stay positive no matter the situation
Lesson Learned! 7 months ago

I think I can take this off my list because I pretty much do this now. I use to be the “why me” person whenever anything bad happened in my life. Now, I’m cool when crisis of any size arise in my life, and I say “why not me”. I have learned to look at the brighter side of things, because it could always be worse and there’s someone else in the world worse off than me. Things just seem to be better when you “choose” to live on the sunny side of the street. Don’t get me wrong, it’s ok to be upset or disapointed and even mad about different situations that happen in your life, but the problem comes when you remain that way. You can’t get anything accomplished when you’re pissed off about a situation, you can’t even think clearly because your judgement and reasoning is out of whack.

It bothers me to see people get bent so out of shape because something in their world has ben altered. Is it worth the elevated blood pressure and stress you put on yourself because something has gone wrong, is it worth the headache you get from being so angry? Cooler, calmer heads truly be prevail, I learned this lesson and I am better for it.



Become A Scrapbooking Freak
Why? 23 months ago

Because I need a good hobby, and this is one of the better ones to have. I have everything I needs, I have stamps, all the paper, the scissors, , ink pads, ribbons, Micheals close by, a digital camera, and friends who scrapbook that can assist me when I get scrapbook-block. What more can a gal ask for? So, it’s official, I shall become a Scrapbooking Freak by attending those Scrap/Crop All Night Circles, I’ll be a weekend scrapbooking warrior going house to house, city to city, coast to coast getting my scrapbooking fix. I will even cease and desist purchasing Hallmark and all those other peoples cards and make my own cards by hand, I will ooze stockcard paper and stampin’ up stamps. Yes, that will fix me perfectly!



Take a tour of the local winery (read all 3 entries…)
Finally! 23 months ago

I went to a wine tasting and have been going every chance I that I can make it to one. It’s not that I enjoy the wines all that much, because I don’t, but it’s moreso the atmosphere and the people than anything else. I would encourage anyone with an interest whether it be great or small to go and visit and see for yourself, you may find that you like it. Also, please be advised that no one winery is alike, they are all unique in their own little way.
