Ok, I have alot to catch up on here. I realize. I will do my best to get this done. I have been slacking because of this damn surgery....uggghhhhh......Please be patient and Ill get it done within the next few days. Have lots to tell you about!!!

Karma..What is it?? What does it mean?? The Hindus believe that it is the universal law of Cause and Effect.  Basically, you reap what you sow. Our choices and their consequences keep changing the reality we experience. Karma is just the consequences of old choices - old beliefs and old attitudes - which unconsciously create and re-create similar consequences, until we become conscious of them and choose to change them. In the ancient Sanskrit language "karma" meant "action". Karma is not a punishment but an opportunity to correct old mistakes and make ourselves and our lives better. Karma is uncorrected errors.

As Werner Erhardt once said: "The Truth shall set you free, but first it might piss you off!" Karma is a constant reminder to challenge us to perceive the Truth, even though we may perceive it as a thorn in our side. Karma is more persistent than our own stubborn refusal to see the ultimate universal Truths; so eventually we will learn the hard way, even if we refuse to learn the easy way. Often we refuse to change until it becomes too painful not to.

Only when we realize and accept that we are responsible for creating our own karma, can we choose to change it by making better choices this time around. This is the essential meaning of the old adage: "What goes around, comes around." What we chose in the past is coming around again.  We can better choices when similar situations come up again and change the outcome.

In a nutshell, Life is all about the choices we as human beings CHOOSE to make. We choose what to do, what not to do, what makes us happy. We are all in control of our own Karma. Make the right choices, if you screw up, change it.  Life's setbacks are not punitive, but proofe that's not the way to live. (Michael Star 2001)

Forgiveness....Ever thought about that?? I mean REALLY thought about it? When someone has done something so wrong and hurt you so much that you begin to hate, Your carrying that hatred with you, in your heart, in your mind, and it even comes across sometimes in your daily being. Sometimes, it hurts you and takes more ambition and energy from you than it does the person who betrayed you. I mean, most of the time, it really doesnt matter to the person whom your forgiving, it only matters to you. I have been the person betrayed, on more than one occassion, and I have also been the one who sought for forgiveness. I made a decision on New Years, when I found out my daughter was going to have a baby..I am going to be a NaNa, I was going to try and let go of some of the anger in my life, and let go of things that hurt me in the past, and forgive..That doesnt necessarily mean that I will have any kind of interaction with these people, probably not even a real good idea, you only get one second chance with me,  but I will forgive them once for being stupid thats something they cant help!!! . . It makes sense to me and with the new year, hopefully things will be better....

Mahatama Gandhi said "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong".          Wow, how true is that..

Finally, after not having snow for Christmas, Mother Nature dumps a foot on us! It was nice, our office was closed for 2 days which gave me a considerable amount of time to work on the babys room. We moved the bed, dressers and some other things in, the walls are painted and one mural is done. I just need to have Tia figure out what other Mural she wants on the other wall and we'll be good to go! I added a picture of whats done in "The Baby's" Photo Album. Take a look!

The closer it gets and the more things we get done in preperation for this baby, the more excited I get.  I think we are going to plan the baby shower for sometime in April. What an ordeal that is going to be!!!

I talked to Tiff yesterday, wished her Happy Valentines Day..So Tiffany, If your reading this I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU A BUNCH!!!!

Guess I better get to work. Tax season is upon us and I have shit to do!

Its getting about that time for Bike Week in Daytona!! Unfortuneatly, Im not going to get to go this year.  See, I only get 4 weeks paid vacation from my job, and Tia is going to have the baby in July or August, sooo, Being the Great Mom that I am, I am going to sacrafice most of my vacation time to take after she delivers the baby...which means, No Bike Week for me this year.

Last year, I can sum it all up in one word...AMAZING!!!! I will never look at Daytona Beach Florida in the same light again!!!

It was an awesome time, the best part of it for me was the cruising along the ocean. The air was cold at night but well worth it. Waking up in the morning, stepping out on the patio and full view of the ocean and the sunrise and sunsets...not to mention the wild canadian guys in the rooms below us..they done some things that were outrageous!! I was most upset that I had REALLY had my hopes up to get the slightest glimpse of Paul Jr. of Orange County Choppers.... Much to my dismay, it didnt happen and that was a SERIOUS BUMMER!!!!

Oh well, I'm sure I will hear all about the awesome time my sister & brother had this year...

Well, Today is Friday. I am so glad its the weekend. I have alot to catch up on to get this webblog up to speed. I guess let me start by telling you a bit about me and my family.

I have 2 very beautiful daughters. Tiffany, whom is my oldest, is 20. She is going to College with interests in pursuing Anestheology. She is very independant!! Scares the hell outta me!  

Tia, is my youngest. She is soon to be 19. We got some great news This past New Year's Eve..Tia and her boyfriend Jacob, are going to have a baby...YEP!! I'M GONNA BE A GRANDMOTHER!! Although, I prefer the term NaNa because I'm only 40 and I thing Grandma sounds really old. So, This is my grandbaby!!

The baby is due in August, but the doctor said GOD THATS A BIG BABY..so Im thinking, shes not going to go until August. I believe she will deliver in July...guess well wait and see...if the wait doesnt kill me first!!!

This is still under construction
