Words will stick...

Has anybody ever said something to you and it was stuck in your mind forever, especially if it was said to you earlier in life? I once had an eighth grade science teacher that I actually thought was a bit peculiar. Then one day he said something in his lecture that I carry with me today and someday I will even tell my kids. He said, "Don't you get it, you are never going to be praised for your achievments, it's your neglects you will be critizied for"! I bet this is something that many of us are guilty of. As long as things are smooth we are content but just as soon as something is out of order or left undone it is quickly noticed. I guess I just felt like I needed to write this because we need to remind ourselves to step back, take a breath and remember to thank somebody for something they did whether it be a comment, a favor, a shoulder or even an everyday task. We all get caught up in the flow of things and easily become ungreatful without knowing it and this is something that I want to change in my life. So you see kids, there are other things that you will get out of going to school, other than learning how to take a test at the end of the year. So keep your ears open and you too just might pick up a few words of wisdom from your teacher...then you should remember to thank her.

Dinner Time Conversations

Hannah: Daddy do you like oranges?

Robert: No, not really...I never have.

Rachel: Daddy, that is extremely rude God worked hard to create those oranges for you!

These are the things in life I just want to bottle up! I think I am going to create a section just for Rachel sayings...LOL!
