Painting a Picture of the Body!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

Please let us get something to snack on, and a beverage of your choice to sip on!!!
I have been asking as I will do right now, How are you? Happy, Happy Birthday!!!
Did you awake this morning and say to yourself?, "I will have a great day today. It
is wonderful and I am wonderfully made. Why would I not enjoy all the LOVE that
surrounds me and emanates from me? Happy Re-Birth today to you/me!!! I am
where you are in believing that LOVE will hide a multitude of faults, for those that
we see in others which is really what we are seeing in ourselves.
My Meditation has brought me to a state of consciousness that I want to share with
you this morning. I do this daily but today I want to let you IN on my ritual. It is a daily
routine and has been for many a year with me. I REJECT, REJECT AND REFUSE all
thoughts that causes me to have Negatives connotations and most times I am successful
in sending all Negatives back to their dust heaps of nothingness from which they cometh.
I usually start this way:
Good Morning Body::
I breathe in LOVE, Joy, Peace and Tranquility, through all of my Five Senses.
Thank you first of all for continuing to allow SPIRIT to work through you for my Benefit
today. To my Mind thank you for being in your right state of consciousness without the 
intent to hurt or harm anything or any one else mentally or physically.
To my Beautiful Brown eyes, thank you for opening up to see the world around me with
my 20/20 vision.
Thank you my ears for hearing the sound of Mother Nature, as the birds chirp their melodies,
and the crickets spew out their continuous chatter.
Thank you my Nostrils for smelling the fragrances of the Cedar, Pine and Oak trees, and 
for the scents of all the unique flowers that are arising among the weeds and the aroma
of fresh brewed coffee.
Thank you my Palate and Tongue for tasting the effects of the coffee and water after I use my
my hands to bathe and brush.
Thank you Hands and Fingers for assisting each other in allowing me to lift my arms, to 
dress myself and to feel the freedom of movements.
Thank you Body that each part of you is Functioning in its proper Prospective. My Back
support me, my Legs carry my feet for me from one place to another and my Toes gives me 
balance.My Internal Organs that attunes my Anatomy to performs all the duties of my;
Circulatory, Digestive, Muscular, Nervous, Respiratory and Skeletal Systems. I am so
Grateful that you LOVE me so much and I LOVE you for it. THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT!!
For I am the Perfect, Face, Figure, Form  and Beauty perfection of my Christ Self, Physically Manifested,
Expressed and Sustained, And I Regret Nothing about me that you have MADE:
Because I am given Free Will, I Choose not to use it to the will of others. Be it in Thought,
Word or Deed,  I know it is certainly not to try to Monopolize or Selfishly Apply or to abhor 
others to my will.
BE BLESSED<BE A BLESSING to others. Don't forget to LAUGH with the LITTLE ones/
SENIORs/PARENTs/SOLDIERs/VETERANs equally. I Appreciate the time you take to
read with me!!!. Think of your own Body and when anything seems to go wrong try talking to 
it just before you take your Medicine. Scripture states "PHYSICIAN HEAL THYSELF". If you try this it will make it easier for your Doctor to diagnose your real Problems. If you 
Meditate you may not have too Medicate as often!!!
With Much LOVE(TYG)

(PS) I also Affirm before I go to Sleep, Only I then say, THANK YOU FOR MY THICK 
HEAD OF HAIR. (GO< FIGURE)!!! (smile) Until Next Time. "BE HAPPY"

A Continuation of Friends/Family!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

How are you? Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Did you send yourself a birthday card?

Did you get one from the person you most admire? or did you get one from the 

person who admire you the most?(smile)

Happy Re-Birth to us as well!! Are you noticing your daily Re-Births? Are you 

feeling/seeing things any different today than yesterday? (Positive difference) Do 

you know that I am feeling so rejuvenated that I am more than ever looking forward

to each day?. I asked myself what will my Re-Birth be about today?,Will I be a 

little more kinder today than yesterday? Will I answer a question with a yes instead 

of the no that I answered with yesterday? Will I answer with a Smile instead of the 

Frown I used yesterday? There are so many ways we are having Re-Births each day

but we must recognize it and call it out to ourselves.Other than that it will not matter.

You may want to get a snack or a beverage to sip on. We won't take up to much time of

your time ,But, when I Meditate I feel that SPIRIT want you and I to think for a moment

about what I am Guided too write. I Have been thinking so very hard about I Believe.

