Beautiful God

Monday, February 07, 2011

After riding along the beach, I reflect on how the horizon and its beautiful sunrise makes me think of how we emerge in our day.
Do we start in a slump? Filled with saturated clouds or do we rise in bright splendor?
Well, as Maya Angelou puts it, "Still I Rise"...

Thanks you Beautiful God for such a magnificent creation that we selfishly and continuously destroy for nothing.
Although this planet was loaned, we act as if we were OWED instead of BESTOWED.
Shame on us Oh Beautiful God!

Soror, I was truly blessed by your entry today. It touched my soul. It is awesome how God gives us beauty all around for us to experience, if we would only take the time and give Him the glory. Thank you for painting such a beautiful reminder. Sisterly, Ladyaka Report Inappropriate Comment

Too Much Work...Too Little Time...

Thursday, January 27, 2011

As an educator, I always seem to have something to do. Plan, prep for testing, meet, adjust to ever-changing adolescent attitudes, etc...the list goes on.
After leaving work at 9pm, I decided to leave after tutoring instead, no matter what!
So, now my WORKout is what I'm looking forward to.

There's an African proverb that says, "If you do not make time to be well, then make time to be sick." Good for you for realizing the need to make time to be well. Report Inappropriate Comment

Middle Child Growing Up ... WOW!!!

Friday, January 14, 2011

My middle child has become 13 today. She has blossomed into a beautiful, well-rounded young lady and I am so proud of her. She'll be having her celebration at an indoor-gaming facility with buffet-style pizza and an AWESOME salad bar!

(Notice how I enphasized the salad bar?)

Now with the go karts, bumper cars and other physical activities, I'm gonna have myself a ball too while getting my fitness on honey!

~AND YOU KNOW THIS, MAN!!!!
That's me kickin' butt!!!

  

Poison: Stops Progress or NOT!

Tuesday, January 04, 2011

Lying in bed, posting this blog... miserable!
Yesterday, I became a victim of food poisoning from a local seafood restaurant. I thought I was making wise choices: fried zuchinni- appetizer; blackened grilled shrimp poboy with fried mushrooms-entree'... water w/lemon to wash in all down.
About 2 hours later, what went down came up... Spewed up is more like it!
I called the poison control center for advice and reported it.
Now, I just want to feel better and slowly work my way to solids.
I even decided to keep tracking and keep Sparking...
