Hi Everybody,
This is my post for Unit 4. I decided to talk a little about quotes. I always gave my sister this credit because she ALWAYS tells me this: "Tough times don't last but tough people do!" Well, it's a great quote to go by when there's some tough times. I proceeded to ask her where she ever heard it or where it came from and she told me Reverend Schuller. Another one is: " Faith + Focus + Follow Through = Achievement" (Rev. Schuller) I'm sorry I do not know the year, but that's a start for me with a quote! I repeat "Tough times don't last but tough people do" in my head all the time when I'm down and out or if there is financial hard times. I pass it on to my friends when they come to me with a problem or there's something wrong in their relationship, I pass this tip on because their strong words to go by. Although I can't give my sister credit anymore I got to give it to the Rev.

I don't really have any quotes of my own that I know, but I wouldn't like it if someone used a quote that I said. As for the one above, I did give my sister credit for a long time, if I would say it I'd tell a friend my sister said something to me a long time ago and I live for those words, but now I have to give the credit to someone else which is fine! For all who like the quote, use it and pass it on!

Hope you all enjoy!

Well Hello There!
I have a couple things to say..I had a brainstorm this morning with a choice of topic, I thought of Gambling, which I could talk about the effects of gambling, the signs, and the treatment for it. I'm waiting to hear from Ellen to see if this is a possible topic I could go with. If not then I will do the original one that struck me first was "Preventing Teenage Pregnancy".

Another thing that I can say is I do love the on-line schooling. It is very flexible for me with having kids..mom's you all know! I am unemployed at the time so I am very dedicated to my courses. It is great discipline for one that wants to accomplish their goal. I usually get up every morning at 6:15 to get hubby off to work and then I sit and do my school work before the kids get up. This allows me to spend the afternoon at the pool or do things with the kids. I am one of those people who needs complete quietness to read because my attention spand is that of a fly! I am easily distracted to say the least! The other thing I can say is I have a horrible sense of direction! lol

I hope you all enjoy! Dawn
