Silent Monks Singing Halleluia‏

My dad sent this to me and I just have to share it!

(Creative high schools students give a great rendition of Halleluia!)

Enjoy!

Daily Affirmations

 I have been busy, which is a "good thing" but sometimes I let myself get caught up in a whirlwind worrying about the less important things AND when that happens, I get discouraged. Prayer is wonderful.  What a blessing to know you have someone that will listen to you at any time and not only that,completely understands everything you're feeling. I love prayer.

Recently, I found myself in that yucky mode of  feeling overwhelmed,hence my post "17 Most Important Things to Remember in Life".  I actually did make copies of that reminder.  I am very much visually inspired. I have a copy on the bulletin board right in front of my computer. I love the little motto: “Keep Calm & Carry On.” It was  a phrase used in England during World War II, but it works perfectly as a daily affirmation for me. I really believe in the power of mind over body. I know we can change a lot of what we're experiencing by changing our mind set and energy patterns.

I realize not everyone believes in all of this silliness (Cheryl word ♥). That's okay I still love you.  

BUT if you do, you'll love this adorable little girl.

(non-believers can watch her too, she's that cute)

She gets it!

Jessica's Daily Affirmation

Monday Morning Chuckle

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. 
2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. 
3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine. 
4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5.  Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.) 
6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7.  Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever'). 
8. Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying YOU ARE WRONG!
9.  Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

One of the things we love about little Preston
is his cute spiky hair.

When I saw this little face to embroider, it reminded me
so much of Preston!
Every time I look at it, it cracks me up....

Bunnies

I saw this on Heather's blog and had to share it!

Everything is amazing....Nobody is happy!

source unknown

Slow down already...Enjoy the simple things in life. This is something I say to myself on a regular basis. I think I'm getting better at it, but it's a constant struggle. I know I'm much happier and feel more peace in my heart when I do.

I love this video clip that pretty much sums the whole thing up, I'm certain you'll agree!

Now instead of..."Slow down already...Enjoy the simple things in life."
my new note to self will be ... "You're in a chair! In the sky!"

Need a Little Giggle

I've been a bit pre-occupied. One of my kiddles is having some medical problems (that I've been told I am not allowed to post about.... for now anyway). Nothing life threatening, but definitely life altering. Anyway, I was in the mood for something light hearted and fun today. My friend, Anne, sent this to me and said I could share it with ya'll. If only....

IF WOMEN CONTROLLED THE WORLD

The Job Market

I got this from my friend Sharon. She finds the funniest stuff.

Life Lesson# 45893

One of my favorite friends sent this to me and I just had to share it!

I was due for a good laugh...Enjoy!

Life Lesson# 45893 = Always check your child's homework before it gets to school!

When asked to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they grew up, second-grader "Sarah" turned in the lovely drawing shown below. Needless to say, the teacher was a bit surprised -- Mrs. Smith had always seemed like such a conservative woman. So she sent a note home to the girl's mother asking for clarification as to the picture's meaning.

(read Mom's reply below the picture)

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely, Mrs. Smith

Because I said so!

A friend of mine sent this to me a few months ago and I just came across it again. I'm sure you'll relate.... Enjoy!
