What's Happening?

It is amazing how fast time seems to be moving? I often think about the first day being introduced to blogging and now if I can keep my computer from acting crazy I will have master something new. I think I will kept my page up after this class and just see how thing go. It has been a great way to share how I feel about an issue and not really worry about getting a response. Sometime I just want to say how I feel without any feed back. Later for now!

It is amazing how modern technology has away of making a person believe that they had it so much better before. I computer crashed and I thought I would loose my mind. I did not try to learn the many different passcodes I just stored them on the system. But things always work out. I have really enjoyed learning this new fad called blogging and look forward to continuing after this class is over. I wish you all continued success, much success and a peaceful summer. Remember that life is short be sure to spend time with those you love. "Use things Not people!"

Life

My life has been full of many challenges, but life has been great. I had problems with my system and blogging. I hope to catch up to see what's going on with the group. I was busy over this past holiday, hanging out with family. Some time we don't have the opportunity to hang out as much. Death has again presented itself to my family, which really caused to reflect on my own life.
Remember to live life and reflect ofen.

It is amazing how time flies. I can't believe that it is March already. I must say that I enjoy reading the blogs. However I am not one to be on the computer all the time. Well let's see what we can discuss this week. CeleBrats Gone Wild! I love the world of forensics medicine, and court cases, however I do believe that I am about to be worn out with the nonsense. Anna Nicole Smith in all my years I wonder if it were not for the possibility of her estate would this be an issue. I know other drug addicts who have died, that left the parents and the parents were still responsible for the estrange child's burial. This is just sicken to me. Next, Brittany Spears or whatever her name is, and Paris Hilton it sadden me to think they are the future example of a young lady. It seems to me that wealth should raise your standard not lower them. I guess that America will soon have to stop laughing at this child like behavior and demand that celebrities grow up. Let me give you an example; I remember a child in my neighborhood, who was just learning to talk telling her mother "shut up." The parents and guest laughed and thought it was cute. I saw the child again at the age of 4 now telling any adult to "shut up," and hitting. I was so upset. I can remember telling the child, "NO-NO." And the child said "shut up" and hit me. My parental instincts kick in and I tapped the child's hand. The child hit me back a few time, but eventually started crying. I explained to the child that "shut up" was not a nice thing to say and that he should not hit adults. The child said, "Yes." Even today when I see that child he is very respectful to adults.

Could it be that these CeleBrats just need someone to correct them, early on from some of their destructive behaviour.

Valentine

I hope that everyone had a lovely Valentine Day. This season has been special for me as well. I attended a couple of dinners and spent a lovely evening home with my family. We cooked dinner together, set the table with china, played our favorite CD, lit a candle and celebrated how much we loved each other. It was a special day.

Silver Boxes

I wonder how many of us go through life thanking and praising our co-workers, classmates, and friends but often overlook the people who are in our very household. I must admit that I sometimes overlook my loved one that are under the same roof. When attending this conference recently one of the speakers talked about how she would often speak rudely to her son. Which only seemed to tear him down. I reviewed this practice in my family and realized that I would not speak negatively, however sometimes I would not say anything at all. Silver Boxes is about placing silver boxes in different rooms in your house as a reminder to say nice things to my family that will encourage them and not tear them down. If these are the most important people in our life, we should treat them as such.

Funny Huh

I recently wrote about the article that I liked most, which was "Go to the funeral". Over the weekend I received word that my Aunt died and I struggled with the question, If I would be able to go to the funeral? I wanted to attend, but I did not know if I would have transportation. My husband is a Minister and a couple was renewing their vows and I did not want to ruin their special day. Oh, did I tell you the Good News! I serve a God who is ABLE. The couple heard about the death of my Aunt and the scheduling conflict and decided to move their date up so that he could perform the ceremony and take the trip with me. So guess what I am going to the funeral, to support my loved ones.
