So excited

It's Saturday and I'm so excited!

So I'd like to thank the Lord for a few things:
  • Spring - it's like a time of renewed hope. It's been like a deep freeze for so long - grey dreary skies, cold biting wind. But know the winds have shifted and the sun is peeking through. I'm filled with this feeling of relief and hope for great things to come!
  • Reconnecting with old friends. I know it seems like a silly thing to thank God for - but what a blessing FaceBook is!
  • My Daughter. She's been through some really rough times, but she's coming out the other side stronger and smarter and I thank God for that!
  • My Son. He's getting to the end of his senior year and he's made it through high school a fine young man. I thank God for that.
  • My husband. He's my very best friend and he continues to put up with me after almost 21 years - of course me buying him a Corvette helps - just kidding. I thank God for him.
  • My job. I work for an amazing company and work with a group of the hardest working, most dedicated individuals you could ever meet. I thank God for them.
  • My Family - My parents in Kenya, My sister and family in Mozambique, My brother and his wife in Toledo. They all love the Lord and dedicate their lives to leading others to Him. I thank God for them!
  • My Corvette friends! We are members of the Glass City Corvette Club and it's truly a blessing for us. We've made and continue to make great friends. It would seem that the only thing we have in common is a car (although the greatest car ever made) but it's more than that. We are people from all walks of life who go through bad times but are there to support one another - and get to enjoy fun times as well. I thank God for them!
  • And it seems silly and trivial - but I thank God for this little computer! It has been such a blessing to be able to communicate for effectively. I thank God for it!
  • This one is REALLY bizarre. Multiple Sclerosis. Yes I thank God for Multiple Sclerosis. Because He's allowed me to have MS I have developed a WILL like you wouldn't believe. I have the WILL to get up everyday and with my GOD given strength : work out, do my job to the best of my ability, contribute to society and inspire others to overcome whatever is holding them back in life instead of wallowing in self pity. YES I THANK GOD for MS!

Just needed to share this with you! I will now teach myself to add pictures to my page!! Stay tuned!

Why Worry?

Worrying is something that I try very hard to avoid. Like the little freckled face red head dude who say's "Why Worry?" - Alfred something - I find myself asking the same - only I keep coming up with answers.
Like.... I worry

  • about a President who is going to drive our country into a situation where we are controlled by Communism. Come on... borrowing a TRILLION dollars from CHINA??? WHAT are you thinking? Get a loan from someone and think they have no power over you...think again!
  • about Peanut Butter. I LOVE peanut butter. But now I'm scared that if I eat peanut butter I'll have raging diarrhea brought on that couple Sam and Ella.
  • about never becoming a stand-up comic. My jokes are too dumb - I mean WHO makes fun of Salmonella??
  • about global warming. I'm sure that's why it hasn't been above freezing in WEEKs at my house. I read on the internet that he created that Al Gore's carbon footprint can be seen from space!

But what's the point of worrying? Nothing comes from worrying except insomnia. And ulcers.

That's enough of that.
