Hope that everyone is enjoying their last few days before school starts.

Softball Game

Absolutely LOVED the softball video. What a great clip to show sportsmanship and character.
My quote, "Take pride in who you are, but more importantly in what you DO! This is the true measure of character."

Success with my mission statement.

This week my brother stopped over while my husband and I were working in the yard to prepare for our out of town company. I actually stopped and smelled the roses by going on a pontoon ride. We saw an eagle in the tree and enjoyed my brother's company. The next day our company arrived, and we had a GREAT time even though our yard wasn't groomed! YEA for me!!

Family Traditions

My Mom and Dad made sure that each of my siblings and myself had a memorable birthday party until we left home. Now that we are adults I continue the birthday party traditions,where my siblings and their families gather at my home to celebrate a sibling's birthday! It gives us an opportunity to enjoy each others' company,besides the usual holidays.

Challenges

Making time for myself is still a challenge in living my life mission statement. Before I go for a walk, I think I need to finish errands ,laundry,house work, and any other family needs. I just need to schedule a regular time for my walk! I know I need to come first, I just need to reprogram my thinking!

AHHA Moment

AHHA Moment: Yesterday a group of mothers were having a serious discussion regarding school. I wasn't sure what the topic was about, but they were not happy! As I walked passed them I said "HELLO" and then I said to myself " It's none of my buisness what they think of me". IT REALLY WORKED!! I wasn't stressed out over their conversation. "My life is too blessed to be stressed!"

I watched some of these videos but could not get the volume turned up, so I will comment on the pictures and tips to live by. All were great, but one stood out for me. It said something like. . . . "if we all threw our problems in a pile, you might want yours back." It reminds me that many times, my problems are not real problems, and I have to keep putting these "problems" in the right perspective with the right attitude. With the start of school, all the changes and turmoil surrounding our jobs, we need to stay focused on what is really important, the children, because, like another quote in the video . . . they only get one childhood.

Have a great day,
Joanne

Talked to a Tell-a-marketer today while watching this clip.
I said thanks, no three times she still did not hang up. So I told her thank you, you are very powerful and have a great day. It felt better than just hanging up.

Some peolpe laugh when I tell them that cooking ham is on my bucket list until I tell them that I love ham and have not made ham for 25 years because my husband and kids do not like it. Going to the store today to buy ham and yes eat it. It's ok to do this just for me.

I also laughed when I read,"what otheres think of you is none of your business.
Enjoy your day, Annie.

Sometimes like in this clip, you are a bigger winner if you lose.
It's ok to put your dreams aside to help someone achieve their dreams. It's ok to be proud of yourself , and the young ladies that carried her should be proud.
Sometimes we need someone to help carry us.
When we are running neck and neck in life we have to remember to maintain our character.

Our family has a pig roast ever year going on 25 years this Aug 20th.
I came home and told my husband that this gets to be one of our leggacies.
Everyon is invited,family friends and people from the community.
It's tons of work but worth it when you see people start coming on Wednesday with their campers and tents. They have made time in their lives to be with us. We have even been honored guest at a wedding because a couple met at our roast and now are married with two kids. They travel from Cincinnati. We are also blessed with some thrid generations. Wow.
Would you likw to come? Games, food and fun.
