Self improvement

I'm trying to improve my mood, my habits, and my health. I've decided that I really need to learn more about my job, in able to be better at it. I need to find some kind of passion for furniture, the passion that I have for jewelry, flowers, my home etc. I am going to try reading about it and may learn that way to appreciate it a bit more. If I'm better at it, its going to improve my mood hopefully and I let all my coworkers know today that I want to be nicer and not as cranky and whiny..so they are supposed to shake a finger at me or something if I get mouthy,.we'll see how tht goes. I also need a bit more time to just relax. It seems tht ever since my two heart attacks in 2005 that I have filled every minute of every day and just never take time to sit and read a book or relax anymore. So from 9 pm at night is my time from 9 to 11. Time to watch tv, read a book, soak in the tub whatever..but something. Which means I better get off here now and go run the sweeper or something. LOL

In Memory

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!””Gone where?”Gone from my sight.
That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: ‘Here she comes!”
And that is dying.
Henry Van Dyke

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT Author unknown
