Hello to other blog Friends - Happy Friday!

Hello to you my good friends and blogging buddies. How are you today, this evening, tonight, whatever it is where you are? I hope you have had a good week so far and a nice time Blogging today.

It is 11:30 am here in the great state of Texas. I'm getting a really late start here, been busy care giving, fetching and carrying and such. In the time it will take me to come visit you all and comment it will be even later. Not to worry though, I will see you as soon as I can.  

I wanted you to know I'm thinking of you. I sure miss blogging with you guys. I’ll come by your blogs as soon as my pudgy little fingers can click and my sometimes blurry 4-eyes can manage . . . later. 

Happy Friday Friends!  

I wish you a blessed and fun filled weekend!

Monday Night Humor

Four Friends

Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those who remained talked about their kids. 

The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday."

The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline then he went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company, where he owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday." 

The third man said: "Well, that's terrific! My son studied in the best universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday, a 30,000 square foot mansion."

The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the restroom and asked: "What are all the congratulations for?"

One of the three said: "We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons ....

What about your son?"

The fourth man replied: "My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub."

The three friends said: "What a shame. What a disappointment."

The fourth man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him. And he hasn't done too bad either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends."

Monday Night

Hello & Good Night Good Friends

Hello Blog friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I have been off and on so much I hardly know which way is up. So, I’ll just say hello and good night to you.

                 

It is 10:00 pm, Texas time and the house if finally quiet enough to have a minute to myself. It has been absolutely impossible to concentrate these past several weeks with the many challenges and distractions.

So, I haven’t been able to do anything remotely constructive on the computer. This is the time that people with half an ounce of brains are going to bed. So with that said…

Good night and pleasant dreams if you’re turning in for the night. Good morning or Good afternoon to you if you are in another time zone and just getting started for the day. 

I wish you well in all things.

A Special Thank You!

A Thank You from Grandson, Jace!

How do you thank someone who has happily surprised the dickens out of you? What can you say that doesn’t come off as trite or cliché? Sometimes you can’t. So with that in mind, I’ll try to get to the point, pronto. 

Grandson, Jace, made a video a while back and instructed me to spread the word and make it go viral. Like the good MiMi that I am, I posted the video. I included Jace’s request for Likes, comments, Subscribers to his Youtube channel, AND Shares. I’m Laughing Out LOUD…again… at that from a 7 year old.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to, AnthonyGodinho, RhapsodyPhoenix, Erica wagner, and MarianShankle for your support. Your surprise visits to Jace’s video were awesome!

Jace and I were grinning from ear-to-ear when we saw your Likes and Comments. We were like kids under the tree on Christmas morning. I don’t know which one of us was more excited. Thank you guys!  

I want you to know how grateful I am that you took the time to visit Jace’s video. We really appreciate your participation on it.  Your visit and your support made Jace a happy little camper! Jace says, "Thank You All!"

Thank you all for helping him with his “Let’s Go to Sky Zone” video. You Guys Rock!

Happiness is a Journey

Happiness is a Journey

We convince ourselves that life
will be better after we get married,
have a baby, then another.
Then we're frustrated that the kids
aren't old enough and we'll be more
content when they are.

After that, we're frustrated that we
have teenagers to deal with.
We'll certainly be happy when they're
out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when
our spouse gets his or her act together,
when we get a nicer car, are able
to go on a nice vacation,when we retire.

 The truth is, there's no better time to
be happy than right now. If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself
and decide to be happy anyway.

One of my favorite quotes comes from
Alfred D. Souza.  He said, "For a long time it had
seemed to me that life was about to begin
- real life.   But there was always some
obstacle in the way, something to be gotten
through first, some unfinished business,
time still to be served, or a debt to
be paid. Then life would begin. At last it
dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see
that there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way.
So, treasure every moment that you have
and treasure it more because you shared
it with someone special,
 ...and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting until you finish school,
until you go back to school,
until you lose ten pounds,
until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids,
until your kids leave the house,
until you start work,
until you retire,
until you get married,
until you get a new car or home,
until your car or home is paid off,
to decide that there is no better time
than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey,
not a Destination.

