Time to appreciate where you are

Sometimes I think we have become a society of instant gratification.
That we can't work towards what we want, it needs to be here NOW or we will just die!

We need to start looking around and appreciate where we are so that when we get to what we are working for we will APPRECIATE it.

We need to be able to see where we are going and not just get "plopped" in the middle of what we think we want or where we think we want to be.

When we stop and appreciate where we are or what we have, and I don't mean to be stagnant and not move forward, we really get to see what is happening within ourselves and in our immediate world.

Who knows, you could find another thing that you want that just may be another stepping stone for you and your family.

When you are feeling like you failed

I know when I am having a tough time and feel like so many things I have tried to do have failed, I really wonder why I do it.

I start to think that I can't do anything right, even though I have a lot of accomplishments in my life.

When I saw this one I thought it was just so true.
Sometimes I think that we are more successful when we don't give up and continue to get back up, no matter how many times we have fallen down.

So lets start judging ourselves (and the heck with what others think) by how many times we have gotten back up and tried again.

Are you with me?

One more of you too!

Sometimes I think we forget just how much we are needed and of course I am here to remind you.

So lets set out and make a difference because we are important to the world!  It's not just me that thinks so, even God is reminding you.

Burp Bread!

OMG I LOVE this.

I really like making bread.
But sometimes I just don't have the time to do everything that needs to be done when life is calling me to do other things.  I may be a mother, but somehow I lost my third arm when my kids became "adults" and it just never grew back.

I really love having yet another reason to have one of my Tupperware Thatsa Bowls, though I may try making this one with a fix n mix that I have "stashed" away because they don't show up in my Tupperware online store very often.

This one is really good (and of course easy) to use for rolls as well.  Fresh baked rolls for the holidays, and not out of a can!

August already?

I can't believe it is August already ....
WHERE is the summer going?

I guess with one more month of Summer left ... I better decide which it is.

How about you ... have you decided which one it is??
Which is it?

You decide

What kind of day are you having?

When I woke this morning I decided that mine was going to be a
Happy Day .

Because just face it ...

Life is too short to not be Happy!

So when you go to sleep tonight ... think Happy Thoughts.

When YOU get up tomorrow ... 
Decide that your day will be a Happy One!

Allow things to pass

Whether you know who Warren Buffett is or not, the man is pretty intelligent.  He is someone that we should at least listen to every now and then.

Although I've never been to one of his Stockholder's meetings, which I understand are pretty awesome, he is more than just an investment wonder.

Yes he has made a ton of money for himself and those who invest with him but he is pretty down to Earth.

When I saw this statement I was pretty blown away because it felt like it was something that was directed at me.

Yes I know that does sound a little egotistical because well lets face it he wouldn't know me from Adam.  But the words hit me because I know there are times that I do act emotionally when things are said to me or I hear them said about me or those with me.

I have to work on this and keep telling myself to look at things objectively and logically and not just react.
Keep my restraint and to keep breathing.

Oh and to let things pass
