New Years Resolutions

Today is January 11, 2012, and the thought of how many people are sticking to the almighty New Years Resolution crossed my mind. I personally don't make one simply for the fact that I wouldn't stick with it... maybe I have the wrong attitude - already accepting defeat, but I really don't remember ever making one because I truly don't see the point. I try each day to become a better person then I was the day before. Anyway, I decided to google the top 10 - each site that I visited pretty much had the same, just in a different order. Getting healthy, enjoying life, spending less and saving more to mention a few. http://www.2011resolutions.org/top-10-new-years-resolutions-for-2011/
For all of you that have made this a yearly tradition or decided to take a swing at it for the first time; I am hoping the best for you ... cheers! As for me, this quote sums it up. “I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me. ”

Make today the best that you can possibly make it for you may not see tomorrow. - Carolyn Murray

Have An Open Heart

As I was sorting through pictures this morning I came across pictures of my seven-year-old granddaughter with girls that she met for the first time on a 2 day stay in Prescott. I was drawn to the smiles on their faces and the love in their eyes. They met, accepted each other, and acted as if they had been lifelong friends. Oh, how I had forgotten about the innocence of a child. The color of skin, the size of a body, the structure of a face does not matter. They are ready to accept and love unconditionally until we and society teach them differently. There was nothing but smiles and laughter as they danced, made beaded jewelry, and ate. They made sure that they all were a part of whatever they were participating in. They cared about each other's feelings and made sure that everyone was having fun and was happy. Why is it that we grow to become so obsessed with appearance and behavior of others that we miss seeing the light or the struggles in others? We're so q...

Does Color Matter

I know I said today was going to be my day off, but I just came home from visiting a friend that was telling me about her friend's daughter that is Asian, in first grade and attending a new school. Apparently, she is being ostracized by her peers because of her ethnicity. Isn't the age of a first grader 5 or 6? This just proves my theory that racism will never end. In fact, I think it's getting worse. I base my theory on me being an interracial child (Black, Mexican, Indian & White) that was in first grade in 1965 at a predominately white school; meaning no Blacks. This was my life through school until the last two years of high school when a couple of Black students came. If there were any signs of racism I didn't see it or hear it... don't you think I should have considering the era? So maybe that's it... we've become a society that thinks it's okay to freely express our opinion of another human being without any regards to the effect it may hav...

I shared with you how I had my son leave my home because he's not in a good place right now. Yesterday he was sitting outside my home when I pulled up. I asked him why he was here - Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful he's okay but I can't be an enabler. He had a couple of reasons why he popped in, but I know the real one is that he thought no one would be home and he was hoping he could get in to eat, crash, and find something to sell at a pawn shop. As horrible as that sounds it's the reality of how a drug addict operates. ...
