Good Morning.

Here is a great thought for the day:

Milt, who lived at the time in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a trainer and consultant who periodically has worked with our company. At the end of a week of training, he and his wife, Jane, took a walk on Friday night. Jane said to him, "Milt, you missed my anniversary this week." Surprised, Milt said, "What anniversary?"

"Five years cancer free," said Jane. Five years earlier Jane had had a mastectomy. She and Milt celebrated every year that she was cancer free.

Milt felt awful. He couldn't believe he had forgotten. The week before, when he and Jane had been talking one night, they'd decided that she needed a new car. Since their son was still in college in Australia, they'd decided to wait a year until he graduated. That night, Milt said to himself, "Why am I waiting? I am so lucky that Jane is still in my life."

The next morning he called the Saturn dealership in Albuquerque and talked to one of their salespeople. I'm not kidding — the salesman's real name was Billy Graham. Milt explained the situation to Billy, saying that his kids had told him Jane really wanted a white car. "Could you get me a white Saturn by next Saturday when I get back home from training?" Milt asked.
Billy told Milt that white Saturns were hard to get. "But if you're going to come in next Saturday, I'll have one ready," he said.

The next Saturday morning Milt told Jane that he was running a bunch of errands, but he invited her to come with him so they could go out to lunch. During their drive, they passed the Saturn dealership. Milt told Jane he had to stop in for some materials because he was giving a speech about Saturn to the Chamber of Commerce. When they entered the dealership, they saw only one car; a white Saturn in the center of the showroom.
"Milt, that's the kind of car I'd love to have!" Jane said. She ran over to the Saturn and, with a big grin on her face, got in. When she got out of the car and walked around the front of it, she let out a scream and begin to cry.

Milt had no idea what had happened. When he got to the front of the car, he saw a beautiful sign on the hood of the car that read:
Yes, Jane, this is your car! Congratulations on five years cancer free.Love, Milt, Billy and the whole Saturn staff.

When Billy saw them coming, he got everyone out of the showroom and into the parking lot, so that Milt and Jane could be alone. As they were crying in each other's arms, all of a sudden they heard applause. They looked up to see everyone giving them a hand.

"We do not remember days. We remember moments in our lives." Make them!

Have a wonderful day

Another inspiration sent to me from a dear friend at a local office.

Something to think about

Here is another inspirational story I received from my good friend at London Properties. I hope it makes an impact for you as well.

Good Morning. Here is a great thought for the day:

"And love the people in our lives like we've never loved before."

I recently had dinner with someone who told me that one of his best friends had been killed in a private plane crash, and something happened at the service that he'll never forget. He shared the story with me.

At the memorial service, his friend's wife walked to the podium to speak to the gathering. She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together. At the moment, she had been too grief-stricken to answer, but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question. They were in their late forties when he died, and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier. She had quit her job to obtain her master's degree, and her husband never wavered in his support. He held down his own job and also did the cooking, cleaning, and other household chores while she studied for her degree.

One time they both stayed up all night. She was finishing her thesis, and he was preparing for an important business meeting. That morning, she walked out on their loft, looked at him over the railing, and just thought about how much she loved him. She knew how important this meeting was to his career, and she was feeling guilty that she didn't even have time to make his breakfast. He grabbed his briefcase and hurried out. She heard the garage door open and close, but much to her surprise, she heard it open again about thirty seconds later. From above, she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the neglected coffee table. Tracing his finger through the dust, he wrote the words, "I love you." Then he raced back to his car.

The new widow then looked out at her audience and said, "John and I had a wonderful life together. We have been around the world several times, we've had everything money can buy... but nothing comes close to that moment.

"Our lives move with lightning speed. Although I'm very proud of my business accomplishments, in the end my life comes back to loving and being loved.

Good Times

The 4th for us was wonderful. We stayed home, watched all 3 netflix movies we have neglected, our computers stayed off, and we ate all of our favorite things. Then we had some firework fun.

Here is some video from our 4th. Remember to hit play twice for it to play.

Here is a video I took a few minutes ago of our kitten in her new favorite place.

$150.00 for a new cat tree and she gets a kick out of this. sheesh.
