Happy Endings



"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."--Carl Bard

Change

Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.

We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth.

We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives.

And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life—If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life—and it all begins with your very own power of choice.

To Your Success,

Jim Rohn

Happy Thanksgiving




I thought this was so cute!! Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and family!!



Remember Your Friends this Thanksgiving
To: God.com


Dear Lord,
Every single evening
As I’m lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm
and safe from harm
For they’re so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scraps of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.

Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits ’send’.

When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to God.com
Amen

Update

We meet again!!!! :) For the few people who read this I thought I had better update. Well...life has been extremely hectic. We had Halloween, the stomach flu, birthday parties, trips and lots of other things going on, so this has taken a back burner. The kids are doing very well in school, we are so proud of them. Jay's business is off the ground and running smoothly and his blood pressure is now normal. I am busy with my normal wife and mother duties and getting excited about the holidays.
A couple of weeks ago Jay and I were able to go to Arizona for some training he was doing and see where he grew up. Jays grandparents and two Uncle's and Aunt's live there also. We were able to visit with them which was so much fun!!! They are all such sweeties. We were able to bring Jay's grandmother back with us for a couple of weeks. It has been such a joy being able to visit with her. She is an incredible lady with many wonderful stories!! :) So that's an update with us. Jay and I next weekend will be celebrating our first anniversary. Time has sure flown. I'm still thanking God for him everyday. Here are a few pics of miscellaneous stuff over the last few weeks.
