     Hi Friends, I hope all who celebrated had a wonderful holiday season this year. I spent most of my time with family, friends and loved ones. For Christmas eve, we celebrated at my parents home. It was priceless watching my little nephew as he opened his gifts..his eyes would open wide with every present he opened. He also knows the TRUE meaning of celebrating this holiday and I personally think that is way more important than ANYTHING else. On Christmas day the family celebrated at my aunt's estate in the countryside. It was very nice to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. The food was great also too lol. Then on December 26th (yesterday) at 5:00a.m. I had to have yet another urology surgery, so yes I am still in recovery mode and still in a lot of physical pain. I woke this morning feeling horrible as expected, finally was able to make it to the kitchen for some coffee. I had a lot of work to do today.....most was for the radio show and other works that I will announce soon. I did however get another audition notice today for a stage production that is approx;10-15 shows per week for 10 weeks IF I get the part. I am unable to audition tomorrow due to surgery recovery and prepping for the last radio show of 2013. The casting director is kindly working around my schedule so that I may audition. That is not normal of a casting director, so I am very thankful that this particular one is ever so gracious to me. She is also one of the top casting directors in the mid-west. Moving on.....earlier today as I was preparing my script for the Saturday Night Ride radio show uncut, (internet version of the show) on spreaker.com and SOON iHeartRadio....so I was at the end of prepping getting ready to broadcast and then I got a call from a family member letting me know that one of my 22 year old cousins had Died last night......needless to say this shook me to my core....yet another reality reminder of what is truly important in life and how much WE ALL need to appreciate each day we are allowed to live... it really made me wonder if this would WAKE other people of ALL AGES up to appreciating their lives, or will they stay the same way, ungrateful and unappreciate life. All of us has to make some clear decisions about who we are and what we want in this life. As well, consider there is always a certain amount of time wasted each day that could be used for positive fruitful activities of meaning. So, what is it that crops up in life that bothers me? The issue of not living for today, comes from wishing things were different, and hoping that the next pinnacle, milestone, or material possession will create the happiness so longed for.

The big problem with this kind of thinking and attitude is one that expresses dissatisfaction/being unhappy of where you are now; in other words, having an attitude that is more about being dissatisfied than being satisfied. It means that this type of person cannot appreciate the moment; cannot find value or appreciate where they are today; and, cannot be happy living with what they have today. Instead they wish that everything change right now so they can have what they want, when they want it, without having to wait, work, or sacrifice. Most americans that I know want a "microwave" life, they want it quick no matter what precious energy they may lose.

Maybe, for those  parents in this new age, have spoiled the children too much? I asked myself... Maybe we have given them all those things that we didn't get as children and in doing so have gone too far? Part of the reason for this self-serving attitude may be our fault through our material expression of love. There are adults that have the same attitude not just kids.

One of the things that I see to be lost with people or those who seek to live tomorrow instead of today, is that each day is precious. Each day can be full of new delights, new beginnings, new fun, new experiences, new challenges, and new opportunities etc.

We ALL have only one day at a time to live. There is only a certain amount of time in each day and it is up to YOU to do with it the best you can. The worst we can do is to waste it by wishing and hoping for things in the future and thinking that this wishful future will be able to make us whole and happy. The real happiness of life is how you see and use each day I think anyway, not what you think will be beyond today. This is not to say that we shouldn't have aspirations for future goals. What I am saying, though, is that EVERYONE needsto value each day and each other for what it offers, for what it gives you and to stop wishing/wasting your life away. There are thousands upon thousands of people who wish they could go back in time to do just what you can do now if only you see the real picture. My HOPE for you is that by reading this little blog it will remind you or make YOU start to appreciate each day good and bad,I know easier said than done, but atleast TRY. I know friends this blog isn't super interesting but it's my blog and this is what's on my mind and heart to share with you all. I have noticed YOU ALL; meaning my readers....I started this BLOGSPOT with just one maybe a few blogs way back in Feb. 2011 or 2012(dont remember lol) I started blogging full force in march 2013 and since then I have watched the number of readers skyrocket...more than I ever ever anticipated. Whats even more interesting is the wide array of locations in which YOU all are reading from. I not only have readers here in America, but well over 20 other nations and even in other languages. As of now I have readers in Russia, China, Malaysia, South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, Japan, Indonesia, Israel, Qatar, South Korea and many more. These are just a few that have large numbers of readers. I believe I have close to 4000 readers already yet ONLY 13 official followers lol, I think a big part of that is People want to just simply read and enjoy NOT go through making an account and such just to click "follow" and that is OK with me friends.

