Promises

How many times have you had a promise made to you that was broken? Promises are meant to be kept and never broken. Just even the little ones are meant to be kept. How many times have you made a promise? Did you keep those promises? Or did you break them?
          Sometimes it isn't your fault that a promise is broken, but most of the time a promise is broken by the person that made it due to circumstances beyond there control.
          If you make a promise you should try to keep it, but if you can't you should at least warn the person you made the promise to there is a change you will not be able to keep it. This way they can't take out there heartbreak on you.
          Do you remember someone making a promise to you and holds up three fingers and say "Boy Scott honor"? Did they keep there promise? Or was it quickly broken?
          I try not to make promises anymore because I know in my heart it will be broken. Even to my children, I never promise them anything. I do however do tell them if its in my power I will try. This way I'm not making a promise, but letting them know if I can I will.
          So if you are one that makes promises and can't keep them, STOP making promises, and use what I do, IF its in my power I will. This will keep you from breaking some ones heart.
                                                MAY GOD BLESS!

EASTER

The blog for this week is a very simple one. There is no news on this home front. Working on a new novel seems to be making progress but it does seem to be a little slower than I normal write.  Why you ask? Because although I love to write. There are outside influences which have been flooding my mind.

            We had four people which dropped in from Canada to spend a couple of days with us. We love company, and my husband is from Canada and this helps him catch up on all the news from his hometown. They weren’t here long, it was just a stopping off place as two of them where going on a cruise. The other two were on there way home from the Fort Myers where they were on vacation.

            It’s always nice to see them, and just as nice as to help my husband keep in the loop of his hometown. I also had company from North Carolina when my daughter and my two great grand children came to see me this week also.

            Only problem was my one great granddaughter was sick and I had to make her wear a mask. With my getting ready to have radiation treatments I certainly don’t need to become sick with a cold or even worse a touch of bronchitis or pneumonia. It feels like my body hasn’t really recovered from my surgery.

            They were at Disney for the week so it really wasn’t an problem for them to drop by for an hour or two and then go back to Disney. I hate the fact I couldn’t ask them to stay overnight but under the circumstances they understood.

            The next five weeks are going to be extremely hard on me and with God’s strength I know I’ll be just fine.

            Well, I guess that’s all for now. I’ll be blogging every week on my process and hoping all well take care to protect themselves with annual check-ups and test.

                                                MAY GOD BLESS!

           

Easter

Easter Day! When children wake up and find Easter Baskets full of candy, different colored eggs and all the trimmings that go along with Easter. Easter egg hunts and finding them out in the yard before the neighbors dog finds them first. For adults we enjoy watching them scurry around and the excitement on their faces is worth a million.

Patience!

Patience!

Who the Hell has time for patience. Nobody! Whether it’s on the road, in the GYM or at home. Everyone wants everything now. When on the road, people butt in front of you, and then honk their horn if you won’t let them in. I ask you, get one car length ahead, what does that actually do for you?

            In the line at a BBQ everyone tries to get at least two to three people ahead. What does that do for you, are you afraid they are going to run out of food before you get yours?

            At the bank, same thing, you hear the people in the line taking a deep breath and letting it out so all can hear they are displease at having to wait to get to the teller. Not just once or twice but several times. Then when they get up to the teller they take forever like the people behind them deserve to wait.

            Now lets move on to the grocery store. At the meat counter, frozen food section, vegetables and produce, everyone is in a hurry and you are just in their way. If they don’t bump into you with their shopping cart or accidently bump into you with their 300 lb body, they will start talking to their self about how rude you are for not moving out of the way.

            So how much patience do you have? Do you get annoyed at little things? Do you wait patiently for people to move out of your way? Or are you one of those people that leave your shopping cart in the middle of the isle and walk off to the end of the isle to get what you want?

Blocking anyone else from going down the isle in either directions.

            Those motorized carts are the best thing in the grocery store for people that have conditions that prevent people from walking down the isle for their groceries. But heaven help you if you are moving to slow and they want to get where you are. I’ve been hit in the back run over and pushed out of the way just to get one to two feet in front of me. Like I’m going to clean out all the groceries in that isle before they can pack their cart.

            Moving on to road rage! When stopped at stoplights have you ever noticed how people start honking at you to move forward before the light turns green. That just kills me. I usually throw up my hands and point to the light. As I ask them, where do you really want me to move too?

            I’ve always had a lot of patience’s throughout my life, and I’ve tried to teach my children to be tolerable of older people for they are slower than twenty year old's. Most of the time they practice restrain, but I have noticed they are quicker to release the reign of terror on their children because they don’t move fast enough.

            I have caught myself yelling at my husband for no reason other than I have nobody else to yell at. I have nobody else to take my frustrations out on. He understands and lets it go in one ear and out the other. Thank goodness, or he would have left me a long time ago.

            So, all of you out there, patience is something we all have to practice. Take a deep breath blow it out slowly and keep our blood pressures down to a normal range.

                                                            MAY GOD BLESS!

"CANCER"

Cancer that six letter word that use to mean a DEATH sentence to those that had it. Today it can mean the same thing, but if caught early enough it can mean a new beginning.

            Don’t get me wrong, CANCER is still a heart stopping word to those being told they have it. It’s what you do once you have been diagnosed.

            Men are strong on the outside and a bowl of jello on the inside. They put on a tough exterior, and cry on the outside. Complaining the sun is in their eyes if you should catch them leaking from the eyes.

            Women on the other side of the coin, are in some ways stronger than men.

They have strong backs to carry the load and broad shoulders to carry it on. The difference is they let their emotions show and if that’s by crying than they cry. We pull up our boot-straps and put a smile on our face, and go from there.

            Yes, I’m one of those that was diagnosed with BREAST CANCER. Six weeks ago they did a biopsy and it was cancer. Early stage class two. Thank goodness we caught it in the early stages.

            Back in the eighties there was little chance of catching something like this until it was in the later stages. So, with modern technologies early detection is a wonderful thing.

            Ten days after positive results from the biopsy, I underwent a partial mastectomy with the remove also of two lymph nodes. Having a wonderful husband, who stood by my side and gave me support. He took the news worst than I did. And great friends and family who will stand up with you and help the fight.

            It’s been ten days now, and feeling stronger than ever. Will I survive CANCER? Yes, I will with a positive mind and a strong body there is no-way I will let this thing get me down or give up.

            The key is to be strong, fight, and hold your head up high. Yes, I will survive and nothing is going to stop me. So, if you have been diagnosed with any type of cancer, don’t give up, there is always someone out there who will fight along your side.

                                                MAY GOD BLESS!