I will write that as soon as I write what my Nephew-in-law told me many years ago. I

say many because I am a SENIOR but all of my Family members/God-family members

are basically youngsters.Since I believe that A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM:

I usually retain what they say to  me in my memory bank, I had no idea that I would say

them is a BLOG but (GO,FIGURE), WOW, what an Opportunity I have?

My Nephew-in-law told me of a joke that had been shared with him on his job. It goes

like this. There was a young guy who was an Achiever and he worked he felt hard to

accomplish the Material things that he wanted in his life. A beautiful home, a Luxury

car, Beautiful clothes and Beautiful jewerly Now, each time he achieved something new

 his co-workers would compliment him,and tell how that he was so "Blessed by God in 

his achievements". He would readily exclaim "That it wasn't God that had given him these

things. he had worked hard and achieved them himself. Well, needless to say he wanted

and finally brought a motorcycle.On his way home from one of his Joy-rides, he had an

accident on his motorcycle and was badly injured. he said to God,"Help me, I am in

need of help here" and GOD answered with an inaudible voice. "I am here where I have

always been my son, while you took credit for doing everything for yourself." I sat there

somewhat perplexed and suddenly I got it. If the young guy had taken credit for everything

else himself then surely he was going to be able to save himself. (WOW). I don't remember that 

my nephew-in-law ever admitted or contradicted my observation. What would yours be?

                                                               I BELIEVE; 

  I Believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. I Believe that somewhere

in the darkest night a Candle glows: 

I Believe for everyone who goes astray, Someone will come and show the way:

I believe above the storm:The smallest prayer will be still be heard:

I Believe that someone in the great somewhere, hears every WORD,...........

                                                          By Dolly Parton and Others

I am sure that you have heard it if not just Google it and see all the words for yourself:

AND:

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE? 

BE BLESSED<BE A BLESSING to others. Don't forget to LAUGH with the LITTLE ones

/SENIORs/PARENTs/SOLDIERs/VETERANs equally. I Appreciate each of you!!!. I guess I will 

have to share GUESS WHAT/WHO tomorrow. Please join with me. What has made you the 

Happiest today? 

With Much LOVE(TYG)

Painting A Picture of Family & Friends!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

How are you? Thanks for joining with me.
Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Happy Re-Birth today as well.!!! I have taken a little haitus 
and now I am back and ready to start anew. I missed writing and hope you missed reading
an up to date BLOG with me.  I have a little surprise for you, See below:

Gosh this picture was finally secured. It took some time but through the efforts of my
daughter and grand-son I can at least show you the members of the Board of (LSN). 
Los Ninos de Spring N2 Salsa. This is the youth organization that I have spoken about
in Previous BLOGS. This year our Annual Meeting was held in Washington DC, at the
Mariner> It was wonderful and to have been able to make the trip was a real treat and 
a Blessing. My daughter felt as all other Washingtonians feel she was just glad to have
been back home. Due to our challenges she/ we have not been able to make the trip as
often as we once did. However, so much for that. Of Course, my grand-son is not a 
Board Member, but you know, we just could not leave home WITHOUT HIM.:))))

I had the Joy of talking to my Nephew-in-law, this week end, and would you believe that when

 I first went into their home he was sitting at his computer.

I thought that was a great place for him for to be and I proceeded to tell him about my BLOGs. Now you may be wondering, Well, doesn't she tell everyone? The answer if No, I do not. I shared with my daughter.god-daughters, a few friends and family that is all . I was so happy when other people began to read with me that I guess I wanted to share with all others that I cannot/do not see face to face. I always share with everyone else I know when I see them that is if SPIRIT gives me the feeling that I supposed too. Anyway, after my Nephew-in-law read a couple of them he said this is whom he has always known me to be, and he discussed ways that I could share with more people if I wanted too. I told him that now I wanted to share with as many people as I can . I truly believe that SPIRIT, lead and Guide my thinking as well as my writing. He agreed  that maybe someone will read my BLOGs that may need a word from someone like themselves. He also made my Little Heart over flow into a Big Heart when he said that it reminded him of Maya Angelo. Tears began to cry from my eyes and I felt so honored  I wanted to jump-up and embrace him.  He is just like my brother-in-law I spoke about him already in the BLOG I wrote on Painting A Picture of A SENIOR/Junior. He too I have always been able to talk with about many subjects. I will not call his name because I did get his permission to do so.  He suggested ways that I had not even begun to think about that will include all persons, from Children, Adults, Seniors, as well as Veterans, I have begun to make preparations this week to implement some to the suggestions that he made to me. I will take the time now to say with a very Happy Heart to him THANK YOU!!!!!  