           Hi Friends, I hope and Pray all is well with each of you readers. Here in my region it has been bitterly cold, with the exception of today.  Today the weather was nice I believe it was around 60degrees with some sunshine. This entire past few weeks have been beyond hectic on me...I have had many doctor appointments, sessions, meetings, an audition for an independent film, the radio show, and finally today was my last doctors appointment. I will be having a urology surgery on the 26th of dec. 2013 YES in just 6 days and its the morning after christmas! It does highly irritate me but I shall remain positive and be glad to get the surgery and recovery over. So ALL of you that pray...I would appreciate any and all prayers for this. Moving on...I have 2 more radio show episodes to host for this ending year, in 2014 I anticipate much positive and creative change to the show as it moves into the tenth season. Seasons are basically/usually 4-6 mnths. However some seasons have been a year, some have been short. It depends on many factors, this is the 10th year that THE SATURDAY NIGHT RIDE RADIO SHOW has existed. Before the show I hosted "The Kelly O' Telly Show" with a good friend and former co-host and creative film partner. We are still friends, just have some creative differences for radio, he doesn't like talk formatted show but I do and that is what works best for the show, the affiliate station and the fans. So here we are a radio talk show, this week is our X-Mas Show produced by one of our new co-hosts, Roxanne Bare, Tune IN this coming Saturday  dec. the 21st at 7:00p.m.CST.  YOU CAN TUNE IN by simple ways. Such as if you are local turn your radio dial to 89.5FM, for our International listeners YOU ALL can go to our affiliate stations website and click on LISTEN LIVE just go to www.wgrn.net Also friends if you have the TUNEINRADIO APP on your phones just search wgrn and tune in at 7:00P.M. Saturday nights Central Time. Starting  in January 2014 there are changes coming to the radio show, we will be having yet another co-host joining us on monthly basis. He is Mr.Jes Adam, Jes is the owner of a Coffee and Music House, he also is a vocalist, musician, and artist. We(the cast&crew) at the Radio Show think that Mr. Adam will be a perfect fit for THE SATURDAY NIGHT RIDE RADIO SHOW. Now moving on once again lol...I will be glad when sunday arrives...that seems to be the only day of the week I actually get most of the day to myself and can relax. For the most part I have a very busy and crazy schedule each week due to ALL the different works and such I do each week. My blog topic for today is about appreciation, It should be about appreciation and gratitude but anyway my reason for this topic is because I see too much and too many good people being totally unappreciated and even took for granted. Doing this negative to people is harmful to the people that go unappreciated and to the folks that do it. So hopefully this blog helps at least someone in this selfish world we live in.Lets look at appreciation as a "magic tool" as if we all are our very own magicians lol sounds nuts but here it is anyway.....Appreciation, is one of the best magic tools we have. One of the best ways to measure where you are at in your development as a wonderful magician, is how well you use appreciation. Most people that operate at a lower level of thinking usually believe that appreciation is a spontaneous event or feeling that simply "happens" from time to time or happen to feel a small amount of gratitude.. possibly they realize it when it comes over them. Maybe they feel lucky who knows really..... But most of the time, they hardly notice when a warm person helps/assists them. Appreciation is really a passing thought to most. By failing to even acknowledge the magic of appreciation mere sheep stay just that, mere ignorant sheep. Now Lets step it up a notch, and you have the awakened former sheep folks, that have learned the value of appreciation and seek it out and use it. They realize that appreciation is actually a positive and powerful and look for opportunities to cultivate it or bask in its warmth and kindness; then they may hopefully chase appreciation around. These more enlightened folks know that everything looks lovelier and beautiful in their own ways.In the light of appreciation,look at it kind of like faces can look more beautiful by candle light. Make sense? However,  I believe a true master of their own experience/power already knows that appreciation is a magical tool that can be harnessed and directed at will as long as they use it in a positive manner. One can feel appreciation anytime they want by thinking and meditating on happy experiences and raise their vibrations/increase positive moods.I even think one can change the feeling in a room of people by bathing the room in positive, gratitude, and appreciation energy/intent. One can take any situation they want to change or transform and magically turn it around with appreciation and most importantly intent. I believe Intention is everything....Here's an easy example...hopefully lol..

"Sue" and her husband are having a lot  marriage problems. They had only been married about a year. What had been a blissful and wonderful courtship had turned into a cold, bitter, and emotionally abusive  marriage in what seemed like record time. The day to day chaos of life had taken "sue" by surprise. However, when she finally woke up to what was happening, she knew immediately, as a  warm genuine magician what she needed to do. She went on a full campaign of appreciation for her husband "Larry". She appreciated the hell out of him all the time, so much he almost became irritated with it lol.... She told him about it as often as she could. More importantly she thought about all the things she appreciated about him with an obsession. I was talking to her a few days ago and she broke out a list of things that she appreciated about him that she carried with her everywhere in her purse. Since she had begun her campaign of appreciation three weeks ago, she reported that her marriage was night and day. She felt like the honeymoon was finally back. "Sue" was seeing changes in "Larry" that she didn't even anticipate happening and also learning new things to appreciate about him everyday.

