Pet peeves and Angel wings

There are certain phrases and words that I have conditioned myself from childhood from my own parents and hopefully, have passed down to my children to not to use in their daily conversations. These are my pet peeves. When a person says to me that "I just don't understand" when I am trying to understand through questions and other statements throughout the conversation, yet they still insist that "I just don't understand" then PLEASE stop me from continuing our conversation and investing my time and effort in our relationship if I am never going to understand you or your situation. If I didn't want to understand, I wouldn't bother with you or your crumby situation. Furthermore, when a person who is in a new situation and understandably scared, deals with that situation with the words "I can't". What do you mean you can't? Have you even attempted to try whatever new that comes your way? Quit making excuses, dammit, and just do it!

Angels exist in everywhere, everything and everyone. I believe that more during these last few weeks. I believe that the miracles that they have wrought and will bring to my life and my family's life "are the small little coincidences where God wants to remain anonymous." (Sis. Taylor, mission president's wife) Angel touches and kisses are revealed to me through my children by the way they speak to one another and how they inspire others to do well, including myself. They reveal themselves through friends who pull off the impossible....

"Impossible... for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage; Impossible.... for a plain country bumpkin to join a prince in marriage; and four white mice will never be four white horses; such falderall and fiddledeedee of courses; Impossible...but the world is full of zanies and fools; who don't believe in sensible rules and won't believe what sensible people say; and because these dapped and dewy-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes impossible things are happening everyday" Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella

Sensible people who are my dear friends who continue to build my hopes that impossible things are happening every day. I truly have seen it today and hope and pray that I will be privileged in continuing and participating in these impossible events which all will and have become POSSIBLE.
