the outcome set them higher and try again. Never give up.Perhaps try a different approach. With every failure is a new opertunity to grow even stronger. Eventhough it's unpleasant you can do it if you must. You just have to choose.So why not select a path not because it's easy but because it's right for you.Each challange is an opertunity to move forward.Its is your life and today is the day to just do it. Be possitive and claim the benifits.What ever the constraints,what ever the situation live like you love it. And you will.Spend your time to build value not just to waste the time. Take nothing for granted. Regret nothing and fill the day with meaning. Don't forget to live it your way. Never regret anything that makes you smile,Laugh uncontrollably and forgive quickly. Also remember to Smile. A smile goes along long ways. And by the way I have a dear friend Joanna Keener in the UK. She always brightens my day and inspires me to wright.She excepts me for who I am and believes in me. She also has one of the most beautiful smiles and no matter what roller coaster she is on she always seems to come out on top. Love You All...

Don't take anything for granted. Life is short as we know it.

Another beautiful sunset on our lake. I never get tired of taking these pictures.

I know I have talked about this so many times but I feel we often need be riminded. Im guilty to. Life as we know it here on earth is so very short. Never take for granted one moment. It's much later than we all think.Take the time today to step back. Take a breath and see where you are and where you want your life to go.In these challenging times we all seem to get caught up in our own little worlds. We end up forgetting about the most important things. Not money, Not our possesions but our Familys and Friends. Remember the saying here today gone tomorrow. Well tomorrow is just a few hours away. So take the time today to tell a friend or loved one how much you appreciate them.How happy you are that they are in your life. The day is filled with many minutes yet to achieve this it only takes a few seconds.Spend a few moments to forget about all the violence in the world.Forget about the negatives for just a few moments. Forget about the daily routine. Say a prayer. Say hi to a stranger. All these things will bring good fortune. Always remember that no matter what you are going through in life at this point in time it not nearly as important as the above. Also remember that there is someone probably a friend or family member that is much worse off than you. Try not to sweat the small stuff. Try not to pass judgement on others and wish good fortune to all. Live,Love and Laugh. Never regret anything or anyone that makes you smile, Laugh uncontrollably and forgive quickly. My prayers go out to the Cardis/Collins family as Mary Cardis has been missing for some days now and I pray for her safe return. Thanks once again Joanna for emailing me this morning. You always bring a smile to my face and inspire me to wright. Talk to you soon my dear.

Don't be lazy. You will regret it.

This is my dads dog being lazy.. Very Lazy

Don't be lazy.Timing is very important and our time even more so.It's the number one thing that we tend to waste. Often we put off doing things that we eventually have to do anyways.Acting early is much more effective than waiting until the last minute. And deffinatly more effective than waiting until it's to late.Its frustrating to get behind and always playing catch up. Besides it wears us out. Are you wore out from always working from behind. Well you can change that by working ahead. Get ahead and try to stay ahead. Procrastination is an exhausting way to live. It might seem at first that by prcrastinating that your saving energy but your accually not your going to have to do it anyways so just do. Take control of your life and get it done. Timing is accually more important than the effort put forth. Once done you can use that energy to move to the next task that needs doing.You will be thankful you did. Well were almost to hump day.I am pleased to say that I have my dates set and will be heading to California at the end of the month. Looking forward to seeing friends and family and going on a road trip.Have to get our hunting stuff ready as hunting season is moving upon us fast.Going to move my GTO into the barn before winter.So looks like I better stop procrastinating and get busy. Don't forget to forgive quickly,Laugh uncontrollably, Smile always. To all a blessed Tuesday
I miss you Joanna, Hope all is ok in the UK. Call me soon and get your butt back to CO.

Dealing with pain and misfortune.

