THE OLD PHONE
When
I was quite young, my father had one of the first telephones in our
neighborhood. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny
receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but
used to li…
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be …
Accept that some
days you're the pigeon,
and some days you're the statue.
Always keep
your words soft and sweet,
just in case you have to eat them
Always read stuff
that will make you look
good if you die in the middle of it
Drive
carefully. It's not only cars that
can be recalled by their…
MOMENTS IN LIFE

An awesome rant from 2004!!
When I was a kid ...adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up.

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse.
For my grandchildren, I'd like better.
I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.
I hope you learn humility by being humilia…
It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman, in his 80's, arrived to have sutures (stitches) removed from his thumb.
He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour bef…
I envy Kevin. My brother Kevin thinks God lives under his bed. At least that's
what I heard him say one night.
He was praying out loud in his dark bedroom, and I stopped outside his closed
door to listen. "Are you there, God?" he said. "Where are you?
Oh, I see. Under th…
This was written by an 83 year old...The last
line says it all.
Dear Bertha,
I'm reading more and dusting less. I'm sitting in the yard and admiring
the view without fussing about the weeds in the garden. I'm spending more
time with my family and friends and less time working. Whenever possible,

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes
with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work.
Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.
A few weeks ago, I was…
Who Wears the Pants

Imagine this happening to you.

two men enter, both

One of the men
shouted, "Anyone willing to take a bullet

From August 28, 2003 from Laura Williamson
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what
to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a
need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They h…

BILL GATES' SPEECH TO MT. WHITNEY HIGH SCHOOL in Visalia, California.
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!

Since 2003 I have kept a folder in my Outlook called 'Jokes & Interesting emails' and as I got jokes...and interesting emails, I would read them and store them in the folder...for later. Part of my 'newme' makeover, I thought I'd take the time to declutter my life. I've done a good job with my ho…
Part of my new positive attitude is to truly be thankful for everything that surrounds me. I sat in a nice grassy areas at BPL and listened to some beautiful music and started writing down everything I was thankful of that came to my mind. I am sure I've left a ton out and I may add it later but h…
I’m sleeping in a nice dreamy state and I can hear this banging and first I’m annoyed, I think it’s the family above us (they have kids) up way too early. Then it becomes a pattern before I wake up and realize that my neighbor is knocking on my DOOR. Now I’m all panicky and I grab my robe and sure…
