Mayonnaise Jar and Wine

My father-in-law forwarded me this email. I just loved what it had to say and it is so True. I just had to share it.



When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a
day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of
him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the
students if the jar was full. They
agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the
golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of
course, the sand filled up everything else He asked once more if the jar was
full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two glasses of wine from under the table and
poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space
between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you To
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the
important things; your family, your children, your health, your friends, and
your favorite passions; things that if everything else was lost and only
they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and
your car.

The sand is everything else; the small stuff.

If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for
the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your
time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things
that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to
your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time
to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first;
the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the wine represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no
matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of
glasses of wine with a friend."

Just rambling...

Well not a lot has happened in the last couple days. I attempted to make my mom's potato soup. It wasn't as good as hers but I think I got close. I got a birthday present from Coolaid and my in laws gave me $20.00, My hubby got me perfume which I asked for and he is going to take me out Friday night to celebrate. The perfume was Lady Stetson and Chantilly.


My kids just wished me a happy birthday and a lot of my online friends sent me some kind pic that said Happy Birthday. My hubby also took us out to dinner, over all my day wasn't bad.

Today while I was doing the dishes my daughter(3 years old this past Sunday) came into the kitchen saying "mommy, mommy" , I looked at her and said "what?" then she said "I love you so much!", I replied the same about to cry. She is so sweet and lovable. It really made my day.

I'm finally slowly getting housework done after being in a cast for the last 6 weeks. (I broke my right wrist) My wrist still hurts but I'm doing my physical therapy for that, but the fact that I can now do housework and try to get this house caught up is something for me. Well sorry my rambling seems to be in all directions but I just had to get this down. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Busy Weekend

Well we had a busy weekend. Friday I got my cast off and start physical therapy on Monday. I'll have to go 3 times a week for the next four weeks. Saturday we went to the Covered Bridge festival. Well Bridgeton to be exact. Gage got a magic trick, all of us got socks, Faith got a stuffed puppy from the build a bear section. We ate homemade ice cream and while walking around the festival we seen a volkwagon painted just like Herbie.So I gave my son the camera took take a picture of it.



On our way home we went to a couple of yard sales. I got sis 3 pairs of jeans and a turtle neck shirt for a $1.00. I then stopped at Wal~Mart to get food for sis' birthday party and food for supper. Later in the day I took sis to Toys R Us for her birthday. I got her the game candyland, My little ponies, and a Lazytown Dressup like Stephanie kit. They gave her a crown and a birthday balloon.


On Sunday we had sis' birthday party. She is offically 3 now. She seemed to have a blast. She picked out a Dora birthday cake. She got several presents. and posed for several pictures. She really loved her new game, her boots, Dora lamp, and other toys. My friend Sindi got hera halloween movie and 2 barbie dolls, Grandma & grandpa got her a new teddy bear and $20.00, and mommy & daddy gave her $5.00.




We ate ham salad, tuna salad, potato salad, BBQ chips, cake and ice cream. Everyone left but I let 2 of the kids spend the night. One of Gage's friends Adam and Faith wanted Beth to spend the night. I'm so glad this weekend is over but we had a lot of fun.
