Good Morning Friends,
?
Todays message is about recognizing the simple things in our lives;?like family, friends, loved ones,?our home, our job and the many other blessings we have. Realizing how much a loss of any one of the blessings above, could alter your life immensely. Take time to be Thankful.??I plant the seed and leave It for you to decide, realize there are many who would give anything to be where you are In life.?

?"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."

Enjoy your life at every moment
Once a fisherman was sitting near seashore, under the shadow of a tree smoking his beedi. Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him and enquired as to why he was sitting under a tree smoking and not working. To this the poor fisherman replied that he had caught enough fishes for the day.
Hearing this the rich man got angry and said: Why don’t you catch more fishes instead of sitting in shadow wasting your time?
Fisherman asked: What would I do by catching more fishes?
Businessman: You could catch more fishes, sell them and earn more money, and buy a bigger boat.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could go fishing in deep waters and catch even more fishes and earn even more money.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could buy many boats and employ many people to work for you and earn even more money.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could become a rich businessman like me.
Fisherman: What would I do then?
Businessman: You could then enjoy your life peacefully.
Fisherman: Isn’t that what I am doing now?
Moral?– You don’t need to wait for tomorrow to be happy and enjoy your life. You don’t even need to be more rich, more powerful to enjoy life. LIFE is at this moment, enjoy it fully.

A little humor to brighten your day:
?
The Short Bartender?
A bald guy walks into a bar, turns to the noticeably short bartender, and says "Hey midget, gimme a beer!"
The bartender gives the man a beer, but tells the man not to refer to him as a midget.
A few drinks later, the guy turns to the bartender and again says, "hey midget... gimme another beer!"
The bartender gets upset and warns the man about calling him a midget, but gives him his beer.
After the third time this happens, the bartender says, "Hey! I told you to stop calling me a midget! How would you like it if I called you 'baldy' if our positions were reversed?"
The guy thinks about it and admits that he wouldn't mind. The bartender disagrees, and ultimately they agree to switch positions to let the man see how it feels.
The bartender moves to the front of the bar, and the guy moves to the back. The bartender says, "Hey baldy, gimme a beer!"
The guy leans over the bar and says, "Sorry, but we don't serve midgets here."
