A Tribute To The Rix Family - The Overhill Gang

This past Saturday I had such a good time and I want to Thank Val, Mike Rix's oldest! My past came to me from younger years and I loved every minute of it.
Now, this could be lengthy, but I will keep it short. Growing up in Chicago was a wonderful time in which I will never forget. There are those who wish to share and keep in touch. And, Thank You to, well to name a few Kath, Mary, Colleen, Maureen, and Ann for keeping us all together. Growing up is so hard and looking back reminds us of who we are and where we came from- always look back and know what is important.
Here's to my friends of younger years and Kudos to our daughters who wish to carry through.
I can't wait for us to see each other again. I am blessed to have you all - keeping me alive with the past and to share by all!

Embracing Who We Are

As almost every morning, I am up early and surfing the Internet. While visiting my usual sites I came across a wonderful phrase posted at http://wholesalesuppliesplus.blogspot.com/.
"Perhaps God's greatest gift to us in life is the ability to learn from our experiences, especially our mistakes, and grow into better people."
Envy, as described in the dictionary: painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage. This, envy will only inhibit your ability to embrace who you are and grow into a better person.
Embrace yourself and live life as God has given you. See the beauty around you. Remember, what you give is what you will receive.
