I like to reflect on those beautiful memories that had such an influence on my life. The birth of my children, the moment I met the love of my life, even those significant moments when temporary failure suddenly became a victory after a determined struggle to win. These memories bring such contentment and delight that they sustain us during our difficult times. I believe God intended for these to be permanent, enduring recollections to keep us going, reminding us that all of life is not thorny - that roses bloom along the way. I have so many of these for which I will be eternally grateful.

I can't do anything about that but I can keep my eyes open and when I see a little bubble under the paint I can repair it immediately or wait another couple of years.

Does affiliate marketing ever make sense? Yes, provided both the affiliate and the merchant are selective. If you have a website about chocolate, being an affiliate of Godiva or even Hershey's would make sense. I might even click that affiliate link if your site had useful or entertaining information. If your site sells custom rocking horses (in the shape of cottontail rabbits) setting up an affiliate program for sites about children and children's toys would help sales.

Realize the bidders for Saturn could care less about the Vue, the Sky or any other GM vehicle. They want to tap into the proven way of gaining customers who would never darken a GM dealer's door. Furthermore, they will win over new customers besides those that already have shown disdain for stepping into a chevy truck models deal, no matter how good the commercials or the cars become.
