Do You Struggle with that Dirty Little 15 Letter Word?
One word that almost always brings groans and utterances and people often wish they could remove it from their vocabulary.
That word is 'procrastination.' Many people hate to admit they are procrastinators, yet some are proud they can put things off until the last moment and still get them done. Are you one of these people?
Maybe you have monthly, weekly, daily even half-daily lists. When crossing tasks off those lists, it can bring you great pleasure. The tricky part is to be flexible and spontaneous when something fun or necessary takes priority and totally messes with your lists! To do this without getting flustered is an art, creativity at its best. It takes practice and a lot of patience.Only you can choose |

You Can Find Joy and Contentment No Matter What
Most of us plan our holidays to share with family and/or friends. Especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yet, this year our plans may be altered or shattered for many of us.
This must be especially difficult for children to understand. I am thrilled that I have not had to make any changes to how we spend our holidays (dinners, travel, etc.) and look forward with enthusiasm and excitement to the impending celebrations. I trust you will be able to enjoy your holidays as well.
When Rochelle took the kids trick-or-treating, they passed a father walking with his kids. The father was dressed up as Jesus.
In a loud scream of delight Brie shouted, "Mom, I see Jesus!"
The man must have heard someone say Brie's name because he said, "Hello, Brie."
"Mommy. Jesus knows my name!" She was absolutely thrilled and I think the man felt pretty good about making that little girl's day.

What is the Secret to Handling the Little BIG Things?
I wanted to scream but resorted to talking to myself out loud. Could this day get any worse?
Stress Management. How many articles and books have been written on this subject? How many medications are taken daily in hopes of managing the stress we experience? What coping mechanisms can we practice?

Is Your Life a Rose Garden or Does Poop Mess it Up?
There must be a Murphy's Law that says: "When you are dressed to the nines, that is when mishaps/mini disasters/poop happens."My daughter, her two children, my husband, and I had attended the Celebration of Life service for a dear friend of ours. It was exceptionally hot outside and we were anxious to get home. My husband was in the rear seat of the SUV facing our one-year-old granddaughter in her car seat. Hubby entertained the baby as she giggled having a great time with Papa.
"Why did you give her chocolate?" Hubby shouted from the rear of the SUV.
"What chocolate? I didn't give her any chocolate. William, did you give your sister some chocolate?
"MOM, it isn't chocolate. It's POO!"

During Stressful Times, We Can Be Thankful We Have A Home
Every other year my Christmas shopping would be done by now. Usually, I shop in August and September and wrap gifts in October. By the time Christmas comes around I have forgotten what I purchased for everybody so it is a big surprise for me as well. I get my thrills where I can!
Not sure what happened this year except that it has been incredibly busy. Although I have not been on the road for any speaking tours during this pandemic, every other part of our businesses has soared.
