Make the world a better place for animals and people

Better world for you and me

Hi friends how are you ?

It’s great to be here with everyone.  Thanks to all of you, my family and our 5 dogs my loneliness levels are the lowest they’ve ever been.

We hope everyone had a nice Wednesday today.  A couple of you have mentioned to me you have plans to come to Puerto Rico in the next six months or so.   We’re very excited to hear that, and of course we will meet anyone who wants to see Sammy & Family during your stay in Puerto Rico, its our pleasure.

A couple of things went right today, a couple of things could’ve gone better, so be it, God willing I and we get another shot at life tomorrow.  We see a lot of overwhelming things in the media day in and day out, it can be very discouraging knowing there is not much we can do about so much of it.  But we have to remember, if each one of us does a little or gives the best efforts we can, then we have made the world a better place for other people, animals, and ourselves.

When i think of it in those terms the world is less overwhelming to me.  Additionally it puts things into perspective so i can realize my efforts did make a substantial difference in the lives of others, and that is how the world can change.

Signing off from Puerto Rico on day 137, Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.

A picture of Happy

Sammy and Cherry Blossoms are a gift

Good morning friends.

We brought a you picture of happy today.  Sammy and Cherry Blossoms.  You might think of it as a mood booster.   Let’s kick this day off with two positive notions.

1. I’m in the business of seeking happiness.

2. I want friends in my life that make me happy.

With that my friends, today is another gift.   That’s not just lip service, today is a gift. Let’s put a happy bow around it.

Sincerely, Scott Smith :)

Another Day In Life on May 27th, 2015

Life was OK today on May 27th, 2015

Good evening friends.

It’s great to be with everyone.  We hope you had a real nice Tuesday.  Life was OK today on May 27th, 2015.  Good, bad or indifferent we did the best we could today, no judgments.  Sometimes when life beats us up on a particular day, we have to remember on that day, it was many people’s last.  Each day is a gift.

The reason its a gift is because its not guaranteed.  When we wake up in the morning with whatever _hit we have to deal with, let’s be thankful we woke up.  It doesn’t mean we can’t want for more, but it does mean we should appreciate the air we have the privilege of breathing.

If we don’t remind ourselves of these things daily, its easy to start taking things for granted.  So with that, let’s close with 2 quotes to ease us into the evening.

1. Today is done, and whats done is done.  Everybody makes mistakes, beating yourself up about it will only makes it worse. Trying not to repeat the mistake is a step in the right direction.

2. “Do what you can where you are with what you have”   — Theodore Roosevelt —

Sincerely,

Scott Smith

A Happy Birthday Note From My Sister Jessica Smith, Irish Twins

Birthday note from my sister Jessica Smith

Good evening friends.  A really nice message from my sister Jessica Smith.  11 months apart, Irish Twins.  This was on my personal wall, figured to share it with all our ELS friends too.

Message below;

Happy Birthday to a true survivor. You have shown yourself to have the same strength as Daddy. I thank God every day that I didn’t lose you. What you never knew was that I was praying over your body while you were in that coma. I was using all the love I had in my whole soul, and begging God not to take you.

I knew your life was just beginning. You have so much to be proud of. You make so many people happy with your love for this community. I’ve never seen someone work as hard as you in my life. I always knew you were an artist. I was just waiting for you to know it.

My only wish for you is happiness and love. It makes my heart so happy to see you so happy and so healthy. I love you more than I could ever explain. Happy 6th birthday, to my heart.

Jess

Happy 6th Birthday Scott Smith

Happy 6th Birthday Scott Smith

Good morning friends.

Welcome to my 6th birthday.  Remember the math, you take your current age (46) and subtract the year you kind of figured life out (40), so 46 – 40 = 6 years old.

Happy Sunday Funday.  This is Vanessa & I at The Cheesecake Factory.  I would like to thank my mother for treating us to such a fun time.

Sammy & Family would like to wish a happy Birthday to Ann Marie Rabbit, to Cecilia Ihlo-Domain’s furbaby Lola for her 1 years old birthday, and happy Birthday to Jane Bauckman’s grandson.  We are going to post more fun pictures throughout the day.

Remember friends, today is Sunday Funday where we let imagination back in the door and into our lives.  We get to be us again, the people we set out to be from the very beginning.

Signing off from Puerto Rico for now on day 134, Scott Smith a reformed 6 year old.  “Mom can we have Fruit Loops for dinner” ?

Good Morning on Saturday May 23rd, 2015

Nicole Miller's birthday

Good morning friends.

We would like to wish our great friends Renee Price and Nicole Miller a very Happy Birthday today.  Have a great one Renee and Nichole. Birthday fever is in the air, you can feel it everywhere.  Hey that rhymed.

We hope everyone had a nice evening and wishing y’all a wonderful day.  Quick heads up, there is this bald guy with a slightly big nose named Scott Smith running around town saying to everyone not to make a big deal about his birthday. Don’t believe a word he says, he is an attention hog and is dying for a big spectacle.

Have wonderful day friends, today is a gift, especially for Renee Price and Nicole Miller.
