Today's Grab Bag of Thoughts

Well I have managed to come to grips with two different situations this week that I really thought I wanted to end differently. Turns out that is was all in my head and I just couldn't let it go. Well in a very unusual and not to smart way I can now put those two things behind me and move on. Hmmm I guess God does know what he is doing. 

Hmm well see that is a really hard question to answer, ok honestly it isn't really but in order to save face I will just say that it may or may not have been my idea.  What might have or might not have been your idea you are probably asking.  Well that would be to watch "A little bit of Heaven" tonight on Netflix.   (Movie synopsis below)  Let me just stop there and say unlike many many people and critics, I actually liked the movie.  Yes there are some people that are all pissed off about the portrayal of a terminally ill cancer patient and yada yada yada but HELLO IT IS HOLLYWOOD! They never said it was based on a true story.  But to those people on the contrary there are people that keep their hair after treatment, that laugh and love their way through cancer and my Grandma was one of those people.      So, no the stupid idea is NOT due to the movie being a waist of my time like the Nicole Kidman/Kate Hudson musical "Nine" which was 2 hour...

Ok did you update you system? Are you a bit lost in how to do certain things? I have figured out a few tips.  1. To delete text message or emails you now swipe right to left rather than left to right.  2. To turn off your apps you still double click the home button but now instead of holding down the app to get the close button you just swipe the app page upwards.  3. Double clicking the home button now opens a multi task screen. 4. If you swipe up from the bottom of the screen you open a control panel.  A lot of the tasks you had to go to the settings is here now. Well that is all I know for now. Hope I helped out one or two peeps. 

Isn't that a loaded word?  Can people really forgive each other, truly?  I believe that they can.  However, there are other people in this world that don't believe they can AND/OR that they don't deserve forgiveness.   We have all made bad choices in our lives, some just affect us and some affect others as well.  However, the day comes that we can just keep yelling and blaming ourselves for our stupid mistakes or seize the day to make a new beginning.  Successful people look back at their mistake and vow never to make the same mistake twice.  They forgive themselves for making those bad decisions even if they do them over and over again.  They pick themselves up and move on.  They make amends to those they hurt and move forward not looking back.  Successful people know that the past is not the present nor the future.  They take the second chances they get in life. I recently for reconnected to someone that is extremely dear to my he...

As the summer comes to an end and I think that life will be a bit more manageable,  I am browsing through my FB friends pages and can see that life is EVERYTHING BUT normal or simple.  That the times ahead are so uncertain.  Some friends are pregnant and some lost kids.  Some are facing possible family loss due to illness and others have already experienced it.  S ome have lost their jobs and some have gained new ones.  Others have gotten married, divorced or separated.  It is sad that life these days are so busy and life brings so many different people come into your life that you can't possibly keep up with all the wonderful people you've met over that years.  That as wonderful as FB can be, it is still a long way away from actually "connecting" with your friend and family.  Yes we can pick up something here and there from their pages, but for me I am usually a bit late in the game because I am probably so self-absorbed that I don't make ti...
