        10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling
        home everyday.
       
        11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be
        bent out of shape.
       
        12. The most important things in your house are the
        people.
       
        13 When we get tangled up in our problems, be still.
        God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
       
        14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
       
        15 He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
       
  

     
        Have a great day!!! The SON is shining and He
        can certainly use you!

Beginning Today...

Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the
past and the past will never change Only I can change by choosing to do so.

Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will
always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the
most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.

Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person
worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me is
someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to
know better.

Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life. I value this
gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift
with others. I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.

Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and
to revel in the mysteries I encounter. I will face challenges with
courage and determination. I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder
my quest for growth and self-improvement.

Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my
desire to succeed or my capacity to love.

Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before, I believe there is hope for a brighter and
better future.

Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new
experiences. I will meet new people. I will not expect perfection from
myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect
world.

Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do
things that make me happy...

I will put me first, for if I'm not happy I cannot make anyone else happy.

I will admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favorite music, soak in a bubble
bath...pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

Beginning today I will learn something new; I will try something
different; I will savor all various flavors life has to offer. I will change what
I can and the rest I will let go.I will strive to become the best me I
can possibly be.

Beginning today and ever day..

Pancakes
Current mood: drained

There are many things in the world I don't understand, one of them is why anyone would want bread for a meal. What is even more puzzling than the fact that people eat this fluffy bread is why you would put a sweet syrup on them! This wkd I was offered a free pancake breakfast complete with 5 pancakes, butter, 2 pieces of sausage, and syrup. My friend was given 8 tickets to this pancake breakfast that was being held at some government buiding with a bunch of old men doing the cooking. This event was as serious as they come. I walked in the door to find two men in wheelchairs taking up tickets giving you another ticket and scooting you along to 2 seperate lines, you had to choose: To Go or Dine In. We opted to take them to go so we were forced to walk by all of the men, women, and children wearing the ridiculous tacky christmas sweaters that had chosen to eat there. It was somewhat embarasing because I had to wear my sunglasses inside because of fake eyelashes that I had worn the night before that had infected my eyes. Well, one eye at the time but I'm now dealing with the other  eye being crusted over and swolen. Sorry if any of you have weak stomaches. Back to the pancakes.... As I return back to my friend's apt I hold in my hand many  boxes of a complete "pancake breakfast" and 6 mini cokes. Yes I said mini, they were actually squatty little mini cokes and sprites. Who knew they even sold these drinks this way? I hand out breakfast to everyone and Holly and I sit down together on the couch. At first we stare into our box and then we start as most of you do, to prepare our food. We line the pancakes up, put butter on top, pour the syrup, and get our amazing 2 sausage patties out of the way of the sticky syrup. I hope some of you can imagine this in your head as most of you from the south have been to one of these pancake breakfast things either at the local VFW or boyscout hut or even one at a church. My fasination with these pancakes came after I had eaten half of a single pancake. I came to the conclusion, that I didn't like pancakes. I don't like anything about them! I hate the way they taste plain with butter or syrup. I don't like the airy fluffy feel of them and they are just outright not any damn good. I turn to Holly to let her know what I am thinking and the first thing out of her mouth was the fact that she was reminded by this breakfast how much she didn't like pancakes either. We did in fact like our sausage. People I'm sure have different ideas on pancakes, but I wanted to share mine.

This is a picture of the machine that the men were using at the pancake breakfast I attended. The one they were using was red not silver though and it was about 3 feet tall and as big and round as a regular size dinner table. I wanted an example of this to show how serrious this was to these men:
