ATTITUDE. . .

ATTITUDE
By Charles Swindoll. . .

On today I found a paper that I had been saving. It was from a friend of mine. I recieved it from her years ago. I hope that you will find this enjoyable and maybe add it's wisdom to your everyday life as I plan to do. . .

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of Attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company. . .a church. . . and a home. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the Attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. . . We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our Attitude. . . I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. . .we are in charge of our Attitudes!"

God Bless!

A NEW DISCOVERY !

Your Power Color Is Blue

Relationships and feelngs are the most important things to you. You are empathetic and accepting - and good at avoiding conflict. If someone close to you is in pain, it makes you hurt as well. You try to heal the ones you love with your kind and open heart.

What's Your Power Color?

THE INTERNET. . . .

The first thing that I want to clarify is that not everyone is guilty of what I am about to write. There are others like myself. We believe in the truth and regardless of what you may think of us truth telling folks, Most of the time, you will hear 95% of the truth from us.

Note:

I am letting you know that we have our faults also, but we are who we are so there will never be any surprises. It is the truth tellers who often get surprised:).

I am often online an average of 5 hrs. a week rather from work or from home and I have discovered the exciting world of chating with the opposite sex. I guess one can say that since I am behind the computer, I can become anyone that I want to be. I've taken notice of a lot of thoughts and the conversations that happen online. I don't believe that men and women believe have the mess that they chat.

Then we get to the internet dating:). There is a lot of pretending with folks. I guess they lie to build their ownselves up. They lie about everything thinking that they will never see that person in person.

BUT. . . .

What if you discover that the very someone that you are chating with is the very someone that you want to develop a possible relationship with. That very same person that you have lied to? Your lies about who you are, what you look like, and some other personal things could prevent you from having something special. The trust factor becomes broken and you've lost out on someone and something that could have played a very intricate part in your life.

I've come across a lot of things since meeting people; men if you will; and they boggles my mind. Everyone wants perfection. I think that people feel that since it is the inter-net, they can order up an all ready made person exactly the way that they want.

Careful!

No one is perfect even if you go to a mail order bride agency to find you a wife or mate. Everyone has flaws and if you say you don't, then you are a lier. You've lost touch with reality.

For example:

You want a woman with all the curves in all the right places. The looks of Beyonce. You may get that, but what is her personality like? Is she a clean person (hygiene wise)? Can you say for sure that every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the place that she is from has slept with her? Is she money hungry? The list can go on and on, but in the mean time, you order up this person and you yourself maybe full of your own flaws. Your looks aren't what they use to be. You've gain weight and the middle of your stomach won't let you perform sexually in bed the way you use to and your game is not what it use to be.

This is not just directed toward men. This is for the females also. Trust me. I hate to say it, but I am being honest. We are at times worst than men.

It is not about money. It is not about looks. It is not about the size. It's about the person having the heart of God. It's about mutual respect and admiration for each other. It's about waiting on God to send that person to you.

NOTE:

I often hear people say that the internet is the internet and you are liberal enough to show your bodies on that net with gusto. Especially the one with children. I see children on the net searching through stuff that they shouldn't be searching through. They sneak and do it at school and I know for sure at home. Your kids and their friends might find you. Most men like mystery. They don't like for their women to display themselves for the world to see. It becomes a one night stand and they won't take you home to see Mom.

HAVE A BLESS DAY!

THE PEACE . . .THE QUIET. . .

I've enjoyed the time spent at home for the last few days. It's been so peaceful and it's been quiet. Although I have had to take care of some unfinish business, I also took the opportunity to delve into some reading, place some new job applications and check on some classes offered at the community college. I'm wanting to go back to school and maybe take some courses in Web Design. I am a Criminal Justice Major and I notice that they have extended the CJ curriculum and I might check into that. At any rate. . . It is the calmness that I am feeling now and although I have to hit the clock for work again on Thursday. . . I am more than ready to do so.

HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE . . . .

Recently, I joined a group on yahoo called the Huntington's Disease Support Group. It has been a blessing since joining. I joined this group because my father has Huntington's Disease or as we call it HD. I have met some beautiful people on this site who are very supportive and so much stronger than I could ever be.

It is stated that every child born of a parent who has HD has a 50/50 chance of having this disease and at present I will be undergoing test to determine if I have HD. I was tested before, but through a series of unfortunate circumstances, my test results were lost. HD does not discriminate and a lot of people are not aware of this Disease. It was only 3 years ago that I learned about HD and that was only because my father was diagnosed with it.

To the members of the HD Support Group. . .You have my love and I want you to know that I appreciate you. Thank you for your support and I pray that I can be just as supportive for you as you are for me. Tonia and Lynn :) I love you.

Please feel free to click on the link provided and It will take you streight to a site that will provide more information about HD. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/huntingtons-disease/DS00401

THE HEART SPEAKS THE TRUTH. . .

While sifting through some quotes yesterday (I love reading them and analyzing them), I found one that caught my eye. At that moment the sifting stopped and I could not help but to concentrated on this particular one. I thought to myself that I am so guilty of this. Not shifting any of my faults on anyone else, but there are a number of us who do this. Does this make me (or you) dishonest? I think so! One good example: You see an old classmate in the store, they approach you and you place this fake smile on your face and tell them that you were just thinking of them the other day, you are glad to see them and in your heart you are saying "I just don't want to be bothered with you. I didn't like you then and don't like you now". You lie to them and say "We gotta keep in touch". You exchange phone numbers ( knowing you're not going to call them). Say your good-byes; smiling with that plastic smile and thanking God that they are finaly gone LOL LOL. I'm GUILTY! It makes me a liar with a double mind. It's funny, but this is one thing that I want to work on. This quote covers more than just that small exapmple that I wrote. Honesty is always the best policy. One thing that I do know and that is there is no such thing as a white or small lie. A lie is a lie and lies hurt innocent people. I am sure that I have been done like this. As a matter of fact. . . . I know that I have and walked away saying LIAR LOL LOL! The Good Lord has a way of showing you YOU. All I can say is that TAKING OFF THE MASK is a continual thing.
