Needed a Laugh...
Wednesday, May 30, 2012
Gladiolus, Cerise, Luxuriance, Asceticism...
What do all these words have in common? ....
They are all words that were winning words for the champions of the National Spelling Bee. This year's spelling bee is a bit unique because Lori Anne Madison (6) was a participant. She is from Woodbridge, VA and is "the youngest speller on record with the Scripps National Spelling Bee" (http://www.spellingbee.com/). From watching a video about her and reading an article, she seems like a typical 6 year old but with an advanced reading/spelling level. One of the things that establishes this is that "She learned to read at age two and is grade levels beyond her peers" (http://fox4kc.com/2012/05/30/an-adorable-speller/). It doesn't seem like she was pressured into participating in the spelling bee or practicing for it.
Her story stood out to me because of my own love for words, reading, etc. Unfortunately, she did not make it past the preliminary rounds because she " misspelled one of her two words [...] 'ingluvies,' which she started with an 'e' " (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/30/50-spellers-advance-to-national-spelling-bee-semifinals/).

Did you ever participate in a spelling bee? If so, what do you remember about it?

A Reason, A Season, A Lifetime
Today was one of those days that I was reminded of how lucky I am to have the friends that I do. Often, I don't realize why someone was brought into my life until I am in a rough patch or that person is no longer a part of my life. Though, even when I have thought someone was out of my life forever, they reappear. It's truly amazing how and why someone comes into another's life. On the other hand, I love when I realize that I have affected someone else's life in a positive manner or someone tells me what I mean to them. When this happens, it reminds me that my actions do matter and to choose wisely.
Reflecting on all of this reminds me of the question I frequently ask myself. What's really important? Life is an constant learning process with peaks and valleys. It is extremely difficult to remember how blessed a life this is during the valleys. Even more so, it's hard to focus on keeping on the right path. Those who know me well know that my mind tends to wander at times!
I'd continue on, but my mind is finally winding down. It is definitely past bedtime. So, I will leave you with the following poem:
Reason, Season, or Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
