Doughnuts and Walking

Hello World!

Not sure if these count as superhero deeds - you decide.

I walked with a dear friend of mine when I had already walked that morning. She wanted someone to walk with her. We only walked a mile and not fast at all (for those that know me, I walk fast - it is exercise). I love her dearly - she is my 2nd mom.

I bought doughnuts for the folks at my local bank. They are always so patient with me when I go in - I'm never prepared. I know, I know - a superhero is always prepared or is that the boyscouts...

Peace, Love, and Happiness.

And remember, it's not about you; it's about them.

Another Day Another Superhero Deed?

Can't get it out of my mind - it's not about you; it's about them.

Superhero deed -- My mom is in the hospital; she just had surgery. I spent a few hours with her this morning. She had to pee really badly. We called the nurse several times. I could have let her pee on herself because I really don't know how to help. But... it's not about me; it's about her. Therefore, I put on the purple gloves and helped her up and held the pink pan while she peed. Good deed - you decide. (what is it with me and pee? remember my beginning posts)

All is well in the world (I hope).

God Bless.

Rango - the movie. Who new that I could have received a message from this movie? Guess what the wise old armadillo said to Rango? Yep - "It's not about you; it's about them." Somebody trying to tell me something out there? (2nd message like this in 2 days see other post) Well, I'm listening.

Good deed for the day - took my daughters and Zach to see Rango at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. It wasn't so much about the movie (or so I thought) but about the Fox. I hope they enjoyed it.

Remember, it's not about us - it's about everybody else.

Goodnight.

I know, I know

Yes, I said I was going to start back with my superhero ways, but I haven't posted anything. Well, I'm back....

While at the pool with my daughter today, I was speaking with an older gentleman who I have known for quite awhile. He's retired, but still working. He said something that really stuck with me -- It's not about us; it's about everybody else. This was preceded with a discussion about God and what He wants. This discussion took place at around 2:00 pm just out of the blue. I'm really quite amazed at how it happened. In our conversation at that moment, his last words to me were -- It's not about us; it's about everybody else. He then got up and walked away like there really was nothing left to say.

Therefore, as I pondered my life as a superhero, these words continued to come to mind. While checking out at a local store, I let 2 people go before me (I kinda felt like I broke in front of one of them so I had to let them go ahead). But, it is about everyone else and not me.

Thanks for listening. I hope your day is filled with superhero events.

God Bless you all for it is about you and Him.

It's been awhile

It's been awhile since I've blogged. Thought I would try it again. After my surgery last year, I just kinda got out of the groove. Not sure if I can write... Some days I think my superhero powers WERE actually in my uterus. My husband doesn't think so. Anyway - superhero today? I'm keeping my baby cousin. She is terrorizing the dog - the dog doesn't think I'm a superhero. She's like - why is that darn baby here again!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. I haven't been very superheroie lately (I'm sure that's not a word...). Just trying to maintain. I'd like to start back being a superhero so stay tuned - same bat time, same bat channel.

Day 50-54

Well, I performed a superhero deed to (day 54). I wasn't expecting it. An older gentleman flagged me down as I was heading home from picking up my daughters from swim practice. There was another older lady across the road that needed to use a phone because her car broke down. Of course, I pulled over and dialed the number for the lady and gave her the phone. She was unable to reach her sister so I kept trying. In the meantime, a couple pulled up behind us asking if we needed help. I explained that her car quit in the middle of the road. They pulled over to assist. Still no luck. I called my husband to come and help. In the meantime, another couple pulled over to assist. We got in touch with her sister and they were also coming to help. The dear older woman was a diabetic and not feeling to well. She had a cell phone, but it was not with her. She also had diabetic medicine, but it was not with her. The first couple was going to take her home and my husband and I were going to stay at her car until her sister and nephew came. All the men that had pulled over pushed her car off to the side. Well, about the time she was getting in the car, her relatives pulled up. She hugged us all. I'm finding out that there are more and more superheros in this world that I didn't know existed.