Tomorrow I will share a joke with you that he told me many years ago about having Faith and Belief in God.

Please join me, and I did not ask you did you want to get something to snack on or a beverage to sip on? That is why I am closing for this morning. What is the Happiest thing that has happened to you today?   Was reading my BLOG one of those things? (GO,FIGURE) but SMILE.:)))

BE BLESSED< BE A BLESSINGS to others, and Don't forget to LAUGH with the SENIORs/PARENTs/VETERANs/SOLDIERs equally, I Appreciate You:!!!

With Much LOVE(TYG)

(PS) Tomorrow I will also write about some GUESS WHATS!!

BLOG (4) CPL. FREDDIE STOWERS!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Happy Re-Birth today!!! Let us get on the same page as we usually do,
even if I discover it at a later time, By that I mean I do not know who is reading with me, But,
Again I thank you for joining with me.
I am going to write the last part of the program as it is already written. The Celebration was held
in Columbia SC as well as the one in Sandy Springs SC for my Great Uncle Freddie and then  I
want to share my wonderful week-end with you. I hope you will think so too. DO YOU KNOW
THAT THESE GUIDELINES EXIST? I Didn't know, that is why I am sharing them, just in case that I'm not the only person that don't know them.



MEDAL OF HONOR GUIDELINES

On July25, 1863 Congress established a set of guidelines under which the

Medal of Honor could be awarded.

a.) while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States.

b.)while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force, or,

c.) while serving with friendly forces engaged in armed conflict against an

opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.

MEDAL OF HONOR STATISTICS

The first award of the Medal of Honor was made March 25,1863 to Private Jacob Parrot,

and five others. Since then there have been:

. 3,459 Medal of Honor Awarded

. For 3,421 separate acts of Heroism

. Performed by 3,440 Individuals (including 9"Unknowns"

. Today there are 130 living Recipients of the Medal of Honor    

 . 52% of the living Recipients earned their Medal more than 50 years

ago while serving in WWII (49) or Korea(18).

. Of the 49 Recipients from WWII, more that 33 are over the age of 80.

. The oldest Recipient is John W. Finn, age 94.

. Of the 63 Recipients from Vietnam, less than 40 are under the age of 60.

The youngest Recipient is Gordon R. Roberts, age 53.

The last awards of the Medal of Honor, in a conflict following Vietnam, were

award posthumously(occurring or continuing after one's death) to Army

Sergeants Gordon and Shughart for action in Somalia in 1993.

There were no awards of the Medal of Honor during Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, or Desert Storm. 

. Since 1993, 41 other Medals of Honor have been awarded to correct past errors, follow up

on lost recommendations or were the result of new evidence . Of those Recipients, 13

were living at the time the Medal of Honor was presented.

Anderson County Administrator(then) Joey R Preston gave the Welcome Address;

and recognition of special guests who were.....

Major General Stanhope Spears, Adjutant General of South Carolina

General Abraham Turner, United States Army

Wilson Eagleson, Tuskegee Airman

and others person who took a very active part in the Recognition Ceremony.

It would be remiss of me if I do not tell you that I did check some of the information out that

was accurate at the time this Ceremony was held. If you know of something different please don't hold it against me. Some still remain true as of today.
I also learned that a Medal Of Honor had been given to a Dr. Mary Walker the one a only female Recipient . It was rescinded and restored for the sake of her Recognition, I am sharing this information.
ALSO, ON June 19, 2014, PRESIDENT OBAMA AWARDED CPL. WILLIAM KYLE CARPENTER A MEDAL OF HONOR for his Heroic actions which makes him the now youngest
Recipient of this Honor.
As I continue to write my BLOGS I think I will try to avail myself to more information to share about our Soldiers/Veterans .They are a great part( (a value part of our Society not
just the one who are Homeless also Jobless and very often in need of clothing and many other things that have been shared with us as we have been riding the bus .Oh Spirit, Thank you for helping me to take ONE DAY AT A Time. I now am believing that this is where I am being Guided to make a difference. Will you help with me???. I give to the VETERANS BUT WHAT HAVE I NOT GIVEN? That I Can Give? Maybe we all can ask that Question of ourselves.
BE BLESSED<BE A BLESSINGS to others. Don't forget to LAUGH with the LITTLE ones/SENIORs/PARENTs/SOLDIERs/VETERANS equally. What has made you the most Happy
today? Did you find anything to Smile about?. Aaaaaw come on and Laugh. If you could see what
I am going through jut to get this done .you would really have something to Laugh about, well
maybe not, you may want to CRY instead. (GO, FIGURE)
With Much LOVE(TYG)