Clouds last night before the Monsoon hit. What a storm

Well we all have our share of pain and misfortune. Last week I was dealing with the pain of a wisdom tooth and infection. Over the past year I have had my share of heart ache, Confusion and so on. Pain comes in many different forms and just like everythimg else in life it's how you choose to deal with the pain that makes you the person that you are. It's like all the other road blocks in the road of life. Some choose to make it worse and or wallow in the pain making it last longer. Some choose to make the best of it and don't waste it.
I know sounds kind of crazy but it's true. Don't be so quick to throw out the pain and just rid of it.
Listen to the pain and find out what the root of it's source is. Trust me there is always a source.Often the root of the problem warrants a change in your life.For instance lets say your having money problems. Well perhaps a budget. Learning to not over spend might be a root of this pain and by choosing a few smart options you can stop the pain quickly.Next learn from your pain.Listen to it make the necesary adjustments to minimize it or aliminate it. If you don't choose this step then you have no one to blame but yourself.Last reference the pain.I don’t know about you, but I hate pain so much that I’m willing to do whatever I need to so that I avoid experiencing it unnecessarily. Therefore, in my mind, I file away every painful experience. I pull out painful memories when I need motivation or inspiration to perform a task or chore that I don’t necessarily want to do, but have to. There are benifits to the pain believe it or not its all how you choose to deal with it. I love the following pain quote: “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” ~ Unknown. Im sorry I don't know the author of that quote but its a good one. So to all a great Tuesday. Rememer don't sweat the small stuff and choose to turn the big problems in to small ones. Don't forget to forgive quickly,Laugh uncontrollaby and never regret one moment even if your in pain. There is value to be found in every moment.
and most of all remember to smile. Even if not happy it will keep others wondering.Thanks for calling me last night Joanna.You brightened my day and night as always dear.
God Bless

Choose to step forward and not backwards.

Our camp this weekend on the Gunnison River in the Black Canyon. This old tree was amazing.

Ok I want to clear something up for my friends and family that read my blog. I have been told by one that these are not my words. At first I was told that I am cutting and pasting other peoples thoughts. Then I was told that its 65% my own word. Then I was told that it's 99%. my words. So I thought if one person is thinking this perhaps others too are wondering. So here it is. I am working on publishing my blogs. I have been doing design work and building websites for almost 10 years. I would never try to publish someone elses work. You will do nothing but cause yourself problems. However I do not claim to be a famed wrighter or anything like that. In fact you probably noticed I am not that great in spelling and I just let my fingers type and don't get to worried with the spelling. Thats another thing that makes it mine. I can tell you that it will be spell checked before publishing. LOL... When I wake up in the morning I have many thoughts going through my mind. I often read a religious quote page that is 1 sentence longI read a prayer book too.I also read other religions to see how they comnpare. It inspires me to wright and gets me going. There are many famous actors,wrighters,directors etc that are inspired and motivated by others words. Once my mind starts moving I type away. I would like to know if anybody sees anything wrong with this? I also will make it very clear that when I do cut and paste a thought I will be sure to credit the author for there quote. As well as use the "" signs. Often it's a famous person that has passed away. These blogs are my thoughts and the way I percieve life. My true friends that no me no that I have many words. Not always right but have many. I often never open up to most of my friends the way I seem to be able to open up on this blog. I find it refreshing. So please feel free to comment below on your thoughts. For now I will move on...

Choose to step forward and not backwards. Every step forward is leading your life in the right direction. Every step backwards is a stall of foward momentum.However don't be discouraged with the stall. We will all have these times and what makes us drive forward is how we handle the stall. If you choose to let it be just a stall your are accually working on moving foward. If you dwell on the stall you will accually be moving in the wrong direction. This is non productive and creates more problems for you and others around you. Don't let a negative person slow you down. Often there is some negative person always there waiting to assist in your backwards steps.But when your moving forward in the right direction often you will not hear from this negative person. It's real easy for a negative person to assist in moving you back. It's not as easy for a negative person to change there thoughts and be happy for your forward progress. So if you can distance yourself from this type of person. Or perhaps you can use your positive energy to move this person in the right direction. Remember to stay positive and choose to move forward. (I don't know who said this but I got in in an email and I use it daily) " Remember to don't sweat the small stuff, Laugh uncontrollably,Forgive quickly and never regret one moment or anything that makes you smile"  I also read a prayer book daily and will start including it in the blog. Of course will reference that it's not my words.
(from book) Do not focus on your problems.It's not your war to fight. "Do not be affaid,Do not be discouaged by this mighty army for the battle is not yours but Gods. Chronicles 20.15  .   To all a great Tuesday have a safe and fun one. My dear Joanna thanks for the emails and encouragement to contine to do what I love. See you soon hun..
God Bless
