Leavin on a jet plane
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
Today is the big day, I am flying out to Alabama... so I probably won't update for a few days.
Nun of that!
Good News: I got an A in my Methods of Research class... Yay!
okay news: I got a B in statistics II.
More good news: I finished my Christmas shopping down here. I am going to take my brother shopping for he and my sister in Alabama. This was not because I could not pick something out, but becuase 1. I thought it was a nice way to spend time with my Brother, and 2. I don't have to try and fit two more presents in my already stuffed suitcase. Other than thatI am done. I have only 6 presents left to wrap, and a few stocking stuffers for my mom.
The lady prisoners are waxing the floors here at the police department, so we are kinda blocked into dispatch. It sucks.
Some of my charms have come in. I am totally excited! I will post a picture when I have completed the collection!
I kinda got tagged twice reading Carmel's and the Rev^3's blogs. "So this is about quotes that mean something to us, that just stick and we remember them and also live by them and that are special to us. "
I have posted most of these in the year + past, but they are the ones that stick with me the most!
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling f my pain but for the heart to conquer it. ~ Rabindranath Tagore.
I posted this one not too long ago, but it is still my favorite! I try to remember these words when I am faced with hardship, and I always make it through.
Work like you don't need the money, Dance like nobodies watching, and love like you have never been hurt. ~Unknown
I have yet to conquer this one, the love like you have never been hurt is hard for me.
To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, to hold eternity in the palm of your hand, an infinity in an hour. ~William Blake
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdome to know the difference.
Living on day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would hav it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. ~ Reinhold Niebuhr
I know everyone has heard the first part of this, and it is good advice... but the second part really helps drive it home, and is not as well known.
If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged. I would love to see Victoria, Alex, and Patrick Respond...
I guess that is it for those quotes that I try to live by, but here are some other thoughts I leave you with...
I believe there are two kinds of people on earth, those that wake up and say "good Lord it's morning" and those that wake up and say "Good morning Lord" I try to fall under that second category. It helps me start my day out on the right foot.
and here are a few from movies that I love!
Patch Adams:
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly without complexities abide. I love you because I know no other way then this. So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand. So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep." Meet Joe Black:
"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."
I could go on for days with movie quotes... I love them!
Useless fact for today: Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.
and Todays thought for the day: (as if there weren't enough to digest above....) Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, if you are not willing to move your feet. ~ Unknown
If I am unable to check in, you guys have a safe couple of days! Blog ya later!
