                                                Imagine Life As A Game

                                                                        (Author unknown)

Imagine life as a game which you are juggling some five balls in the air.

You name them – work, family, health, friends, and spirit,

and you’re keeping all of them in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball, if you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four balls spirit, family, health and friends are made of glass.

If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.

You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

How?

--- Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others ---

It is because we are different, each of us is special.

--- Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important ---

Only you know what is best for you.

--- Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart ---

Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

--- Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future ---

By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

--- Don’t give up when you still have something to give ---

Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

--- Don’t be afraid to admit you are less than perfect ---

It is by taking chances we learn to be brave.

--- Don’t shut love out of your life by saying its impossible to find ---

The quickest way to receive love is to give, the fastest way to lose love is to hold it to tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

--- Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going ---

--- Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated ---

--- Don’t be afraid to learn ---

Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

--- Don’t use time or words carelessly ---

Neither can be retrieved.

--- Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way ---

--- Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift ---

That is why its called the present.

Wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the many prayers that went our families way. For the circumstances it was a good trip, alot of family bonding. S. Dakota was just beautiful, easy to see why my father-in-law lived there. We saw his home..which is over 100 yrs old! We went to the old church and found 5 generations of our family in the cemetery...it sat over a gorgeous lake, along side the church that was built in 1874. I have to say life is way different out there, it did not get dark until 10 pm, and time really did stand still.

I'm going to miss my father-in -law alot........ but he is at peace now, in the military circle, which is where he wanted to be. Again thanks so much for your support and prayers, and now life must go on......with the new generations, that hopefully will make this a great place to live.

hi all,

Well, as stated, tommorow i will be married 27 yrs. Unfortunately hubby and I wont be spending it together. See his father is in S. Dakota , dying of cancer, the cancer is consuming his whole body. Hubby went to see him in hospital for Fathers Day, thought he was doing better, and by the time he got back to Fla. His father took a turn for the worst.  Of course in this economy, money has been real tight. Hubby tried to rent a car to drive to S. Dakota, but with no major credit card, he was denied a vehicle, I guess cash isnt good enuf these days. So he is driving the best vehicle we own, to S. Dakota, and when word comes I will be hustling to fly out to S. Dakota, for services.

I request your prayers for Hubbies Dad, that he has peaceful last days and can enjoy his children, for these last days of his. And for the safe arrival of my husband, in said S.Dakota.

I have enjoyed blogging with you all, and I may be gone for a bit...but i will be back... ut oh (lol)

Thanks in advance for all prayers going our way

For Pops.....Thanks Dad for always accepting me as your daughter -in law..it meant so very much to me , and I love you so much for that simple gesture. I'm gonna miss bashing..good ol mama in law together LOL

For Hubby.....Please arrive safely, Happy Anniversary, even though it doesnt seem to happy at this time, but know I will always love you. You are a good son, father and mostly husband. I did right in choosing you, to spend the rest of my days with.
