Secrets of My Success

This week's host of the Writer's Post Blog Hop is Angela Tjong of "Journey of Life". 

   I am very blessed to have several people behind my success.  While my husband has been a constant source of support in all the years I have known him, it has always been my daughter who has been a constant source of encouragement and joy in my life.  I can always count on her to take care of me when I am sick and be my cheerleader when I need an extra push.

     My son, with his radiant smile, brilliant blue eyes, and snuggly hugs, reminds me each day that he thinks I hung the moon.  His love makes all the difference in the world.  He believes I can do anything and do it well.  

     Last but not least is the man who is the love of my life and has become my rock over the years I have known him.  He has faith in me to succeed and the ability to do things I would never even imagine.   From surviving a rollercoaster to handling a catastrophe at the house without him, he has an underlying faith in me to succeed that insures the fact not only that I can but that I will. 

      With these three people’s unconditional love, unswerving confidence in my abilities, and their undying support, how could I possibly go wrong?   Even when I doubt myself, they are there to push me forward and reach for success with both hands.  I believe being successful in life is being happy in all aspects and enjoying life to the fullest.  Without these vital people, I would be lost.  They give me strength.  They give me the confidence to persevere.   They make my life worth living.  Everyone needs people like that in their lives.  Not only that, everyone needs to appreciate who makes their lives worth living.  I thank G0d everyday of my life for them and count them as the richest blessings I possess.

Tuesday Tunes: A Prelude of Sleep

It is time for Tuesday Tunes hosted by Holli of "Holli's Hoots and Hollers" and Lauren of "Outside the Frame"!

      Time flies when you are having fun and it is hard for me to believe it is Tuesday night already.  My husband came home for a long weekend, and it is as if we all need to recover.  Not even 8:00 at night and both of my kids are sound asleep on the floor with blankets and pillows.
   

       I have to admit, I am tired too and it would be so easy to grab a blanket and pillow and crash beside them!  Tonight I am showcasing a song I first heard at my daughter’s dance recital a couple of years ago.  At the time, I loved the eerie, dreamlike quality of the song.  I loved the hard pounding rhythm.  It was short, sweet, and as mesmerizing as the dancers I seen perform their moves to it.  I was driven to find the song on You Tube, and then I downloaded it onto my phone.

      Lately I haven’t slept well.  My nights have been interrupted with dreams so Prelude 12/ 21 by the American alternative rock band AFI seems to be as good as song as any to share today.  Enjoy!  I raise my glass to my hosts, until another Tuesday rolls around…rock on!
