Starting Over

I started a blog back in 2009 by the same name.  Thing's came up and things went down.  My account with google didn't disappear but my blog is in the O-Zone somewhere.   I am working on starting it again..  WOW what have I missed!!!!  Where to begin AGAIN????   I hope to be back where I was soon.  I was on a wonderful web site called "CLUB MOM" joined it in 1996 and had so many GREAT friends from coast to coast.  Club Mom decided to change the name to Cafe Mom (with a lot of changes and deleting members to get the audience they preferred more than just simple Moms that wanted to share their photos and ideas to raise their kiddos in a simple promising way)  and went to the TOP and has been on ABC-CBS-NBC TV.. and they just shut down CLUB MOM down.  A lot of those Moms from C/M decided to go to face book to keep in touch and we still do. 

I am now ready to get back to my blog and finding  friends that enjoy life as I do and have the same interest as I do..
 God Bless........  ~Big Hugs & Lotsa Luv~

Mayonnaise Jar & Two Cups of Coffee

Mayonnaise Jar & Two Cups of Coffee

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Cups of Coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes." The professor then produced two Cups of Coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed. "Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, yourhealth, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full."

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else---the small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, "I'm glad you asked. The Coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a Cup of Coffee with a friend."
