WHO COUNTS

IT IS NOT THE CRITIC WHO COUNTS, NOT THE MAN WHO POINTS OUT HOW STRONG MAN STUMBLES, OR WHERE THE DOER OF DEEDS COULD HAVE DONE THEM BETTER. THE CREDIT BELONGS TO THE MAN WHO IS ACTUALLY IN THE ARENA, WHOSE FACE IS MARRED BY DUST AND SWEAT AND BLOOD, WHO STRIVES VALIANTLY, WHO ERRS AND COMES SHORT AGAIN AND AGAIN, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT EFFORT WITHOUT ERROR AND SHORTCOMINGS; BUT WHO DOES ACTUALLY STRIVE TO DO THE DEED; WHO KNOWS THE GREAT ENTHUSIASM, THE GREAT DEVOTION, WHO SPENDS HIMSELF IN A WORTHY CAUSE, WHO AT THE BEST KNOWS IN THE END THE TRIUMP OF HIGH ACHIEVEMENT AND WHO AT THE WORST, IF HE FAILS, AT LEAST HE/SHE FAILS WHILE DARING GREATLY. SO THAT HIS PLACE SHALL NEVER BE WITH THOSE COLD AND TIMID SOULS WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY NOR DEFEAT.
TRY AND THEN TRY AGAIN, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT BECOMES OF YOUR ATTEMPTS IT ONLY MATTERS THAT YOU TRY.

MY THOUGHTS ON A SPECIAL WOMAN

AS WE TALKED WITH MOM JOHNSON IT IS SO HARD TO SEE SUCH A FINE AND WONDERFUL LADY GET OLDER. IT IS NOT TO MUCH LONGER BEFORE SHE'LL NEED TO LEAVE HER HOME (THE HOME SHE HAS BEEN IN SINCE HER AND DAD J WERE MARRIED AND RAISED ALL THEIR FAMILY IN). WE AS CHILDREN HAVE ROLES TO PLAY NOW IN GETTING HER COMFORTABLE AND MAKING SURE SHE STILL HAS HER DIGNITY AND FREEDOM. I LOVE THIS LADY SHE HAS BEEN MY OTHER MOM FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND HAS TAUGHT ME FORGIVENESS, PATIENCE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND HOW TO COOK SOME REALLY GOOD THINGS. SHE TAUGHT ME TO CROCHET AND MAKE BLANKETS. SHE IS THE MOST HUMBLE PERSON I KNOW ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. NEVER ASKS FOR ANYTHING , GRATEFUL FOR ALL THINGS. SHE HAS REMEMBERED FROM MEMORY EVERY BIRTHDAY IN A FAMILY THAT TOTALS OVER 155 PEOPLE. SHE SENDS A CARD TO EVERYONE OF US AND ALL THE GRANDKIDS, AND GREATS GET $1.00 IN THEIR CARDS. WHAT A TREASURE MOM JOHNSON IS. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY HER IN ALL WAYS POSSIBLE. I LOVE HER SO MUCH AND PRAY GOD'S CHOICES BLESSINGS TO ALWAYS BE UPON HER AND THE DECISIONS SHE HAS TO MAKE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
THANKS MOM FOR ALL YOU HAVE BEEN IN MY LIFE I LOVE YOU FOREVER .

VENTING HURT FEELINGS

I AM HURT, SADDENED, AND DON'T GET WHY THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN THE WAY THEY DO.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

1. I AM SO FRUSTRATED.

2. CONTROL ISSUES

3. I AM ALWAYS QUESTIONED ABOUT MY ABILITIES

LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

57 DEGREES

THANK YOU FOR THE WEATHER TODAY AND YESTERDAY
I LOVE SEEING MY FLOWERHEADS POKING THRU THE GROUND.
I KNOW RAIN IS COMING , BUT THAT'S OK.

