Dear Sharon, You really made me laugh! This is a beautiful picture again! I thought she is the one who has the final say if I can join the welcome wagoners or not. That is why. It is not urgent at all! Thanks my friend- you are always ready to help! You don't need to call her at all. Thanks for letting me know that she is on a book signing tour. May God Bless her abundantly! I have anti virus too. I shall try google! what do you mean you steal them? You made me laugh so much. Thanks once again, I am known to be a little impatient!
Lots of Blessings, love and hugs to you!

"No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." Calvin Coolidge

"The competing views of success in our world often create an interesting tension. Society tends to define success in terms of accomplishments and awards, material possessions, and profit margins. In the football business, winning is the only thing that matters.
God’s Word, however, presents a different definition of success; one centered on a relationship with Jesus Christ and a love for God that allows us to love and serve others. God gives each one of us unique gifts, abilities and passions. How well we use those qualities to have an impact on the world around us determines how “successful” we really are….
God’s definition of success is really one of significance, the significant difference our lives can make in the lives of others. This significance doesn’t show up in win-loss records, long resumes, or the trophies gathering dust on our mantels. It’s found in the hearts and lives of those we’ve come across who are in some way better because of the way we lived."-From Tony Dungy's book Quiet Strength.

The quilts are done and we still have more on their way to me! I found out this morning, we are going to try to ship the quilts on Feb 24th, that's so exciting! I talked to the pilot's wife, who is one of his flight attendants! We are wrapping up this mission, and the hope is to keep working and sending over smaller shipments when we can! Many of the ladies do NOT want to stop! Here is silly me with a scrap of binding on my head, we have alot of fun on tuesday at Leslie's house!… Continue

My 29 gifts book came in the mail today. How great is that? I read it all today (but of course that means I can now reread it and that's even more fun.) I also now see what the pattern of the ritual is about and that's quite helpful. I even got to s…

Last night my left eye started bothering me, so I took out my contacts and went to bed shortly afterward. In the middle of the night, I woke up with my eye watering like crazy and swollen. All I could think about was the Disneyland outing I had plan…

Thanks to all of you who have been supporting me. I am out of the hospital, but am having some problems with my hands that make using the keyboard challenging and painful. Hopefully I'll be back to blogging more regularly here soon.

I should have given my nurse practitioner a gift. Instead she gave me one. 22 items on my Lipid and Metabolic panels and all of them in the good range. I felt like I was on the Biggest Loser as she told me my health age was probably five years young…
