Peaceful Moments

My Favorite Quote About Life

happiness is a journey, not a destination...
for a long time it seemed to me
that life was about to begin --real life,
but there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
at last it dawned on me
that these obstacles were my life.
this perspective has helped me to see
there is no way to happiness.
happiness is the way.
so treasure every moment you have
and remember that time waits for no one.

Happy Mother's Day

What a great day. My mom looked great, my boy was there, my girls were there, life is good. My family celebrates every holiday I mean EVERY holiday -- we're almost as bad as Hallmark with their cards for every occasion. But, as time goes by it's all about family -- I know everyone gets frustrated thinking oh great one more cook out or one more dinner, but as life goes, we never know when one time might be our last memory of a family member. So we gather together and enjoy.

Oh what a night...

What a night last night was. I am so grateful to have finally finished my certification in Early Childhood Education. Graduation was all I thought it would be. It took me some time to get there---I would start and stop--start and stop, but I was determined to finish. I know it was something I was supposed to do -- my purpose--my road to travel. God is so good! My family made me feel so special and wonderful. I love them -- they are my life -- my heartstrings. I thank them for there love and support -- not only for my schooling but everything else I sometimes get into-- I am determined sometimes. Stubborn would be the word I think they would use.

Kidney Stones--Kidney Stones

Boy -- can a kidney stone knock you for a flip. I have had a couple for few days now and hope they go away fast. I miss my coffee! And my coke ZERO! They do require some lifestyle changes. I am working on it though.
