SNOW BUNNIES!??
I wasn't going to write any more about flying bunnies this year, so imagine my surprise this morning when I woke up to find flying 'SNOW' bunnies on my front porch. It was a bad April Fools joke from Mother Nature! April 1st..... the 13th day of Spring and we have ten inches of snow! There is just something really wrong about a blizzard this time of year when we were just getting excited thinking that spring was finally here. Crazy! This is Easter weekend! We have 'things and stuff' to do so let's hope that the sun comes out and the snow goes away before we have to hide the Easter eggs on Saturday. The traditions go on whether there is snow or not.... we just may have to hunt eggs in the basement. It wouldn't be the first time and I am sure it won't be the last.
-You might notice that the theme for my new reading list happens to be based on the Willie/Martin Handcart Companies. Why? Because I am the Trek Master for our Stake Trek next year. I will be looking for suggestions, but until then I will be reading as much history as I can...
-As Sisters in Zion by Debbie J. Christensen
Life is all about things and stuff...
my epitaph?
Still reading for inspiration.....
Some of the things I have learned so far... some from the book and some from experience.
Hers......
1. Be Michael.
2. Act the way I want to feel.
3. Do what ought to be done and do it now (now is the hard part!).
4. Lighten up!
Mine......
1. "It is what it is"
2. Pay it forward (goes with #3).
3. Karma is so real!! What goes around comes around.
4. Hand signals don't help.
More "stuff" I have learned from Gretchen ! !
Hugs are important when bonding with those you love. However, a quick 'hug, hug, kiss, kiss' is not usually enough time to make a real connection. Six seconds "is the minimum time necessary to promote the flow of oxygen and seretonin, the mood-boosting chemicals that promote bonding." Try it. Test it out. Six seconds is really not very long but you will be amazed at the change it can bring about in your life. Hug you kids... they will respond. Hug your spouse... they will respond also. Try it for a week without telling anyone what you are doing. See if you can tell the difference. Let me know how it works for you.
