Book of Opportunity 2012



We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words
on them ourselves. The book is called "Opportunity" and its first chapter
is New Year's Day. --
Edith Lovejoy Pierce

 

 

 

What is the title of your first chapter?  Mine is Gratitude.

For me, every day starts with Gratitude.  I'm grateful for all the blessings in my life and for the lessons taught in previous editions of the book of Opportunity.  I'm especially grateful for another volume that I get to fill with love, friendships, experience, and hopefully, wisdom.  One that I'd be proud to display in the Library that is My Life.

What is the title of your first chapter?  Please share the title of your first chapter of Opportunity 2012.

Happy New Year!

Thanks MaryKay.

Chuck, so true, so true.  It really does start with Faith, doesn't it?

 

Happy New Year!

Karen, That attitude makes so much else in life smoother.  We watch others that are always dissatisfied with what life has given them (or not), rather than focusing on the good.

Hi Bliz, Happy New Year!

Years ago, I faced some pretty serious circumstances.  After that, I learned that nothing is worth getting (too) upset about.  Oh, I'm human and have my moments.  :)  But I tend to come out of it fast, find the lesson in it and move on.

Hi Karen~  Happy New Year!  My first chapter will be FAMILY.  I plan to spend more time with family, whether in person, by phone, or via Skype.

Hi Donna, I think that's a wonderful chapter.  So much of what we do is for our loved ones, but often that takes time away from giving them the best gift of all -- ourselves.  Wishing you a wonderful year ahead full of great family time.

Karen--what a touching message that reminds me to keep my priorities in line.  Faith, family, honor, integrity.  I like the title 'Opportunity' as it tells me that I have 365 days to make the most of what God has given me.  That is my opportunity to be the best I can be.

I am glad to learn that Donna has Skype.  Did you figure out whether you can get it on your computer?

Hi Mary, I still need to take time and re-load Skype onto my laptop.  It's been a pain because I don't know what was wiped off it when it crashed until moments like this.  When I see a conversation, I remember..."oh yeah...I used to have that!"  Then it's off to reload it onto this laptop.  I'll put bump finding and reloading Skype up on my to-do list and try to work on it this weekend. 

And thanks for the Feature!  ;)
