St. Patrick’s Day 2016

St. Patrick's Day 2016

Good morning friends.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. This morning we take it back to NYC where will be about 2 million people participating in the parade. Last I checked, that’s a lot of people.

The parade begins on 5th at 44th Street. It ends on 5th Avenue at 79th Street at around 4:30 p.m.

St Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17th. In 2016. The day honors the patron saint of Ireland, but celebrations are held around the world.  It is believed that St. Patrick died in the year 461 A.D. on March 17th.

Green is the color of St. Patrick’s day as a result of green ribbons and shamrocks are said to have been worn as early as the 17th century.

Ok, that was just a couple of tidbits about this parade. While St. Patrick’s tradition is centuries old, in NYC, it has somehow turned into a day of “Anything goes” — Take a day off, take a half day, call in sick tomorrow, but get that green beer today. While its a Parade of pride to millions, its a day to blow off steam and drink your head off for many too. Hey, who can judge ?

Happy Festivus. See you tonight. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Poppy Rocky Tuesday on March 15th, 2016

Poppy Rocky Tuesday

Good morning friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Tuesday. A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember if Poppy and Rocky can make it, anyone can. Keep the faith. And we are running low on Faith, let’s use some more. If you believe, we all have an endless supply of Faith.

Here’s some great mindsets to have.  “Its great to be alive”  — “Things will get better, maybe starting immediately”  — “Each day we wake up, we get another shot to do the right thing”  — “Just because I was like that, does Not mean I have to stay like that”

OK friends, have a wonderful Tuesday. Day 428 here in Puerto Rico and day 118 since we rescued rocky.

I am feeling a lot of miracles today. Let’s keep our minds and hearts open and invite new positive experiences into our lives.

See you tonight.  Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Goodnight from Puerto Rico on Day 423

March 10th, 2016

Good evening friends.

Day 421 here in Puerto Rico today. Thank you life for allowing me to participate on March 10th, 2016. I find it important to say that especially on days that just went wrong. Today actually sucked. Pardon my French. I hope that was not the case for all of my friends out here.

Life has taught me to remember on days like this that they pass like everything else. And then the suns shines again. And you know what; after a big night sleep tonight, I believe this will pass by tomorrow. The key is not to belabor the point.

OK, so yes, Sammy’s 11th birthday is on Monday, March 14th, 2016. We hope you will come share it with us on “Everybody Loves Sammy’s FB page. If you like. you can post pictures of your dogs, your families, friends or whomever.

Lets close out with Two Positive notions.

1. Someday’s we are off tilt, that’s normal. Those days don’t define us. There will be days like that now and again. Acceptance makes those kind of days tolerable. Simply knowing that they will pass gives us a sense of freedom which sets forth a new attitude.

2. We all get knocked down, but then we get up.  As long as we do that, we have done the right thing. I made a mental contract with myself ; “When I get knocked down, I get up. I never stay down”  — The only way I will stay down is when my time is up. Minus that, we suit up and show up for our lives. Non negotiable.

See you tomorrow friends. Scott Smith for Sammy

Its great to be alive March 8th, 2016. Today is a gift, it did Not have to be that way. Thank God that it is.

OK, let’s kick this day off with two Positive notions.

1. “Imagination is without boundaries. It cannot be contained.”  — Dr. Harp Seal —

2. “The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good Anyway.”  — Mother Teresa —

Day 421 here in Puerto Rico and day 111 since we rescued Rocky. Life is good. We do the best we can with what we have. See you tonight friends. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.

Tonight we pay tribute to Lucy on the one year Anniversary of her Passing

Posted on by Dr. Harp Seal

Tonight we remember a fallen Angel named Lucy

Good evening friends.

Tonight marks the one year Anniversary of Lucy’s passing. Lucy belonged to our great friend Marie Buschenko and family.  While this angel crossed the Rainbow Bridge one year ago, she is surely missed and never forgotten. Tonight we honor her life and the people’s lives she lifted while she was with us.

Because of Lucy the world is a better place today. We pay her tribute for her existence and making our lives better right here in the present.  What’s the value of that ?

Lucy was almost ten years old when she was almost sent to a kill shelter and miraculously was rescued by Marie and family. She passed 5 years later around 15 years old. During those 5 years that she was a member of the Buschenko family, Lucy felt love like never before. Despite those last 5 years of deteriorating health, which included going blind, Lucy had an Angelic smile and Aura about her. She had a smile from ear to ear that lit people up.

She touched countless lives and lifted the spirits of everyone she met. Lucy was nothing short of a living angel and the world was graced by her life. Her canine brother Charlie misses her a great deal. Lucy actually trained Charlie.

Lucy is gone but never forgotten. She lives on through Marie and family to this very day. Rest in Peace Lucy. We all meet again free of pain and forever young.

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.

Soothing words for Separation and Divorce

Soothing words for Separation and Divorce

Tonight’s topic is Separation and Divorce;

As time moves on I’ve been seeing more and more of my friends either separate or getting divorced. I would like to chime in here for anyone going through this right now.

I have been to that show a few times already. It can feel like your life is over and you will never be happy again. That is exactly how it felt for me.

Being “I made it through the rain” in the words of Barry Manilow, I want to share some comforting and practical thoughts with you.

Your life is not over, its in transition. Over 50 percent of marriages end in divorce, and those people moved on, right ? So what makes any of us think we can’t move on ? The answer to that is because when we are inside of a crisis, we can’t see our way out of the forest.

That is why it is critical to stay in touch with your family and friends who can see things objectively for you until your mental vision is restored.

Getting divorced is not the end, its just a delay. And when the delay is over, you get a new lease on life. Only this time, now that you weathered the storm, your life will exceed any expectations you used to have.

Welcome to a better life.

Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.

Monday is Looking up

Posted on by Dr. Harp Seal

Dr. Harp Seal on Monday March 7th, 2016

Good morning friends. Dr. Harp Seal here.

Let’s turn Monday into an acronym so it’s not so scary.  Here we go; “Magical Opportunities Nourish Diligently, abundantly and Yearningly”  — It’s hard not to smile when you hear the word “Magical” right?

Magic reminds me of the word “Imagination.

Albert Einstein said; “Logic will take you from point A, to point B. Imagination will take you everywhere”

I love that. Imagination has more science in it than we think.  When we are imagining, we are creating thoughts. And we know that we are what we think.

So let’s imagine a great Monday and ramp up the odds of actually having a great day.  After all, we are what we think just as much as we are what we eat.

Day 420 here in Puerto Rico. See you tonight friends, Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.

Tip for the Sunday Night Blues

Posted on by Dr. Harp Seal

March 6th, 2016. Time Marches on

Good evening friends.

We hope everyone had a nice weekend. Thank you life for today on March 6th, 2016.

Here’s good tip for the Sunday Night Blues. Nobody can control what Monday will throw at us. And knowing that frees us to accept whatever comes.

We’re are not supposed to know what tomorrow will be like, it hasn’t happened. I have trained myself to “Stay in the Day,” which has substantially increased the quality of my life.  I travel a with much lighter skip in my step knowing I can’t control anything but myself.

OK, now that we are feeling a little calmer from the Sunday Night Blues, lets kick the evening off with two positive notions

1. “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”  — Dr. Seuss —

2. “My life is Not comprised of memories, it’s comprised of living it. I will create New memories to speak of”   — Dr. Harp Seal —

Day 419 here in Puerto Rico.  Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
