Fighting Reactions


A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spirtually. One must fight for a life of action not reaction.

Rita Mae Brown.

This quote hit me hard today. Because I'm not exactly in the best mood today. I just want to hit something or someone. I know it's because I'm reacting to events in my life that are out of my control. And like everyone else in the world, I like to be in control.

I have to work at accepting what I can't change and changing what I can without it effecting my mood.

Easier said than done.

Here's to a good day,

Cheryl St. John's Goal Class

Awesome is the only word I can used to describe it.

The actual title is GETTING RID OF THE JUNK THAT HOLDS US BACK.

And she covered it all--low expectations, fear, self talk, and much more. The class help me set realistic goals and more importantly why I wasn't achieving the goals I'd set in the past.

Visit her blog and learn more about this wonderful lady at http://cherylstjohn.blogspot.com/

pushing yourself hard enough. And that means you're not taking enough
risks." John Maxwell

Finish With the Closet
































Got the basket at Home Depot, they match the colors in my bedspread.

Fun thing about this is a did this so we'd have more room, but Mike is hardly using any space at all. Is that telling me something?

Thank you, Caleb Hanie


The young third string quarterback made it a game worth watching.

Chicago can be proud and Jay Cutler should worry.

See when he was given a chance to shine - he did his best and made a difference for his team.

Way to go, Caleb

What I'm Working On





This is what my closet looked like before I started working on it.




I've spend the last week stain and vanishing the wood for the shelves in my closet.






Here is some of what I've got done.




I've want more shelving space and high/low hanging areas.



Coming along.








Should be finished soon,

Tina
