Thanksgiving time

Dear friends,
This week I get to visit my dear grandparents! I am so excited. Though I must admit, sadly when I first heard of it I was not at all thrilled. My school was pressing hard on me and I felt the crunch of time breathing down my neck. Only four weeks till freedom, and I'm hanging on for dear life. Never-the-less, I should have felt excited about going. It is rare now days to get to go to VA. I love going after all it is where I was born, but this time I could care less. I knew deep inside that was wrong. One night, I laid it all out at the feet of the Father. Ever since, He has given me a desire and joy to go. Yes, I still have relatless school beating me on my back, but my grandparents are more important to me than my grades and my work. Family, where would you be without them...you wouldn't be born. I'm taking my camera this week, and in doing so I hope that I can show the prides of my heart.

You haven't met anyone until you have met my grandparents! I can brag about them, because they are mine. My granddaddy is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet. My grandma! Oh...I now know where the spunky side of my mom came from. I have great, great respect for her not just as my grandma, but as a woman. When I post pictures, I shall tell you of my favorite memories of each person.

ATTITUDE

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, And noticed she had only three hairs on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.' So she did and she had a wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror And saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.' So she did and she had a grand day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed That she had only one hair on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.' So she did, and she had a fun, fun day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and Noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. 'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!' Attitude is everything. Be kinder than necessary, For everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly, And pray continually. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain. It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived. I was sent this in an e-mail from Tennessee School of Beauty. This e-mail has brought more respect for the school and I am eagerly looking foreword to the possibility of attending the school.
