It's so hard in our culture where every ad screams "you deserve it! You're #1! etc. etc. etc. A favorite (small) book of mine is called "The Treasure Principle" by Randy Alcorn and I highly recommend it. I love your blog and your purple hair~~well it will make for good story telling! We who color our hair all have stories...maybe not with your results but results nonetheless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1140752521330913002006-02-23T22:42:00.000-05:002006-02-23T22:42:00.000-05:00you are gorgous - purple hair or no, inside & out....you are gorgous - purple hair or no, inside & out.<BR/><BR/>sad to say, we don't have kids. but i can teel you right now that the Husband works swing shift, and the biggest joy in my life is coming home to a peaceful apartment. no hearing about the stress about his job, no complaining, just peace.<BR/><BR/>it doesn't mean i don't love him. nor that i miss him either, he's just one one those guys that has a very high stree level and (like the rest of his family) is a touch of a Drama Queen.<BR/><BR/>sometimes i feel like perhaps that this is the reason why the Lord hasn't blessed us with kids, because the Hubs is high maintenance.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530766193268054815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1140727199514692962006-02-23T15:39:00.000-05:002006-02-23T15:39:00.000-05:00seems like there's a lot of thinking about the fra...seems like there's a lot of thinking about the fragility of life lately. I blogged about it yesterday due to tara whitney's post on the 21st.<BR/><BR/>in other news... your hair looks GREAT!<BR/><BR/>sleep is my best friend and worst enemy. it still irks me how I have to teach my kids to sleep. #2 took the longest to learn and we're all much happier because of it.<BR/>when i don't get enough sleep my brain is like oatmeal and no amount of chocolate or coke can help.<BR/><BR/>there's a saint who said something to the effect of this... now is not the time for sleeping, there's too much for us to do. our true rest will be in heaven.<BR/>I hate when I read a quote and write it down and then can't find where I've written it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1140708482091810552006-02-23T10:28:00.000-05:002006-02-23T10:28:00.000-05:00..."True contentment means asking less of this lif......"True contentment means asking less of this life because more is coming in the next." That is my very favorite quote.<BR/><BR/>I equate one hour of sleep with....one hour of sleep. I can't replace it. If I dont get it then I just dont get it. My heaven here on earth is getting up early, making coffee, finding out no one used all the vanilla creme and playing yahoo spades with people I dont know! <BR/><BR/>One other thing. I never ever ever get to be by myself at home. There is always someone else there. It's like a conspiracy. If one leaves, one comes. It never fails. If I come home and no one else is there I feel like I am in a piece of heaven. You know how when there is a ray of sunshine coming through the window and you can see all the dust swirling around in it! I just stand there and watch it for a few minutes :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
