...snowed in, actually the snow turned to "thundersleet" now:)

This statement is Sooo true, I spent half my life being upset that things were not the way I thought they should be! Then I learned to let things be as they are, and try to accept and let go of the need to control...(notice I said "TRY").... ~borrowed from Delilah

from Joel Osteen Ministries If you keep focusing on your flaws, listening to what other people are saying, you can miss your destiny. Instead, remind yourself that you are valuable, you are equipped, you are anointed, you are approved!
Sometimes, the right words are better than any advice you could give! I know there are friends who NEED to hear this today.....{hugs} When people insult you, don't take offense, don't take it personally, but DO listen to their words. They are telling you how THEY see the world, they are telling you the exact negative qualities that THEY themselves possess. "The Law of Mirrors" states that one can really only see what is in them, regardless if it is what is actually present in reality or not. Release the need to try to defend or try to explain to them that your not being whatever nasty insult they have thrown at you, but evaluate instead all of these insults and realize that this is WHO they ARE. Then, decide if a person with those qualities are one you would like in your life or not. Walk towards the sunshine and leave the rain behind!

Just because I don't respond to your criticism doesn't mean I'm weak. It just means that your opinion of me doesn't phase me one bit.

like a bolt of lightning through the sunny skies

it's not going to bring me down
i'll continue holding us up, even if i have to do it alone

you know, sometimes through the toughest and darkest times
when we're having 'normal-times'
they seem all that much sweeter

keep fighting my hero,
and after a while, you'll realise you dun even need to fight

cus things will fall nicely into place

i close my eyes and pray.

Autumn signs...

Do you hear the song of nature? Go outside and listen. Unfortunately, I have more locusts than I'd like to hear at our house. What do you hear singing?

This is so funny, schools let out for under 1 inch of snow. Actually it should be called an "Ice Day"...

Flowers

Happy Rainy May Day!! I guess all those April showers did bring May flowers. My transplanted Iris in the front are blooming today!! The back had one bloom, a white Iris. In April I had many daffodils bloom, pretty yellow and green back yard. There are many planted in the front yard, but only the onions were ready, no flowers yet...

I think I will transplant my yard onions to a front flower bed, which one is the question...

Winter Storm of 2010

Wow, you wouldn't believe the ice and snow in Oklahoma!! And grey skies... It makes good black and white photos, just need to get out there and take some shots.

I really need to get a sled or two so I can take my kid sledding. We have a couple good hills around here, just haven't done it in a while. Can't seem to find a sled at the last minute,so I'll have to order one online and have it waiting for next year.

WE have been inside for 4 days today. Off work with this state of emergency. We did play with the dogs in the back yard a bit.

Snow ball fights with the dogs...

I really need to get some pics up here, so maybe that's what we will do today.

Helped my daughter get started on her book report. She keeps saying, "I have 2 months to do it, Mom." But the book was overdue Monday! She has to pay the library fine out of her own pocket this time. She still procrastinates...

I watched a lot of Americans win the grand slam finals and semis at the Australian Open ... Thank God for the Tennis Channel. Funny how American twin brothers won the doubles and the Williams sisters won the women's doubles for the US. Pretty cool, and Serena Williams won the women's championship, too. and Federer kept his title, too, for the men's final. good stuff.

thankful we didn't lose our power during this winter storm of ice and sleet and snow:)

Dominoes makes a change...

Domino's changed its pizza recipe. What do you think?? Is it better or worse?

Stir Crazy~Will a cooking B-day party work for middle-schooler?

My daughter is turning 12 and m\we found this game called Stir Crazy, a cooking party game. Do you think it will work to have 2 teams of 12 year olds, one head chef each, for an Italian theme? Or should I stray from the party game rules and let them each make their own pizza? Also, they are supposed to try a 1/2 portion of each dish and vote on the best dishes. Would you let them try a bite of each others pizza? There are 12 invitations and we think about 9 or 10 may attend.

competent and curvaceous??

Many women have forgotten how to access the eternal source of mystery that is our strength. Suspend disbelief for a brief moment and imagine that you could spend the day revealing and reveling in your natural birthright, your feminine powers--sensuality, sexuality, and sensitivity--as well as your intellignece, business sense, and cleverness. Yes, you can be both, competent and curvaceous...
It is the immemorial privilege of letter-writers to commit to paper things they would not say: to write in a more grandiose manner than that in which they speak; and to enlarge upon feelings which would be passed by unnoticed in conversation. --CS Lewis
