Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

From The Corner Of My Mind

* The weather is warm for December. Weird. That will change tomorrow I hear. Cooler temps are on the way, and possible snow or cold rain on Christmas day.
* This morning at 4:30 am I was laying in bed awake. I woke up with a scratchy throat due to allergies. The phone started ringing and it startled me. No one ever calls that early. It was our SIT (soldier in training). He is scheduled to arrive at DFW on a 6:15pm flight today. Apparently the US Army decided that they needed to get ready a day early. He said they made them clear their bunks and store their lockers except for what they were taking on leave with them. The Soldiers had sat in the hall all night and were taken to the airport at 4am. We tried to catch him an earlier flight but they were all booked up and full. Last I heard he was on standby for the earlier flight, but it was full. W-spouse and I will get to see him this evening. He will be here till January 3rd and then he's off to Hawaii !!
* We had a great weekend in Houston giving David a surprise 50th Birthday party. It took a lot of effort, but we kept it from him right up till party time. The look on his face was priceless when he saw everyone there. He kept repeating "You got me".
* Happy Birthday to Kathleen. I hope you have a wonderful day!
* We have a lot of Christmas going on this weekend.
* We took the grand babies to ICE last week. It was cold and fun.
* We also took them to the Rainforest Cafe after ICE. They loved all the animals and sounds until they were standing very near the Tigers, and they roared/growled. Both the girls took off running and screaming.
* Towing around 2 two year old kids isn't easy.
* Come to think of it, towing around 1 two year old isn't easy.
* W-baby mom and Madison rode to Houston with us over the weekend and Madison was a trooper. She hardly ever got fussy down there and back.
* I need to run, see ya Around The Corner!
