Too funny!

After 2 bitter months without my computer I finally got it back this week; now I have a butt load of pictures to catch up on. Here's one that makes me giggle from Nashville (I actually stopped on a green so we could get this :))

Summer...

I love our camp!

Leafs Win the Cup!

I tried to email this to my sister the real Leafs fan but it didn't work. So here ya go....to ALL the Leafs fans and Julie of course!!

No Complaints

I'm gearing up to start a challenge with a few others here at school. The reason I need to "gear up" is because I'm scared to death to start. In theory the challenge sounds good and simple: don't complain for 21 days. A church in Kansas City, MO started this just over a year ago and to date over 4 million people have attempted living a complaint free life (well for at least 3 weeks). I'll get this purple bracelet and every time I complain I have to switch the bracelet to the other wrist and then start my 21 days all over again. I'll probably be doing this until Jesus returns. My problem is that my environment screams at me to complain, everyday I am surrounded by negativity that warrants legitimate complaining. I admit that I bring on some of that crap in the form of my own attitude. But what would 21 days of no complaining really mean...especially this time of year when the number of assignments is greater than the number of hours in the day??? For example, right now I am currently in a state of bitter complaining because I am attempting to write a paper in the computer lab and there is another guy in here that won't stop laughing at his screen!!! How annoying is that?!?!?! I just don't understand how people can be positive all the time-even the majority of the time. Perhaps there is a good lesson ahead.

For those intrested--here are the official rules:

Scientists believe it takes 21 days to form a new habit and complaining is habitual for most of us. As Twain said, we must coax our old behavior down the stairs. The bracelet(s) you receive are a powerful tool(s) to remind you of how well you are creating your life with positive intention. Here are the suggested rules:
1. Begin to wear the bracelet, on either wrist
2. When you catch yourself complaining, gossiping or criticizing (it’s ok, everyone does) move the bracelet to the other arm and begin again.
3. If you hear someone else who is wearing a bracelet complain, you may point out their need to switch the bracelet to the other arm; BUT if you’re going to do this, you must move your bracelet first!
4. Stay with it. It may take many months but when you reach 21 days you will find that your entire life is happier, more loving, more positive and more abundant.
