Things on my mind when I can't sleep.

I have a headache tonight and while I was waiting for the tylenol to kick in I looked up a quote a friend was telling me about that Michael Jordan made.  I found it and it says: 

Then I began to add to it in my mind and thought I would share the following also:

Don't give up when you fail.  Just keep trying to do the right thing and you will get it right eventually.  And guess what, doing the right thing is going to make you feel like an outcast or odd man out some of the time.  Especially if you are going against the crowd or your peers that are watching.  It is called being an example.  We are not perfect and never will be.  But we can learn from our mistakes and grow from there.  And in Oprah's words, "When you know better, you do better."

Football, Family and Friends

I am not much of a writer but am trying to learn how to enjoy blogging or journaling about life and just have fun doing it.  Today I am thinking about the Alabama football game I watched last night and thinking what fun it was to spend time with my family and a dear friend enjoying the game.  Our night was low key but very enjoyable. The children and the dog played while we watched the game and we cooked out burgers and dogs.  Of course the Tide Rolled on to a victory which capped off the night quite well.  Please post how you spent your night whether you watched the Tide Roll or another team play or didn't watch football at all.  I hope your holiday weekend is off to a good start and I look forward to reading about your time spent with friends and family.  I am truly thankful for each person and moment that I am blessed with!
