Good morning friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Tuesday. A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember, If Poppy can Rocky can make it, anyone can.  If the face of the decks being stacked against them, they kept their opened and their heads up.

Life has a way of making sure people and animals find each other at precisely the right moment. When I first saw Patrick and Rocky, I knew with every ounce of my soul we were meant to journey this life together.

Day 410 here in Puerto Rico and day 97 since we rescued Rocky. I love that boy more than anything. We have really grown attached to each other in the last 3 months.

OK, a few pointers to set this day on the right foot.

1. Its easy to get distracted with all the smoke and mirrors life throws at us. The things its nothing more than static in our heads. Let it fall to the waste side and keep your feet on the ground. Don’t worry, instinctively our hearts and minds know the way.  Let’s have faith in that.

2. I know I keep repeating this but I know it helps a lot of our quiet friends out here. I am a very grateful and happy man today. That does not mean I don’t have lousy days, of course I do. But when I have lousy days now, I shake them off, I don’t sulk in them. We can’t control certain things that happen to us in life, but we can control how we deal with them. For me, I keep it simple, everyday I wake up, I’m a winner. God showed me the light and put happiness into my life. That was all his doing. Had he not done that I could never have gotten out of the destructive cycle I was in.  So hold onto your faith friends.

Amen. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
