The Royal Wedding

Well its official.. They can begin to live as a married couple.. Sounds like they are off to a good start..
Its amazing how the media has made so many people part of a private event.. I enjoyed watching Princess Di get married but somehow now it makes me sad.. She didn't have a chance. Not really knowing Prince Charles and being so young with the media.. But you know we all have choices how we live and she had
hers to live out.. Now I have to focus on mine.. So much of the time I fight comparing myself to others and
worrying about doing the right things.. But ya know really its about just loving God and Loving others.. That's all he really commanded us to do!

So that's what I plan to do today!

A new Obession

Well tonight I started to work on my art journals again.. And as I did I kept thinking of how someday I
would love to have a craft space.. My dear hubby has our spare room for his music studio and I someday
would like to make a permanent craft area.. And in my dreams for some reason I have always wanted a
cork board.. So just for fun I was googling all night now cork boards.. Ikea, Target, Amazon, Pottery Barn,
and all over.. Well then I just stumbled upon a Light house Cork board.. It is so very cool.. I wish I could
have posted a pic but I am just not that computer tech tonight..

 One of my other dreams is to live by a beach. So I have some beach themed things
in my house..So now there is another search to go on.. But I found this cool website with
house hold items.. Maybe someday I will be able to start my craft beach theme area.
Oh well just once again thinking and journal out loud..
Hope you are dreaming your dreams tonight..

My Legacy

So my son just had his 28th Birthday and it was a hard day. A close friend of mine her mother passed away
that day.. And also his girlfriend on that day spent it in the hospital in the hospital with a friend who was having brain surgery... So needless to say it was not really happy day for him or me.. But that is life our
days are not always going to be easy and go the way we plan... Things can just change at a drop of a hat.
You can lose a job, have a stroke or a crazy thing like Bell's palsy, or have to go in for a surgery you don't
plan on.. But I also know that yes Life is hard ,,, BUT GOD is GOOD.. He provides and I know he is
watching and has us all in his hands.. There is purpose and in his plans all GOOD will come!

I was thinking again of my son this morning and yes he is grown up but I thought I would write him
a letter... My darling is just not big with Phones or talking. But I wanted him to know about some family
Values. Values are so important... Never to late to teach them...
So here is my list to tell him:

1. Trustworthiness
Be honest • Don’t deceive, cheat, or steal • Be reliable — do what you say you’ll do • Have the courage to do the right thing • Build a good reputation • Be loyal — stand by your family, friends, and country
2.Respect
Treat others with respect; follow the Golden Rule • Be tolerant and accepting of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements
3.Responsibility
Do what you are supposed to do • Plan ahead • Persevere: keep on trying! • Always do your best • Use self-control • Be self-disciplined • Think before you act — consider the consequences • Be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes • Set a good example
4.Fairness
Play by the rules • Take turns and share • Be open-minded; listen to others • Don’t take advantage of others • Don’t blame others carelessly • Treat all people fairly
5.Caring
Be kind • Be compassionate and show you care • Express gratitude • Forgive others • Help people in need



6. Citizenship
Do your share to make your school and community better • Cooperate • Get involved in community affairs • Stay informed; vote • Be a good neighbor



I thought those were great core values to have! I hope that he will live by these!

But most of remember from me:

.YES LIFE CAN BE HARD BUT GOD IS GOOD!
