My Life...Right Now. (Story Time)

Life's Blessings Are Found In Our Day By Day I often find myself harping and nagging at my kids to "pick up" their stuff!  PICK IT UP!  I am raising the future MEN of this world.  And even though I am a Mama and wife who tries to do it all for my kids and husband to make their lives easier, I find myself realizing whoever marries my sons will not appreciate them being so spoiled.  I mean, a man and/or a woman should be able to take care of themselves on their own.  Being domesticated is one of the most important things in life...it's being free of relying on anyone else for your everyday needs.  Plus, the last time I checked my name wasn't Cinderella.  I don't own ball gowns, I don't have a fairy-god mother, I don't wear glass slippers.  However, I do wear old worn clothes and scrub floors (literally).  I need them to be able to stand on their own two feet and survive in this world.  My way of thinking is to get them trained and t...

Recently, while watching the local news, I saw a clip about women who were battling cancer in the North Dallas area.  Of course that grabbed my attention.  Anyone who has any sort of battle, I am pulled towards.

PRECIOUS TIME King Henry VIII : [ Opening lines ] In these last days I’ve been thinking a great deal about loss. What loss, your grace, is to man most irrecoverable? Charles Brandon : His virtue. King Henry VIII : No, for by his actions, he may redeem his virtue. Charles Brandon : Then, his honor. King Henry VIII : No, for again he may find the means to recover it, even as a man recovers some fortune he has lost. Charles Brandon : Then I can’t say, Your Majesty. King Henry VIII : Time, your grace. Of all losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed.   Do you ever have the feeling that you are being prepared for something (both good and bad)?  I do!  I get into these moods where I find myself pondering about things...precious things, like time.  I love those moments because I see things in a new light.  I find a new appreciation for all things.  My husband, my children, family, friends, birds, trees, freedom, air, my li...