We are  have the ability to show true appreciation friends so show it to those people that deserve it as well as appreciate yourselves. Remember, when we put appreciation to the test Appreciation used as a tool and not just a random passing feeling can turn a lot in your life around and always for the better. Put it to the test for yourself and see what miracles you can conjure up for yourself friends! THANK YOU ALL FOR READING!

CAN YOU DEFINE APPRECIATION? SEPT. 10TH 2013

                                                        APPRECIATE

Hello Friends, It's bright and early this sept. morning...hot coffee on, sun peeking out and a nice morning breeze coming through the windows..it's the little things and moments that I appreciate. Most mornings that I wake up in pain, I STILL appreciate waking up alive with breathe in my lungs. Nowadays it seems people in general do not appreciate life or even others for that matter. Do something nice for someone and at least half the time the person looks at you like your crazy. Being Nice and appreciating others doesn't seem to be a thing of today and that's really bothersome. So my blog topic today is about APPRECIATION

          Maybe you're already in a position where you are absolutely satisfied with your life. That is a wonderful position to be in. Maybe you're not satisfied & you feel that life has cheated you or that maybe even looked over you. That's okay for now but what you may not realize is that before life can deal you a better hand you must first appreciate what you already have.

Here is what I mean:

o Be thankful that you have a roof over your head.

o If you have a job - be thankful that you are currently employed.

o If you have a business - be thankful that you are your own boss.

o If you have been blessed with children - be thankful for that you were able to have them.

o Be thankful for what the food that you get to eat every day.

o If you're in a relationship appreciate your partner's good qualities & be thankful for that.

o Be thankful just for being alive.

Be Thankful for others that do NICE things for you

It doesn't matter how bad you think life is right now because there are many people who would gladly step into your shoes at any given time. No matter how little you think you have there is always someone somewhere who has a lot less and a lot worse. If you disagree with me no big deal, but why not try this appreciation thing out for 3 days Myself is trying the same little 3 day test so to speak. For the next I challenge YOU for 3 days, appreciate all that you have. Look around where ever you might be & acknowledge your position in life.Look at all the beauty that nature provides you, the wind, the sun, the moon, the stars at night and so much more... Then when ever you look at what you have say thank God for the abundant blessings that I do have. If you can keep this kind of mindset going for the next 3 days you will most likely start to see some kind of sign or change of better things to come. If you have already been appreciating everything in your life for some time, give yourself a hug. You don't have to believe a word I say but don't knock it until you try it.... what if it works? Well my friends moving on...one thing out of a million that motivated me to write this blog was a recent fundraiser benefit for MS/Multiple Sclerosis. I hosted/ Emceed the event and realized even more that I too personally need to appreciate LIFE in general more. We only have one chance, one life, APPRECIATE WHAT YOU GOT. Thank you for stopping by friends, feel free to follow, comment, share, etc.                                                       Truly, Dennis Kelly

STRESS ANYONE?? :-)

