Worth thinking about
'Peanuts' comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them.
Just read it straight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and
actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies..
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another few. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and
special!!
5 Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Easier?
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the
most credentials....the most money...or the most awards.
They simply are the ones who care the most.

7 Truths
7 Truths
1. I Love my job
Fact. I absolutely love teaching my kids at drama school. I think it's a rare thing nowadays which is a shame. I still act and write too which is fantastic.
2. Self obsessed people - ARGH!
Cannot stand them. Newsflash - The world doesn't revolve around you, most people are too busy with their own lives to give a monkies. Sadly, in my line of work, they are everywhere!
3. I Love to be Right
Can't help it, but I do love when I'm right. Which I am most of the time.
4. I Love Planning
This is a bit of a secret one, and most people wouldn't know this - but I actually love to plan things! I tend to pretend I'm a spur of the moment person, but in all honestly I'm all about planning... And planning... And planning...
5. I Love to throw a Party
I absolutely love to throw a good party and to have my friends and family over. If there's an occassion, (any occassion will do), you can be sure that I'm planning a big party! I've had a few through the years and now with Jackson in my life there will be lots and lots more parties in the future! His first birthday party is coming up soon...
6. I Love to try new things/experience new things
I'm always looking for new things to learn and read up on. The next item on my loooooong list is scuba diving and sign language... I honestly think that we are here to learn, and it will only make your life richer and more meaningful. One secret fave of mine is Science mags... Yup, it's true.
7. I like the Supernatural
There are so many things we can't explain and I don't believe in "what you see is what you get". I think Spirituality is very important and we have somehow lost it - or some of it anyway. I'm not sure exactly what I believe in yet, I'm still searching and shopping around but the supernatural is intriguing... The truth is out there.
