Poor and Rich Friends..It is All About How We Look at Things

Good Friday to you my friends! Welcome to the weekend!

I have a little something for you to think about. Luck has it, that this morning, my dad sent me yet another one of those emails that make you stop and think about things...more specific, life and how very lucky we all are. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I did and it gets your weekend started off on the right foot.

Have a wonderful day & enjoy your weekend!
Poor and rich friends

Thankful Thursday - Snow Days

Image
I am 100% convinced that I must have brought the Michigan weather along with me when I moved south, here to Ohio.  I was under the impression that southern Ohio has a much more mild climate and less snow. Well, I have yet to see proof of this. The idea of less snow really excited me! We have had almost as much snow as back in my hometown!   I would love to see warm and sunny weather every single day.  Perhaps, to experience that type of tranquility, I will need to move to a beautiful Caribbean island and sell hot dogs or ice cream on the beach. This is a thought that passes through my mind no less than five times a day in the winter. Like I mentioned before, January and February are the toughest months for me.  It is almost as if old man winter casts a spell of the nasty blahs and sadness on me.  Some days just tend to be worse than others.  I am seriously considering hibernating next winter. It may pose a problem for me considering that I don't like to lie around and sleep.  I

It Happened To Me Again!

I can't believe it happened to me again!  More brown bananas!  I certainly hope this is NOT a sign of things in my life turning bad and rotting.  The funny this is, I do not even eat bananas or things made with bananas very often because they are too sugary.  Yes, they taste good and I enjoy them, they just don't work out with my body being a Type 1. So, today, I decided to bake some banana crumb muffins with my lovely bananas.  As I was making my muffins and brainstorming for this post, I thought I would toss out a "Funny Fact" about me.  Are you ready for this one?  I am sure by now, you have picked up on the fact that I absolutely love baking and it brings me such happiness.  Yes, I know, I am a total cheese ball!  Well, the "Funny Fact" that I am revealing about myself is that I have this pipe dream to one day own my own bakery.  I worked in a bakery for almost two years and loved it!  The drawback was total lack of sleep.  So, rather than a retai

Things You Can Learn From a Seven Year Old...

First Day...not quite a smile Yesterday afternoon was our conference with Emma's teacher and I could not possibly be more proud!  I had no doubt in my mind what I would hear from her teacher when I sat across the table from her.  She is doing wonderful and on and on...music to my ears. This school year brought many new changes upon us.  First and foremost, moving to a new city, in a different state, far from anything we have ever known.  To me, this was a HUGE change to face.  This move also meant a new school for Emma.  I will admit 100% that I was terrified at the thought and even more worried about her having to begin a new school where there was not one familiar face awaiting as she set foot inside on that very first day.  To make me even more apprehensive, was the fact that she had to start this new school the following day after we moved to Cincinnati.  One more thing to add...her first day in school was actually the third week for the rest of the students.  This made m
