The Pride of Our Country

Today as before, our brave do fight
For a land they love, a flag so right

The pride of our country, yes they are
The strength of our nation, best by far

Just as our brave from each war gone by
They march for us proudly, flag held high

From all over this land they come to serve
They’re taught by the best, this they deserve

When troops give their all, the world does see
Whether serving on land, in the air, or at sea

The pride from this country, march through war
With home drawn strength, held deep in their core

Our best are so awesome, their loved ones well know
May God guide their journey where they – for us – go

What these brave must have is support from their own
The love from their people, firm thankfulness shown

Our greatest achievement is that we’re still free
Please take time and ponder who caused this to be

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2011

Saint Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday celebrated internationally on the 17th of March. It is named after Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland. It originated as a Catholic holiday and became an official feast day in the early 17th century. It has gradually become more of a secular celebration of Irish culture. (via Wikipedia.org

Here is a fun poem for St. Patrick’s Day…. ENJOY

I’ll Wear a Shamrock

St. Patrick’s Day is with us,
The day when all that’s seen
To right and left and everywhere
Is green, green, green!

And Irish tunes they whistle
And Irish songs they sing,
To-day each Irish lad walks out
As proud as any king.

I’ll wear a four-leaf shamrock
In my coat, the glad day through,
For my father and mother are Irish
And I am Irish too!

~ The Holiday Spot

Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day – Drink lots of Green Beer, but don’t drive home drunk, make sure to get a taxi or your luck will be lost….

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!

Another year gone by, and another Valentine’s is here. Not everyone is blessed to be in a relationship. Valentine’s day is said to bring a lot of depression and suicide rates up. People need to realize that Valentine’s day is just a holiday invented by people to celebrate your love, but you shouldn’t just celebrate it one day out of the year, you should celebrate your love 365 days out of the year. Okay well not exactly celebrate since you can’t buy gifts and go out to dinner every single day of the year, but you can celebrate it by loving each other, respecting each other, making memories that will last a life time.

If you are couple go out, be romantic but don’t just do this special thing on Valentine’s day, go all out on a regular day, I think it would mean so much more than just because it’s Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong, flowers and a gift is nice on Valentine’s day too…

For those who don’t have someone to celebrate Valentine’s day with, why not go out with a friend, have some drinks, watch a movie. If you feel sad don’t fret, there is always next year.

Happy Valentine’s All – hope you have a wonderful day!

Here’s a poem I found:

It’s More Than Saying I Love You

We give on this day candy and flowers,
But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.
You have stood by my side and gave a smile,
As if to tell our hearts it’s been worth every mile.
No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,
It’s pretty simple and not at all hard.
Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,
And say without words that in your heart all is right.
You may say I Love You throughout the year,
But on this day you need to make sure.
The words so sweet and straight from your heart,
That your life would be lonely without my part.
So put forth the effort and take the time,
Look me in the eye and say I’m glad you’re mine.

~Happy Valentine’s Day~

Another year flown by, another year older, another year to set goals and another year where dreams can come true…

Each year we get older we realize the change, we see life pass us by, and we make goals some achieved some left written on the paper you started to write about your dreams, and sometimes we just forget and we loose track on what is really important to us. In life I have learned that life is way to short, we don’t always get what we want, we sometimes think we are going to live our lives a certain way, or with a certain someone, and that isn’t what was meant to be. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow, and tomorrow may never come, so I’ve learned the hard way a few times that when you want something, when you really love someone, when you really know what you want, GO FOR IT! Life is too short for the what if’s, or maybe’s in life, or even the I can always do it later… What holds us back from the possibilities; from the things in life we really want? As humans we have too many doubts we hold ourselves back, we make excuses because of family and friends but at the end of the day we are the ones who control our own fate, we are the ones who control what to do with our lives, and if we keep holding back, you will life always wondering about the “what if’s, maybes in life and I can always do it later”.

This year, I move forward, I hope that with fate and love from God that I am strong enough to surpass the goals I have in life, to live life to the fullest and do all the things I have been dreaming and thinking about lately. A new beginning, a new start into a new life.

Live. Love. Laugh

Dear Santa

Dear Santa, I’m older
But, still believe in you
(At least, I believe in
The things you try, to do).

Maybe, I can’t ask for
A Tonka, or, a train.
(But, if you’d bring one of them
You know, I won’t complain).

But, what I really wish for
Is a special present
Love that can’t be “returned”
Once it has been sent.

Everybody needs a little
And some, need a lot
But, if you get a tiny bit
You still know what you got.

So Santa, drop a little
Under each Christmas tree
Then, all will get a present
From what it’s ‘posed to be.

And if there is no tree
For the alone, and poor
When you get, to their place
Just, drop, a little more.

What do you want for Christmas this year?
I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year

Happy Turkey Day…

Today not only do I celebrate Thanksgiving but it is also my anniversary. Today is a day to give thanks to many things, what do you give thanks for?

I give thanks for:

My family
My boyfriend (who I love)
My friends
My job
The roof over my head
The food we eat
I give thanks to god for keeping me strong and keeping me sane when we think things are at our worst.

Remember life isn’t easy for anyone, even those who look like they have everything they don’t. Look at the famous people who look like they have it all but can’t keep a marriage, look at some people who might have it all but loose it to the addiction of drugs, or the people who are strong but have lost love ones. Everyone goes through hard times, and no one person is perfect. Today I give thanks for the many blessings we do have in our lives. Today I give thanks to you (for supporting soapnights & keeping it going). Today I give thanks…

ps Happy Anniversary baby, may more years follow the happiness and the journey we have together. i love you.
