      “ I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom. ” As I was riding on the bus headed for home , I was thinking about a conversation I had with my co worker today. We were talking about spending time alone.She enjoys being alone with herself and so do I. I hear people complain about being alone or being at home & how bored they get.I have to say , I never   very rarely get bored.There is always something I want to do.There are books ,crafts,journals ,blogs... so much to keep me occupied for hours & hours!Ofcourse ther are always things to be done around the house as well!I don't like not doing anything....ever.I must have a book or something else to do.I often wonder why that is? Maybe I'm over analyzing it.I just really enjoy the creative process. I take my crochet or sewing with me when I go out.Today I took my crochet project with me on the bus .I can do that with out becoming dizzy or nauseated which is the the case when I ...

The elderly patients at my job frequently complain about  the hardships of old age ."Don't get old!"  they exclaim. I smile and respond , "Ok...tell me how to avoid it!!" .Today I actually got an answer: : " Laughter ! You might as well have one good laugh a day...it'll keep your heart young and you'll need laughter if you're going to make it in this lufe!" Sounds like good advice to me!

Waldrip What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. ~Yiddish Proverb “ That is the best - to laugh with someone because you both think the same things are funny. ” All you need in the world is love and laughter.

Yakov Smirnoff I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have...

Here we are again!Wonderful Wednesday came quickly! This week I'd like to share more things I love,like & enjoy! Since today begins the celebration of Mexican Independence I'm going to share some things I love about this country.For those who are just getting to know me ,I am Mexican -American.I was born in Southern California. My mother is 100% a Mexican "chilanga". Meaning she's from Mexico City. My father was Mexican American & German .I believe he loved the Mexican culture. So let's begin with the Mexican flag.I think it's beautiful: This flag of the current times is a tricolor consisting of green, white and red vertical stripes with the coat of arms at the center in the white portion. The colors have their own meanings. Green stands for hope, white for purity and red stands for religion. ♥ The coat of arms was designed by Architect Francisco Eppens Helguera . The coat of arms is an image of an eagle with a serpent held in its talon. Th...
