YOU WILL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT





 I always wanted an old rustic house where I could have my pets, garden, coffee shop/craft shop. I lived in an apartment and it was filled with boxes with crafts, antiques and beautiful crockery that I bought at charity shops, car boots and auctions through the years, Many times wondering if ever my dream would come true.  I am nearly 60 years old, limited funds. I found a dilapidated period house this year. I shared with a member of family, I was told you too old, I asked a friend for advice, I was told you have no money and the house is too big. I bought the house and  I am on the best journey of my life, for it is the first time in my life I have a vision of what I always wanted and I am aiming for it. Don't let anyone dis-encourage you or kill your dreams. Believe in yourself.                                                      

Reasons Why It’s Never Too Late to Learn Anything


It is never too late to learn and grow. 

 

1.     Learning keeps the mind stimulated, fobbing off brain degenerative diseases, as we get older.

2.     If you’re stuck in a rut and just can’t figure out why you’re there, start by learning something new. You’d be amazed at the ideas/inspiration your mind starts generating as you learn new things.

3.     Boost your self-esteem and add some excitement to your life. Meet new people and grow as an individual. 

              

There's really no excuse for not doing something that you have always wanted to do and was afraid, now is the time, no matter your age, you can do it. Make a plan for it and get going.

FUNNY STORY - A WOMEN TAKES HER 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO THE DOCTOR



 The doctor says, “okay,  Mrs. Jones, what seems to be the problem?”

The mother says, “It’s my daughter Darla. She keeps getting cravings, she’s putting on weight and is sick most mornings.”

The doctor gives Darla a good examination, and then turns to the mother and says, “Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your Darla is pregnant. About 4 months would be my quess.”

The mother says, “Pregnant?! She can’t be, she has never been left alone with a man! Have you, Darla?”

Darla says,  “No mother! I’ve never even kissed a man!”

The doctor walks over to the window and just stares out of it.  

A few moments later, the mother says, “Is there something wrong out there, doctor?”

The doctor replies, “No, not really, it’s just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill.  I’ll be damned if I’m going to miss it this time!



“God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If He gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.” — Pope Francis


 

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS


 




THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
