“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. (Took me a long time to come to this realization LOL)
And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.” Charles Swindoll American Author and Pastor
Glad you stopped by.. Right now my attitude concerning ice,snow,cold, etc. isn’t the greatest but my reaction is to go take a few photos and enjoy the natural beauty of the area…

One Last Thought:::
Attitude Adjustment
Mary received a parrot as a gift.
The parrot was fully grown with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was profanity; those that weren't profanity were, to say the least, rude. Mary tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite words and playing soft music, anything she could think of. Nothing worked. She yelled at the bird and the bird got worse. She shook the bird and the bird became even madder and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, Mary put the parrot in the freezer to get a minute of peace. For a few moments she heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming. Then, suddenly, there was absolute quiet. Mary was frightened that she might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Mary's extended arm. Perfectly calm, the parrot said, "I am very sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior, and I am sure it will never happen again." Mary was astounded at the changes in the bird's attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued, "May I ask what the chicken did?"

Our Neighbor here in Lancaster, Ohio. was returning home from work, a blonde,
she was shocked to find her house ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the radio, and a K-9 unit,
patrolling nearby, was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, then sat down on the steps. Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, 'I come home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send me a BLIND policeman...!!!
That’ all folks.. Have a great day…
Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) An American inventor.
A THATS MY WORLD TUESDAY POST. CLICK ON THIS LINK AND DISCOVER THE WORLD.
On our recent “wandering” road trip to FORT MYERS, FLORIDA Linda and I had the opportunity to tour the Edison/Ford winter estates. We started with a little chat with Mrs. Edison.
Now Mrs.. Edison reminded us that her husband was born in Milan,Ohio
so if you are ever in Ohio take the time to stop by his birthplace. Now for a quick picture tour of the estate:
Looks like a nice place to hangout with President Harding,Ford,Firestone, and others. A lot of work coming up with inventions. 
Back to the house:
Next stop office,workshop,and lab:
Edison was quite an angler and living right on the Caloosahatchee river in Fort Myers gave him many opportunities. In the photo below you can see the pier at his estate.
That is Linda lower right holding onto some Bamboo. I’ve heard it said Edison made his own poles and tackle. If you would like to read about an encounter Edison had with a shark CLICK. Edison also liked to do some camping.
I guess you dressed differently to go camping in the 1920s. Being the inventor he was maybe he came up with:
1929 Studebaker RV. You think I’m kidding well read the story HERE.
Ted R. is taking a break so Mr. Gecko from the estate says, “Thanks for stopping by.”
Also, did you know Thomas Edison has his own NATIONAL PARK.
Maybe next time Mr. Ford.
