Hope everyone is having a good week in blog world. Yesterday was a typical Monday at work. Extremely busy, people were not nice, I think that the world must have been extra grumpy because it was Monday. After a long day of nothing going the way it should, I finally made it home and my niece and sister in law came to eat supper with us and we ended up getting a hamper of peas, they stayed and helped us shell them(a big thanks to them). After the day it turn out to be a wonderful day and evening. With God showing his face in our family and in the conversations, and just to spend time with family.
We can find blessings in the good, bad, busy, and hard times if we just look.

This is for the ladies...
Subject: mermaid or whale
Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tanned woman appeared in the window of a gym... It said: ¨THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID, OR A WHALE? ¨A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern:
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life; they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins -stuffing themselves with shrimp and other delicacies of the sea. They play and swim in the oceans, seeing exotic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia... Whales are excellent singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of psychoanalysts due to an identity crisis. Fish or human? Human or fish? They can't have a sex life, because they kill the men they lure close to them. Therefore, they can't experience the joys of motherhood. They are purported to be exceedingly vain and capricious. Not only that, who wants to be near a girl who smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.
P.S: We are=2 0in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who still makes me shiver and a coffee with m y friends. With time, we gain weight, because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that, when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So, we aren't heavy; we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror, I will think, "Good gosh! Look how smart I am".

Wonderful Wednesday
Having a wonderful day. I enjoyed some time off work and them when I came back yesterday realized how much I really do, busy all day long. The blessings of having a job that you love to come to everyday is great. Despite having to work by myself each day I really realize how wonderfully lucky that I am.
I am a very blessed person with work, family, friends and most of all God.
As I am at my desk working watching the rain still fall, the cars pass, and the birds flutter in the flower bed is all small blessing from God and another sign of just how blessed we are.
Just simple rambles of life.
