TGI Thursday

These berries are my absolute favorite thing in summer

Well, it is finally Thursday!! Survived another week of karate, football, chess club, dogs barking, and thunder storms. It is always nice to get a nice desert storm since we hardly ever see them. I watched a great movie yesterday "The Bucket List" and heard an amazing line... The Ancient Egyptians thought that when they died and met the gods they were to answer two guestions in order to pass through heaven. Those guestions were : 1. Have you ever truly had joy in your life? 2. Have you ever brought joy to someone else in your life? Very deep. Makes you look at your own life. If you do anything this fall, read a book called "The Shack". It will really make you think about life, your life, differently. I don't have the authors name in front of me.. you won't find it hard to locate, it has been on the top ten list for weeks.

The elections are fast approaching... please, whatever your political background, get out and vote. I can't stand debating with a person over politics who didn't even have the time to vote. Yes, for those of you who really know me... I tend to debate anyways, especially after a few Coronas. Seriously, we are talking very little effort to make your opinion matter. VOTE! As my husband always says to me, "be a part of the solution, not the problem". This is usually said to me in a very lovingly manor when I freak out just about anything. Got to love his coaching:)

Have a wonderful weekend...

God Bless,

Alex

Ahh, so true! What is REALLY important in life? Have been thinking thoughts similar to yours. Now, how do I get my non-parent co-worker to understand that raising my son is more important than a parts crisis where I work...
TGIF!

Hey! I love the new blog! I miss your sarcasm, so now I can read it anytime! How was the Natural Bridge? I love the photos you took there! Have you seen Ron lately? I miss our AM spin classes!
