Thursday Thoughts

Lilies symbolize rebirth and renewal! 

They are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, 

signifying the end of winter and the start of a new season. ~Unknown~  

“Just as the Lily blooms in the midst of adversity,

 so too can we find strength and resilience in the 

face of life’s challenges.” ~Unknown~

True Confession

 

My "MUSE" 

~~ Music ~~

What gets me going? What inspires me?

What makes me want to breathe deeper,

smile wider, even giggle a little,

then, laugh out loud . . . alone,

and break out into a smooth dance step…

with my broom,

All by myself

. . . in the kitchen?

It’s MUSIC!

Sweet and pure

Soul-stirring

Plain, simple

Spine tingling

Foot tapping, head bobbing

from side to side,

GOOD MUSIC!  <<<Click

Something to Think About

~ Put The Big Rocks in First ~ 

A while back I was reading about an expert on the subject of time management. One day this expert was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget. As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered over achievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz."

Then he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed mason jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full? 

"Everyone in the class said, "Yes."

Then he said, "Really?"

He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks.

Then he asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?"

By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. 

"Good!" he replied. 

He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" 

"No!" the class shouted. Once again, he said, "Good!"

Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" 

One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!" 

"No", the speaker replied, "that's not the point. 

The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. 

"What are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? A project that YOU want to accomplish?Time with your loved ones? Your faith, your education, your finances? A cause?

So, tonight or in the morning when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question: What are the ‘big rocks’ in my life or business? 

Then, put the big rocks in your jar first. 

Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all.

Friday Feelings

 Finally, It's Friday. . .

   Let the FUN Begin!

~ ~ ~

  My teachers told me I’d never amount to much since I procrastinate so much.

I told them, “Just you wait!”

Who cares anyway?! It's Friday...

~ ~ ~

Happy Fry-Day Everyone!

 

I hope your Fry-day is or was as GOOD as these Fries were.

That Friday Feeling . . . 

Happy, Happy, HAPPY Friday night and a wonderful weekend to you all!

OLD but True. . . and funny!

 You Know You're Living in 2024 when...

 

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played Solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 4.

4. You have to LOOK through your phone for YOUR OWN phone number            because you don’t know it “by heart”!

5. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

6. You text good morning/good night to loved ones instead of calling them on the phone to talk.

7. Your reason for NOT staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses or cell phones (for texting).

8. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

9. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

10. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 50) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

11. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

11. You call on the phone from your room for someone to bring you a bottle of water from the kitchen.

11. You carry your cell phone around in your pocket all day long . . . to have if you need it.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.  :)

12 You're reading this and you’re nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly who you are going to share this message with.

14. You are too busy to notice there are 4 #11(s) on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check how many #11(s) are on this list. 

16. You walk around looking for your cell phone only to realize you're talking on it.

17. You point your cell phone at the tv to change channels. 

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING-OUT-LOUD . . . by yourself.

Happy Friday Night, dear friends!
