He is now bed bound after another nasty stroke on Monday of this week and one two weeks before that, he is only on a fluid diet so obviously he is very much weaker.

I do think of you all and it was great having a chat with Gill today.

Wishing Everyone a Very happy Easter.

Good morning all

Feeling a bit better today & found this to share with you:-6

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember The Mayonnaise Jar and the 2 Cups of Coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.

He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous, "Yes!"

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now", said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter, like your job, your house, and your car.

The sand is everything else--the small stuff"

"If you put the sand into the jar first", he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the

house and fix the garbage disposal.

Take care of the golf balls first--the

things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Enjoy Life While You May

Thanks everyone:-4:-6

I've been running hot

You got me ticking gonna blow my top

If you start me up

If you start me up I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry

Spread out the oil, the gasoline

I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

Start it up

If you start it up

Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got

I can't compete with the riders in the other heats

If you rough it up

If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry

My eyes dilate, my lips go green

My hands are greasy

She's a mean, mean machine

Start it up

If start me up

Give it all you got

You got to never, never, never stop

Never, never

Slide it up

You make a grown man cry

Ride like the wind at double speed

I'll take you places that you've never, never seen

Start it up

Love the day when we will never stop, never stop

Never stop, never stop

Tough me up

Never stop, never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry

You, you make a dead man come

You, you make a dead man come

HELLO JOAN,

how nice to see you see again. so sorry tony is feeling so unwell, it must be hard for all of you.

i think of you often.:-4

how did you fare in the storms ?? it was awful here as you've no doubt seen in the local papers.

Hello again everyone!

I hope everyone is well:)

well Jacob and I have just spent the last hour rolling around on the floor playing and I'm tired, He loves for you to chase him.:wah: We've got toys and books thrown all over the den floor. It looks like a hurricane hit the place.:wah:

Whenever we do this I always say hurricane Jake has hit the house.:wah:

now I've got to pick everything back up but I think the exercise will probably help him sleep.

I thought I would pop in for a few minutes and see what was happening, I've got to go in a little while and give Jacob his bath and see if he will go to sleep. We've got to get up a little earlier in the morning, we're going to church. We haven't been in a couple of weeks, I've been keeping the baby in because of all the flu and stuff thats going around over here, but it time to go back.