TEARS & LAUGHTER

“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.”~Theodore Roosevelt 

Humor is mankind's greatest blessing. - Mark Twain

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road. - Henry Ward Beecher

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life. - William Arthur Ward

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it. - Bill Cosby

You grow up the day you have your first real laugh - at yourself. - Ethel Barrymore

TEARS & LAUGHTER CLEANSE THE HEART ~ JL Huie

Are you holding back long-suppressed emotions? Let your feelings flow, right now.

While some of us wear our emotions on our sleeve, others keep feelings bottled up for decades. Strike a balance.

If you are suffering with unexpressed frustration or grief, let the tears flow. Then find a friend to laugh with.

Laughter, however artificial it feels, lightens the saddest moments and bonds us to family and friends.

Happy Weekend to one and all! I hope yours is filled with love, peace, and laughter. 

TOTALLY FREE STUFF

The Bench by the Back Door

A Tribute to Friendship

By the back door on a bench I wait after work for my ride.

I sit with my books my bags and stuff on the bench right by my side.

People rush by on their way out and smile as I sit alone.

Nobody knows nobody cares I’m here long after they’re gone.

There’s one who doesn’t pass without asking if I’m fine.

She joins me on the bench and puts her things down next to mine.

We chit and chat and talk we laugh and sigh a bit.

I’m glad to have her company while on the bench we sit.

Gathering her books and things she stands prepared to leave,

but not before she asks again “Can I help you, please?”

Holding the door open a tiny crack she asks if I need a ride

“I’ll gladly take you home,” she said, juggling her books on her side.

Her sincerity is from deep within As she wonders what to say,

“You sure you don’t need a ride home?” Thanks, but maybe some other day.”

The next few days and the next few weeks as I sat on the bench by the back door,

She never passed without taking time to sit and talk some more.

Then one day I swallowed my pride. I accepted her offer, I took the ride.

Never again did I have to ask, I never had to say,

“If it is no bother can you give me a ride today?”

My friend will never ever know just what she did for me.

There’s no way to repay her, so I want the world to see.

A friend like my friend Dorothy is a rare and precious jewel.

I’ll be forever thankful how we met that day at school.

I say thanks to my pal Dorothy for being my best friend.

I will cherish what you gave me from now until time ends.

Dear BFF

Girl, I can’t begin to tell you how good it was to finally get together with you yesterday. Better yet, I am so glad I eventually thought of the idea of having a meet-up for breakfast instead of lunch. The more I think about it now, the more I wonder what took me so long to “GET” to the idea.

Since my days of caregiving for Mama and grandson don’t leave me any time for lunch, one would have thought I’d come up with another time and a different way to get together sooner. Oh well, that’s a perfect example of how my mind does not work these days. It is also “water-under-the-bridge”.  I GOT it now, thank goodness!

It was so much fun sitting there in I-Hop chatting and catching up, I enjoyed every single minute of it.  The breakfast was nice and tasty too. There was so much food on the plate I couldn’t eat it all in one sitting.

It felt really good to finally get to talk to you face-to-face instead of on the phone or via text message. We had more of a chance to update each other on what has been happening in our lives. Boy oh boy, I had more fun than a monkey in a pile of bananas!

I look forward to our next breakfast with a big grin on my face, thinking of quite a lot of things I didn’t get to tell you yesterday. I’m thinking that when the weather is not so cold or rainy, we can go to the nearest park and chat while enjoying nature’s gorgeous-ness.

Okay, I’d better wrap this one up because I’m getting long-winded here. I just wanted you to know how good it was to get together again, in person.

Until we meet, greet, and eat again, my BFF.

Bless this 'Puter'‏

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hoping your Thanksgiving was the greatest,

Have a wonderful week, my friends!

Loving each and every one of you,

~dellgirl~

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Every night I lie in bed, this little prayer inside my head:

God bless my mom and dad and bless my children and take care of my spouse; who brings me so much joy.

And God, there's just one more thing I wish that you would do if you don't mind my asking to bless my 'puter', too?

Now I know that it's not normal to bless a small machine but listen just a second and I'll try to explain.

You see, that little metal box holds more than odds and ends. Inside those small components rest a hundred loving friends.

Some it's true I've never seen and most I've never met, never shaken hands or ever truly hugged.

And yet, I know for sure they love me by the kindnesses they give, and this little scrap of metal is how I get to where they live.

By faith is how I know them, much the same as I know You. I share in life it brings them, So if it's OK with you,

Just take an extra minute from your duties up above, to bless this little hunk of steel that's filled with so much love.

So God, Please Bless My Puter.
