Another sleepless night with my snoring till the cows come home husband. I do I do believe in separate beds and maybe even separate rooms just so that I could get some good night sleep. Before kids it was all good. Then you have babies that woke up every 2 hours or so. Then it was sick or “I see a monster” late nights. Then its “if you don’t go to sleep I’m gonna… (fill in your blank). Now its snoring till the morning comes home with Foghorn Furlough!!! I say I say Waaaaaaahhhhh!¡
Life is a gift!!!

Positive Inspirational Quotes ( PIQ)
“Response-Abilty” (from Kirk Weisler)
In response to last week’s post “Responsibility & Meaning of Life” came this response from Wendy.
I look at the kids coming out of school right now (ages 18-24) and wonder what happened to teaching accountability… I hate to see our workplace in 10-15 years with the lack of accountability that they have – they are just in a “I don’t care” attitude all the time, it’s heart breaking some days. They don’t get that their performance, attitude, taking care of their customer – all equals their pay check. Their attitude is “oh well, if you fire me I will just go somewhere else and be mediocre there”…
While I personally see these attitudes and attributes in a much wider demographic than ages 18-24… I share her concern with the future of any society that doesn’t succeed in teaching accountability(and living it).
So the question before us is this – “What is the best way to teach personal responsibility?
Daniel Burns from Australia posted a comment on Kirk’s FB page that led him to his FB page …and to this photo. It was cool enough and true enough that I was hoping that it might serve as an expression of thanks from me to you
We were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is that things are being loved and people are being used.
So let nothing or NO-thing create chaos in your life. Do what you were created to do… love and lead…and lead with love.

Gossips
Gossips are worse than thieves because they steal another person’s dignity, honor, reputation and credibility which are impossible to restore.
So remember this: when your feet slip, you can always recover your balance; but when your tongue slips, you cannot recover your words. Author Unknown

A Pencil Maker Told The Pencil 5 Important Lessons Just Before Putting It In The Box:
1.) Everything You Do Will Always Leave A Mark.
2.) You Can Always Correct The Mistakes You Make.
3.) What Is Important Is What Is Inside Of You.
4.) In Life, You Will Undergo Painful Sharpenings, Which Will Only Make You Better.
5.) To Be The Best Pencil, You Must Allow Yourself To Be Held And Guided By The Hand That Holds You.
We all need to be constantly sharpened. This parable may encourage you to know that you are a special person, with unique God-given talents and abilities. Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed and, like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are, is what’s inside of you and then allow yourself to be guided by the hand of God.
Something to think about
Life is truly beautiful when we know we have made a difference. No matter how small or insignificant that difference might seem to you, for the one receiving it, it could mean the world. The smallest gestures sometimes mean the most. -Anita Papas
“Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you – not because they are nice, but because you are.” – Unknown
“Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” – Unknown
“Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It’s OK to fail. If you’re not failing, you’re not growing.” – Anne Sullivan
” When life gives you 100 reason to CRY, show life that you have 1000 reason to SMILE. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.”-Emmanuel Tiwo

I Remember 9/11 Very Well
2,997 people died. 411 people risked their lives to save others. At least 200 people jumped or fell to their deaths. 2 beautiful buildings destroyed. 246 people got on an airplane and never got to see their families again. PAST this in honor to everyone that lost their life on 9-11 ♥ (Thank you Imani for these numbers)
September 11, 2001, Rachel was 5 days old. She came 4 days early. My mom was to arrive September 10th but her flight was grounded for 2 hours already and they gave the customers an option to wait it out or take the next flight out on September 11th. She decided to wait the next day because it was already late that day. That morning I woke up with Rachel by my side and the TV was on. On the TV I saw smoke coming from a tower then a plane crashing into the other. I asked my husband, “what movie is that?” I thought it was the movie “Die Hard”. He said he didn’t know then we heard the news announce that the Twin Towers were being attacked!! Say What?!?! I must be delirious because waking up every 2 hours or so to nurse the baby can do that to you. Nope, it was real and I was reaching for the phone. My mom was due to arrive that day and the departure time was near. The phone lines were tied up. My heart beating a little fast right now. Friends were calling me to see if my mom was okay but I hadn’t heard from her yet. I finally heard from her and she was safe. Thank you Lord!! She hadn’t left yet because she was waiting for my dad to come home from work (graveyard shift). He had just gotten off the subways before the terror began. Hallelujah!! Thank God for their safety. But so very sad for those who lost their lives and for their families and who’s to say that it was all over? My mom didn’t make it down until a couple of months later. She was too freaked out to get on a plane. I don’t blame her. I will never forget!!! Thank you to all of the heroes out there. God Bless America!!
