It is an absolutely beautiful day. The sun is shining and I hear birds singing. There is a little breeze blowing and the temperature is probably in the low 70’s. I can see some fabulous flowers blooming from my window. Who could ask for anything more! Oh, I am so very grateful that my husband and I each have work …
No Free Government Handouts
I have recently been chatting online with a very inspiring woman who wrote to me the following sentences in her second post – “We’ve got to bring love & joy to this life, and pass it on to others! All we can do is encourage others with positive ness – we ARE Survivors, and now we need to be there …
Happy Easter
I have always enjoyed the celebration of Easter. I understand and appreciate the religious significance and have always felt very spiritual on this day. I am sorry that many of the other traditions associated with the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ have gone by the wayside in recent years. But I do enjoy the fun of the Easter …
MySpace Friends
I had an entirely different subject picked out for my musings today but having just completed a number of interactions with some of MySpace “friends”, I have decided to go in a different direction. I have made a connection with so many wonderful, strong, caring and sharing new people there that I just have to share. The last place that …
Walk the Walk
What is going on with so many people today who say they are going to do something and then they don’t?

Was she just that dumb, stupid, crazy, etc.? Many people think so and everyone has lots of advice to give but unless you have …
Thinking
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.793190&w=200&h=200&fv=] I love to think. I love the satisfaction that I get when I think through something and come up with a great solution or a better way to do something. I love to think about the topic that I will choose each week for my blog. I can go on and on but I have recently discovered that …
Taking Responsibility For My Actions
I have a theory. If each one of us took the time to consider the consequences of our actions before we said or did something, we could create a really happy life for ourselves. I came to this conclusion recently as I contemplated how to best handle a rather sticky situation with which I am currently dealing. Quickly stated, I …
Enjoy A Vacation
In case you are not aware, the American worker puts in more hours on the job each week than the employees of any other country. And if you are fortunate enough to have been able to retain your job in this current financial situation, then you are probably like so many others who are afraid to take vacation time even …
