Good Friday #556: It's Incomplete Without "Me" (Friday, August 25)

Until I am measured,
I am not known.
Yet how you miss me
When I have flown.
Answer: Time

I can bring tears to your eyes;
Resurrect the dead; make you smile
And reverse time.
I form in an instant but I last a life time.
Answer: A memory

All the time you spend with someone, you're creating memories - good memories and bad ones. This week, I'm most grateful for the time and the memories.

Good Friday #555: I'm Embarrassed! (Friday, August 18)

"A momentary feeling of embarrassment is the reminder that our parents have taught us better." -G. Jackson

A friend of mine posted this quote on his Facebook page years ago and I've loved it ever since. There are times when I'm about to do something or act in a certain way, and I catch myself because I hear one or the other of my parent's voice in my head.

Every day I'm reminded that not everyone has had the benefit of my my upbringing. So this week, I'm  most thankful that I still feel embarrassed when I'm about to do something that goes against my how I was raised. I'm thankful that my parents have taught me better.

Good Friday #554: No Coincidences (Friday, August 11)

Today I "accidentally" ran into a woman in the bathroom. We got to speaking and she was having a really bad day...heck a bad year.

I thought I'd been having a bad day until I spoke to her.

This week, I'm most thankful that the universe put me in certain situations to remind me of how absolutely blessed I am.

Good Friday #553: The 5-Second Rule (Friday, August 4)

The 5-Second Rule says that the second you have an idea or want to do something, you have 5 seconds from that point to make a move toward the goal or your brain talks you out of doing it.

This week, I'm most grateful for the friend that shared this concept with me. I've been trying to implement it this week with some wonderful results.
