Good morning friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Tuesday.  A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember if Poppy and Rocky can make it, anyone can.

Day 403 here in Puerto Rico and day 90 since we rescued Rocky. Big milestone for Rocky as this is a full 3 months since we all rescued each other.

Its nice to be part of life on February 16th, 2016. It’s true what they say; “90 percent of success is just showing up”  — That’s a great slogan. I find it very grounding.

OK. Let kick this Poppy Rocky Tuesday off with two Postie Notions.

1. Its important go after what you want in this life.  If we don’t get it, at least we tried.  And if you don’t get it, you lost nothing. So lets step up and be true to ourselves.  Its like Barry Manilow sang in the song “I’m ready to take a chance again” –  ♫♫ You get what you get when you go for it ♫♫ 

2. Lets listen to people that are older than us. They’ve been where we’ve been. Experience is the best teacher in life. We know that. So it would only make sense to pay attention to what more experienced people are saying.

See you tonight friends.

Good morning friends.

Today’s post is in observance of Presidents’ Day. Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. That’s the definition from History.com.

As you can see, Mount Rushmore in South Dakota has been renovated to illustrate the sign of the times. President Sammy has taken place of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s sculpture. Now its true, Sammy has not officially been a President yet. But all momentum points to an easy win for the Presidency in the future.

Hey its like they say; “If you can dream it, you can have it”

Good morning friends.

Happy Valentine’s Day. To all our friends back East or anywhere else dealing with these freezing temperatures, we hear you.

So I did a little homework on what exactly Valentines Day is all about.

Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France and Australia. In Great Britain, Valentine’s Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900 printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology.

Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one’s feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine’s Day greetings.

That’s actually the Contemporary story behind Valentines day. It actually goes back to the 1400’s.

Lets look at some fun facts about this holiday.

The greeting card industry says that about 1 billion cards are sent each year.  More than 62 percent of Americans celebrate it. Second only to Christmas.

1. More 35 million heart shape chocolates are sold.

2.  220 million roses are produced each year for Valentine’s day.

3. Altogether Americans spend 20 billion dollars annually.  

4. Six million couples are likely to get engaged on February 14th.

Good morning friends.

Rocky wanted to come by and wish everyone a beautiful day.  Thank you life for this gift of today. Each day we wake up gives us a chance to reset and start anew.

Day 398 here in Puerto Rico, and day 85 since we rescued Rocky.  Boy oh boy is he getting strong. Its at the point where Vanessa and I both have to be involved to get his harness on him.  If one of us tried to do it alone, it would take at least 15 minutes, and that’s assuming he will allow it, lol.

Pit Bulls are extremely strong. Even his head is like a giant muscle.  The good news is that they are very sweet too.  We were all really fortunate to have found each other.

While we may not be a conventional family, there is a lot of love in this house.  As a result of all that love, our 6 dogs feel very secure.  And that’s good.

Let’s kick this day off with two Positive Notions.

1. If we want to something to change, we have to change something. If we are afraid to change it, that’s OK, but we must take an action.  What is Not OK is to acquiesce and settle for something we don’t want.

2. If I am the designer of my day, I choose to design a good day. Either we create our day, or our day will create us.

Good morning friends.

We are cruising right through the week here. Now grant it this car is stationary but it still manages to illustrate the cruising principal.

It’s great to be alive on February 10th, 2016. It didn’t have to be this way. Thank God that it is. We want to wish everyone a fantastic day today.  Let’s give today a chance, it might be the greatest day of our lives, you never know.

OK, lets kick this Wednesday off with two Positive Notions.

1. I did my best and my best is always good enough.

2. Where there is a will, there’s a way. Keep on keeping on.

See you tonight friends. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
