You know.. I use to think about this alot when I was younger.. who would I want to be.. as I look around I look at the people.. not just those in my life.. but those around me.. the person at the grocery store with 2 shopping carts full of food.. or the guy that just bought that brand new car.. and I have come to realize.. that there is no one I would want to be other then ME.. I don't want to trade my place with anyone.. nor do I want to be anyone else...



BITE ME!!!

Day 5 of the 30 day challenge

A picture of your favorite memory

This is going to be hard.. I have so many wonderful favorite memories.. with many many different people and different places..
From fishing in Castaic Lake, and the boat motor was not put in the water.. the guy we were fishing with.. says.. hey.. you aerating the lake or what.. which had me busting a gut laughing.. then of course same guy has to go pee and decides to step off the boat to the shore.. and literally the mud sucks him up to his knee!.. he puts his hand up and says.. a little help here.. when we did get him out.. his shoe came off.. now that was funny.. still laugh...
then there was the day I went to the beach with my son James.. who got sand all over his feet.. went to the shower, which had two buttons.. top one is for the head.. and the lower button just put on the water for the feet.. well this kid comes around the corner soaked from top to bottom.. saying.. I pushed the dang wrong button.. again.. great memory!!
Here are some of my favorite pics from my kids.. they always made me smile.. and the memories are priceless!!! They are MY FAVORITE!!! ALWAYS!!

Directions, paths... purpose

do you know where you are suppose to be?? do you know your purpose?? are you tired of being labeled? wife, husband, mother, father, brother, sister... WHO ARE YOU??? I know I am a fighter, (not against peeps but in general) I will fight for what I want, what I believe in, and for those I love..



How do you make a difference? whether it's in someone's life? or for others? what does your attitude say about you?

When people walk by you while you are grocery shopping what do they perceive... are you smiling? are you grumbling? IF you see someone is having a bad day.. do you offer then a word of kindness? or do you think to yourself.. good.. least I am not the only one!..



Diana Ross... Do you know where you're going to!

just some rambling thoughts... again

I find myself with many scatters thoughts lately.. and strangely enough my clarity usually comes in the middle of the night.. truly!! .. it's amazing what the brain does at 3 am! I have such great revelations.. its just too bad I don't have my computer next to me to start letting it flow..

So sadly yesterday I watched our hockey team.. the Vancouver Canucks lose the final game to the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup. I have to say though.. watching the Canucks in the last few games, yes.. they had what it would take to win.. but it's all about the execution and of course how the puck bounces.. literally.. game 6 was just a slam.. watching the Canucks get a power play and it ended up 6 against 3.. and they weren't able to get a goal.. I knew then.. well I thought then.. they don't deserve to win.. I mean my goodness.. how easy can this get..and they were still shut out.. sad.. What was worse was seeing the riots.. after game 7, fully expected though.. I mean this is not a shock... there are those few people that will riot for any excuse.. face it.. win or lose.. the riots would have happened...
I had a friend say... you don't go to a family bbq with a molotov cocktail in your backpack.. true.. and then I did ask.. have you met my family.. LOL.. soooo kidding.. but yes.. the mentality is there.. that was there agenda.. just as it was for the Canucks to win the Stanley cup.. sometimes what we wish for or hope for.. or work so long for.. doesn't happen..
Doesn't mean it won't.. just means.. you got to try a little harder.. for a little longer..

Guess I should implement that saying in my life... so much in my life has changed, it's definitely not where I thought I would be.. not saying that I don't like where I am.. I do.. I am with someone who loves me for who I am.. the good, the bad and the ugly.. of course my hope is that this time it is my happily ever after... isn't that what we all want...

Dream a little longer, always reaching for the stars.. one day..