                     THE DENNIS KELLY CENTER

Hello Friends! World wide..I say world wide because my insights show what nations my readers are reading from. I must say I am deeply thankful for all the nations that take the time to read my personal blogs. Special thanks just to name a few are the U.S., Russia, Germany, Kenya, Uganda, Slovakia, France, and quite a bit more. For those I have not named I still appreciate YOU ALL equally. So Lately in the Life of ME, On this past tuesday about 4 days ago I under went another Surgery that had to do with the urology system. I am now at home recovering. The surgery was a bit tough this time around but nevertheless GOD willing I made it through. Now...the recovery process is the hardest to me. But I am recovering very well and I am thankful for that. The more rest and time I take for myself, the faster I notice I heal. Also reducing STRESS which is actually the TOPIC of this blog. I wanted to blog about STRESS because every human can relate to it one way or another. AS most of you know it's well known stress is a killer and can cause sooo much unneeded crap. Have you ever been completely stressed about something? I mean, worried beyond repair about a situation or a decision you have to make. I've been there before many times and, let me tell you, it is not a pretty thing. I still deal with daily high levels of stress due to personal life, work life, family, society, and all kinds of triggers. Sometimes occasionally I feel stress is actually killing me. But I have learned several ways to help calm, and collect during overwhelming stressful moments. Deep breathing helps to calm, but personally I have found YOGA, talking to loved ones and friends. Or just sometimes taking a walk in the forest...nature is provides great therapy. I won't go into ALL my Stressors in this blog because now is not the time but perhaps someday I will spill it lol. We all know Stress has a sneaky way of taking over your thoughts and your body and Your LIFE for that matter. Just to give you a brief overview of what I have learned and studied about stress is  the physiological changes you experience when you are stressed out, you can have such physical reactions as elevated heart rate, low energy, headaches, upset stomach, rapid heart beat, insomnia, depression,  and a whole slew of other nasty little problems. But, I'm sure you already know that. Given the fact that 85% of all adult Americans are walking around in a stressed-out state, we are very familiar with the effects of stress, whether we realize it or not want to admit it. So what are we to do about it? What are our options? Some things, like environmental factors are beyond our control. And if these things are part of your triggers for stress, you can do very little about them. But then there are other things that we can do something about, such as finances, children, work, etc. You just have to know how to separate the two categories and act accordingly. If things fall into the "out of my control" category, then you take a deep breath, and plan as best you can and then you let it go. If you truly can't do anything about it, then there is absolutely no reason for you to place your body in a stressful situation. A lot of our stressors fall into this category and yet we still want to continue to worry about them. This is a mistake on our part because helplessness combined with stress leaves you feeling utterly hopeless. Trust me I would be the FIRST to know lol...If your stressors fall into the other category, meaning you can do something about them, then it is always better to attack the problem head on I personally feel. You feel empowered the more you attack the issue(s) (i do anyway) versus shrinking back from it and hiding or masking it with an addicition of sorts. Have you noticed how much more confident and better you feel when you finally do that THING you've been putting off forever because it stressed you out? This same feeling can happen with most, if not all of our stressors as long as you don't give rise to the procrastination issue. Procrastination and apathy has caused more people to be stressed out than any other action from what I have seen and went through. I have seen evidence of this in my own life countless times. I think trying our BEST to be and think positive about EVERY situation is a key also even though it is easier said than done, it is possible. I personally think if we ALL  Decide once and for all to stop procrastinating and to get things done. Even if you/we don't have it all figured out at the moment at hand, begin to act on what you do know and what you do know how to do. Because when you begin to attack that portion of the project or decision, we may eventually get the ANSWERS  that will begin to develop along the way and change our lives for the better. Sometimes the best way to get over stress is to just act. I know that Life will always have stressors...BUT it does NOT mean WE should or have to live in a total state of stress or even become so overwhelmed with it to the point of actual harm to our lives. If you find that dealing with your stress is getting the best of you and you want some additional help in that area, I'd recommend the use of essential oils, herbs, Vitamins and EVERYTHING natural. They are non-habit forming, non-addictive, and they can be used in conjunction with any other medical treatments you may be having. My recommendation is to get your stuff from www.terramaterbotanicals.com They have the best and accomidate the customers needs the best they can. Well my Friends I hope that this little tid bid or ramble lol...helped some. I hate knowing or seeing ANYONE suffer from anything especially so much stress. Thank YOU for stopping by my blog and FEEL FREE TO SHARE, COMMENT BECAUSE I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU....YOU CAN ALSO BECOME A FOLLOWER, IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 2 MINUTES TO SIGN UP AND THATS IT SO IF YOU HAVE THE TIME BECOME A FOLLOWER OF MINE. Some side notes below Is a photo of Donna Douglas and I just days before surgery at a Public event I broadcasted from. She is best known for her role as Elly Mae Clampett from the Hit sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies. Donna Douglas was very sweet and gracious, she seemed to be a very genuine woman. The Event was The Graffiti Car Show...It was hot and lots of people but I enjoyed it. It is the little things in life that make up the BIG things. I also had a chance to Record a few local musicians playing their original song titled "Elly Mae" and they actually got a chance to sing it to her. I recorded it at the Owl Creek Gazette Office on south second st. in downtown Greenville,Il  If you would like to catch that episode where I broadcasted from the event you can catch it on our friend radio show "Creekside w/Don&Jan" It airs every Sunday evening at 7:00p.m. central time on podomatic. You can go to their website www.owlcreekgazette.com and listen to the episode or download. The Great folks from the Creekside show was kind enough to play parts of the broadcast on their show this on episode 20. So the broadcast aired Saturday Night on my radio show and then again on sunday night's episode on "Creekside w/Don&Jan". Well my friends until next time feel free to comment like I said before or if you want to comment private feel free to shoot me an email at: mr.denniskelly@gmail.com
