I Like

Manatees

Patrick and I took the girls to Manatee Park, and what a thrill. To see such gentle giants up close was so amazing. The girls got to do a scavenger hunt and look for different specimens through out the park. Educational, fun and free!

Martin Luther King Jr

I homeschooled my daughters today about the famous speech that Martin Luther King Jr. delivered entitled I have a Dream. It is so difficult to teach my daughters about predjudice in that they do not know what that means, and they were horrified when I explained to them what it meant. The real meaning was I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I agree. RIP MLK

Dream

I had a dream last night where the spirit of God came upon me and I was worshipping and praising Jesus on a bus as a passenger. I love to praise the King of Kings while sleeping. I woke up with a smile.

Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
Charles R. Swindoll quote

I love this quote a so agree with Mr. Swindoll.

Baby It's Cold Outside

We have been enjoying all of the cool weather, nice change for all of us native Floridians.

WOW

That is the only thing that I can say to describe this special DANCIN boy!! He really knows how to shake a leg and get a party started (Oh alright, he knows how to dance and have his aunt and 2 cousins watch in awe). He is such a special little guy and he definitely has the moves.

New Year

I always have very strange emotions for the New Year, one part of me is so happy that I get a clean slate for hopes and dreams and the other part of me is sad that I have to live another year without my precious mom.

Dignity

This sweetness has been totally stripped of his male dignity. That is what you get when you are raised by 2 girly girls. Hang in there Donkey, you are loved~
