Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centerted; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish,ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you could spend years building, someone could destory overnight; Build anyway. If you find Serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tommorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis. it is between you and your higher power; it is never between you and them ANYWAY.

Just think.....

You're here not by chance,
but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you
and made you
the person you are.
He compares you to no one else--
you are one of a kind.
You are lack nothing
that His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here
at this time in history
to fulfill His special purpose
for this generation.

Being happy doesn't mean everything 's perfect.
It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.

TAKE A MOMENT TO REMEMBER HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE AND HOW LUCKY THE WORLD IS TO HAVE YOU IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dance as if no one
is watching,

Sing as if no one
were listening,

And live everyday
as if it were your LAST.

where do I start...

Well, it's now April mid April to be exact... Life flies by! I have been clean and sober for 9 months and counting Still blows my mind and makes me sad at times on how much of my life I wasted on drugs. But sometimes you have to fall flat on your face before you get it!
   August, turned 8 in march and is growing up too fast I think any Momma would say that about her baby! And I also had a birthday in March too 38 and still kicking'... I can't believe this school year is getting close to an end a month and a half left. Crazy!
 Three months ago I started seeing a psychologist so I could get my head on straight. The depression and anxiety were kicking my butt and I mean hard. I hate to be sad and so nervous that I felt like I was having a heart attack. but with a few changes I medicine and adding a couple of new ones life is getting better. It's been hard for me to find my new "normal" after doing drugs for 20 years or that's what my therapist tells me.
  Troy is doing great still struggles with his anxiety but is so much better at coping with it. Very proud of him he's a great man and I wish I could be more like him in the forgiveness department!!!
  The reason I haven't been better about keeping up with this is that I am working a lot, got bite by the face book bug or better yet told to be quit being a baby and start one up again. Plus I got a stupid cell phone after not having on for 10 years...crap the phone is smarter then me :) but really that's it we are all just getting through life day by day with the Lords help and each other!
   Hope everyone has a safe and blessed Easter too :)

Just Gingerbreadin'

Oh, Man all these kids are growing up too fast!! I can remember the first time we did this Breckan was barely two and wore the cutest footy pajamas to the gathering. Usually Gena and I do this in the morning and have donuts and then decorate but over the years times have changed and we just make sure we MAKE it happen. Yes, I was the one who iced poor Aidan and Lanta's house that is why it has a "sunroof"!!! I swear there is never enough icing in those kits anyways!  Aidan made me feel better he hugged me and told me it was OK he still loved me... sweet boy!!
