What a wild ride!


Life is like a roller coaster....It has its ups.

It has it downs.

And sometimes you just hang on and try not to puke!

Mr. Wonderful and I are currently just hanging on. God is faithful and it seems like the solution is very simple. The situation is entirely out of our hands but will definitely affect us either way.

We would appreciate your prayers for a quick resolution.

What I learned yesterday!


1. If you do enough " dreading" in advance of an event, no matter what goes wrong you won't be surprised!

2. A column of numbers in pounds never converts to kilo's the way you think it should.....no matter how many calculators you use.

3. The "domino effect" is very dramatic in an overly stacked warehouse.

4. Being pulled away from a job, always makes it harder to jump right back into it.

5. Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada.....(I was thankful when the day ended today!)

6. I admire people who can crunch numbers together and get them to come out right!

7. I get TBI (tiny bit irritated ) at co-workers who think out loud when I am involved in another project and trying to concentrate.

8. No matter how long I've been married to Mr. Wonderful I still need him to use words to convey what he wants me to do, ( I can't read his thoughts which is probably a good thing today!)

9. A bad attitude seldom gets better when stressed and overly tired.

10. Columbus wasn't the only person who made a discovery today.....I discovered a pink plastic flamingo bud vase on my desk this morning!

11. Melli thinks "the dreads" refers to my new hairdo.

12. Question: What do dreadlocks and pink plastic flamingo's have in common? Answer: They both get repeated in the morning!

13. A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to come unraveled.

5 Lessons for Life


God teaches me something every day. Most of the time it takes me at least 24 hours to discern what the lesson was and whether I passed the test or failed it miserably. If I failed, I know that I will see this test again in some other form.

The following is a list by Marian Wright Edelman that I really liked.

5 Lessons for Life

  1. Keep your word and your commitments.
  2. Don't look for favors-count on earning them.
  3. Watch out for success-it can be more dangerous than failure.
  4. Do what you say, say what you mean, and be what you seem.
  5. Tell the truth-especially to yourself.
