WHACK! She flies out of her chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor,
gets up, and runs upstairs crying her eyes out, with her mother in hot pursuit,
slapping her rear with every step. Her mom locks her in her room and
shouts, 'You can stay there until I let you out!'
She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year-old and asks with a stern
voice, 'And what do YOU want for breakfast, young lady?
. . . is filled with Adversity
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!
Soul-stirring
Plain, simple
Spine
tingling
Foot
tapping, head bobbing
from
side to side,
GOOD MUSIC!

What gets YOU going? What inspires YOU?
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.
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.

ANOTHER SIDE/POV to this STORY!
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.
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!
Hi and Hello to everyone. What are you up to these days? Are your days fun and exciting or routine and mundane? Tell us please, we’d love to hear about it. What have I been up to? Same-o, same-o. I’ll leave that up to your imagination. In the meantime, let’s catch up on UP.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding up. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing up.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things up. When it doesn't rain for awhile things dry up.
Brenda picked up her plate from the table and went outside to eat on the patio.
You'd better go wash up, it’s time to eat dinner.
I woke up earlier than usual this morning.
Now that I’m old(er), walking up the stairs is not as easy as it used to be.
I was having trouble with my computer. So, I
called Richard, the 11-year-old next door whose bedroom looks like a Mission
Control Station and asked him to come over. Richard clicked a couple of buttons
and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong? He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'
I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless I inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'
Richard grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?'
'No,' I replied. 'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'
So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T ...
I used to like that little farrt.............

Didja gitta good laff OR NOT?!
Yes!
I'm stealing time - to post. There are several things, important things I should be doing but, I miss y’all.
Hi, Hey, and Hello to you . . . one and ALL!
I really do miss you all when I’m away (from blogging).
So, that's why I'm stealing this time to post this simple hello. I just had to check-in long enough to say, "Hi" to all.
Thankfully, I got a few things done while away from blogging
though. I decluttered a couple of drawers and cabinets in the kitchen and in my bathroom.
I threw away some items around the house that were no longer useful or needed.
AND, OH . . . there’s more, but I’ll stop here. I’m getting tired all over again just writing it all down.
That done, another “something-to-do” popped up. It was important and needed immediate attention. Oh well . . .
What are you up to these days? How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was NICE, quiet, and Blessed! Thank God for that!
