HE TAGGED ME......

My good friend Jason, from The Jason Show......featuring Executive Producer, Diego, who wants to come see my boa constrictor, tagged me.

The subject is Values. I'm supposed to Name Six Things I Value. So here I go.

.
My Family...no surprise here. The Fruit of my Looms, sprung from my womb. My four children, their spouses, and my ten grandchildren are my life.
With eighteen birthdays a year, it's not exactly a gaggle that can be ignored. They make me laugh, and cry. they make me proud, and I embarrass them. This is the order of things. This is something I value.

My Faith...Some people don't understand faith.
I have my chosen faith community, but real faith is accepting that which you believe to be true without demanding logic. Faith is not blaming God for evil and misfortunate tragedy, but believing and trusting in his plan and promise of salvation. This is something I value.

My Health....I value my health, and I'm thankful for genes that are forgiving of all my bad habits. I value the medical field that does their best to heal what it can, and make livable what it can't. Every day I tell myself I'm going to take better care of myself, but sometimes I'm hard of hearing. My health is something I value.





My Freedom.....I am proud to be an American, No other country affords it's citizens all the freedoms I have. I thank our troops daily. Literally I do. I live in a military town, and hardly a day goes by that I don't say "thank you" to a soldier. I value my freedom.

My Stuff.....You knew something superficial was coming, yes you did. But it's true, I love my stuff. I love my car, and when I realized it was seven years old, I could hardly believe it. I've never had a car more than five years. So, even though I love it, I'm looking to get a new one...so I can spread the love. I also love my laptop, camera, awesome phone and Starbucks.

My JJ. Well, he's not mine really, but I love him, and he loves me. I value God's creatures.

I'm not posting a list of things I don't value. What I don't value, others might hold dear. So, it's a matter of choice and tolerance.

Now, I'm supposed to tag six people. This meme has been around the block twice...so I leave it up to you. Let me know if you decide to do it!!

SHE TAGGED ME, I'VE BEEN MEME'D

Two days ago The Keeper Of All Things tagged me to do a meme of 7's. I was delayed a bit due to a serious medical condition that took me away overnight to sleep while Gary laughed at monitored me. Now, I'm ready! Follow me if you will, and please feel free to do your own 7's because I'm doing a virtual take it or leave it tag.

7 Things I plan to do before I die

1. Finally take my Alaskan Cruise
2. Travel to Ireland, my grandmother's homeland with my distant cousins from NY
3. Travel to the Holy Land, walk the original Stations of the Cross that Jesus walked
4. Write a book.
5. Watch my grandchildren grow up
6. Don't let any of my kids push me around forget who's the parent.
7. Be at peace when the end comes.

7 Things I can do.

1. Hmmm, this can be on so many levels. OK, I used to hang glide, I still kayak
2. For eight years I mentored ESL children in the third world country of Santa Ana CA schools.
3. I used to be able to twirl a mean baton, but not while hula hooping.
4. I used to surf, with a long board, because 45 years ago there wasn't much else to do in my So CA beach town.
5. I can stay up as late as I darn please because I don't plan anything before noon, unless it's a flight somewhere.
6. I can stay up for days on end if I'm winning at black jack in Vegas...without getting hungry!
7. I can snore louder than most people. Verified by my friend Gary.

7 Things I say most often

1. I love you
2. Your kidding
3. Call me back. this is usually ignored
4. I can't believe a pint of ice cream is four servings
5. My prayers.
6. What do you want.
7. Holy mother of all things sacred

7 Celebrity crushes

2. Kelsy Grammer
3. Drew Carey
4. Robert Downey Jr.
5. Garth Brookes
6. Kevin Costner
7. Nick

There you have it! I'm not tagging anyone in particular because Keeper passed it on to people I know who in turn passed it on to 49 other people I know....and I don't even know 49 people. Unless Hollywood starts her blog...then she has to do it. Hollywood? If you do the 7's, let me know, I want to read them!!
