Many people lose small joys, in hope for the big happiness. ~ Pearl S Buck.


Day #72 ~ Thursday, February 16, 2012
Today I am thankful for another day of life ...
Today I'm thankful for so many things. Sometimes I get stuck on the pity pot and I have to remember all the things I have, and the things that I don't make me the person I am today. I truly believe everyone has a purpose in this life. I don't have a lot of material things, but God gave me the talent to make things for people that they can cherish & that have meaning! He gave me compassion, and a life to share with the people around me. So, today I am pretty thankful that I'm still here to share my blessings with others.

7 Lovely Logics

1) Make peace with your past so it doesn't spoil your present.
2) What others think of you is none of your business.
3) Time heals almost everything. Give the time, some time.
4) No one is the reason of your happiness except you yourself.
5) Don't compare your life with others, you have no idea what their journey is all about.
6) Stop thinking too much, it's alright not to know all the answers.
7) Smile. You don't own all the problems in the world.

Day #64 ~ February 8, 2012
Today I am thankful for life experiences ~ good & bad ...  
Maybe some day I'll expand on this ...

The MORONS of Tobacco Road ...

I am a HUGE sports fan for a woman ... I like pretty much every sport except baseball, which I think is an extremely GAY sport ... AND I like Bud Light ... in the bottle or plastic cup (or can) ...

I am generally SUPER excited for the basketball showdown between Duke & Carolina that comes around twice a year because, regardless of who wins, it is almost always a good game.  Facebook has sort of ruined the experience for me ... It amazes me that grown a$$ men & women can act like such complete & utter idiots ... As soon as I got up this morning, it had already begun ... the childish comments & photos ... the cursing ... the derogatory digs ... A team can't win all the time.  They are going to lose once in a while.  That's what makes it exciting.  That's what makes it a sport.

I'm a Duke fan & I ALWAYS will be and Coach K is an AH-MAZING coach.  Whether you like him or not, he's the winningest coach in history and he's proven why time & time again.  That's not to say that other coaches aren't good.  That is also not putting other coaches down.  But the "rat" comments & all the other idiotic statuses are so ridiculous.  Get a life & get over yourself.  Coach K sure doesn't care what you think about him and neither do I.  And the same goes for Duke fans that have nothing nice to say !! Save your status updates for something important.  I don't mind the Go State, Go UNC, Go DUKE statuses or even the YAY !! My team won !! But for God sake, leave it at that and MOVE ON & ACT YOUR AGE !!  Otherwise, all you are doing is proving to all of us what we already knew ... You're just another idiot on Facebook with nothing better to do ...

I can already see that I'm going to be hiding and/or deleting some more halfwits tonight ...
