Life Quotes

Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go ​and move on.

 

When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

Someone else doesn’t have to be wrong for you to be right.

~ A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can’t get very far until you change it.

You will never fully believe in yourself if you keep comparing yourself to everyone else. Instead, compare yourself to who you were yesterday.

 

 

 

 

You won’t always be punished FOR your anger, but you will always be punished BY your anger.

 

 

 

 

One of the greatest freedoms is truly not caring what everyone else thinks of you.

The good things we build end up building us.

I Miss You...

My Grandfather died 3 years ago in October at the age of 71. He died in his sleep after surgury.

Pap was always happy. I remeber his warm hugs, his burgers from the grill, the pool in his back yard, his pipe, his delicious egg sandwitches and his laugh. I remember everything about him and I miss him the more I think about him.

One thing about Pap that always stuck in my head was the fact that he loved to fish. I get alot of my love of fishing from him. But I never actually took a trip with him fishing. Right before he died though, he promised me a fishing trip. I'm still waiting for him to keep his promise. 

 I miss Pap more than anything. He means everything to me.

I love you Pap.

To this day, I can still hear that conversation in my head...

"When you are older, I promise to take you fishing," he said.

"Really?" I asked him.

"Oh yah!" he responded, "I promise!"

Caption Jack Sparrow Quotes!!!!!

Here are some Jack Sparrow quotes I found!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!

 You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?

 

 

Barbossa: Why thank ye, Jack.
Jack Sparrow: You're welcome.
Barbossa: Oh, not you. We named the monkey Jack.

 

 

You know that feeling you get when you're standing in a high place with a sudden urge to jump? I don't have it.
 

 

 

 

 

Barbossa: So what now, Jack Sparrow? Are we to be two immortals locked in an epic battle until Judgment Day and trumpets sound?
Jack Sparrow: Or you could surrender.

 

Elizabeth Swann: There will come a moment when you will have a chance to show it. To do the right thing.
Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

 

 

 

 

My tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature informs me that you are troubled.

 

 

 

Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

 

 

 

"I gotta jar of Dirt! I gotta jar of Dirt!"

~Jack Sparrow

 

 

Jack Sparrow:

"Do you know how hard it was to catch that filthy pig?

Not the big one, the...four legged one.

"

 

 

"The problem's not the problem the problem is your attitude about the problem.."

 

 

 

If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it.

 

 

Norrington: You're Mad!

Jack: Thank Goodness for that, or else this would probably never work!

 

 

Jack: Mr. Gibbs, you may throw my hat if you like.
Gibbs: Aye aye, Captain! [throws hat] Hooray!
Jack: Now go and get it.

 

 

 

Will Turner: This is either madness, or brilliance.
Jack Sparrow: It's funny how often those traits coincide.

7 Things You Shouldn't Do Before Bed!

7 Things You Shouldn’t Do Before Bed

Oh, the power of a good night’s sleep. A whole gamut of positive benefits can be seen from getting enough rest, but for many of us, hitting the sack can be challenging. There’s plenty of advice out there about what to do to get to sleep but what about what not to do?

1. Exercise
No, you don’t get to ditch your yoga mat or running shoes all together. Exercise is a vital activity for your health, and can actually contribute to getting better-quality sleep. The problem, though, is that exercising within three hours of bedtime can raise your body temperature, and make dozing off more difficult. Breaking a sweat, then, is best left for earlier in the day!

2. Watch TV/Surf the Web
Studies have shown that pre-slumber screen time can impede your body’s ability to fall asleep. The likely culprit? Well, the bright lights of these screens can hinder the development of melatonin, the hormone that promotes sleep. So close that laptop and turn off that TV about an hour before bed.

3. Take a Hot Shower/Bath
Like exercise, hot showers and baths can actually help you fall asleep. The problem, however, comes out of taking one too close to the time you plan on hitting the sack. Being overheated or sweating can make it difficult to sleep. Let your body cool down before heading off to bed.

