The Me Syndrome 2008-09-16 02:11:35 So many of us at times and I’m including myself here, have a tendency to gripe and complain about how depressing and complicated life can be. Recently if occurred to me that part of why life has become so unpleasant for many of us, is because we’ve become a nation of people afflicted with the [...] Read more:Syndrome
Going In Circles 2008-09-15 22:57:38 A few months ago the Texas Attorney General ordered my husband to pay the health insurance premiums for his daughter who lives out of state. In and of itself this isn’t a problem. The amount is relatively small, it’s payroll deducted and besides, it is his responsibility. Sounds simple enough…..
So what’s the problem? Well let [...] Read more:Going
Sometimes It Needs To Be Said 2008-09-12 17:06:08 This is something I had posted awhile back on my blog at Myspace, but then removed it after it was brought to my attention that it had “offended” certain people that I know personally. But you know, I got to thinking about it and here’s the thing. If certain people are in fact taking this [...] Read more:Sometimes

Things To Ponder 2008-09-11 11:03:52 I rarely repost things that are sent to me via email, but these I liked.
1. A sharp tongue can cut my own throat.
2. If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn’t oversleep.
3. Of all the things I wear, my expression is the most important.
4. The happiness of my life [...] Read more:Ponder
Adrian Lovell Stewart 1977-2008 2008-09-09 10:13:10 This post is dedicated to my husband’s closest friend, Adrian
Lovell Stewart
.
Out of respect for Adrian, as well as for his family and those closest to him, I won’t elaborate on the details surrounding his death. I will however say this. It was a senseless and unexcusable tradgedy that took Adrian from this world at [...]

Now I really do understand your excitement over another blog jetting into cyberspace and all that, but please try and contain yourself. There will be plenty of time later for all of your enthusiasm.
Actually, this is my second blog. My first [...]
Women Everywhere - Feel Your Boobs 2008-10-03 12:09:37 No, this isn’t an x-rated post. It’s simply my way of reminding everyone that October is breast cancer awareness month.
My step-daughter from my first marriage passed away in her early thirties due to breast cancer, so this is a cause near and dear to me. (as not to confuse you with my step-daughter’s age, my [...] Read more:Women
I’m Not Sure I’m Ready For This 2008-10-01 18:55:03 This past Saturday my husband and I slept in late. My step-son Brandon however, was up early. He was wanting to go to the mall with a friend, but he didn’t want to wake us up to ask for permission. As much as I appreciated that, I did feel bad that he didn’t get to [...]
The Forgotten Generation 2008-09-27 06:26:44 Every morning he’s there, watching patiently from across the street as you make your way to the curb. Today is no different. As you reach for your paper, with a grin on his face he waves and yells “good morning neighbor.” You barely acknowledge him with little more than a nod as you rush towards [...] Read more:Forgotten

Does God Love Clay Aiken 2008-09-25 15:41:34 I was reading an article that stated Clay Aiken
had confirmed in an interview with People Magazine, that yes, he’s gay. No shock value for me there as nothing really surprises me anymore. What did bother me though, were people’s inability to leave a valued opinion in regards to what they believe. Spewing forth “your [...]
Meet The Cat 2008-09-25 01:28:17 I know this isn’t very good picture, but I thought I’d introduce you to “the cat.” I won’t say she’s my cat because the truth be told, she owns me. Or at least she thinks she does. I’m not sure.
The name is Twilight and she’s about 10 months old. She’s an indoor cat, or at [...]
Slippery Roads Ahead 2008-09-23 15:52:34 The gas prices are old news and I think most of us have realized that grocery prices are on an upward climb, so what could possibly be next you’re wondering. Would you believe me if I told you salt? Yes, salt. Actually I’m talking about road salt, but still.
I found the following article, Salt shortage, [...] Read more:Roads

Saturday we went to my friends wedding in which I was the matron of honor. Then yesterday for dinner we went to Logans. Having never been there before, [...] Read more:Meatloaf

About Me And Dofollow 2008-09-20 13:27:47 Just a quick post to let everyone know about a couple additions/changes that I’ve made to salsaberries.
For those of you that might leave comments now or in the future, I have installed the semiologic dofollow plugin.
I finally added an “About Me” page. Don’t worry, it isn’t a book or anything. Just some basic information about [...]
A Kinder Gentler Mood 2008-09-19 16:52:47 My last post was perhaps a bit harsh, but it was something I needed to say. Anyways, I’m in a better mood now and thought I should end the day with some happier thoughts.
My daughter is flying in from Chicago this evening. She should be here around 7:00 pm. This will be the second time [...] Read more:Kinder
Do As I Say Not As I Do 2008-09-19 14:21:43 Can someone please explain to me the concept behind the “do as I say, not as I do” mentality. Seriously. Maybe I’m missing something, but to me it’s nothing more than a form of dishonesty and hypocrisy.
Let’s get real for a minute. If you chastise or judge me for things I do when I already [...]
Just How Long Can One Live On TV Dinners? 2008-09-18 18:31:10 We have some major remodeling going on here at the house with a new kitchen in the works. Sounds fun and all, but it definitely puts a cramp in your lifestyle. It’s amazing how something as simple as eating can become an issue.
The cabinets are gone, the fridge is in the utility room and when [...]
Courage 2008-10-19 01:51:25 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. -Psalm 31:24
The dictionary defines courage as the state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery.
So why is courage important?
Courage is not the absence of fear. [...]

This is my first time to particpate in ThankfulThursday

A Prayer Request 2008-10-14 14:27:00 My daughter and son-n-law who have lived apart for a little over two years now, are going to court Friday, for what is supposed to be the finalization of their divorce. Even in the best case scenario divorce is difficult for everyone involved, especially when there’s children.
For the most part, everything has been agreed on. [...] Read more:Prayer

A Sad Day 2008-10-06 16:44:37 Today was a rather sad day. My sister’s cat Chocolate had to be put down. She had gotten outside and was attacked by two dogs. My sister took her to the vet, but there wasn’t much he could do.
Chocolate was an elderly cat. I’m not sure of her exact age, but you could tell just [...]
Unanswered Prayers 2008-10-05 17:06:55 I have a dear friend who has suffered through financial problems for years. She has a decent income, but unfortunately, she’s a compulsive shopper. On more than one occasion, she’s had her utilities cut simply because she went on a spending spree instead of paying her bills.
Honestly, I love her to death, but I almost [...]

The world is a busy place. So busy in fact, that we often forget to stop and give thanks for the little things in life. Things that we tend to take for granted on a daily [...] Read more:Thankful
