I am fortunate to have a friend who enjoys Monty Python as I do. Click the link for some loony entertainment. (at the beginning of this sentence under the I is a link to the fish licence sketch, which explains the loonie reference!)
Of course Monty Python is not loved by all, definitely an acquired taste, but careful once you laugh then you are infected and soon you will be memorizing skits. Challenge : check out monty pthyon’s The Cheese Shop on your own! (chuckle)
This treasure topic will need multiple segments. I am blessed with a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, wonderful parents, …. I am blessed!
Real treasure lies not in what that can be seen, but what that cannot be seen.
Treasure in family and friends cannot be weighed, stored in a vault, or appraised. The value though is priceless. So those family and friends that I share my daily life with; bless you and thank you. I appreciate you.
My Dad’s sister lived in Drumheller until she passed away yesterday. She was remembering birthdays and encouraging her loved ones right up until the day she went into the hospital.
I wonder if everyone felt the way I did around her. I always felt she singled me out to show me with kindness and genuine interest in my world, my family, and my health.
Her family was bonded together, sons and daughters, son in laws, daughter in laws, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was proud of every one and made them all feel special.
Her last email to me was typically positive before going for surgery. ”
My family is all behind me and offering a lot of support and
comfort, and my friends are also calling and wishing me the best and putting me on their prayer lists, chains, etc.
I’m glad we have an ‘AWESOME’ God I can put my trust in, and hope and pray all goes well so I can have the pleasure of communicating with you real soon again.
Take good care, and please keep me in your prayers.
Love, Hugs and Prayers,A. Elinore. “
Dear Aunt Elinore, I will take care and I will always keep you in my prayers. I will miss your emails but still feel your love. Love Dave
With a Post heading like that I need to satisfy some curiosity. One thing I enjoy about reading is the learning and expanding of vocabulary. The trouble sometimes is fitting words I understand into daily conversation. This post I will provide a Word for The Day with the meaning.
You my reader are challenged to use it in conversation within 4 hours.
Capricious [ca·pri·cious] adj. Characterized by or subject to whim; impulsive and unpredictable. “He’s such a capricious boss I never know how he’ll react.”
What is positive energy? I know what isn’t. Complaining, talking negative. That is not to say that criticism is bad. I think criticism is required. How could I or anyone improve if we were unaware of areas we could improve? How could a target be reached if you could not share changes a person needs to make so they can be successful?
No criticism is unrealistic. But we hate that word, and it seems to us to be so negative. I hope that in the future I can not be a complainer, that is just unhealthy. Let me be someone who is welcomed when I give feedback because it is balanced, helpful, specific and welcomed.
People tend be either left or right brain or the way I see it either emotional or factual. Guys in my opinion are mostly right brain factual. We weigh and analyze and somewhere after youth learn to suppress or hide when we are left brain/emotional. It’s a loss somehow. That macho personality can prevent real friendships from becoming deeper. Is this true?
We had company a few weeks ago, and one of the company kept saying I was acting like a man or along those lines. I should have asked what she meant.
I don’t mind doing dishes, ok I do but I realize it is fair that I do them and it’s not really so bad. I even enjoy cooking but don’t like to do it alone. So what is macho behavior? I don’t recall grunting or firing off any weapons, so what gives?
