You have a choice, you have a choice to wake up in the morning happy. You can wake up unhappy and then make everyone else around you miserable too---Even on days I feel sad or I am worried, I get out of it--I Let Go and Let God---and I smile--it really works if you smile--your whole body starts to change and feel better.
I was at the grocery store the other day and I was deep in thought--I had a lot on my mind and I was in the beauty isle trying to pick out the best shaving gel for my son---I was staring at all these cans, and I was standing in front of the cart with the baby as he was looking at a book. This woman came through, she must have been about 75--and she said---*You have a smart baby* I giggled and said, *and how do you know that?* She said *His eyes--- Look at his eyes*
She then smiled and told me a few interesting facts about herself and how she raised 12 children and it was very interesting, she said, this was back in the day when women stayed home with their children--and I stated, *I stay home!*---and then the last thing she said to me, I will never forget--she turned and said * By the way, I want to tell you, that I can tell you are the kind of person, that has a mind of your own and does her own thing and does not worry about what any one thinks about it--you are your own person* I thought, wow! I have friends, and I have even a few very dear best friends--my dearest friend of 20 years, is not married, no children and can still act like a 20 year old--we are so different, but I love her--and then my SAHM friends--think staying at home, means putting their kids in boys and girl club and going to a spa...When they ask me what I am going to do today, and I say, I am going to bake some bread--they say, you know you can buy bread at the store---Oh well---are they truly happy--I suppose they are very happy--who wouldn't be--but are they truly happy---when everything is said and done, when their children are grown and they see a young girl with a baby, will they turn to her and tell her something so profound or will they look and say *your nails and hair are so nice--I remember going to a spa when my children were babies*---
So after writing all that, I am going to put on a pretty dress, and then my favorite apron--and I am going to do some laundry, bake some bread and take care of my family--all with a smile--because this is what truly makes me happy!!!! :)

Isn't it just beautiful--I paid 5.00 for the dish....
Today is Tuesday, and I have things I need to do--my girlfriend and I are supposed to meet for lunch, I need to pick a few things up at the store--and I was out of the house quite a bit yesterday--so I want to do some tiding around the home. It was soooo HOT all week---I had my A/C on all week---and it was quite nice. It cooled off today so I turned it off---my hubby loves to have the air on so I happily oblige:) Alexis had a very special Girl scout(Brownie) day yesterday--all the Brownies were picked up from school in a limo and escorted to the Cheesecake Factory---and then to ride the carousal at the Irvine Spectrum---it was wonderful---all the girls were given a special charm bracelet with their name engraved on it. My friend took a bunch of pictures, so I am waiting for those in my email.
The pictures are so nice and there are so many recipes. Have you gotten this magazine yet? What did you think of it?
