THE TONGUE CAN BE YOUR WORST ENEMY!

Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to create conditions in your life.
What you speak about, you can bring about.

If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.
If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.
If you keep saying you can't stand your car , your car could be stolen or just stop operating.
If you keep saying you're broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.
If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will always find someone in your life
To hurt and betray you.
If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.
If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you, your very thought will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs.
If you keep talking about a divorce or break up in a relationship, then you might end up with it.

Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action.
Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.

Watch your Thoughts, they become words.
Watch your Words, they become actions.
Watch your Actions , they become habits.
Watch your Habits, they become character.
Watch your Character, for it becomes your Destiny.


The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settle for .
Though t I would share this with you.




In the search for Me, I discovered Truth.
In the search for Truth, I discovered Love.
In the search for Love, I discovered GOD.
And in God, I have found Everything .

There comes a point

There comes a point in your life when you realize: Who matters, Who never did, Who won't anymore... And who always will. So, don't worry about people from your past, There's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Rediscovering Bruce

One of my favorite songs ever.

Yes, yes...YES!!

After almost 3 weeks off, we are on day two
of the kiddo being back in school!!!!!!!!!

2010 is upon us

2009:
I turned into something I was not.
There was that ice storm.
My father in law passed away.

I had a couple of trips and got to meet some very wonderful people.

2010:
I continue to strive to be my very best. This
will never happen but I will try.

2010 is starting off cold as crap. I hope that changes, but if
it gets unusually warm then we have the risk of being blown to
uhm, the east coast by tornadoes, so a middle temp would be nice -
no below zero wind chills, no short weather. But I must remember
it all works out in the end, and for that I am thankful, but I'll
save that for a November post :)

Only the Cartwright's

If you are too young to remember this show perhaps you'd
be best skipping this post.

My television the past few months has been strictly limited
to old reruns ... Sanford and Son, Gunsmoke, Roseanne, The
Nanny, Bonanza......

Noticing things. More than once I actually toured the Bonanza
house at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, so it's interesting to watch the
show now since touring the house. Certain things are very
noticeable, certain things come to mind often:

*The gas fireplace. The show was set in the year, what,
the 1860's I believe? They didn't have gas fireplaces then.

*The electric light by the door. I don't think we are
supposed to notice this.

*As much power and as much wealth as the Cartwright's have,
they still cannot find a woman to marry. Judging from
Ben who was married and widowed 3 times over, and the
various girlfriends of the Cartwright boys who came to
a sudden and tragic death, I surmise it is bad luck to
fall in love with a Cartwright. Even in real life only
one 'Cartwright' is still alive...Pernell Roberts. Even
Hop Sing (the actor who portrayed him) met a tragic and
sad death.

*From touring the actual Cartwright house, I know there is
really no upstairs, or second floor to the home. All of
the bedroom scenes in the show were filmed in California.
So I can't help thinking this every time I see someone
come down those stairs.

*My grandfather, a horseman, used to watch the show and
tell you every time the Cartwright's changed from a
quarter horse to another kind of horse with the exact
same markings. One scene would show Little Joe galloping
away on his Quarter Horse..in the next scene he'd be
arriving at his destination on his Standardbred (or whatever).


Yep, the Cartwright's are an interesting bunch. Just
don't fall for them, or you'll die a tragic death! ;-)

Friends

Friends.
Most of us have them.
They come in good friends, best friends, acquaintances,
work friends, internet friends, casual friends, partying
friends, family friends.

What make a really good friend?

Time and trust for one thing. That's the obvious.

To me, a really good friend must have passed the
'tests'. I really don't know what the 'tests' are
until they happen, but I have them. Once I have
a really good friend I would save that friend from
drowning before myself, and they are stuck with me
for life :)

A test, a really true test of a good friend is
something, anything, to indicate they think you are
special, basically without them even knowing they
did - they just do it naturally like breathing.

A really good friend did just that recently - she
is planning on leaving her area for several months
later this year....I was planning on going OUT
to her area later this year. She asked me when
my trip was planned (it's not, waiting on an
airline schedule). Once I told her about what
month it would be when I was there, I asked her if
she was even going to be in the state - she replied
that she planned on leaving around that time, but
would decide after I decided when I was coming,
so she would definitely be there when I was there.
And I stress the casualness of the whole conversation,
not doing it to look good or to suck up, just a
fact that my trip out of the country will be
scheduled once you tell me when you are coming.

THAT is the sign of a true, lifelong friend.

Another sign is the friend that will get up to
do something for you when in reality they don't
have to. How to explain this - like you sit down
with the friend and comment, oh I forgot to get
some coffee. That friend jumps up and brings you
coffee. Do they have to? NO. Do they want to?
YES. No false pretenses, just being who they are.
OF COURSE we must be a good friend in return
for this to ever work. I'm speaking from a
one sided view only. Basically a true friend is
one that is not afraid to do some special little
things, to show they care and think you are special.

You find a true friend like mentioned above and
you do whatever it takes to keep them!! I have
several and I try very very hard to be a good friend
in return. I care and intend to stay friends till
the day I die!
