FAILURE LIKE A FROWN TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN

A frown is a smile upside down. So failure at things can often lead down the path to success. If something does not work then try again with another attempt or idea. Many successful people had many tries at trying to establish themselves. Once successful there is no guarantee that the top will be the permanent spot. Success can be measured in many ways. Usually in our materialistic society it is by the amount of money one has and the expensive car and size of house. However for real people it can be measured in the love for family, faith, living a life that has meaning and just being happy with the cards that are dealt. We see where the rich and famous go for a vacation with the $10,000 a suite for the night. But I know many people and often family members who have a great time with their camper camping at a favourite park and sitting by the camp fire. With Smores! Do you know some successful people? A retired entomologist, pilot, brothers, older people writing books and family! My children do not know how well they are doing raising their own children! Immersed in daily activities one can lose sight of the broader picture. So look at yourself in the mirror, is there a frown? Well try to smile, if nothing else happens it make you a happier person attracting others and giving back to the world!

THE AWARDS SEASON IS OVER

Finally. I will miss all the glam. Love the dresses. Great to see fabulous looking people. Gives some ideas for any major social events and what dress to want. Now for the real awards. Who will have the best looking front Garden? What child will come first at the dance competition? What university will your senior obtain final acceptance? Will there be a scholarship? Awards are interesting. Some people are lucky to do one body of work and get royalties and awards over and over. For the majority, you do the work once and there is no continual awards coming. The reward is just a job well done! So back to trying to see the movies that were nominated and at least the winner- Spotlight!  Back to awards- the talent is there but it is the opportunities, the people around you that allow the sun to shine on your parade. Hug your family! Tell your people how special they are to you! Everyone deserves an award for something! The last day of February- yeah an award for getting through winter!!

KEYS

Does he have the key to my heart?What is the key to success? A key-that little object that opens and closes a lock has so many meanings in our language. It unlocks a door or a mystery. There are keys on an instrument like a piano. Each key has a different sound. Some people sing "off key". The keys on a keyboard allow us to type and convey a message on our computer. There can be a master key in many buildings that open all the doors. You could be the key witness in a trial. In a problem it could be the key or main factor. Vandals may key a car making horrible stratches especially with expensive cars. In basketball, the key is an important part of the court. Many good shots have been made from the key. Even young children can be "latch key kids" when they have to arrive home alone until a parent returns from work. Alicia Keys is a popular musician and actress in the United States. The Florida Key is a favourite place for visitors in that state. In Tasmania, Australia there is Key Island. At Harbourfront in Toronto, there is Queen's Quay(pronounced as Key). Some people collect old keys. We all can have a variety of key chains to organize our keys. We have keys to our house, car, safety deposit box, music box, locker, office, lawn mover, garden shed, hotel room- well the list could go on! Where do you leave your keys? Many people wander around their places looking for their keys. How many times do we dig in our purses, ladies, looking for our keys too? Leaving a job- turn in your keys! Sometimes we would like a key to turn someone off!
