No more STINKIN' THINKIN'

I was looking back at some of my first posts on this blog today.  I found the first one. . .I titled the name of this blog "We Are Blessed".  I feel like I've not done a very good job lately of counting my blessings.  I've been more focused on all of the harder things in my life.  I'm sure that God is not pleased with this kind of  "Stinking Thinking", right, Mr. Randy?

So, today I am making myself a promise. . .NO MORE STINKIN' THINKIN'!  Now, this is going to be hard for me to do, so I will need your support!  I realize that I'm no good to anyone when I'm not focused on the right things.  There is a song that goes. . ."Count your blessings, name them one by one.  Count your blessings, see what God has done."  (It's a good thing you can't hear me!!)  :~)  I know that I can't possibly name them one by one, but I can try to remember them.

If you see me, or hear me, talking negative - just slap me, okay?  Really, tell me to stop it!  I'm getting my happy back - counting one blessing at a time!

Six years ago today. . .

Its been six years ago today that our lives changed forever.  They say that time heals, but it doesn't really.  What we've learned over the years is to celebrate his life - a Sunday drive in his ol' blue truck, dinner at his favorite restaurant, or simply sitting around telling stories of his life. There are days that we all still cry, but there are also days that we smile when we see an old muscle car roaring down the road or watch his baby girls act just like him.  

Can you see Caroline in his sweet face?

 Today, if he were here, he would tell us to wipe away our tears and be about our business!  So, that is what I plan on doing . . . I have friends that need my support today as they mourn a loved one AND a birthday celebration to attend this afternoon, so I'm going to get up, brush myself off, and be about my business!
