Why must we have memory enough to recall to the tiniest detail what happend to us, and
not enough to remember how many times we have told it to the same person.

You've got me on this one....lol

"Success in marriage is much more than finding the right person;
it is a matter of being the right person...''

My thought on this is "it's hard to be the right person if you're married to the wrong person."

Gary Coleman died today at 42

I remember watching "Different Strokes" in the 1980's and thinking how adorable this
little guy was.  Loved it when he said "Whatchoo talkin bout, Willis?"

RIP Gary Coleman
         "Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry for help;
          do not be silent at my tears."  (Psalm 39:12)

My journaling of this psalm. 

My belief is that God always sees my tears and knows when I need help.  He will
never forsake me.  He's always there. He's there for you too.  Just reach out....he will
reach back.

"Five seagulls are sitting on a dock.  One of them decides to fly away.  How many seagulls are left?

"Well...four, right?" 

"No, there are still five.  Deciding to fly away and actually flying away are two very different things."

There is absolutely no power in intention.                                

The seagull may intend to fly away, may decide to do so, may talk with the other seagulls about how wonderfull it is to fly, but until the seagull flaps his wings and takes to the air, he is still on the dock. 
There is no difference between that gull and all the others.

Likewise, there is no difference in the person who intends to do things and the one who never thinks about it in the first place. 

Intention without action is an insult to those who expect the best from us...

This message comes from a book I've read by Andy Andrews called "The Noticer."
Andy Andrews is a well known motivational speaker and author.  This book made me very emotional and it spoke volumes to me.

If I can only harness these valuable lessons and apply them in my life, I could be a much better person.
I'm trying...

I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs a different perspective in their life.
