I heard someone say Disappointments are inevitable, but misery is optional. I thought, to myself, That is so true. Wow, that person is wise.

Every day I face some sort of disappointment. Whether it's because I feel slighted by someone on the road on the way to work, or because a co-worker has offended me. These disappointments don't need to take over my entire day. I can let them go immediately if I choose to.

Today I'm going to strive to let disappointments go as quickly as they come.

I haven't felt like posting much lately. I've been pretty busy at work and have entered that phase of life when you go to bed at 7:30 p.m. and wake up at 4:30 a.m.

Here is a picture of the family on Martin's 44th birthday, which was last Friday. We had a fabulous dinner at the Black Angus. Very yummy. And everyone had a good time.

L to R: Shon, Savanah, Martin, Me and Erica.

This is Savanah's latest art project. She's rather wicked!

Yesterday Erica turned 23. She's a full-time student at B.C.

She's gone through quite a bit in her young life and she's

accomplishing much. I'm a proud mama.

Four years old this month!

Happy Birthday Mikey!
