* It's A Guy Thing


'It's a guy thing, Regardless of Species.'

* Two Wolves





















Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people. He said, 'My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith..'

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: 'Which wolf wins?'The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you feed.'

* In God We Trust


I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE,
WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

* Will You Dance With Me?


Sent to me by my friend Emily! Thanks Em.


Will You Dance With Me?
I know I posted this picture before... but I just simply adore it!

READ THIS VERY SLOWLY.... IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND.

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine. I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.


How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word 'refrigeration' mean nothing to you?


How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on television?


When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Roller blades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.


My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-Decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.


Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list.


Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

Do you run through each day on the fly?

When you ask ' How are you?' Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head?

Ever told your child, 'We'll do it tomorrow.' And in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die?

Just call to say 'Hi?

When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away..... Life is not a race


Take it slower.


Hear the music before the song is over. 'Life may not be the party we hoped for... but while we are here we might as well dance!

* As I Grow
















A thought given to me by my teacher friend.

As I Grow...
Please...
Understand that I am growing up and changing very fast. It must be difficult to keep pace with me, but please try.
Listen to me and give me brief, clear answers to my questions.
Then I will keep sharing my thoughts and feelings.
Reward me for telling the truth.
Then I am not frightened into lying.
Tell me when you make mistakes and what you learned from the.
Then I can accept that I am OK even when I blunder.
Pay attention to me, and spend time with me.
Then I can believe that I am important and worthwhile.
Do the things you want me to do.
Then I have a good, positive model.
Trust and respect me. Even though I am smaller than you, I have feelings and needs just like you.
Compliment and appreciate me. Then I'll feel good, and I'll want to continue to please you.
Help me explore my unique interest, talents and potential.
In order for me to be happy, I need to be me and not just someone you want me to be.
Be an individual and create your own happiness. Then you can teach me the smae, and I can live a happy, successful and fulfilling life.
Thank you for hearing me, I love you!
