I have not slept one wink......
Why oh why is it so difficult to go to sleep? Shut the worries out for the day, turn down the needs for tomorrow and ignore reality for just a few hours? Too many worries, tasks, needs, and desires to shut out.....what is one to do?
Ambien...oh what a wonderful thing....
helps me sleep.....which makes my heart sing!!!
Who ever invented the magic that turns the brain off....I thank. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a regular user. But when things get too bad, and I haven't had a good nights sleep for almost a week. I am all for the relief that comes from being comatose. It rejuvenates and puts your thinking back to square one. Thanks ambien! Hope to see you again next week!

Par loves Happy Bottom!!!
It never ceases to amaze me ...how much I have to learn. How many opportunities are slipping though my fingers every day. There aren't too many 40 year-olds that can boast to having exceptional grandparents still living. Yes you read that right...my GRANDparents. I want to share a story about my grandparents that I learned just a few weeks ago, one that I should probably have known for years.
My grandfather "Par" was a fighter pilot in the Air Force for many years, something I am extremely proud of!!
I have seen different planes that he has flown throughout my life, heard a few of the stories he has shared.....and loved every memory he has shared! Par married his highschool sweetheart Gladys, but we call her "Marme". She is a classy, talented, caring, and most wonderful person. To know Marme and Par .....is to love them. You can't possibly know them without loving them!
Par flew some amazing planes. The one I most recently learned about was named "Happy Bottom" ....amazingly enough it is just another name for "Glad A$$". I didn't know this --until just recently. Par never flew with out Marme right beside him! Their example of love and dedication to each other even today is an amazing thing to behold. What a great legacy they have given to me. Thank you!! I love you both.

Amazing People!!
It is so great to know amazing people. People who are always willing to lend a hand!! People who come to the rescue, step up to the plate, and those who just seem to know when help is needed!
I love that the world is made up of so many different people with so many differing strengths. You know who you are!! You know what you do -well most of the time. I don't seem to always take the time to spell out my gratitude to others for all they do for me (and my family). But I truly feel blessed that my Heavenly Father has sent so many wonderful people into my life to look after me....to pick up the pieces when the going gets tough.
Life is hard....I think it is best that way. What growth is there when we don't have to stretch. Thank you to all my friends and loved ones....for all you do to make my life a little better each day. I just hope I can offer to others, a little bit of all that I receive from you! You are amazing!! You know who you are ---and if you don't ---I am truly sorry for not fulfilling my part by letting you know more often!
I love you!! Thanks for being a bit of sunshine on my cloudy days!!
Love, Mimi

OK!! So New Year!! New Goals!!
Good Heavens - - how the time flies! I can't believe I haven't been on here for sooooooo long. But this year I am going to do better! I know even if posts are short they are better than none at all!!
I want everyone to know how gratefull I am to a loving Heavenly Father who watches out for me and my loved ones. I am gratefull for answered prayers, and unanswered ones too. I am humbled to know my Heavenly Father knows me so well, He knows what is best and sees to it my needs for growth are met.
Here is to a great start to what is going to be a great year! I can just feel it!!
