GOOD MORNING and SMILE! If you dont start out the day with a smile, its not too late to start practicing for tomorrow
We have rain, rain and more rain since Christmas night and still raining! It was almost 70 degrees on Christmas Day and cold front moving through today with MORE RAIN through tomorrow....feel like a duck! Says we will get total 3 inches time it is over. The ground was already wet from previous rains and now the water is just standing, no were to go and trees are being uprooted. I despise this type weather in winter. It's crazy, trees have been getting buds on them, Easter flowers are blooming, just isn't right!~
Here's a joke for y'all...
A little boy was attending his first wedding.
After the service, his cousin asked him,
"How many women can a man marry?"
"Sixteen," the boy responded.
His cousin was amazed that he had an answer so quickly.
"How do you know that?"
"Easy," the little boy said.
"All you have to do is add it up. Like the pastor said, four better, four worse, four richer, four poorer.
Prayers for all who needs them and the states that are being effected by this wild weather pattern!!
What you are describing is going to make it all worthwhile for generations to come and even when we are long gone.
I have come to learn that people and especially children don't always let their loved ones know how much they appreciate things. But they do appreciate them. They really do. They may not say it often enough or even at all but you can rest assured that they really do recognize it and appreciate it.
And someday many years in the future when we are looking down on the ones we leave we will hear them say......"My grandma used to make the best....." OR "I heard my Grandma used to be the best at...." OR "My Mom would have ....." OR ......
We humans are not the best at being able to communicate directly with the ones we should be communicating with but we are pretty good at using 3rd parties to express our feelings for another. I suppose it is a little tough for us and maybe it makes some uncomfortable. So there are reasons why it happens but the GOOD NEWS is the feelings are really there and they will come out eventually. We may be looking down on them when it happens but it will all be worthwhile.
So whatever passion one has whether it be a love for horses OR cooking OR making beautiful colorings OR just being you. It doesnt matter because our loved ones will recognize us some day down the line.
ITS ALL WORTHWHILE.
Now if I can just remember that next year when I am told to go to the attic to get the 6 large bins of decorations. LOL
Good Morning the Day after Christmas! I love Christmas, but glad it's over! LOL A good time was had by all...Want to share a family tradition I started 25 years ago and it's the highlight of our Christmas.
We are big game players at family functions and we love giving silly little gag gifts at Christmas, so I got the idea of everyone bringing a fun, silly gift wrapped with no name on it and when family got here I gave everyone the same amount of play money and we had an auction bidding on the gifts they brought. Everyone loved it and each year it grew bigger and better! After 25 years we now bring many gifts all using plain brown sacks (that way no one knows their gift they brought) We each receive 1 million $$ in play money and the bidding starts after we have eaten and the 'real' gifts unwrapped. It is wild and crazy during the Auction! LOL For instance, I won the winning bid of $50,000 on this gift and when I opened it...it was a pair of 'pasties' with tassels!! Needless say , the family loved that mom 'won' those!! Fun times
I also got pied in the face twice! playing that new stupid game, PIE IN YOUR FACE that one of the little kids got :giggle:
