New Meaning

As I Get Older..........sayings that I have heard for years have new meaning....and this is one of them.

                           "You can't give what you don't have,
                             You can't teach what you don't know,
                             So when you get-----give
                            And when you know better --do better!!!!!"
Nuff Said!!!!

Unforgettable

AS I GET OLDER.........I realize how often some things are "unforgettable".  Not weddings or deaths or births, but things much simpler.  Things like something someone said or did that they don't remember and you will never forget. 
I can remember verbatim, several statements that were made to me.  The person who said them, probably  does not recall ever having had the conversation with me, but I can tell you exactly what was said.  It affected my life forever and was added to my "lessons on life" quotes.  Certain words or deeds just touch your Spirit in such a very special place that they are ingrained for eternity.

Good Intentions

It is said that the road to Hell is paved with "Good Intentions".  Well, it appears that the road to getting nothing done is also paved with "Good Intentions".  In order to move from good intentions to getting it done, it takes foresight, perserverance and determination.  A sense of satisfaction and accomplishment will be the reward.  Release Good Intentions and Just Get It Done!!!!

Who Are You?

AS I GET OLDER......it has become more and more important that I stay true to myself, true to who I really am......now that I have discovered who that is.  There are often events and experiences that challenge my ability to be my authentic self.  That is when my feathers flair and I stand my ground.  I have been through many trials and tribulations to discover who I truly am and I am not about to let current circumstances or people make me doubt my reality.  I know who I am and I know my role in this life..   Who Am I?  I am a Child of the Most High God.......Blessed and Highly Favored......and You are too!!!!

A CAN-DO SPIRIT

AS I GET OLDER..........I have developed more of a Can-Do Spirit.  I realize that there are many things that I can not/will not do, but I CAN do what I can do and I am wise enough to know the difference.  So, instead of focusing on what I can not do and doing nothing, I move straight ahead with what I CAN DO......and that feels good!

Let God and Let Go !!!!

As I Get Older.........I reallize the importance of releasing my loved ones lives to their own destiny.  I want the best life for each of them but that is beyond my control as they become adults.  You can save a person from a lot of things but you cannot save him/her from themself or their life path.   Let Go and Let God has a new meaning in my life.  But even more importantly, I am learning to allow God to be in charge of all aspects of my life and the lives of my loved ones and I will let go of worry, anxiety and fear.  I have decided to Let God and Let Go..........

Ordinary Weather

As I Get Older........I realize that ordinary weather does not matter.   The recent cold spell found me complaining and upset about being so cold.  Yes, I was really going on and on and making myself even more miserable. 
Cold, snow, heat, rain no matter, I won't complain any more.  That is just ordinary weather and I will just be glad to be here to experience it.

But this earthquake in Haiti is a "whole nother story".  Its like "I cried because I had no shoes then met a man who had no feet".  I won't complain!!!!!!