Painting a Picture of THANKS!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

Happy Birthday!!! Happy Re-Birth today!!! How are you enjoying this another day?
Thank you for joining with me. I think I am going to ask you, Did you get something
to snack on and maybe a little something to sip on, but for this one I guess you must
make the choice as to what you will do.

I am going to write and as you read with me, you may want to include for you all the

things I will not be led to write about:

 

Father, Mother, God:

Today I am Thanking you for Clarity: I thank you for all my Yesterdays', Todays' and

Tomorrows'. I thank you for your Continued Guidance, Protection, Life, Health and

Strength. I thank you for not giving up on me, although I have so many times given up

on myself.  I thank you because since you are not a Respector of person, that all the

Little Ones, Seniors, Parents, and Veterans/Soldiers can be reached by this Prayer. It

doesn't matter who we are, regardless to our statues, culture or professions.

I thank you for forgiving me of all Negation, that I have allowed to fill your place in my

heart instead of just knowing that you are God and beside thee there is none other.

I thank you for letting me/us  learn how to SPREAD LOVE to those who truly do not 

know any better than to try and make other feel their Misery. I ask for your forgiveness
for them/us as well. I thank you for all the times you have directed my/our paths, that while
I/we are protesting your presence, you led us in a perfect direction for my/our lives anyway!!
I thank you for not allowing my/our perception to not label anyone/anything because of
their environment or the color of their skin. I thank you for not letting me/us Judge/Misjudge/
Prejudge others. I thank you for your word which states" KEEP STILL" and know that I am 
GOD, and I thank you for giving me/us your word that VENGEANCE IS YOURS, and that
you will fight all of our Battles whether it be Mental, Physical or Emotional. I thank you
for removing all fear. I thank you for giving me the breath to thank you and the dexterity in
my fingers to write it. I say thank you by words for all  who would say it if they could. I thank
you for all those that could if they would. Those on the playground, in the jailhouses, in the
board rooms, on the jobs, in the court rooms or the hospital rooms etc.
Today HOLY SPIRIT I am so will pleased to recognize your ever Present Presence. Oh SPIRIT,
I thank you that this day.  I/We feel Divinely  protected by your Grace and Mercy, from the Least
to the Greatest, from the Youngest to the Oldest. We are a people everywhere that are being
Guided continuously by you. Through our Conscious, Subconscious and Superconscious minds.
We thank you for giving us another chance to be engulfed in your LOVE, and we thank you
for giving us the Ability to Disperse that LOVE to each Man, Woman, or Child. Seen or Unseen,
Known or Unknown by us. We are Eternally Grateful.
If this is the Last Prayer that I will Pray, At least I will have Finally Prayed. THANK YOU
ALMIGHTY I AM PRESENCE!!!
BE BLESSED<BE A BLESSING  to others. Don't forget to Laugh, and with the LITTLE ones
SENIORs/PARENTs/VETERANs/SOLDIERS equally. I Appreciate you!!! Please join with
me again. Have you been? Are you HAPPY NOW? (smile)
With Much LOVE(TYG)

Painting a Picture of Completeness!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Happy Re-Birth as well!!! Please have a Greaaat One. (Smile)
That was not done in error, "Have a GREaaaT One".....OKAY!!!

Today, I am so glad to know that you are still reading with me. I reviewed my article from
yesterday and I see some errors that I did not see the last time I wrote my Post. I did not go
back to correct them because I needed to see that I too, can be affected by my own behavior,
as much as I want to think that I don't allow things to affect me. I still have to Pray and say
give me this day MY daily Bread. (GO,FIGURE). I have already admitted that I did not take
the Usual stance of Meditating and how Dare I? I was so upset because I had deleted Posts
(78 &79) that I did not really concentrate on what else I was doing. If you take the time to
read with you I should always take the necessary precaution to write as best as I can.
I Apologize: I was Frantic when one of the Post I had written was deleted by some method
other than by my hand in the past, that was one the reason that I had said I would stop writing,
among other things that was happening. I know this is a great opportunity for me and I don't
want to abuse the kindness that has been provided to me, and I don 't want to disappoint you
who take the time to read with me. ( I love it when I see some of my words that I misspell
automatically correct themselves. Is This Just A lack of understanding on this SENIORs

Part?)In this way I feel we are working together to bring to you the Best of the Best. 

