Just coffee for me.
Everyone makes mistakes and to err is human to forgive divine.

I heard this once and it really applies to you Jan:

"I don't so much remember what someone says to me as much as how they make me feel."

99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the time
you are all about making people feel like they matter and that is what is important.
You truly seek to understand which is Lisa's and my favorite prayers (or one of them)

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Morning JC and Pauli. Not very hungry this am so I will stick to the coffee.

JC - I didn't see your post yesterday so no worries on my part. We are human and we all make mistakes. I know I make them every day!! You are one of the most kind hearted people I know.

Pauli- such a beautiful prayer. I remember it was very popular in my church when I was younger. Thank you for sharing it with us. And it is so true that we may not remember what someone said, but we always remember how they made us feel.

I don't have much planned for the day. Just resting as always. Seems like all I ever do anymore. But gotta do what ya gotta do. Im gonna try to take a nap here in a bit and if my throat is still bothering me, I might go to the docs. It's been 3 days and I don't want it to turn into something major.

I hope you all have a superb day.

Good morning Pauli..

Thank you..I love the preyer of St Francis..
Good guideline for living.

Thanks for your kind words and support.

You didn't mention..How are you?

Hugs..

Good morning, Jenna..
I know it's discouraging..but..try to RELAX with your rest...
I've had a bit of practice with this, too..
It makes for better rest if we release expectations..
Anyone else..and the ones we place on ourselves.
Hugs, kiddo..:-) :-) :-)
Good song..:-)

good morning everyone, I have a doctors appt. in about an hour so I'll just have coffee too. I remember singing the prayer of St.Francis when I was little, love it

Good morning, Blooming..:-)
Hope your appointment is productive.


Dang..I slaved over a hot keyboard for seconds to put out a lovely selection..( that's right, Heather...selection.:-) :-) :-) of cyber-breakfast..and..no one eats....:-) :-) :-)

Is there any Special K with red berries out on the buffet?
If so, I would love a bowl.

I wonder why the box says 'red berries". They look like strawberries but it doesn't say. It just seems it would say strawberries.

yeah I have a lot on my mind. haha

Ha! You STILL haven't said how you are...:-) :-) :-)

Cereal, really? ... sigh...why do I bother..?

I am ok. If I think about it too hard it seems like I feel worse.

I wanted to thank everyone who commented on the prayer and say good morning to everyone.
jan maybe I will be able to say how I feel one day. Thanks for asking.

You say or don't say whatever you want, hun..I'm just teasing.
It's nice to have you here..
I'll get you some redberry cereal..:-)
Hugs

Good morning / evening everyone!

Oooh, Bagles and coffee sound great. Thanks for the spread JC. Yesterday was erased and today is a do-over! This CP keeps us all on edge. But it is awesome that we can all be here for each other.

Hope everyone got some sleep. It's like one of those games where you are always trying to catch the little "sucker", called sleep in my game, and it keeps getting away.

Pauline, love the prayer this a.m. very good way to address life.

Thanks for the song Jenna. Hope you are able to get that rest.

Blooming hope the doctors visit is productive.

I am finally walking some. Very hard to get any work done, but walking without screaming from the knives in every single joint and falling down is an accomplishment. With all these bruises, I look like I have been practicing in one of those Rocky shows! Anyway, one inch at a time.

Wishing all a pleasant day with my good memories. Hugs-RJ

Good Morning Jan & All!

I just got up and am on my first cup of coffee. Not sure how I'm feeling but that could be a good sign.

Seems many of us have been in alot of pain lately so I hope and pray for a low pain day for us all!

In this weather, it's probably not a good idea to be cooking on your keyboard jc. Just sayin'........... xoxo

good morning, all! jan, i certainly don't want all slaving to go to waste - i'm having buckwheat/blueberry pancakes and bacon and a blood orange, grapefruit salad...thank you very much!!! mmm, good and warm!

sorry DS is being pretty extreme. as pauli says you're very encouraging 99.....% very pretty prayer pauli. i hadn't seen that in a long time. i'd like to post that today, ok?

wishing all low pain and peace today. =)
hoping i won't be as sore from my stroll on monday.

Good morning, ladies..

Rj..yeh..I missed the sleep train last night..I hate the sleep game..:-) :-) ..Good to here that you're walking..Pace..:-) I'll be glad to spend the day with your good memories..mine are kinda old..:-) :-) :-) :-)

Gr8ful..
You got all the way to coffee without KNOWING it's a bad day...!!!
That's a good sign..:-)
Ah, well..cooking on the keyboard probably couldn't make my typing any worse than it is...and I can delete instead of clean..:-) :-)

Serenity..
FINALLY..someone who appreciates a good home-keyed meal..:-)
I don't think DS was harsh..they could've suspended..or..given how rude I was..banned ..me.
I'm not concerned with second chances..y'all know yesterday is not my nature..
As I've said elsewhere..it was just a perfect storm of a morning for me to be an ass...I don't expect to repeat the stupidity.
I hope your stroll has released it's grip on you, too.


Hmm.seems like..maybe..there's a little teeny bit of an up-tick in how folks are feeling?

Oooor..we're putting on our cowgirl faces today..:-) :-) :-)

Good morning all!
JC...I totally agree with everyone. It's all good...everyone has their breaking point.

Ohh...I almost forgot...I finally got my research project done and graded....98%!!!! Woohoo!! I am shocked! That paper took me sooo long to do and I was sure I would get a C at best! Thank God my daughter helped me!! It was funny yesterday with her boyfriend over...poor soul tried to teach me fractions, proper, inproper, mixed, etc... Yeah, I just don't get it, or even care for that matter!!! But I have to get the unit done then move on to reimbursements then pharmacology...now that I know quite a bit about!! LOL!!

Today will be one of my "mom" duty days. Older daughter has singing, younger one, dance of course and hubby is on12 hrs from 3am to 3pm. So he is understandably tired and grumpy.

Hope everyone has a great day!
