Fall threw up in my house
Although it is 90 degrees here, it's September and it was time to bust out the fall decorations up in here. The house looks and feels very festive. Today I am watching football, relaxing, and thinking about making some popcorn. I made Steven and I a yummy strawberry, banana, blueberry smoothie today and ooo man was it goooood. I am meeting a client at 3:00 today so I better go prepare. :) Gooooo Seahawks.

Something to consider
At age 55, he began to realize his weeks and his years were flying by. He figured that the average person lived to be 75, which gave him another twenty years, so with fifty-two weeks in a year that gave him approximately one thousand precious weekends left to enjoy with the people he loved most.
So he bought one thousand marbles, put them in a clear plastic container, and placed the container on a credenza in his office. Every Monday, he would take out one marble and throw it away.
He discovered that as the marbles diminished, he focused more on the most important aspects of life, and he observed, "There's nothing like watching your time here on earth run out to help get your priorities straight."
If Only I Knew...
This was our last hug,I would hold you tightAnd hope to never let you go,
If Only I Knew...That even when everything in my lifeSeems to go wrong And comes crumbling down around me,Even when my heart is broken,God has promisedTo always be with me.
Ah, yes... If we only knew, we would treasure special people in our life even more. Every day could be our last. And you might have heard it before, but... "On your deathbed, you will not say, 'I wish I had spent more time at the office.'"
The love of your family, your friends, and your faith will shape your attitude and determine your true success in life.
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
