Quotable Sunday ~Ann Landers

Welcome to another edition of Quotable Sunday!  I have chosen a few of my favorite Ann Landers quotes for you today,  I hope you enjoy them!

 

If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.

 

Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

 

Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised.

 

 

 

If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold you head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."

 

When life's problems seem overwhelming, look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself fortunate.

 

The best things in life aren't things.

Keep Your Mind on the Wheel ~"Never Drive While InTEXTicated"

The dangers of texting or talking on a cell phone while driving are mind boggling! I think we have all seen very bad footage or heard bad stories that come from doing either of these things while you are behind the wheel of a car (or any other vehicle for that matter!)

This is a topic that is very dear to my heart as a lot of my driving time is spent with my children in the car. My 5 year old even knows not to text while driving! Whenever I get a text message ring in the car she always tells me “Mama, you know you can’t text while driving!”

Mom Sends The Msg is asking drivers to take a pledge to stop driving while distracted!

From Their website they say:

Here is what we pledge:

• We pledge to model safe behavior when we drive.
• We pledge to set firm house rules on texting and phoning while driving.
• We pledge to help spread the word on the dangers of distracted driving.

Here is what we ask for:

• We ask for the dangers of distracted driving to be included in drivers’ education classes.
• We ask for innovations in technology to help solve the problem.
• We ask for laws to make it illegal to text and drive.
• We ask for enforcement of existing distracted driving laws and consequences when the laws are broken.
• By working together we will make everyone safer.

BONUS:
Go visit: Live, Laugh, Love and Bloggings, after you have taken the pledge! You can enter her giveaway to win $50 worth of gift cards to spend on Amazon!

So Go Take The Pledge to help keep our roads safe!

Take Me Back Tuesday ~My Little Pumpkin

Take me back to October 2004! When did my little pumpkin get to be 5?? Here is my daughter on her first Halloween, she was just 6 months old! It was a cold snowy night here as many Halloweens are in Colorado, so we stayed home, dressed as a baby pumpkin, posed for the camera and handed out candy.

Mmmm… candy!

No, Mom didn’t really let me eat any!
