Pampering Yourself.

I come to realize that if I don't take care of myself, no one ever will.  I am so busy working two jobs, keeping house, mowing yards...more than one, keeping grand babies (which I love), that I don't take time for me.  If I ever have any extra money I usually spend it on the babies or my sons, what is up with that.  Well my birthday this year I decided to treat myself.  I went and had my nails done, I have actually got nails now.  They look great.  The other day I was cleaning and broke one of them, leave it to me, so I went to have it repaired.  While I was sitting there waiting, I was watching the women get pedicures.  It looked so relaxing, so I splurged and had one.  Let me tell you it was wonderful.  The chair was a massaging chair, so I got a massage and a pedicure all at once.  The girl massage my feet and legs and painted my toe nails.  I made the comment (I wouldn't be worth a poot when I left) they just smiled.  It was great, so I recommend that you take time for yourself and be pampered.  Make yourself happy and you will make others happy.

Forgiveness

Love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
-1 Peter 4:8. Amen!

Love is something that you share, give away, and receive.  Forgiveness is forgivenesss.  God forgives us everyday, and Jesus died for our sins.  Don't hold a grudge, Love everyone everyday. (or atleast smile like you do, you would be surprise who will smile back at you).... God does.

Air Conditioner

Today was a very hot day but a good day.  I had to have a new central heat and air unit put in.  I work with a guy that does it on the side so I hired him to put one in for me.  He came by early and took some measurements and left to get the unit.  Working nights I went to bed.  After a few hours I got up and he was busy wiring the unit.  I got to meet his very nice wife and enjoyed talking to the both of them for awhile.  I work a different shift than this person so don't have the chance to talk or see him very often.  Him and his wife is a delight.  I am very thankful for the opportunity to get to meet and talk to them.  Thank you again for the great job, it feels wonderful in my house.

Going without an air conditioner is miserable.  I feel for the ones that have to work out in this heat.  I just don't see how anyone does it, but then I remember growing up without one.  I remember the fans in the windows, sleeping on the front porch, sitting by the creek and sweet iced tea.  Maybe it wasn't as hot back then, I don't know, or maybe it was because I was so young and carefree.  I just know that I can not go without one now.  Maybe its the hot flashes or just getting older but I do know that I love my air conditioner.  I guess you can say I am alittle spoiled. 

Dinner

Today was a good day.  I was craving Chineese and decided to invite my family to go with me.  Matt, Heather, and little Maddie was there.  Michael and his friend came along also.  Everyone was talking, laughing and enjoying a good meal together.  Love is so unconditional, no matter how mad or upset we get at each other, we can always say we Love each other.  Special times like this one is so important to me, the kids think I am silly but they will realize one day just what I am talking about.

I remember the times with my family as we sit down for a meal.  One time really stands out in my mind was when I was about 10 years old.  We were having dinner and me and my sisters were watching my dad eat.  For some reason we thought it was the most funniest thing, that when he chewed his food his ears would move....lol.  We could not hold it back.  Dad of course didn't have any ideal what we were laughing about.  He got upset and sent us away from the table.  It wasn't too long that he allowed us to come back, only until we started laughing again.  We were so silly, but its moments like that, we cherish now when we remember them. 

Love everyday the best that you can, if its just a hug, a smile, a touch, a talk on the phone. 

Another Day

I come to relize at the age of 52, its never too young to fall in Love.  Some times its feels like the very first time, then again, I hold myself back from letting it all out.  I am cautious.
