"Life creates it"

"I lost ten pounds on this new diet. It's called the Flu. I suggest you try it. You spend a week not able to eat anything, and if you try, you throw it all back up." -Jay Mohr.
I blame society for my skewed priorities. (Hey, they say the first step is admitting you have a problem . . . I figure that if I admit that I have one I'm far ahead of many people and may as well stop there, eh?)

Today, I'm thankful for "oil painting medium."

Ooh, and for the activity today- I'm excited to meet you guys.

I'm grateful that I'm finally home from Seattle. (even tho I found out that I've missed 2 activities at Riley's place because of that trip.)

I am grateful for my friends and the people I know. I know it is long but this quote/thought really got to me and I had to post it.

=====================================================

People come into your life for a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is for a person, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered, and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