4. Drink Too Many Fluids
Caffeine, of course, and alcohol both make it difficult to get a good night’s rest. But drinking a lot of any liquid within the last hour or two before you go to bed will lead to those dreaded late night bathroom breaks, and further disrupt your slumber. You shouldn’t go to bed thirsty, however, as you’ll likely wake up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water. Balance is key here.

5. Work
Whatever work or school issue it is, it can certainly wait until morning. Getting work done stimulates your brain and can cause you unneeded stress — pretty much the opposite of what you want to feel if you’re trying to fall asleep!

6. Read Engrossing Stories
Many of us have done this: you’re reading a really interesting novel and you tell yourself, “Oh just one more page!” Suddenly, it’s 2AM and you have to be awake in four hours. Yep, reading a really interesting book, essay or novel before bed will make it difficult to get to sleep. Perhaps you can remedy it by finding the most boring thing imaginable to read?!


7. Have Serious Conversations
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “don’t go to bed angry.” And, as it turns out, it’s totally accurate! Research has shown that sleeping directly after a fight or traumatic experience will effectively preserve your emotions until you awake. The human body is adverse to falling asleep in dangerous situations — it’s a defense mechanism. Thus, you’ll have a much harder time falling asleep after a big blowout. It’s best to resolve conflicts before you hit the sack.

Saint Xenia ~ Ever hear of her? I Never Did!

The only record of "vital statistics" which has been left us concerning Blessed Xenia is the epitaph on her gravestone:

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. HERE RESTS THE BODY OF THE SERVANT OF GOD, XENIA GRIGORIEVNA, WIFE OF THE IMPERIAL CHORISTER, COLONEL ANDREI THEODOROVICH PETROV. WIDOWED AT THE AGE OF 26, A PILGRIM FOR 45 YEARS, SHE LIVED A TOTAL OF 71 YEARS. SHE WAS KNOWN BY THE NAME ANDREI THEODOROVICH. MAY WHOEVER KNEW ME PRAY FOR MY SOUL THAT HIS OWN MAY BE SAVED. AMEN.

Who wrote it, no one knows, but this is all we know about the early life of Blessed Xenia: only that she lived during the reigns of the Empresses Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II and that she was married to the imperial chorister, Col. Andrei Theodorovich Petrov. From this latter fact we may assume that she was of the lesser nobility.

Presumably, in her early years, she led an ordinary, though comfortable life, performing no services...

Comet PAN-STARRS Passing over North America....

March 13, 2013 – SPACE - A comet visible to the naked eye will streak across the night sky in North America tonight, and if you’re lucky, you can see it for yourself.

Comet C/2011 L4 PANSTARRS is an icy ball of dirt currently located about 30 million miles from the sun. It will appear in our night skies all month long, but if you want to see it without the aid of binoculars or a telescope, tonight’s your best bet.

To view the comet, first find a spot where you can see the western part of the sky, all the way down to the horizon. It will also help if you’re away from a city, so you don’t have to deal with light pollution. Clear weather is also a necessity. Wait until about half an hour after sunset, and then look towards the western sky. The crescent moon should be just barely above the horizon, and that will help you find the comet, which should appear about 10 degrees to the west of the moon –roughly the size of your fist, if you hold it out at arm’s length. According to NASA, the comet “will appear as a bright point of light with its diffuse tail pointing nearly straight up from the horizon....

GOD BLESS OUR NEW POPE!!!!

I can't believe how fast the cardinals were able to elect a new pope!!! Blessed be God!!!

I don't know much about it because we don't get EWTN, but I know a lot of people who do know a little on it. Go visit Nick's Blog to learn about our new Spiritual Leader! Or you can head over to my Moms Blog and learn about the Papal Insignia!!!

Here are some Pictures I found of our new Pope!!!

THE WHITE SMOKE!

Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio has been elected by his peers as the new pope, becoming the first pontiff from the Americas.

He has chosen to be known as Pope Francis.

The 76-year-old has spent nearly his entire career at home in Argentina, overseeing churches and shoe-leather priests.

Francis, the archbishop of Buenos Aires, reportedly got the second-most votes from the 115 cardinals after Joseph Ratzinger in the 2005 papal election, and he has long specialized in the kind of pastoral work that some say is an essential......
