Came across this one today. We are so blessed to live in such a great community here on the Texas Gulf Coast and to have the privilege of being part of the history and legacy of our home and offices located in the W. C. Williams Building. We are just the latest caretakers of this iconic structure, which will live on for years after we are gone. #musicicons #musichistory #omegaliveproductions #williamsbuildingpalacios Omega Productions ...

W. C. Williams Building is feeling happy at W. C. Williams Building.

From a friend. This is so true. It’s a moment by moment decision. How full is your glass? #musicicons #MusicHistory #omegaliveproductions #williamsbuildingpalacios Omega ProductionsThis 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with her hair fashionably coiffed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home yesterday. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room .... just wait.”“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged, it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice;I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away, just for this time in my life.”She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account, you withdraw from what you’ve put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.”And with a smile, she said: “Remember the five simple rules to be happy:1. Free your heart from hatred.2. Free your mind from worries.3. Live simply.4. Give more.5. Expect less, & enjoy every moment.Photograph by Karsten Thormaehlen ... See MoreSee Less

Gardens anyone? We are visiting our son Clay who lives outside Nashville, with our Daughter Faith and her family, who live in Germany. Clay and his wife Kim have some serious gardens, growing much of their food. Here are some pictures of the layout. Many of you will recall Clay and his family were in a serious car accident on Easter Sunday, hit from behind at a stop light by a car traveling 71 mph. Notice the pictures of the car missing the last third seat area. Everyone sustained injuries especially the two youngest, Mabel Ann and Hartley. We thank the Lord they are slowly starting to walk again, as you can see from the pictures. We are so thankful we can get everyone together this summer. God Is so faithful and good to us all. #musicicons. #musichistory #omegaliveproductions Omega Productions ... See MoreSee Less
