Where Does Your Glass Stand?

It has been an interesting couple of days.

Tuesday I woke up to the brakes in my car sounding terrible, scary actually.  So I took my car to the shop on Wednesday and found out my rotor had completely snapped.  Thanks to Bobby Deal and his team they got me up and running.

Following that I got myself in an accident.  I hit a lady on the back right side of her car. Everybody was A ok and that is the important thing. However, at the time I did not see it that way.  I cried and thought "are you kidding me" I just got my car out of the shop.

On a much lesser note I attempted to make Homemade pizza on Tuesday and burnt it and all I could do was pout.

It is needless to say I have my priorities way out line.  In a previous post I talked about your glass being half full, and lately my attitude has been half empty.

The Lesson Learned:  Life is full of ups and downs its all about how you handle them.  Laugh when your pizza burns, thank God when everybody is ok after a wreck and for those who have been given the skill to fix broken parts.  Most importantly thank God for those around you who love you and hug you and say it is gonna be fine.

Maya  Angelou said this:
'I've learned that  no matter what happens, or how bad it seems  today, life does go on, and it will be  better tomorrow.'

'I've learned that you  can tell a lot about a person by the way  he/she handles these three things: a rainy day,  lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree  lights.'

'I've learned that regardless  of your relationship with your parents,  you'll miss them when they're gone from  your life.'

'I've learned that making a  'living' is not the same thing as 'making a  life.'

'I've learned that life sometimes  gives you a second chance.'

'I've  learned that you shouldn't go through life with  a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to  be able to throw some  things back...'

'I've learned that  whenever I decide something with an open  heart, I usually make the right  decision.'

'I've learned that even  when I have pains, I don't have to be  one.'

'I've learned that every day  you should reach out and touch someone. People  love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on  the back...'

'I've learned that  I still have a lot to  learn...'

'I've learned that people  will forget what you said, people will  forget what you did, but people will never  forget how you made them feel.'



The Pizza before it burned - Look how Good it looks, you would have pouted too :) 


Here we are going down the road this morning looking like the bat mobile with my light sticking up. 


Have a great DAY!!!

Oh Happy Days

Earlier at work while we were slaving over a pile of deliveries we got, something encouraged us to break into song... If you have never seen sister act, do that tonight! 


We did not have quite the soul but it was just as entertaining

YOU GOTTA HAVE FAITH!  - This seems to be a recurring message in my life.  
Crosspoint talked about it last week and my Daily Word talk about it today.  Maybe I am starting to catch the hint.  So often we try and put things in our own hands and wonder why they always slips through our fingers.  We must make an attempt everyday to give up all of our worries, all of our concerns - They don't have to be ours.  


If you have faith and do not doubt ... even if you say to this mountain, "Be lifted up and thrown into the sea," it will be done.--Matthew 21:21

All Play and No Work

Well that is not entirely true.  We started the day off with some work.
However, on January 6, 2010 my Boss decided to have a Day O Fun, team building experience or just and excuse to act like a kid again... So we did.

And Loved it!

We were welcomed by a driver... I began to think "Are we gonna drink on this day out?" Neat..



He tried to say it quietly but when there is a surprise in the air I am all ears - I heard him say "We are going to the foundry"

This is an old stove factory that has been transformed into this really neat restaurant and shopping venue.

We had lunch at Saffire - I am sure our waitress thought we were nuts but needless to say we were all in a very good mood.

It was following this nothing but delicious meal that Joel dropped the bomb on us.. We are painting pottery.  
And so we did




We are still now sure where Joel got the motivation for this one.. 


Josh - Well he is just a suck up :) 


Jason painted a cat for his little girl! It actually turned out better than expected. 


And this here is mine.. My contribution to the Kitchen
A fish bowl mixing bowl


Joels Finished product - again Questionable...




All this hard work got us hungry for desert.  So what is more perfect on a cold day than Ice Cream?
It was off to Sweet CeCe's for a bowl of Oh so Good, Yogurt :)

And what a great day it was.
See ya Soon!

We are Nashville

It's true and I have never been more proud to be a Nashvillian until I saw this video my good friend Stevie sent to me. It actually brought tears to my eyes.

I was very fortunate but so many were not.  We should all continue to pray for those who were affected and continue to lend a helping hand.

I am not as upset about the media coverage as this video portrays however, its does make me proud that we are all working so hard to Save Nashville.

Enjoy - We are Nashville
