its hot but i'm not going to complain because this is how i like it. i was a little worried earlier because i dug out my fan and it was making some really terrible sounds. but i just thought if i wack it a few times it'll be ok and it was. thankfully because now i have NO MONEY now that i'm saving for kenya, so i couldn't afford to buy a new one.
so i got a lot of compliments on my new snazzy hat today ;) oh good news!! i was at church on time today. little r gave me a call at 10 to wake me up. hurray!!
i'd just like to shine a light on all the single-parent out there who each day play the roll of both mom and dad. its never easy and they are unsung heros.
it was such a beautiful afternoon. i sat out on my balcony reading but got dozey and fell asleep. it was so nice. the sound of the wind in the leaves. so peaceful, so soothing.
i used to have a journal of things i was thankful for each day. i sat tucked my bed each night and made myself come up with something i was thankful for from that day. i think impliment that on pspd. i don't know how often, i'd like to do it frequently but we'll see. so today (and i know this may sound dumb. no wait, i'm not going to say that because if you think its dumb than that's you're problem. you can't possibly understand my logic on everything) i'm thankful that i had enough mayonaise for my potato salad – added bonus is that it the expiry date was june 18, 2006. ironic huh? you know... when i used to work at KGH they would say someone was "expired" when they had died. isn't that TERRIBLE??
i belong in the service of the king,
i belong anywhere but in between.

huzzah for wacking!
hahahaha. you silly girl.
ohh, jo i've gotta email/call you. who am i kidding, i NEVER call people. be expecting an email forthcoming.
i'm gonna go brush my teeth and go to bed.
i like your thankfulness journal idea. so much that i may implement it myself. i wonder if i can list 5 things each day? certainly would make me appreciate things more...
it would be cool to be able to think of 5. i've found sometimes it's hard to even think of 1, but it does make me thankful for even the little things.
expired....
i think that this is much better then seeing DEAD beside someones name, don't you think?
maybe passed away would be better
such an awkward topic for most
i just find it so odd because i've never heard someone referred to as expired anywhere else. it also sounds like "oh, this one's past his expiry date, time to throw'em out".
MoneySense magazine, in its latest issue, had an article about being happy. They downplayed the importance of money. One of its most practical suggestions was to list the things you are thankful for every day.
I guess the old folks had it right when they used to sing "Count your blessings - name them one by one...."
I wanna see the new hat!
picture?
silly beckie. look at saturday's entry. its possible that you didn't notice it because it may be unimpressive in a photo.
