True Friends

Daryl and I had gone out to breakfast a couple of weeks ago and we ran into one of my co-workers and we joined them for breakfast.
We got on the subject of friends and my co-worker says that he bases "friend criteria" on this...If he were stuck on the side of the road at 2 am and he called someone to come and get him..that is a True friend.
That got me thinking and it's true. People that we call our friends..how many of them would come get you at 2 am..no questions asked???
I know that I'm that friend..I've proved it many..many times. But for me...there are few that I know that would get out of bed at 2 am. Looking at that has put a lot of things in prespective for me.
A true friend will be there for you no matter what. Will accept the friendship as it is..not what they can get from you. Won't get mad at you because you don't share their opinion but will love you because you have another opinion. Yes true friends get mad at each other but true friends have no problems saying their sorry if they are wrong and you will say your sorry if your wrong.
Now how many true friends do you have??

Manners

What has happened to them? Let me set the stage if I may.....

I work part time in a bar and yes I am there to take care of the customers but that doesn't give them the right to be rude...

I grew up showing respect and always saying yes,please,thank you, may I, yes ma'am , yes sir..you get the picture and if I didn't my mom would give me that look and I straightened up real quick.

And what gets me is the customers that I mostly serve are from the generation that it was all about manners!!!!!

How hard it is to say Thank you or please or may I instead of get me this or get me that. Or how hard is it to acknowledge a job well done. It doesn't have to be with money but a kind word works the same. Even though I am there to serve you and bring you whatever your little heart desires..it would be nice to hear THANK YOU!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year to the three people who read our blog..... :-)

I can't believe that 2008 is already here. 2007 just flew by too quickly. I had many exciting things happen to me in 2007. I got engaged, got a my dream car..2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP(which also was my engagement present from Daryl) got to travel to California,Maine and Michigan. Got to see lots of family members and be able to introduce Daryl to pretty much all my family.
I was truly blessed in 2007 and hope that the blessing continue in 2008.

I really don't make any resolutions because I am notorious for breaking them. I'm just going to keep on keep on cause whatever I'm doing seems to be working just fine.

May all your wishes and dreams come true in 2008. And I hope that everyone is as blessed as I am in 2008.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
