If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when will you have time to do it over?
God help us to be more concerned witha high standard of life than with a high standard of living
Gather the crumbs of happiness and they will make you a loaf of contentment.

Quotes
The elevator to success is out of order=== you'lll have to use the stairs-- one step at a time.
When there is work for me to do the sooner started, the sooner through.
Your time is the most important thing you will ever spend, for it is your life.
Don't constantly live in the future. Live each day and partake of it.

Happiness is a by- product of helping others.
It is what we do after we think we've done enough that really counts
We grow stronger as we climb our own mountains.
Don't Talk about what you have done or what you are going to do. Do it and let it speak for itself
No man is free who is not master of himself
I am not afraid of tommorrow. For I have seen yesterday and I have today.
We who have no time for our health today may have no health for our time tomorrow.
It takes far more out of you to worry about a thing than it does to actually do it.

Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!
Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' .....Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!
I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!

Joy is not in things, it is in us.
We tell them better than we show them, but, he teaches well that lives well.
You are what you think--you can do anything if you think you can. You can accomplish any task, if you want to.

Quotes
Peace comes not from the absence of conflict in life but from the ability to cope with it.
He who is afraid to ask is afraid to learn.
Trying to squash a rumor is like trying to un-ring a bell.
Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing.
Life itself can't give you joy, unless you really will it. Life just gives you time and space- It's up to you to fill it.
Circumstances are beyond the control of man; but his conduct is in his own power.

Quotes
The only reason that anyone would ever hate you, Is because they want to be just like you.
A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they do not like you.
Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you. You mean the world to someone.
You are special and unique. Someone you don’t even know-loves you.
When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
When you think the World has turned it’s back on you… take another look.
Always remember the compliments that you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
Always remember… When life hands you a lemon- always ask for sugar!
Good friends are like stars, you don’t always see t hem- but you know they are there.
I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a Friend while I am here- than a whole truckload when I am gone.
Happiness keeps you sweet, Trials keep you strong. Sorrows keep you human. Life keeps you humble.
Success keeps you glowing, But, only friends keep you going.

Quote of the Day.
If you talk about your troubles and repeat them ore and ore, the Lord might think you like them and even give you more.
It matters not if you try and fail, and fail and try again. But it matters much if you try and fail and fail to try again.
If you have a special problem consult someone who has a special knowledge about it-and do it on your knees.
The smallest deed is better than the grandest intention.
"Success" Comes before "work" only in the dictionary.
When you like yourself, you are n the presence of a friend 24 hours a day.
The man who holds the ladder firmly at the bottom, is as important as the man at the top.
An ungrateful man is like a hog eating apples under a tree-never looking up to see where they come from.
When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.
The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.

Spring
I walked out my front door today and to my surprise found a daffodil in bloom and a Hyacinthe. I was driving and also found a apracot tree in bloom. I love spring. I was also bitten by a misquito and there was a swarm of nats in my back yard but that can not fade my joy in spring time.

For those of you who have had a c-section, how long have you had pain for? When you have done a little to much do you have pain?

Snow Days
I am grateful for snow. I don't love it but I do love water. Jon was home for the last snow storm and it made me very happy to have help shoveling the driveway. I am also happy that I can shovel. It was not so long ago that I couldn't pick my nose, so shoveling our huge drive way is something to be grateful for.
Latest book Window on the Square was a murder mystery. I enjoyed the book it was a quick read. I needed to unwind a little. I have read several of her books and she has a definite pattern. It keeps you guessing and yet I still had a feeling of who did it from the begging. Not one I would highly recommend but enjoyable if your in the right mood.

Cub Scouts
I was recently put in as the Bear and Wolf Cub Scout leader. I have 5 boys and boy are they a hand full. One boy has Autism and the others behavior is not much better. We managed to get a few of the things in the book passed of and then I sent them into the front yard where they shot Cap guns at each other until they were picked up. I think they're fun but boy what a hand full.

I was doing my first cub scout den meeting. It was at my house and the boys had never been there before. One of the boys, I guess was impressed with how clean my house was. He said,
" Let me guess, your basement is a mess." It gave me an insight into how things work at his house.

Is that weird? I think its funny.
