Poppy Tuesday on December 22nd 2015

Good morning friends.

Happy Poppy Tuesday. A day filled with Hope and Possibilities.  Remember, if the Pops can do it, anyone can. Faith is a very powerful tool.  Its easy to become dismayed when life throws us the tough stuff.

That’s when I return to the basics and remind myself that if the Pops can do it, so can I.  Faith can eradicate any challenges that stand in front you.  Faith belongs to all of us and its ours for the keeping. Nothing and nobody can take that away from you.

OK, lets kick this Poppy Tuesday off with Two Positive notions.

1. You cannot lose if you do Not quit.  Having said that, make sure that what you seek brings you happiness. We don’t need to be right, we want to be happy.

2. We are all busy in our own lives, that’s a given. Everyone has time for a random act of kindness each day. Bringing service into our lives neutralizes the unnecessary storms we bring to our lives.

So with that, we would like to wish you all a fantastic Tuesday.  Day 348 here in Puerto Rico. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Elf and his Dad

Dad and Elf

Good evening friends.

Thanks for stopping by tonight.  Sammy & Family really appreciates it.  The title of this post is; “Elf and his dad.”  — We wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Happy Holiday.  We hope its been a great season for you all.

So the countdown for Christmas is on like “Donkey Kong.”  To all the millennials feel free to Google that name to understand the reference.  What a year this has been. I left NYC on January 11th, 2015 right before a brutal Winter last year.  I guess that’s where the slogan;  “I would rather be lucky than good” comes from.

The Smith family and Sammy & Family are humbled as we know many animals and people are alone through the holidays. For many its just more time alone, needn’t matter what month it is. We pray its starts getting better for them immediately.

I say this to our friends around the world pretty much every season.  Some of you have even taken me up on it.  If you need to reach out, here is my email; smith7024@yahoo.com and we can connect from there.  One of the good things that came out of all the screws up I’ve had is experience. Many a times when people connect with me, I’ve been where they are, and know the way out. Or at least the way to it getting just a little better.  Sometimes just a little bit better leads to a bigger rally and a new lease on life.

So open invitation for anyone and everyone.  Most importantly, we do the best we can with what we have in this life.  No need to take anything personal.  If you have no family, then we are your family.  Everyone gets admitted to our family.

OK, lets close with two positive notions.

1. Remember the Chinese proverb; “If you fall down 7 times, you get up 8 times” — It does not matter what your score is. We suit up and show up.  If we do that, we are all winners.  Case closed.

2. Nobody can change everything, everyone can change something. A guaranteed way to create a miracle is to rescue a pet in need of a loving home.  You will be saving a life, and they will take your life to new heights and a higher sense of purpose.  We call that a;  “Win Win”

It’s the most Wonderful time of the year

Feel free to listen to audio, or read the post; “Its the Most Wonderful time of the Year” right below the audio. Thank you.

Good evening friends.

Scott Smith here for Sammy & Family.  Being its the most wonderful time of year, we figured to take it back to NYC, because New York City is the Christmas Capital of the world.  As you all know the Christmas Tree is located in the heart of Rockefeller Center towering over a beautiful ice skating rink.

If you ever were skeptical about Magic, you wont be once you have experienced this live. No City on Earth does Christmas like the big apple.

This Tradition at Rock Center dates back all the way to 1933.  The Skating rink was built in 1936.  Today, in 2015, 83 years later, the tree stands at 80 feet high entertaining people from all over the world.

During the Holiday Season alone, up to 750, 000 come see the tree in person. Its literally the size of an 8 story building decorated to the hilt.  over 500,000 people walk by the tree everyday.

Million and millions of people from around the world tune into the Christmas Tree lighting Ceremony ever year.

Friends, I’m not a big traveler as you know.  Had I Not grown up in NY, visiting NYC during Christmas time would be number 1 on my bucket list starting immediately.

Goodnight everyone.  See you tomorrow.

Goodnight from Sammy & Family on December 16th, 2015

Sammy & Family on Dec. 16th, 2015

Good evening friends.

Thank you for stopping by. Life was good today on December 16th, 2015. It didn’t have to be that way, Thank God that it is. Sammy boy came by to say goodnight to everyone.  Well the Christmas countdown is on.  Even though we all know the count has been on since Thanksgiving.  Its a season of feeling blessed and grateful.

I’m very blessed for my family, friends, and 6 dogs.  I am extremely grateful that Rocky walked up to me and my 3 boys on November 19th, 2015 and just decided to join our family. He really didn’t ask, he just joined it. He is extremely special. I love him to death.  With said, I have black and blues all over my body from wrestling with him each day. I kid you not, Rocky is like a mini horse. He is so playful and at the same time as strong as a tank.  So in so facto, I am literally wrestling with a tank.

OK, lets close up shop here with two positive notions.

1. The first one I will take. “Tomorrow I will start my diet” lol.

2. If anybody is experiencing some holiday blues, connect with me on email and i will do my best to give you a boost…
