PREP-ING FOR THE 2011 GREAT EASTER EGG HUNT
Easter is just around the corner and the 'things and stuff' necessary are piling up getting ready for the big event! The candy and prizes have been purchased, the eggs just need to be filled!! Mr. and Mrs. EASTER BUNNY have their hats and are ready to hide some eggs!
-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.
