The Big 4-0

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!

The Big 40!!!


I hear you smile & laugh more after 40....actually, I didn't hear that I just made it up because it went well with this cute picture.


You make goofy faces...like this one after 40.

After 40 you need a bib while you eat.



Here's a fun poem for you, love.


Over The Hill At Forty So it's your fortieth birthday;
Four decades have gone and passed.
They say when you get older,
Time goes twice as fast. I wouldn't know, of course,
Since I am still quite young,
But for you, the music is over;
Your last song has been sung. You're just over the hill at forty;
You went down without a fight.
Time rushes on, and soon
That "hill" will be out of sight! Happy Birthday Anyway!

Hey you might be 40 but your still young enough to ride a bike!

You're just as sexy now to me as you were when you were 17.

I love you, babe! Hope this birthday is the best one yet!!!! 3

Slim & Sculpt

I bought this Slim & Sculpt Pilates DVD hoping this will be "IT".....the "IT" workout that will help me lose these damn stubborn 10 pounds!!! I'm a freaking yo-yo I tell ya! A month ago I was almost at my goal weight.

WTF happened???? I think it's called "portion control"!!! I. Don't. Have. Any. & either does John. That's my problem....we love to cook for each other and try out new restaurants; but we don't know when to put the fork down! We eat super healthy...organic when possible. We just eat to much!!! Ugh.....

I'm hoping to be sore tomorrow!!! That's a good sign that you worked all the right muscles!!!

Oh size 6.......I want you back!!!!

Feather & BBS

My friend and aide from my old bus route 500 gave me this last week to inspire me. She was affected as well when I had to switch routes. This is the poem that came with the feather.

An Angels Touch.... To Inspire A feather fell to earth today, and made my heart rejoice; It's words of inspiration came to lift me with its voice: "You have the will to reach your goals, To be your very best; to walk Life's path with head held high, to pass each trying test." "Have faith that you are not alone, He keeps you in His sight; Inspiring you along the way, To reach Life's greatest height."

The feather is hanging nicely on the rear view mirror in my car. Thank You, Ms. Diane for being such a wonderful friend!!!

It's already March 1st! Here is my scripture for the blog bible study.

Proverbs 15:15
All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.

Our attitudes color our whole personality. We cannot always choose what happens to us, but we can choose our attitudes towards each situation. The secret to a cheerful heart is filling our minds with thoughts that are true, pure, and lovely, with thoughts that dwell on the good thing in life. This was Paul's secret as he faced imprisonment, and it can be ours as we face the struggles of daily living.

It's our choice what we let enter our mind and what we choose to dwell on. Sometimes we need to examine ourselves and make some changes!
