Mount Rushmore
Still amazes me....
Mount Rushmore
The Black Hills of South Dakota have always held a special meaning. The American Indians have considered these hills sacred for centuries and today Mount Rushmore is considered a sacred place to people from many different cultures and countries. To some it reflects Patriotism; to others it reflects the natural beauty of our nation, to some it represents a great work of art and still to others it presents a challenge for them to begin to share their own cultures. Each visitor to the memorial is able to find within themselves their own idea of what it reflects and hold that idea true.
The Black Hills for centuries have been a place of healing and reflection. This belief is still alive today at the memorial where millions of visitors come each year to reflect on their surroundings at Mount Rushmore, the larger than life sculpture, the magnificent Black Hills scenery, and wildlife.

PUNS... made me giggle
Puns: (Just had too made me giggle)
1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.
4. A dyslexic man walked into a bra.5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."
6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
7. Doc, I can't stop singing "The Green, Green Grass of Home!" That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome. Is it common? Well, "It's Not Unusual."
8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaimed Daisy.
9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids are nothing to look at either.
10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
11. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
12. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know you can't - I've cut off your arms!"
13. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel.
14. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
15. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says "Dam!".
16. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
17. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why", they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
18. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
19. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him... (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)... a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

The Proposal:
We were on holiday in Canada… we went to a beautiful cozy restaurant in Mont Tremblant in Quebec. It was snowing outside and incredibly romantic. He made a champagne toast at dinner and talked about how I was the love of his life and he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Of course I said YES!
P.S. NEED TO START PLANNING URGENTLY! Oh dear oh dear

Your words...
What you speak about, you can bring about.
If you keep saying you can't stand your job,you might lose your job.
If you keep saying you can't stand your body,your body can become sick.
If you keep saying you can't stand your car,your car could be stolen or just stop operating.
If you keep saying you're always broke, guess what?You'll always be broke.
If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman,you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.
If you keep saying you can't find a job,you will remain unemployed.
If you keep saying you can't find someoneto love you or believe in you,our very thoughts will attract moreexperiences to confirm your beliefs.
Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positiveand power packed with faith, hope, love and action.
Don't be afraid to believe that you canhave what you want and deserve.
Watch your "Thoughts,"they become words;
Watch your "Words,"they become actions;
Watch your "Actions,"they become habits;
Watch your "Habits,"they become character;
Watch your "Character",for it becomes your "Destiny"
So.......To prevent any obstacles.......
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!Enjoy every minute you live!!
