My Random Friday Thoughts

By -




Be passionate about something, anything....just be passionate it beats being bored. 

If you think you talked too much, you probably did. 

Listening is skill, keep working at it. 

Have financial goals or your money will get pissed away.

Make it a point to see old friends.

Stop what your doing,even when your family interrupts you, and look them in the eye when they are telling you something.  THey deserve
 your attention more than the computer/TV/Email.  

Praying for others IS doing something for them. 

Find what grows for you and make it flourish. 

Walk away if you feel like you are being abused.  

Protect you.  

Be nice to you. 

If you feel scattered, you most likely are.  

Focus is a choice.  

Change your font from time to time. 

Knit anywhere, knit everywhere.

Mental health is worth working for.  There are storms we cannot weather.

Call good things to you.  

IF you give a negative enough power it will come to you. 

Be thankful. 

Bring a gift.  

If you don't' know what to do for someone, bring a casserole. 

Making your bed everyday is overrated. 

Your kids grow up but your family life doesn't end there.  

Your kids get to choose if they wish to share their life with you.

Have something to look forward to. 

Enjoy brining in the mail, someday we may not 



Get a great haircut. 

Memorize something .  Your teachers had a point.

I agree with paying attention to your family. So many people are distracted.

I often talk too much and often counsel myself not to! It's not working

I work on the financial goals thing everyday with clients, and often talk too much in the process.

I'm not sure I could pull off the bed making thing. My mild case of OCD requires me to make the bed as soon as we are out of it. DH says if he gets up to go to the bathroom during the night I will have the bed made when he gets back. Not true!!

I have used this many times Mom! Thanks!

However, I do make my bed every day :) It makes me feel more organized and happy so I personally like to do it.

And I love sharing my life with you... even if it is from far away

Here's one of my favorites for the week (from This is How):
"It may be harder. But harder is just harder, that's all"

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
