I BELIEVE in the POWER of HUGS!


I am a believer. I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. I believe happiness breeds happiness. I believe in a hard day's work. I believe in the power of ONE. I believe people are good. I believe in the innocence of children. I believe in choices. I believe in the value of a good education. I believe if at first you don't succeed, try try again. I believe sometimes nice guys finish last. I believe life is sometimes unfair. I believe chocolate can make things better. I believe children need parents who act like parents, not like friends. I believe people can change. I believe old dogs can learn new tricks. I believe good people can make bad mistakes. I believe if I try hard enough, I can overcome any obstacle. I believe experience is life's best teacher. I believe in admitting mistakes. I believe an apology helps right a wrong. I believe in using good manners. I believe in the power of prayer. I believe in this country. I believe in faith, family, and friends. I believe a kiss can make it better. I am a believer.

I believe life is beautiful and GOD is good!

Magpie- How did you know he had not one, but three plants. I was so surprized and they are alive! They say if you can keep a plant alive and a then a dog...you can keep yourself going too!

I also believe life is beautiful and our creator is watching over us at all times!

I believe you reap what you sow.
You show kindness and happiness and you will get it back.
An outstretched hand has more power than the back of a hand.
A hug is compasion.

My religious beliefs are complicated but i believe if ones religion brings them peace of mind and respect for others then it's worth being part of.

This post is amazing. Absolutely amazing darling. Thanks because you made me pause and think. Thanks too for the wonderful support on my blog. I smiled from ear to ear and yes, loving animals matters a great deal. Seeing your daugher with that HUGE bundle of joy really made me laugh!!!

It's funny because I really believe meeting that distastful gentleman this morning was necessary because without him I wouldn't have met the wonderful woman or been at the park to see the wee ones finish the marathon. I feel lucky I bumped into him, but could easily have done without the stress. I've realized something about myself too. I'm relentless when I know I'm right and I would literally go to the end of the earth for my ferals, or any animal for that matter.

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to take your beautiful idea and post something similar. Thanks for your kind words. And thanks too for having Walker on your comment page!!! I know Walker! What a treat! Hi Walker!

Much love,
Suze XO

Chef E: I saw it next to the boxed Christmas tree pic! Sorry, I'm not psychic.

I would be lost without my faith in God to carry me through those dark times. From what you have shared, I think you can relate.

Walker: We have many beliefs in common, my friend. Thank you for sharing.

Suzanne: Thank you for your lovely comments. I agree that we must know and experience negative to appreciate positive.

I think my little Bella needed to give the hug more that the kitty needed to receive one. Agree?

I am looking forward to your next post.
