Make your choice...

Another glorious day in my life. Work and family that I love and a God that Loves me and blesses me daily to show it...who can ask for more? I think about people that don't have a family or God in their life and it makes me sad. I try very hard to pass my blessings on, but some people just like being gloomy. SERIOUSLY? Have they tried some joy and love and FUN??? Once they did they would never go back...don't you agree? I am assuming you are a happy sort. Most of us are. It's a choice thing. You choose your attitude. Problem is what we choose gets to be a habit and if we are down one day we forget we can choose to be happy the next. OUR CHOICE! See what I mean? Too much fun out there to let it go unused. Make your choice...BEE HAPPY! It's healthy for us and infectious for others! Have a blessed one Guys!!! >^.^<

Hellllloooooo-AGAIN!


Well...here I am back again! Seems I have 80 thousand things going on and I really need this time and place to organize and center myself so to speak. Let's see how it works...

Still having back issues. Had an spinal injection this morning and when it was over I couldn't walk. Jeez! That's never happened before...I wasn't nearly as concerned as the staff there. But all was well in about an hour and I was on my way.

I know I have issues...health and others. But I have so much to be thankful for. My Orthopedic Surgeon understands me so well after 6 surgeries over the last 7 years. He will pat me on the back and say, "I know. You have things to do and it's my job to keep you going so you can do them!" (Ah, I have taught you well Grasshopper! :) )

The whole idea is to keep counting my blessings and dealing with the issues. NOT counting my issues and letting them get me down. Hey! Life is way too short to mess around with things you can not control. The choice is yours...Bee Happy is mine. How about you? My sister sent me the above plaque. She knows me and appreciates my love for Bumble Bees. Aerodynamically Bumble Bees should not be able to fly. But no one told the bees that so the just do it. How awesome is that? I was blessed with parents that never told me I couldn't do anything. They told me to try and see what happened. I did and I do...end of story. It has always been worth it and I have very few regrets. Here I am with my wonderful parents. Circa 1945, Tokyo, Japan...Holy Moly!
Both are gone now. They were my biggest fans...always on my side, always cheering me on and always proud of me...or so they said. Not to say I didn't get in trouble...occasionally I did. My sister and I were talking yesterday about that. Before Daddy died he asked me if I had any regrets about my childhood. I said yes, one big one...He looked shocked. What he asked? I said that I had not given them more trouble! He and Mother laughed. But seriously, it never occurred to me or my sister to disobey or talk back...well not to Daddy anyway! That just was NOT done. We traveled all over the world and loved it and each other. I hope my boys feel somewhat the same about their childhood.

I have been blessed my whole life...my husband continues to put up with me and my never still a minute craziness after 44 years! Yikes...he is really getting old. He turned 7o in November. When he was 60 he went back to school to keep his brain from turning to mush he said. He got his BA, his Masters, and this Fall will take Comps for his PhD. I am soooo very proud of him for many reasons, but this is way up there! He has that same Bumble Bee thing going. I didn't occur to him that he couldn't so he just did. That's the secret...Just Do IT!
I think for now! Check in often to see what's going on in my brain...if you dare! >^.^<
