Welcome to my blog. I will post whatever I am working on, whether it be a creative writing piece, random blip that has made my day, or an opinion I would like to share with the world. I hope that you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!

I started this years ago, and am seeing if I want to make it into an author's blog.


Remember, today is not simply something to get through, but something to treasure. So smile and enjoy it!!!

10 Things That Irritate Me

I love life as much as the next person, but sometimes you need to let out your frustration over the small things in order to stay sane.  Here are the top 10 things that irritate me (that I can think of off of the top of my head; I know there are more).

1)  People

2)  Whenever the sun finds the perfect spot to reflect ever so blindingly on the window/mirror of the car in front of you on the road.

3)  When you walk through a cob web and just KNOW that there is now a spider crawling somewhere on your body and begin to feel it everywhere.

4)  People who do not prof reD BEFOUR EMALING OR POSTING ON THE INTERNETS.

4)  When the guy driving behind you on the highway crawls up your butt with his high beams on, flooding your car with light making it impossible to see ANYTHING.

6)  People who park on the street, especially on a narrow street or on a curve/bend where driving around them endangers YOUR life.

7)  When people who ordered their food in a restaurant AFTER me, receive their food BEFORE me.

8)  When the previews misrepresent a movie, especially when they show ALL of the funny parts in 30 seconds of the summer's best "comedy."

9)  That I can only thing of 9 things that irritate me for a list I already named "10 Things That Irritate Me," but will think of more as SOON as I publish this.

A Special Person


THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL
PERSON,

AN HOUR TO
APPRECIATE THEM, 

A DAY
TO LOVE THEM,

BUT THEN,

AN ENTIRE LIFE TO FORGET THEM.

Tips to Follow:

Even if you are not spiritual, the rest of these are good rules to live by: 

1.  Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself.  Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns.
If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut).  This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a spiritually enlightening book with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot.
 Try to nip small problems in the bud.  Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus .'
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.  GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.
