HARD LESSSON TO LEARAN....

A HARD LESSON TO LEARN IS:

WHEN A DOOR CLOSES. KNOCK ON IT A FEW TIMES, BUT IF IT STILL DOESN'T OPEN, LET IT STAY CLOSED.......

IN A CAREER, IN LOVE, IN LIFE......WHEN YOU SEE THE PERIOD AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE, DON'T TRY TO TURN IT INTO A COMMA.....KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS OVER AND MOVE ON!

"IN LIFE ......SHIT HAPPENS......STEP OVER IT AND MOVE ON"

SO THINK ABOUT TODAY?   I WAS HAPPY.....WEATHER GOOD, FELT GOOD, GOT CHORES DONE AND ENJOYED THE RELIEF SOCIETY TEACHERS...WHICH ALL TURN INTO GOOD MEMORIES......NO, NOT EVERY DAY RUNS THIS SMOOTH, BUT I PRAY I WILL BE READY FOR IT.......HANDLE IT AND MOVE ON TO TOMORROW AND A BETTER DAY......TALKED TO LESLIE AND SHERRIE......WHICH ALWAYS MAKES MY DAY......HOPE PAM IS ENJOYING FLORIDA.

ALEX AND ASHLYN COMING FOR THE WEEKEND AND ALEX IS PUTTING IN A NEW BACK SPLASH FOR ME.......SO GLAD WHEN THE GRANDKIDS ENJOY GRAMMIE.....AND ARE WILLING TO MAKE MY LIFE BETTER.

BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND!!!!.....

I HAVE TO IMPRESS THIS UPON MY FAVORITE NEPHEW.......HIS WIFE JUST WALKED OUT......AS DID THE WIVES OF TWO OF MY GRANDSONS......AND MY X!!!!!!

YOU DON'T NEED A MATE TO VALIDATE YOU......NOT IN MY FAMILY......WE CAN HANDLE ALONE AND BE HAPPY.....ONCE WE REALIZE IT'S OK TO BE ALONE.  BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND???

"THE WORLD IS MY COUNTRY

ALL MANKIND ARE MY BREATHERN AND

TO DO GOOD IS MY RELIGION....."

THOMAS PAINE

IT WAS CHORE DAY.....YOU KNOW GET GAS, PAY BILLS, A FEW GROCERIES AND A PRESCRIPTION......THEN MY RELIEF SOCIETY TEACHERS THIS AFTER NOON.....2 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES......THEN WHAT FOR DINNER.....ONE OF THESE DAYS I AM GOING TO GET ORGANIZED..........

SOMETIMES I WONDER?

WILL WE EVER GET TIRED OF DR SEUSS?

EVERY NOW AND THEN I LOOK BACK...........I AM ME AND GUESS I ALWAYS WILL BE!

I ALWAYS HAD GOALS.......WHEN I WAS YOUNG I WANTED AND GOT TO BE A CHEER-LEADER.....SO WORKED HARD ON MY BACK BEND AND MAKING FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE TO VOTE ME IN!!!!!

THEN THE NEXT GOAL WAS TO BE A STEWARDESS.....HAD TO BE 21...SO I WENT TO COLLEGE TWO YEARS AND WORKED IN DENVER AT BURKHARDT STEEL CO ONE YEAR.......21 ......AND I WENT TO ALL FIVE AIRLINES IN DENVER AND APPLIED TO BE A STEW.....FRONTIER CAME IN FIRST AND HIRED ME.....YEA.....ANOTHER GOAL ACCOMPLISHED........AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS I WANTED TO SETTLE DOWN AND HAVE A FAMILY..........

THEN IT WAS TO MEET MY KNIGHT IN SHINNING ARMOUR (AFTER 30 YEARS TURNED OUT TO BE AN ASSHOLE WRAPPED IN TINFOIL.......BUT WE HAD THREE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS AND DID A LOT OF TRAVELING.......AND REALIZING.....IN LIFE SHIT HAPPENS......I STEPPED OVER IT AND WENT TO THE NEXT DREAM......

I WANTED TO BE A TRAVEL AGENT OR A CONCIERGE.....I WORKED A LITTLE AS AN "OUTSIDE" AGENT FOR WESTERN TRAVEL WHERE I MET ANN......A FULL TIME AGENT.....AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY SEEING THE WORLD WITH ALL HER PERKS......PLUS I WENT TO WORK FOR .THE DOUBLE TREE HOTEL AND GOT TO BE A CONCIERGE......ANOTHER GOAL ACCOMPLISHED!.

MY LAST GOAL I GUESS IS TO BE THE BEST MOTHER, GRANDMA, SISTER, AUNT, FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR I CAN BE AND ENJOY ALL THE DAYS LEFT IN MY LIFE......THAT IS WHAT I AM WORKING ON.....WE NEED GOALS!

I SEEM TO ALWAYS HAVE A ROAD MAP FROM GOD.

MARCHING ON......
