New Garden Rocks
Loving these new Garden Rocks I did! These are actual landscape rocks, @ 6-8 inches and @ 3-5lbs each. My hubby painted primer on them and then I painted a base color coat with outdoor paints .I used construction pencils to draw lightly the design and then I used again outdoor/patio paints and paint pens to color in the design and words.
My 9 yr old grandson Josh actually penciled the base cardinal and branch design on and then I fine tuned and added color, the word and added additional designs of flowers and leaves.
The Diva Power rock was with my 3 yr old granddaughter, Isabell in mind, she loves all things pink and she IS a DIVA!
These will be placed out in the yard along the river rock stream and by the pond. And since they are primered and done in outdoor paints they should withstand the seasons.
How to have a Blessed to be You day!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today make the decision that just for this day, this 24 hours, that you are too blessed to be stressed, too happy to be sad, too hopeful to be depressed, too calm to be rattled, too cheerful to be aggravated by people, places or things, too successful to consider failure, too open to all possibilities to be stuck in a rut. Then when you experience what 24 hours of that feels like - you will decide to do it every day.
Affirm:
Today, it's good to be Me because my day is filled with blessings of happiness, hope, cheerfulness, success and serenity!
Have a Blessed to be You Thursday!

Are you a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... person?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Do you think you are a Yes I Can! or a "Yeah But..." person? Challenge yourself to find out. Take an empty jar, box or gift bag and on one side put "Yes I Can! and on the other side put "Yeah But...." Keep a small notepad next to it. Whenever you make an excuse or say Yeah but.... jot it on a note and place it in the container. Do the same for every Yes I Can! At the end of the day take a look and see. You could even throw a little twist into this by seeing if you hang around or interact with more Yes I Can! or Yeah But... people. Simply put the letter Y (for YES I can) on a slip and the letters YB (for Yeah But..), putting the initials of the people next to the letters is optional.
The main goal here is to bring into your awareness the difference between a Yes I Can! or Yeah But...energy and attitude.
Truth is whether you are, or hang around, a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... person defines your belief in the Succees or Failure of You!
Affirm:
I pay attention to whether today is a Yes I Can! or a Yeah But... day.
Have a Yes I Can change Monday!

What's your Story line today?
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
What kind of day did you decide you were going to have today? If you woke up and thought "I'm tired, grumpy and I just want today to hurry up and get done," you might notice that the rest of your day follows suit. You might perceive that there are all kinds of things that just seem to annoy you. It may appear as though some people got up this morning and plotted and planned on how to get in Your way today. Drivers on the road, the teller at the bank, the cashier at the store, fellow co-workers and even complete strangers might seem to be actually oblivious to you and your needs, your mood and your comfort level! How is this possible!?
But wait a minute. What if it's not them? What if the reason they seem to be unaware of you is because they are too busy with themselves and what is going on in their life today? What if they are thinking some of the same things AND because of how you are reacting to them, they think that you plotted and planned to disturb their day!?
STOP! the story line and make your day easier for you and everyone in your sphere of influence. Simply make NEW decisions that will trigger a new story.
Perhaps other people are having a bad day because they are tired, grumpy and they just want today to be over with. Perhaps You could decide to smile and say "Have a great day today!" (yes even if you're not sure it will be) Perhaps you could laugh to yourself when that driver swerves around you in a big hurry to get ahead so he could be the first to slam on his brakes at the next light, thinking "Wow that could have been me today"
Perhaps you could stop and ask yourself as you go through your day today, "What else might be going on with this person or with this situation? And is it possible it may have nothing to do with me personally?"
Then perhaps you could show some compassion, patience and humor to those around you and DECIDE that You are going to turn this day into something great and invite others to join you and those that still want to be tired and grumpy - well- let them. They are entitled to their decisions too.
Now that you have decided to make the best of the rest of your day today watch how it unfolds dramatically different.
And tomorrow you may decide from the very start that it is indeed going to be a great day!
Affirm:
I have decided to enjoy the rest of my day and I will have compassion and patience for those who have decided differently.
Have a Great Thursday ending!

Choose where your focus goes
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today your challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to practice redirecting your focus. As you go about your day today and interact with your fellow citizens shift your focus from the negative to the positive, from fear to courage, from inertia to action, to strengths not weaknesses, to accomplishments not mistakes and appreciations not criticisms.
Every time you are about to speak, act or interact you are choosing between one or the other focus. And as you choose you set yourself up for either a positively, fun and productive day or a negative, gloomy and wasted energy day.
Affirm:
Today I redirect my focus to see only the positive in myself and everyone else.
Have a Positively Enjoyable Wednesday!
