"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family"

Me

My birthday has come and gone and I am another year older …. as I reflect there are a few things I thought I’d share.

Things I like:
~Watching my children sleep – it is peace in its truest form
~The cold – we all need more bundle up and snuggle time!
~A phone call from my good friend – just to say ‘hello’
~PJ’s – there is just something warm and cozy about a great pair of PJ’s
~A glass of wine to relax … or a cup of coffee to wake up – either way it is a warm feeling from the inside out

Things I do not like:
~Telemarketers - Come on now … why do “the do not call” lists not work?
~Sick children – it breaks my heart to see my kids suffer
~SLC drivers … why must they cut me off … I want to get where I am going too!
~Gnats on bananas … how come you never see them in the store?
~Sushi … just cannot do raw fish (yes I’ve tried some … yuck!)

Things I am thankful for:
~My mother – everyday her sacrifices and lessons taught help to make me a better woman
~My children … of course … they drive me crazy and keep me sane all at the same time
~My friends – who are not really friends … they are family … I am lucky to have them all

Things I’d like to see change:
~Faith in God … seems as if too many people forget to … and those that do are not willing to discuss it
~Health Care – are we the only country that does not have centralized health care? Too many struggle without it ~ especially in today’s economy
~My weight … why is it SO easy to gain and so HARD to lose?

Be good to each other … say what you need to say while you can. Don’t hold a grudge. Forgive. Live for today, not tomorrow or dwell in yesterday. Hug a friend. Call your mother/father/sister/brother. Call me! Love, peace, and joy to all who read this.
