"I Believe in You!"
A message of Hope, stories from the
road.
By Bob Perks
*************************************************
Hello, my friend!
Extraordinary! Our celebrating continues on in our
hearts, but the time
of feasting, gathering and rejoicing is done for
now. Over the last
week, my son Keith celebrated his "Eleven Twenty" with
three different parties.
We had our party for him here
at our home on Sunday. It was then that I presented Keith
with a basket of cards, letters, emails and gifts from
"Friends he never met."
About 125 of you. So many names I recognized because
you have always
responded. Some I discovered for the first
time.
Whether you participated or privately shared in our joy,
all of your prayers
and well wishes were greatly appreciated.
Keith has crossed to that ten years cancer free stage and
we are blessed, indeed.
Go to my photo gallery and click on Keith's picture to see
a few moments in his day.
Love always and all ways,
Bob and Marianne

Today's Message:
"A Day like this"
by Bob Perks
"It was a day like this," he said. "A day so perfect
that nothing could go wrong."
"It was a day like this," she said. "A day so
ordinary, I never expected anything
good would come from it."
So what was the difference between his day and
hers?
Perception. Expectations. Want.
Desire. Faith. Attitude.
I could go on.
Still, it was the very same day. A day like
this.
So, why would one day be good and another
bad?
The answer lies in the fact that a day cannot be good or
bad. It just "is."
It's the way you see it, the way I see it and simply
the way it is.
One looks at a painting of a single flower surrounded by
darkness and says, "Oh, how very sad.
It appears to be so lonely. This shows how the
darkness, the ugly of the world, is consuming
everything that is beautiful!"
Another person sees the same painting and says,
"How powerful! Look at the single
flower rising out of the darkness. What a wonderful
example of hope in the world!"
Your perception is your reality. How you choose to
see things in your life is how you live it.
It was the very same picture.
Here is a new day before you. A single, ordinary,
perfectly imperfect, day.
Perhaps the first day of the best part of your life.
You don't know that. So live expecting
it to be.
Dr. Wayne Dyer asks, "Is it I'll believe it when I
see it? Or "I'll see it when I believe it?"
The best day of your life..."A day like
this."
"I believe in You!"
