Whoever loves money
will never have enough money;
Whoever loves wealth
will not be satisfied with it.
This is also useless.

The Power of words
The other day I was watching something about a girl who let what someone said about her impact her life in a profound way.
I can't remember who said it, or even what they said. But I know it was something negative, and she took it to heart. She took it so much to heart that she let one statement define who she was for a long time in her life.
Why is it that you can be in a group of people and one person say something nice to you and someone else say something negative, and it's the negative person that we remember.
I can remember times when people may have said something to me that was hurtful and it can be hard to get past.
Words have so much more power than we give them credit for.
The bible tells us the tongue is like a sword, and it really is, because when we say something hurtful to someone, it can be almost impossible to take it back. We can apologize of course and most likely we will be forgiven. But sometimes harsh words are hard to forget.
I am so far from perfect, but this is one thing that I have tried so hard to remember when I am talking to my kids, or any young person. It's amazing how a kind word can bring a smile to someones face.
It isn't always easy to control our tongues, maybe there is something to be said for stopping and counting to 10. If we could just step back and take a few minutes to think about what we are going to say, maybe it could save someone else a little unnecessary pain.
So I am going to try harder to only say positive things.
Because like momma says, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all."

Movie Review!
This weekend, Mr. Wonderful and baby boy went down east to do a little fishing.
Well, you know the old saying, While the cat's away. . . . me and baby girl will play!!!
She has been asking to go to the movies but I just didn't want to see Charlie St. Cloud. I am sure it is a good movie, but it looked a little sad and I don't really want to pay $8 to go sit in the theater and cry. So I talked her into something even better.
The Other Guys!!!!
What did we have to lose? Will Ferrell is super funny and Mark Wahlberg was easy to look at. So you can safely say it had something for everyone.
It was well worth my money, I thoroughly enjoyed it. So did BG! It was funny and it even had a good story.
So I'd give it a definite Thumbs up!!!!

What I've been doing
Swimming!
 |
Relaxing!
More swimming!
More relaxing!!
Didn't do this, just watched!
PS. Didn't really swim in the canal, I am afraid of fish with teeth, but I did get in the ocean because it was super hot, and I did talk about riding that parasail, but then the drinks wore off and I decided against it.
