After reading Renee's post about the Flag Page that we learned about at the Laugh Your Way video seminar I decided what the heck and did my own Flag Page.
I like me a pie chart! Check it out (click pic). If you took a look you might have noticed that my "Showman" Talents did not register. Does that mean I'm not that entertaining? Hmmm...
I am a citizen of Perfect Country with Peace Country as my go to place when things are in disarray in the homeland. I like Control next and for some reason Fun was last. I knew that Fun wouldn't be first because that would be too chaotic for me, but LAST?!
Anyway, here is my flag page...kinda wishing that my flag was a little more colorful.
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip , the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah, " said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
I like shoes just as much as the next gal, but I REALLY like cycling shoes. That's only because I only get to buy cycling shoes when I need too...yes, NEED, don't judge me.
So, last week Tom and I hit all of Beth's cycle classes at the gym that happened between Monday & Friday. FOUR classes! For these classes I have been sporting my Shimano MTB shoes -
These work great and all, but the cleats that I have on these do not work on the pedals that are on the spin bikes at the gym.
So this past Saturday, I made a trip out to Performance (oh darn) and checked out some shoes before consulting with Mr. Matt about shoes for spin class and he steered me to these -
These were a whopping $39.99! Matt even found a pair of cleats that were not packaged up so that saved another $10!
Stylish and affordable - go and get yourself a pair now!