I now know that I do not have to say on this site when I do not know what is going on. I do

not have all the meanings down pat yet but my daughter has explained enough to me to try several

avenues without giving up.  

Here is a little something for you to think about:-------DIRECTIONS-------If we are going in

Search for something, you don 't know where you are going, I am going, but I don't know where

I am going, BUT, where you are going is where I have already been, and where I am going is

where you have already been? Would you ask me how to get where you are going? Would I ask

you how to get where I am going? or would we continue to Search? (by SPIRIT) Thru me.

Our Answer is If we have asked for Guidance, Then you /I would know that our Prayers have

been Answered, that is if we have asked for Direction (SMILE) 

BE BLESSED<BE A BLESSING to others. Don't forget to LAUGH with LITTLE ONES
the /SENIORs/PARENTs/VETERANS equally. I appreciate you!!! Be very Happy with
 your Happiness Today!!! 

With Much LOVE(TYG)

Painting A Picture of LEARNING!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday !!! Happy Re-Birth today as well!!! I am SITTING here in total 
Amazement. I want to not allow myself to be affected because of the state of consciousness
that a few people in the world still possess if so then where would I be? What would I have
 learned?.
Would I be able to say to you DO NOT become THWARTED BY THE ACTIONS OF THE 
UNLEARNED. If at this age/ I have not learned, then when will I? If I can only share with 
you endless/idle words that are meaningless why would I?
Tonight, I have a confession to make to all of you who take the time to read with me,. I had 
decided to make a Summation for my Great Uncle Freddie Stowers in today's BLOG and I
did not ask SPIRIT to Guide my thinking. I take no credit for being able to breathe on my own,
but I kept feeling that I would stop writing my BLOGS when I had reached the number (80).
Needless to say, I had reached number (79) and today would have been the end of my writings.
Guess What happened? I wrote BLOG (4) Summation, and I was going to change the title,
in my efforts to do so, I went to the Post Page, and I tried to delete My Title, instead I saw a
message that asked did I want to delete this post, it showed twice, I entered yes twice and you guessed it I had deleted the Posts (78 & 79). When I saw this I did not cry but instead I yelled
to my daughter" Come and see what I have done". When my daughter and grand-son came to see
about me, I showed them what I done, my daughter explained "That even she could not tell me 
how to retrieve them". My grand-son said," Well Mom, you said you were going to  stop 
writing and was going to delete them didn't you?" I answered,"Yes but I did not intend to stop 
writing or delete them until I had reached the number (80). (GO,FIGURE) IS THIS A CASE
WHERE A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM? (I said Whaaaaat) What could I say/
 I often say, be careful, as to what you say, because my/our words will not return to us VOID 
either.This was clearly a case of (Not My Your Will but My Will Be Done) :))).

At first I told you I only wrote to get out of their hair(so to speak) then I realized, that I was 
feeling a great Energy Field opening up to me, and I then began to Meditate on what to write.
I also being to think that someone was reading with this SENIOR and maybe, just maybe I 
was writing something SPIRIT wanted me to share. I began to earnestly seek Guidance in what
I would write.
At first I could not conceive that this opportunity was available to an average person , and 
I thought that there was a time frame on the BLOGS I could write,then My daughter taught me
to distinguish between the Browsers, also I learned more about the fundamentals of the computers.
No, by no means do I know everything,but, I will learn, but tonight I have learned not to delete
anything else unless I intend too., and I regret that I cannot rewrite the last two Articles, But 
Maybe I wasn't exactly SPREADING LOVE because that it the post SPIRIT carried me back too.
I had allowed myself to read some of the Comments, and I did not Exactly SPREAD LOVE in 
my thoughts. However, at least a child wasn't affected or was it?

DON'T LET YOUR GIFT BEAT UP ON MY GIFT;

DON'T LET YOU GIFT BECOME ENVIOUS OF MY GIFT;

LET US let OUR GIFTS REMAIN FRIENDS.
