Gas Prices :(

I went to town this morning to discover that gas here in Wisconsin ranges from $4.05 - 4.20 dollars a gallon for gas. I can remember when gas prices were 88 cents. Why are these gas prices so increasingly high from 2, 3, 4, 5 years ago. Is something going on no one knows about. Is some making money that shouldn't be making money. Is there extra hands in the pot which shouldn't be? All these questions are great but are they going to change the price per gallon that we are going or about to pay at the pumps. I think this is unrealistic, how can we be paying so much per gallon when here in United States we have our own oil if we would just use it. Why aren't we using our own natural resources. Where is our government going? Why should the average person have to spend that much on gas when the president doesn't have to? What's your thought on the increase in gas prices?? Any thoughts jot them down or just ponder my thoughts..

Words to live by

It's not how much you accomplish in life that really counts, but how much you give to others.
It's not how high you build your dreams that makes a difference, but how high your faith can climb.
It's not how many goals you reach, but how many lives you touch.
It's not who you know that matters, but who you are inside.
Believe in the impossible, hold tight to the incredible, and live each day to its fullest potential. You can make a difference in your world.

Within you is the strength to meet life's challenges

You are stronger than you think,
remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life
helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter
strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome
increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden
you can stand tall,
because you are never given more than you can handle...
and you are stronger than you think.

You can be whatever you want to be!!

You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!
There is inside you all of the potential to be whatever you want to be, all of the energy to do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be, doing what you want to do, and each day, take one step towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too difficult to continue, hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find that you are the person you dreamed of, doing what you wanted to do, simply because you had the courage to believe in your potential and to hold on to your dream.

The Power of Belief!!

Belief is truth. What we believe is true because we act based on our beliefs, and our actions shape the world. We make our own values. We construct the framework that our lives are built around.
Belief precedes knowledge. We learn about the world through a filter, shaping the facts to fit our pre-existing beliefs. For most of us, when new facts come to light that support our belief system, we assimilate them. When new facts call our beliefs into question, we ignore them.
Belief is powerful. What people believe is a blueprint for the kind of society they create. A society that believes humans are violent and bloodthirsty will suffer from crime and war. A society that believes in domination and control will be stratified and hierarchical. A society that believes making money is the key to happiness will be competitive and materialistic.
Power is belief. At some point in our evolution we gave up social power—the power of community—and allowed it to be seized by one person or group. This apparent usurpation is all the more startling when we realize that power is based on simple belief. By allowing ourselves to be convinced that someone else is stronger, more knowledgeable, more moral, closer to God, or just more powerful (whatever that means) than we are, we have in effect participated in our own enslavement.
Belief is irrational. Few of us examine our beliefs critically. We accept what we are taught by our parents, our teachers, our priests, our friends, the media. Since human beings seem to be largely irrational by nature, it is not surprising that we have irrational beliefs. But irrational beliefs can be positive and creative, or they can be destructive. A good example of a destructive irrational belief is the belief in God.
God is a social construct, a model for organizing society. God was invented by men to control others. Since God is perceived as a supreme being, that means all others are lesser beings. The God-model is hierarchical, and it is reflected in the structure of our society. Vertical power relationships are not the only way societies can be organized. Yet our hierarchy habit has visited untold misery and destruction on the world.
Belief entails responsibility. Because we choose our beliefs, we must be accountable for our convictions, rather than blindly accepting ideas that have been passed down to us. If we have control of our beliefs, and beliefs can shape the world, why not believe in something positive? Instead of embracing cults of sacrifice and death, why not acquire beliefs that are life affirming? Rather than adopting social models that grind us down and bleed us of dignity and self-esteem, why not choose beliefs that can bring out the best in our human nature?
Beliefs can change. Not easily, but it can happen. Beliefs change when significant events in our lives touch our hearts. Intellectual arguments rarely change beliefs.
So, be careful what you believe because it's true.

