Well, I'm BACK--sorry for not blogging for so long--but, part of my reason is that we've been "OUT OF THE COUNTRY"--we spent a week with our best friends in Cabo San Lucas, MEXICO!!!
This was the closest COLOR I could pick that matched the water/Ocean/SEA OF CORTEX, there.
And, it was WONDERFUL--so far, MY ALL-TIME BEST VACATION--so, I would definitely recommend it to ANYONE!!! Larry thought things/food were too expensive, but the most expensive things were at the CostCo Store, there--go figure??!!!!! A flat of water was like $33!!!!
Besides the GORGEOUS SCENERY--our Condo/balcony was RIGHT ACROSS from the rocks that form the 'El Arco' that's the FAMOUS ARCH at the VERY end of the pennisula, there, and you CAN'T drive to it--you can ONLY get to it by boat or jet ski!!!
So, we got our closest to it on a SUNSET Dinner Cruise that was just FANTASTIC--with great food & entertainment--singing & dancing--2 different Mexican couples who were GREAT!!!!!
And, then we got CLOSE-UPs of the ARCH!!!!! SO VERY NEAT!!!!
Every day & LOTS of times DURING every day we were there I THANKED GOD for letting me be able to visit such a WONDERFUL CREATION of HIS & then, as folks waited on us & we took taxis to & from our GREAT HOTEL--Villa Del Palmar--I always THANKED those guys, so I found myself THANKING someone LOTS of times EVERY DAY & now that I'm back home.......
I've been thinking about that & WONDERING if in DOING THAT is PART of what made that vacation SO SUPER!!!!!!!!! Have you read the article on 'BEING GRATEFUL' in the most recent 'Reader's Digest'? It's titled--"How the New Science of THANK YOU Can CHANGE YOUR LIFE"--and, then on the front it's 'under' "The MOST IMPORTANT WORDS YOU'LL SAY TODAY"!!!!!
The BEST part of the article, I thought, was where it listed ALL the THINGS being GRATEFUL will do FOR YOU--You'll FEEL BETTER, be MORE OPTIMISTIC, be MORE ENERGETIC, be MORE DETERMINED, be MORE INTERESTED, be MORE JOYFUL, will exercise MORE & have FEWER ILLNESSES!!!!!!!!!
So, besides sin & EVIL being in our world, maybe the ones of us who are TRYING to be 'GOOD' SHOULD ALSO REMEMBER TO BE MORE THANKFUL/GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything we have/will have/have had COMES FROM OUR GOD--even the air we breathe!!!!!!!!!
So, my challenge to you, TODAY, is to consciously REMEMBER to be MORE THANKFUL EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!! It will MAKE YOUR LIFE HAPPIER--whether you're in CABO or not!!!!!!!!!
And, I would LOVE to hear back from you, after you've done this, to see just HOW it CHANGES YOUR LIFE--for the BETTER!!!!! MUCH LOVE, MamaRose

What a great post! First off, so glad your trip was the trip of a lifetime. I had a feeling it would be. It's just so beautiful down there, that you can't help but be in awe of it every single day! So glad that you have such good friends that you were able to enjoy it with. Can't believe you didn't mention your parasailing adventure. I'm still shocked you did that!!!
Also, thanks for the reminder to always be thankful. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at thanking God and others, but I know I don't do it as often as I could. I'll start working on this!
Love you!
Bless YOUR heart, AJ, you are ALREADY a 'THANKFUL/GRATEFUL' person--but, we can all get better!
I ran across a song we sing at church named: 'GIVE THANKS'--Here are the words:
GIVE THANKS with a grateful heart,
GIVE THANKS to the Holy One,
GIVE THANKS because He's given
Jesus Christ, His Son.
And now let the weak say, "I am strong," let the poor say, "I am
rich because of what the Lord has done FOR US.
GIVE THANKS, GIVE THANKS,
GIVE THANKS, GIVE THANKS,
GIVE THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great words, huh??!!!!!
