The Timetable of Life
Schedules - Day Planners - Blackberry's - Calendars...... Are you the type of person that likes to plan out your day, your week and so on? I believe that most of us do like to make plans and tell ourselves that certain things will or must happen at specific times. When we can arrange our lives on a schedule it truly does seem to make it less stressful and more productive.

First of all, I sincerely miss not having my children close by so that I can enjoy their company and that of my grandchildren. Yes, holidays have a special significance and we do pay respect to this, however, your own children and their families bring a different and exciting atmosphere to the occasion. Young children bring innocence and a type of humor that is priceless. Putting that aside, my heart is also heavy with the fact that there are countless people out there - adults and children alike, that absolutely have no clue about the true meaning of Easter . Be assured, I'm not slandering the Easter bunny, egg hunts and all of the attachments that the holiday brings. These festivities are not what the spiritual side of Easter is about but they are an added delight and joy for the entire family. The true joy and deligh...