I HAVE STUFFED OVER 3 BAGS OF EASTER EGGS FOR OUR EASTER HUNT ON SATURDAY. I AM EXCITED TO HAVE ALL THE KIDS HERE. I LOVE MY KIDS AND GRANDKIDS VERY MUCH AND LOVE SEEING THEM EACH GROW AND MATURE INTO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IN LIFE. I THANK HEAVENLY FATHER DAILY FOR THE LOVE AND KINDNESS THEY SHOW TO ME.

Man I needed to vent glad for my blog spot

me below

my blog spot

36th anniversary flowers from Jack

Jack surprised me and sent these flowers to the motel for our anniversary he was in Idaho

WOW
THIS IS MY BLOG SO I GUESS I CAN SAY ANYTHING.
LATELY I'VE BEEN REALLY DEPRESSED ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT I NEED TO CHANGE.
IT HAS BEEN A HARD FEW YEARS.
I DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT TO MANY THINGS BUT I'M GOING TO WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS ME DAILY.
MY FINGERS.
IT IS SO DANG HARD ON A DAILY BASIS TO DO SO MANY THINGS, WATER MAKES THEM HURT AND BLISTER ON THE ENDS FOR SOME REASON.
ANY PRESSURE MAKES ME FLY THRU THE WALL
HOLDING ANYTHING METAL JUST FALLS OUT OF MY HANDS, I CAN'T FEEL METAL AT ALL.
HOLDING A PENCIL OR PEN TO WRITE IS SO HARD
TRYING TO STITCH A STITCHERY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME, THE NEEDLE
WON'T STAY IN MY FINGERS.
I TYPE IN BIG LETTERS BECAUSE I HIT THE WRONG ONES SO OFTEN THAT IT TAKES ME 5 MINS TO TYPE 1 SENTENCE. IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M SHOUTING, BUT SOME DAYS I DO WANT TO SHOUT THAT IT'S NOT FAIR, I DO MISS MY FINGERS AND POLISHING THEM IN PRETTY COLORS. I DO MISS MY FINGERS FOR DOING MY HAIR ( IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO DROP THE BRUSH 8 TIMES).
I MISS MY FINGERS BECAUSE THEY WERE A PART OF ME FOR OVER 49 YEARS AND THEY ARE GONE.
I MISS THEM BECAUSE WHEN MY GRANDCHILDREN ASK ME WHAT HAPPENED AND DON'T UNDERSTAND AND ASK WHEN CAN THEY GROW BACK - I DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD ANSWERS FOR THEM. JUST WHEN I SEE JESUS AGAIN.
I MISS THEM BECAUSE I CAN'T HOLD A POTATO OR CARROT AND PEEL THE SKINS OFF MY FINGERS ARE TO SHORT.
I MISS NOT BEING IN PAIN.
ANYWAY THAT'S MY BLOG AND MY LIFE THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN.

FIRESIDE

I JUST ATTENDED OUR STAKE RELIEF SOCIETY FIRESIDE.
WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE .
THEY TALKED ABOUT HAPPINESS WITH YOUR SELF AND YOUR HUBBY AND FINDING TIME TO TALK ABOUT MORE THAN JUST KIDS WHEN YOUR TOGETHER. TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AGAIN.
FILL YOUR GALLON JAR WITH STONES, PEBBLES, SAND AND THEN REARRANGE THEM OVER AND OVER FOR YOUR BENEFIT. THEN LIFE DOESN'T STAND STAGGMENT.
LOTS OF PARABLES SPOKEN OF.
AWESOME.
ME

MAY OUR LIFE'S BE FILLED WITH PASSION FOR CHRIST'S TEACHINGS
LOVE FOR EACH OTHER ALWAYS
AND THE HONOR TO SERVE ALL THAT ENTER INTO OUR LIFES
WE ARE SO BLESSED MAY
WE ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS

I LOVE EACH OF YOU AND KNOW THAT OUR HEAVELY FATHER IS WITHIN REACH EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TO ME THESE PAST 2 MONTHS.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL
