Another Thought....

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

Thought for Today...

"Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self worth. Each of us has something to give that no one else has."

It's Been Quite A While.....

since I've last posted! For those of you that read my blog....sorry!

Not much new here...we went to the St. Louis Zoo last Sunday. It was a beautiful day...a day after some horrendous storms. We ate at Fitz's Rootbeer and just had a fun family day.

I do have some rather big news to share however...we finally bought us a new vehicle. We are the proud owners of a brand-spankin' new 2005 Mazda MPV LX, it is pearl-white with a light tan & black interior. I absolutely LOVE it! It ownly had 34 miles on it when we drove it off of the lot. The rebate was outrageous we just couldn't pass it up...and, I was so proud of Rob...he stuck to his guns and stuck with the price we decided to pay...and, the dealership came down to that price! I had already picked out a used, 2005 Ford Explorer (that will probably be the next vehicle...I loved it), but, after I drove the Mazda...and for this particular time in our lives...we just new it was the one. Rob really likes it too...it's got the sport package so it looks really nice. Just had to share...it's not often that I get a new vehicle...I tend to drive the ones I've got for quite some time.

Matthew & I went to the Conservation Department today for a Mudpuppies (ages 3-5) class. It was all about snakes...Matthew got to touch a live snake (I knew he would)...but the real kicker is that I did too! I'm 34 years old and that was my first snake ever that I've touched. It was kind of cool.

Speaking of being 34...my oldest sister, Magdalene, celebrated her 45th birthday on Sunday. Happy Birthday, Magdalene! The ONLY downside to that is that if she celebrated her 45th birthday this year...that means that I'll be celebrating my 35th birthday in August. What a bummer!

Have a GREAT day!

Just a thought...

I found this quote on www.aliedwards.typepad.com:

Kobi Yamada : We can't take the little things for granted. They have built companies, friendships and just about everything of value. No act of generosity, kindness or service is ever wasted, no matter how small. Everything matters. Everything we do helps or hurts, adds up or takes away. We need to count on each other for the little things that make life so big. In the end, it is not the days or the years that we remember, but the moments.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday afternoon!
