Love of Reading, don't be a grump

Some kids struggle with reading, which in turn makes it so they don't want to read.  Even good readers at times may not want to work on their reading skills.  To work on those things are boring!
But turn it into a game and the desire to participate goes up.  Especially when there are records to be broken.

Life works the same way sometimes.  We get bogged down by routine, and forget what and why we do things.  We need to remember the fun in life and the joy.  Then remember who we are doing everything for--our families (most of us.)

Don't be a grump, enjoy life.

Printer

Printer

So I couldn't get the printer to copy what I wanted copied the way I wanted, and then when someone asked how i was doing I basically said that the copier wasn't coping the way I needed to. I was a little frustrated because it took 45 mins. Of my time to get pretty much nothing done, then got thinking. It wasn't the copiers fault. It was doing exactly what I was telling it to do. I would punch some commands in and it would do it. It was the operators fault.

Life is the same, we get what we punch in. We may not know the exact things that need to be punched I for what we want out. And if we keep punching in the same things we will keep getting the same thing out. We may have to stop along the way and ask someone. But once we learn what needs to be put in we will get what we want out.

Life is like printer. You get what you tell it to give you.

You can not bring toys...

Yes this a picture of me. When we first found the photo booth app on the iPad we were laughing so hard. It was a hilarious time. Though out life we have to take little moments and have a good laugh. Sometimes those laughs will be about ourselves, at other times about little or big instances that happen during life.

My son is going to have a grandparents day at school soon. So he asked his grandma if she would come. While he was talking to her about it he told her:
You can bring pictures and tell stories but you can't bring toys or real guns.
When he told me and my wife we died of laughter.

Life is fun enjoy it.

Beauty all around

I get caught up in every day life and forget the beauty all around. It may not be in a grand scheme, but life has little moment where there is- Beauty all around.

Garden of weeds

Well this could go a lot of ways. But, well I have neglected my garden for a while now. My potatoes are buried in weeds, corn has kind of grown but haven't picked any. Pumpkins and squash are bug infested and dying. We pulled up all our lettuce over a month ago after it got too old. And so forth. We get over run a lot in life and our purpose in life is to figure it all out and make it work. How can we handle something way better after this life if we are lost in this life.
Everything we go though is placed to help us prioritize. Have fun with that.
