I read a story where a little girl was eating her breakfast one morning when she saw a ray of sunshine come through the clouds and reflected off the spoon in her cereal bowl. She put the spoon in her mouth immediately, and with a big smile she said to her Mother, “I just swallowed a spoonful of sunshine!” When I think about this little girl getting excited about swallowing a spoonful of sunshine, I feel a spark within me. I’d can just imagine for a moment,that a spoonful of sunshine could be some of the best soul food one could have in a day. Doctors say that LAUGHTER is sometimes the BEST MEDICINE! A good, hearty laugh extends the chest and makes the blood flow. It does one good to laugh. It takes away from feeling down and out, and laughter is contagious. It’s like a domino effect throughout a household. A good, hearty laugh is like a sweet harmony, like beautiful music. We all could use more laughter in our lives. QUOTE: IF YOU ARE ON THE GLOOMY LINE, THE WORRY TRAIN, OR THE GROUCHY TRACK, GET A TRANSFER! IT’S TIME TO CLIMB ABOARD THE SUNSHINE TRAIN AND SIT IN ONE OF ITS CHEERFUL CARS! Proverbs 15:13 tells us that…A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. Don’t let anything crush your spirit, or let anyone steal your joy! No matter what we are going through, there is always, ALWAYS something to smile about.

Hello! My name is Karen Price, and I'm a little late to the party. My husband Darrell and I will celebrate our 50th Anniversary this Friday, August 14th. He is the love of my life, and I feel so blessed God brought us together some 56 years ago. I like making my own Greeting Cards, writing poetry, and I like to read. I love the Lord, and I love sharing Him with others.
God Blessed us with two sons. Jason, our Marine, is no longer married, yet he seems to be happy, enjoying life as it is. He and Darrell work together in their Remodeling Business. He's pretty much a homebody, but an awesome young man.
Brandon and Christy live in Tulare, CA. They just celebrated their 25th Anniversary on August 5th. Brandon coaches Boys Varsity Water Polo and teaches High School English. He's also an Associate Pastor at First Baptist Church there in Tulare. Christy teaches as a Librarian in one of the Middle Schools. They have our only three Grandchildren.
Mackenzie is 20, and she is starting third year at California State University, Monterey Bay. She lives in Pacific Grove, CA. She gets to wake up to the most beautiful sunrises, and ends her day with the most awesome sunsets, there on the ocean. She works at the college, and has a little job at a Pizza Cafe. She works hard to help pay her way through school. She also teaches middle school teens at her church. She played Water Polo, give Swim Lessons in the Summer, a very active young lady.
Kelsey is 17, and she will be starting her Senior year next week from home.
She plays Water Polo, runs track, but her favorite sport is Soccer, and she's good at it. She is also an artist. She has drawn some awesome artwork. She plans to attend college in Arizona next year, just not quite sure yet.
Jacob is 14, and begins this year as a Freshman. He plays Basketball, Soccer, but Baseball is his favorite sport. He is going to try his luck at Water Polo, that is if they get to do sports at all. CA is still pretty much shut down because of this Covid Virus. All three of them are pretty good kiddos. They all love the Lord! They enjoy going Surfing, Camping, fishing, almost anything that has to do with the outdoors. They also enjoy being with their Family and Friends.
We always wanted a girl, but God had a plan for us to have boys. However, He blessed us with a young lady who we call our adopted daughter. Dana Jones is an awesome young lady that we have grown to love as our very own, as well as her sweet Family. We are blessed that her Mom and Dad share her with us. I am very grateful that she's invited me to share "Love You Strong" with all of you. I've enjoyed reading your stories and poetry, and I look forward for what lies ahead.

YES!!!! We always need to remember this. We need to try to take in a spoon full of sunshine daily!! You and I have spoken so many times of not letting anyone steal our joy. I appreciate that reminder today!! LYS Momma Karen!!!
Thanks for this reminder. Gratitude is a primary ingredient of a happy heart. I find that even on my hardest days, I can find something to be grateful for. I think of that thing and imagine my breath flowing in and out of my heart center, and it helps to shift my mood. I love the “spoonful of sunshine” analogy!
