Hey blogville...it's Friday and I'm on a natural high...(Mondays and Fridays are usually my best days!!! hee hee hee)... Well guess what I did yesterday...one last chance...okay I'll tell y'all...got home yesterday from work feeling very high(and I don't do drugs o! but I've just been "joyful"!) Read Vera's blog...that was by the way 90% sane(sorry Vera had to chip that one in!) and although I was miles and miles away across the ocean from America,I was in the festive mood(fueled by her post by the way!!!) so I decided to call madam Vera ...well I quickly dialed the number before I could change my mind and the phone rang on and on...which reminds me...were you contemplating "not" picking up? anyhues...she eventually picked up and we got talking and blogville I 'mma have to tell y'all Vera's voice doesn't sound anything like crazy...as in she's got an accent(sue me!!!hee hee hee...to be expected shey?) an

You don't have to take it...

When people pronounce negative words into your life, you don't have to take it... You can't change what they say about you but you sure can control what goes into you... the choice is yours ... when you know who you are...(in Christ) and the fact that you're secure in His love...it really doesn't matter... ...As a matter of fact, that is their opinion and they are entitled to it... In the scheme of what God thinks about you,it is a minute and inconsequential issue...Chin Up!!! Saw one of my old journals and decided to put one of them up.... I guess different people have their reasons for journaling...I journal if I'm feeling low,very high,encouraged,inspired,motivated....in summary...I journal whenever,however,wherever.... ...I was probably spoken to with a negative tone or I overheard some one use negative tones to talk to another... But the truth is...the choice is yours... YOU really DON'T have to take it!!!

The Gospel of Wealth

Man does not live by bread alone. I have known millionaires starving for lack of the nutriment which alone can sustain all that is human in man, and I know workmen, and many so-called poor men, who revel in luxuries beyond the power of those millionaires to reach. It is the mind that makes the body rich. There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else. Money can only be the useful drudge of things immeasurably higher than itself. Exalted beyond this, as it sometimes is, it remains Caliban still and still plays the beast. My aspirations take a higher flight. Mine be it to have contributed to the enlightenment and the joys of the mind, to the things of the spirit, to all that tends to bring into the lives of the toilers of Pittsburgh sweetness and light. I hold this the noblest possible use of wealth. Andrew Carnegie , The Gospel of Wealth ,1889 Was going through some very interesting biographies and came across this You know it’s
