You’re in Charge

2012/01/14 Gayle 0

When I was a young adult and would go to my farther for advice, he would always end the conversation with ‘You’re in Charge’. Naturally, I believed he was talking about how much I should put in retirement, or if I should trade vehicles, or change jobs. Now that I am much older, I realize that his statement holds true for just about everything in life. We ARE in charge! We are in charge of our emotions; our successes and our failures. We are in charge of who we allow to upset us or how we derive joy.  No one controls our destiny but us! What will you embrace today?

It REALLY is the little things

I had surgery in December. It was major surgery which, as it turned out was more complicated than first expected. The story began about 12 weeks ago, I won’t bore you with gory details, but from the beginning I have been calling this an experience. Today I ran across this quote: “Never regret.

There are many good memories of the trains, especially during World War II then the troops would wave and throw out addresses hoping to get a letter for some one. When the passenger train went with green flags that meant a troop train would come soon. We lived close enought to see the trains and knew what different flags meant. There were very long coal trains and some times they would block the crossing for a good while, waiting to get into the Bluefield yard Gayle again – I remember my grandma’s being right by The rest of the story

If you follow this blog you know I am no prolific business writer. Sure I love to dabble in writing, I share weird and outrageous stories I find on my personal blog, I post sporadically to my photo blog but rarely do I think that I have the inside track on any topic. In the words of Solomon, there is nothing new under the sun and I’m pretty sure someone else has already said whatever it is I am about to say. Does that mean I am not cutting edge, probably! It also means that I don’t need to stroke my ego….or some BS like that. I often say, or think, there’s a blog post in there but that is generally the end of my The rest of the story
