What a MESS!!!
So yesterday morning my youngest son comes upstairs while I am in a deep sleep and says... "Mom there is water pouring down out of the ceiling onto your computer". NOT a good sign! After having several neighbors come over to help me move desks, computers etc then we called a plumber to come out. He had to replace a pipe! Now I am sitting here at my kitchen table on my computer. This picture below is now what my ceiling looks like right above where my desk and computer used to be. It's amazing all the damage one little pipe breaking can cause!
Thanks to my son I am set up to be able to use my computer at the kitchen table for now until we get my house in order. We have fans blowing and hope to soon be able to start replacing sheet rock etc. What a MESS!!

100 Poems to Lift Your Spirits
No matter what the occasion, this collection of poems is the perfect gift to cheer up a friend or family member. Here, in this compact volume, are 100 poems written by the world's greatest poets, some inspiring, some hilarious, and all memorable. Each delightful poem is preceded by an illuminating headnote. Among the poems included are classics, such as Schiller's "Ode to Joy," Wordsworth's "My Heart Leaps Up," Longfellow's "A Psalm of Life," and Dickinson's "'Hope is the Thing with Feathers." This collection includes many more captivating works that take as their exhilarating theme the limitless possibilities of human existence. Whether it's through inspired nonsense or insightful commentary, these poems will leave readers feeling happier and enriched for having read them. Thanks to Hachette Book Company I get to give away five of this book! (Only residents of US or Canada are eligible. No PO boxes)
The Power to Change today by Gregory Dickow:
How many people go through their days feeling dissatisfied or even feeling their lives have no purpose or meaning? Perhaps money, time or love seem in short supply. Or one doesn't have the body they'd like or the perfect job or the perfect mate. What kind of faith can give the strength and encouragement to break free from emotional and spiritual discontentment?
In this debut work Pastor Dickow, brings a compelling vision for conquering negativity and achieving breakthroughs toward successful living. Through attaining a deep connection with God one can learn the keys to mastering destructive emotions and eradicating personal stress. Direct and heartfelt in its narrative, THE POWER TO CHANGE TODAY is more than a typical self-help book. It not only includes a full discussion of spiritual and common sense wisdom, but also reveals the story of Pastor Dickow's personal journey through a painful childhood, a crisis of faith and a miracle conversion. Thanks to Hachette Book Company I get to give away five of this book! (Only residents of the US or Canada are eligible. No PO boxes please)
Ten Powerful Phrases by Rich DeVos:
The simple act of offering a kind word or two can have power to change lives in positive and profound ways.In TEN POWERFUL PHRASES FOR POSITIVE PEOPLE, DeVos focuses each chapter on one key phrase, such as "I'm Proud of You," or "I Believe in You," that he has found to help individuals overcome differences, build relationships, instill confidence, change attitudes, and generally make us feel positive about ourselves and about helping others. Each phrase is illustrated through anecdotes from DeVos's experiences and about people whose lives have been touched either by saying or hearing one of the small but powerful phrases. Anyone with the ability to offer a kind word to a friend, family member, or coworker will benefit from this book's positive, practical wisdom.