Believe

"What we think or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence.The only thing of consequence is what we do." ~ John Ruskin

One Angel - No Wings

I worked the graveyard shift last night Oh my god, I saw some sights! I had a constant stream of admissions Mostly old, with chronic conditions
Gout and asthma, and a few heart pains Even a sprinkling of varicose veins People yelling and wetting their beds Sending us nurses off our heads
Someone let out a ripping fart Made me gasp … and clutch my heart Then a snort, a grunt, a yelp Those people really should get help!
That lady in the farthest bed She was so pale I thought she was dead Her pallor was just a trick of light My god!! she sure gave me a fright
I worked my butt off, as per usual Charts, charts, charts for my perusal B/P's were done - standing and lying I weighed them all and felt like crying
I wiped up poop and dished out pans Then rubbed some butts with my caring hands I did the obs, the whole damn lot Gave morning meds then cleaned the grot
So there I was earning my crust Even though I cursed and cussed! I am an Angel dressed in white Walking the ward in the midst of night

Listening is a virtue

Being a nurse I came to learn that you don't have to always give advise or talk patients through there problems. It is very important to just listen.
" One of the greatest gifts you can give to anyone is the gift of attention and listening ear. But don't be so quick to offer advice on how to fix the person's situation, just listen for once. Then if they ask you for advice, give it but put yourself in the other person's shoes. Don't always be so quick to say, 'I woulda, shoulda, coulda', just help the person live and learn from the experience so they won't walk away with another regret in life."

Climbing Obstacles

When you climb to the top of the obstacle that is blocking your view, you are able to look at your situation from a different perspective. -Lucy MacDonald

A motivational thought!

To be tireless is to ensure success. The one who is tireless is prepared for every situation of life and so is not afraid of anything that happens. To be tireless means to be able to understand the situation in an accurate way and to have the ability to move forward inspite of all the difficult situations. It also means to learn from each and every situation and move forward constantly. When we are able to be tireless in all the situations of our life, we are able to understand things clearly. We don't experience any fear but are able to move forward with confidence knowing that we will surely be successful. With our tirelessness, we ensure success even when the worst challenges come our way.

Powerful

To have power means to enjoy the variety of life. When there is the inner strength there is enthusiasm to give the best and also to learn and improve with every obstacle. To work with inner power is to be like a skilled player whose focus is on enjoying the match too rather than just on winning. When we have learned the art of focusing on our strengths, we are able to enjoy the variety scenes that life brings for me. We would enjoy dealing with all these different scenes in a natural and easy way, and also be naturally victorious. And so we have the benefit of double enjoyment.

Sunday Prayer

Lord, help me to be a good wife, I fully realize that I don't have what it takes to be one without your help. Take my selfishness, impatience, and irritability and turn them into kindness, long suffering and willingness to bear all things. Take my old emotional habits, mindsets, automatic reactions, rude assumptions, and self protective stance, and make me patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self controlled. Take the hardness of my heart and break down the walls with your battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work your love, peace, and joy. I am not able to rise above who I am at this moment. Only you can transform me.
Show me where there is sin in my heart, especially with regard to my husband. I confess the times I've been unloving, critical, angry, resentful, disrespectful, or unforgiving toward him. Help me to put aside any hurt, anger, or disappointment I feel and forgive him the way You do - totally and completely, no looking back. Make me a tool of reconciliation, peace, and healing in this marriage. Enable us to communicate well and rescue us from the threshold of separation where the realities of divorce begin. Make me my husband's helpmate, companion, champion, friend, and support. Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe place for him to come home to. Teach me how to take care of myself and stay attractive to him. Grow me into a creative and confident woman who is rich in mind, soul, and spirit. Make me the kind of woman he can be proud to say is his wife.
I lay all my expectations at your cross. I release my husband from the burden of fulfilling me in areas where I should be looking to you. Help me to accept him the way he is and not try to change him. I realize that in some ways he may never change, but at the same time, I release him to change in ways I never thought he could. I leave any changing that needs to be done in your hands, fully accepting that neither of us is perfect and never will be. Only you, lord, are perfect and I look to you to perfect us. Teach me how to pray for my husband and make my prayers a true language of love. Where love has died, create new love between us. Show me what unconditional love really is and how to communicate it in a way he can clearly perceive. Bring unity between us so that we Can be in agreement about everything (Amos 3:3). May the god of patience and comfort grant us to be like minded toward one another, according to Jesus Christ (Romans 15:5). Make us a team, not pursuing separate, competitive, or independent lives, but working together, overlooking each others faults and weaknesses for the greater good of the marriage. Help us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another (Romans 14:19). May we be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement (1 Corinthians 1:10).
I pray that our commitment to you and to one another will grow stronger and more passionate every day. Enable him to be the head of the home as you made him to be, and show me how to support and respect him as he rises to that place of leadership. Help me understand his dreams and see things from his perspective. Reveal me what he wants and needs and show me potential problems before they arise. Breathe your life into this marriage.
Make me a new person, lord. Give me a fresh perspective, a positive outlook, and a renewed relationship with the man you've given me. Help me see him with new eyes, new appreciation, new love, new passion, and new acceptance. Give my husband a new wife, and let that new wife be me.

