Living vs Surviving

I just keep saying to myself (and my kids but they won't admit it) that no matter how bad things are, no matter how difficult things can get on any given day ....... you are alive and you have the chance to change things ...... and lets face it - it beats the alternative.

Think about it.

It's not that life if too short
It's that death is just too damn long!

Believe in YOURSELF

There are some days that I just do not believe that I can accomplish anything ........ today was one of those days.  Nothing seemed to work out and nothing seemed to get done.

Maybe if there were 39 hours in a day .............  But I do know that tomorrow is a new day - tomorrow I will get things done, because I found this little quote that will be my new mantra

How about you ........ you want to take this to heart as well?

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2012!

So what are you doing on this St Patrick's Day?  Planning on being part of or watching the Parade?  Are you going to be looking for leprechauns?  I mean wouldn't you like to find his pot of gold?

If you don't have anything planned, like me, except working since it is still tax season, lets decide right now to come up with something "different" for the next St Patrick's Day.  To help you plan, here are the days for the next 4 St Patrick's Days so we can start planning now .........

Sunday	March 17	2013
Monday	March 17	2014
Tuesday	March 17	2015
Thursday	March 17	2016

for the next years.  And then just maybe we can have our parties be the "talk of the town"  ........ but we do have to start planning right now -  shall we?


Don't forget to checkout (and enter of course) my current giveaways ....... they are pretty awesome with some great bloggers.  Don't miss out.

Truly Succeed

Another one of those things that I need to start taking more to heart. 

There are times that no matter what I do or how I do it I feel like I'm a failure.  Someone can always do it better or faster or cleaner than I can.  And I know that will always happen  -  lets face it I'm NOT perfect.  I sometimes wish I was ......... but I'm not.

But just because I'm not doesn't mean I don't succeed.


Don't forget the "Are you feeling Lucky" giveaway ..... HUGE group of bloggers are in on this one - so check it out (link on top of this blog) to my giveaway and the others.  I'm sure you will find some awesome prizes on this one.

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;  



 

 

May the hand of a friend always be near you; 
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you..

March Madness

Just in case you are in March Madness OVERLOAD .........

Did you REMEMBER

Good morning!

Did you remember to "spring ahead" last night?  My poor daughter had to be at work this morning at 6:30 .........  to say she was not a "happy" camper is an understatement.  Her body was protesting when she was up at what it thought was 5 AM.  But being the wonderful mommy I am, the coffee was waiting for her, to take with as she was walking out the door.

If you forgot to change your clocks ............ it's       6:45   AM   right now so GOOD morning!  Now fix your clocks, I'll wait for you to come back.

But tell me what you think of this "Day Light Savings" plan.  I really wish they would just pick one time ....... Daylight Savings or not ........ and lets just stay with it.  They have all these studies about how "dangerous" it is for at least the first 2 or 3 days AFTER we change the clocks as our bodies get use to what is going on.  It takes MORE THAN a week to make up for this 1 hour of "lost" sleep.

But then I really don't see the point of changing the time.  So I get an "extra" hour of daylight ..... I still have to turn on the lights in the morning since I don't get to get up an hour later.  It's 6:54 AM right now and the kitchen light is on (need to find the coffee dontcha know) and the outside light is on (its one of those auto on when its dark type) ......... so what did I save?

Everything Has a REASON

I love this one.  Sometimes we all get into one of those modes that keeps the "whoo is me" going  (I know it happens to me and we aren't that different).  I think this one is going to be "blown up" and put on the wall to remind me that whether I can see the reason or not there IS a reason for everything that happens.

Sometimes things we want need to NOT happen so that something even better CAN happen.  See everything happens for a reason.
