A new Year, so whats new?

Its almost 2011 and I,m wondering what has changed? Did I learn to be a better person? Did I grow as a human being? I really think every year that passes by, should teach us something. We should have learned that judgments of others is wrong. That they only ones we can change, or should want to...is ourselves. Our reactions to the things others do, lies within us, not them. If you have things about yourself you want to change, find a way to do that this year. This may be the only one you get...You have to love yourself before anyone else can love you...Reach out to those around you and let them know you care...Smile that wonderful smile, and mean it. If someone is down...cheer them. If someone is proud, rejoice with them. Hold a child, hug your pet, and let an older know that they count in this modern world. Theres a reason we are on this planet, theres a reason we are able to love one another. Don,t let all the bad news, make you who you are. Lets pay more attention to whats good in the human race. God Bless, suz

Are we stupid or what?

Come on people! Some actions are just too stupid for words! Well, not for my words. LOL...A very sad stupid thing happened this last weekend. A young man's car slid into a ditch, and he decided to walk home to get his truck. According to the news reports, he didn't have a jacket on, just a sweat shirt and no socks. He choose to walk across a field instead of staying on the road, where he might have caught a ride...They found him dead...He WAS a father and husband...People went out into the storm just so they could shop! Some made it some didn't...Human skin is not made to withstand high winds and freezing temps. IT FREEZES! We are a nation of people that cannot wait for anything. We have to satisfy our wants right NOW, phooey on the cost. The loss of this young man makes me angry...It didn't Have to happen. It was a suicide thing to do. They haven't said there was alcohol involved, but I do know that it can make people do things they wouldn't normally do. Its really too bad we humans only use a small part of the beautiful gift of our brains..We are capable of so much more...God Bless this man's family that will suffer great pain over his death...

Christmas

Its almost here folks..Seems like one day I was golfing, and now I'm wrapping gifts and shoveling snow. I'm looking forward to it though. Having the family all here, to share food, and gifts, and good times. My favorite thing is having my great grandson staying over with his mom and dad. Hearing his voice in the morning, calling for nana. Thats me by the way.The tree is up and decorated, the gifts are wrapped and the menu planned. Almost time to start baking the bars and cookies...Soon it will be the New Year and hopefully a better one for the economy. Yes time flies...especially for us olders. The young are like cars going up a hill...slowly they move forward. In no hurry. Us olders are also like cars only we have reached the top and are flying down the hill without brakes!!!! Take time to enjoy the moments. Enjoy your food, really pay attention to the wee ones, and hug your pets...Be good to your body, its the only one you get.
Tell someone special that you love them, and give someone a helping hand. Life is short and you want to make it a special one. I for one, am going to try to learn something new today,. Im going to listen to good music and find something to laugh about. Late ta

Paper!

I really get tired of all the excess paper that comes in the mail! Phone books! Holy cow! Whats with all the phone books? What does one DO with all the phone books? It seems that that dilemma is over at least, since they are not going to be sending them out anymore. Yay! Then theres the cardboard ads and offers that fill up the mailbox, and your waste basket...The biggest culprit is the insurance companies and Medicare. Huge packets of information that one human person cannot possibly read....or want to...Talk about waste! Why not put this info on a CD and send that? I actually have boxes of paper up in the storeroom that I'm afraid to get rid of. What if I needed it for some odd reason? To prove something or check something? Of COURSE I will never needs to do any of that! At least I haven't yet. Are there some brave people out there that throw this stuff away as soon as it arrives? Do you throw out old bills before 5 years is up? Do you slash and smash, and shred instantly? Why should one have to walk out to the mail box only to find junk mail? I'm considering putting a junk mail box out there. Do ya think the mail lady would separate for me? Id offer to pay her money to do this....I have to go now....Theres a pile of paper on my table that calls my name....Late ta

Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and a peaceful one.....I give so much thanks for my family, my friends and my Dear hubby. Thanks for all the things I have to keep me warm, fed, and safe. Thanks for all the men and women that fight to keep us safe from those that would destroy our way of life. Those that have given their lives so we may live...God Bless one and all on this holiday and every day of the year.....

Sarah Plain? Are you kidding me?

Well, it seems some people think she could win a presidential election. Say what? This woman would be a joke and thats the truth. What if after a few months as President , she decided she didn't like it? Would she try to resign? Does anyone honestly think she could run this country? With her ye haw and jeepers, the heads of state would really take her seriously now wouldn't they? Frankly speaking I think the republican party would like to have her in there so they could run things for her. They may be in error thinking that. She may very well be a rogue and run amok. Shes like those other reality stars, [Stars?] little knowledge of what she speaks....Lord Lord, what is this country coming too? Late Ta...

Your future, NOW!

I hope that all you young folks are making plans for your senior years now....Time is not in your favor, and the years pass very quickly. Yesterday I was 20 without worry. Now I'm 68 and on social security that doesn't make one rich...Hubby is 71 and feels he still needs to work to have enough money. Oh, we have a 401k and some savings but how long would that last if we lived on it?
If we had been able to start saving at a young age we could be in good shape now. Figure ten dollars a week. 40 a month. 12 months in a year. 480 a year. In 20 yrs you could have 9,600. In 40 yrs 19,200. Thats on just 10 dollars a week...Double that or triple that...You really need to protect yourselves from being without in your senior years....Think about it...Late ta
