I have this odd pain. It's right in front of my stomach. It's more of an ache when I move my upper body. It's right below my chest, right in front my stomach. Already said that.... um.. yeah, it's annoying to say the least. Just started hurting when I got up to go walk across the office. Thought maybe I got up wrong or something. I can sort of feel it if I breath in deeply too. Hope it goes away.

3:15 pm - TRIUMPH - Fight The Good Fight
|
I ran across this song on my Zune.. part of Supernatural soundtrack/playlist. :P Anyways... it's a really good song, good enough to make me look it up.
YouTube Video
Triumph - Fight The Good Fight
The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do
CHORUS:
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way
All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can
You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart
CHORUS

9:44 am - Found once again...
|
Knowing me, I probably posted this before, but as I continue to go through filed emails, I came across this and decided to post again.
Just for today I will try to live through this day only,
And not tackle my whole life problem at once.
I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me,
If I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy.
This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said,
"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is,
And not try to adjust everything to my own desires.
I will take my luck as it comes and fit myself to it.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind.
I will study, I will learn something useful.
I will not be a mental loafer,
I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways:
I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out.
If anybody knows of it, it will not count.
I will do at least two things I don't want to do just for exercise.
I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt.
They may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable,
I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly,
Talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit,
Not find fault with anything,
And not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.

9:39 am - Forward from sis
|
The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without
murmuring and complaining.
He reminds me that He is my source and not my job.
He restores my sanity every day and guides my decisions
that I might honor Him in all that I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system
crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping
co-workers, discriminating supervisors and an aging body
that doesn't cooperate every morning, I still will not stop---
for He is with me! His presence, His peace, and His power
will see me through.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.
He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens
to let me go. His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check.
His retirement plan beats any 401k there is!
When it's all said and done, I'll be working for Him a whole lot longer
and for that, I BLESS HIS NAME!!

They say death happens in 3's, I never understood why they say that. But it's sad to hear about 3 great people (all in their own way) have passed away this week.
Ed McMahon (born in Detroit) 1923-2009, age 86
Farrah Fawcett, 1947-2009, age 62
Michael Jackson, 1958-2009, age 50 (His infamous white sequin glove and hat from Thriller is on display at Hitsville, USA in Detroit)

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital. She timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"
The operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number of the patient?"
The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, "Norma Findlay, Room 302."
The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse's station for that room."
After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, "I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal and her
physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow.
The grandmother said, Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the good news."
The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"
The grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me s**t."

11:33 am - Qualifications
|
*In a Purdue college classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States.
It was pretty simple - the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.
However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president..
The class was taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, 'What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?'
Yep, these are the same 18 year olds that just elected the new President of the United States.

8:00 am - I’m Right; You Must Be Wrong
|
May 22, 2009
Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. —Luke 6:37
My friend Ria admires the great blue heron’s amazing 6-foot spread of wings and marvels at his majestic appearance. She welcomes the sight of him gliding in for a landing on a small island in the middle of the pond near her home.
Now, I can appreciate that the heron is a marvelous and unique creature. But I don’t ever want to spot him in my backyard! That’s because I know he won’t be there just to admire the garden. No, this not-so-fine-feathered version of persona non grata (someone not welcome) will be checking out our pond for a take-out fish dinner!
So, am I right? Or is Ria? Why can’t we agree? Different personalities, history, or knowledge can color people’s views. It doesn’t mean that one person is right and the other wrong, yet sometimes we can be unkind, rigid, and judgmental if there is not agreement. I’m not talking about sin—but just a difference in opinion or perspective. We need to take care in judging others’ thinking, motives, and actions because we too desire that kind of benefit of the doubt (Luke 6:37).
Can we learn from someone who sees things with a different perspective? Do we need to practice a little patience and love? I’m so grateful that God is abundantly patient and loving with me. —Cindy Hess Kasper
You’ve been so patient with us, Lord,
Though we are slow to hear;
Give us the grace to show such love
To those we hold so dear. —K. De Haan
A little love can make a big difference.

10:05 am - Words to live by....
|
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o' clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.
As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. I love it,' he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
Mr. Bell, you haven't seen the room; just wait.' 'That doesn't have anything to do with it,' he replied. Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. 'It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful
for the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories!
Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank. I am still depositing. 'Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

What's the use of posting a "protected" entry if no one can read it?? This is utter nonsense.
Found out earlier that I do, indeed, have a LJ. Yay! I've been exploring it a bit more. Of course, it was sorta filled by the fangirl side of me... but whatever. I'll work on "backing up" this shitty Blurty to there in the mean time. Although, I am surprised with how much more LJ offers... can one really post video's directly onto the site instead of a link??
I also have (or can) set up a Blogger through my gmail account. Not sure if I want to use it though. That seems to be a bit more.. grown up. Idk. Right now I'm leaning more to LJ, I just need more time to explore and play around. I also like how LJ gives the options of security levels... Blogger seems to be all or nothing...
Anyways, I'm still hoping Blurty can get it's act together, and fast.
current mood:  contemplative
