The Year...

I hope its the year we win the super bowl...We got here, and now have to keep this ball rolling...{ into the end zone] Its great to cheer once again, and be happy when the game is over and we have the winning score. We have this great young quarterback, and some real heavy duty players on the team. Announcers are lauding our playing skills, and expecting us to win games. So nice to hear once again. We are good fans and stick with our guys no matter what...Its finally paying off. GO PACK!!!!!!
Its gonna snow again sometime today. While I think of spring, and flowers, and a vege garden, Old man winter rears his ugly head, and puts me in my place. It doesn't defeat me though, no way. I know for sure that spring will come. The days will get longer, and the sun will be warm on my face. Tiny buds will peak through, and and small animals will come out of hiding. The house work will become secondary to being outside in the open air...As you can tell spring is one of my favorite seasons. Gives me the knowledge that everything is renewed. Life goes on and beautiful things will be seen again. Bad news be damned! I'm ready for the good feelings that come with spring and summer...Late ta

Just for Today

Just for today..I will be happy I,m alive. I will look at the good things in life, and not the bad. Just for today I will hug my husband, and sing to the breeze. Just for today, I will call a friend, and just listen to what she says. I will take a walk, and eat my vegetables. Just for today I will appreciate those that love me and tell them so. I will not judge them in anyway. Just for today I will not swear or get angry over little slights. I will laugh at the mirror and not be mad at what I see. Just for today.....I will look forward to doing it again tomorrow....Late ta

Is it necessary?

I'm watching the news, again hearing about the tragedy. The murders of those people and the wounding of the senator. Its obvious to me that this young man is crazy. It sounds like he has been this way for some time. Too bad no one felt it important to say something...Again we look at it, after the fact. I blame no one except this young man for what he decided to do though. He made that decision and went through with it. I WILL say that politics as usual, needs to change. It has gotten so nasty, and so cruel, that we no longer hear the real facts. We no longer hear what the candidate has to offer to help run the country. All we hear is nasty innuendos and threats. Yes, threats. How can we expect our young people to process this information? To feel good about our country? To want to be part of it all? Many politicians act like small children in their fighting and name calling. I'm so tired of it, and think changes need to come. SOON. I don't want to hear anymore about liberals or conservatives. Whos good and whos bad. Some where.... there is a center that we can all come to, for the good of America. teach our young, how good things can get done...

Going forward

I'm going to try to do better this year. I have a tendency to start things and get all excited, but lose interest real fast. This year I really want to do better. Exercise to make my body tighter, and healthier. Eat right, and less, so I lose a few unwanted pounds. I'm taking one day at a time, just like I did with my other vices...Just because I'm an older, doesn't mean I have to BE OLD!.
That great gal Betty White, is having her 89 th birthday this year. She is also still going strong on that new tv show. She gives me hope, that its possible to live to a ripe old age, [ did I say ripe?] if you take care of yourself...Ripe might not be the best analogy. After ripe comes rotten....lol I used to think giving up things I liked, was a bad thing...Ive found that some things I liked, were BAD FOR me..Theres rewards for giving up the bad things...and usually, this is replaced with good...
So this is my plan, and I hope this time I can actually keep it going for ever....New year, new me and new hopes....Late ta

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