DID YOU KNOW!!

Believe me this is my last late post on Father's Day! Here is a little bit of history on Fathers Day that you may have known or didn't know and I will follow the history of Father's Day with a poem...

Father's Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males, just as Mother's Day celebrates motherhood. Father's Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate fathers or forefathers. Typically, giving gifts to fathers and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Ironically, more reverse charge (collect) calls are made on Father's Day than any other day. In the United States, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The driving force behind the establishment of the celebration of Father's Day was Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis's efforts to establish Mother's Day. Although she initially suggested June 5, the anniversary of her father's death, she did not provide the organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday in June.
The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was immediate and widespread. Woodrow Wilson was personally so feted by his family in 1916, and Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924. The all-male U.S. Congress, however, was mindful that passing a measure so favorable to males could be seen as a conflict of interest. In 1966, Lyndon Johnson made Father's Day a holiday to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially recognized until the presidency of Richard Nixon in 1972.


What Makes A Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad
-Author unknown

Father's Day!

Yes, I realize that last weekend was father's day. I forgot all about it working 12 hours 4 days a week takes a lot out of a person. I came to the realization that it was last weekend when dale read my blog and said hey did you know Father's day was last weekend?

I woke up this morning and thought tomorrow was father's day. I figured I would do the ritual that I do every year. Get up and go to the cemetery where my father was laid to rest 9 years ago. Who knew that nine years ago when I was 21 years old I would lose my father from the complications to heart surgery. I knew his outcome of the surgery was 50% chance but who would have imagined that 14 days after his surgery he would have past on. I remember after his death, crying everyday on my way to work and on my way home from work being so upset that he was gone, never even saying my goodbyes or telling him how much he meant to me. Even after what I went through while I was young I still loved my father. I never once in my life told him that and I regret all the regrets that I didn't do while he was alive. I wished our relationship was a lot better than it was before his passing. If one knew what they know now would they have changed it. I believe in some circumstance you would and some you wouldn't. After he passed away, I remember telling my sister I would give up anything in my life to have one more day with him, but I believe god had better plans for him.

If we could bring you back again,

For one more hour or day,

We’d express all our unspoken love;

We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,

We’d say we treasured you,

And that your presence in our lives

Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,

To tell you what we should,

You’d know how much we miss you now,

And if we could, we would.

Life

Life for most of us, should be pretty good. We have all heard what life is supposed to offer: endless opportunities, the fulfillment of our dreams, and a chance to live each day in a way that brings happiness and success. Most of us want and need at least a successful job or career, a good family life, and reasonable financial security. We expect that from life and hope to get that out of life. We know deep inside that we deserve our fair share and we have every right to attain it.

Have you ever wondered, then, why things don't work out the way they should? Why do we not get from life many of the things we would like to have and know we should? Why do some people seem to be "lucky," while the great majority of the rest of us seem not to be?

Why are some people, day to day, happier, more productive, more fulfilled than others? What makes the difference? Is is some kind of fate, which in some mysterious way charts our destiny and leaves little of the steering of our course through life up to us?

Is the control of our lives in our hands or isn't it? And if we can, or should control our lives, what goes wrong? What holds us back? If we truly would like to do better, be the way we really would like to be, and be happier and more successful every day in every area of living, what is it that stands in our way of being the best person we can be?

Ponder a little or write your ideas.

Town's history!

Do you know your towns history and what it all in tales? As I was searching on the web for a little information on a few things I ran across this and thought wow this is a little cool. I didn't even realize that this little town of Polonia was even on the map. So to my amazement I will be blogging what I have retrieved.

The second oldest Polish agricultural settlement was established in Wisconsin. Usually, we say Polonia, but this is not precise enough.
As early as 1857, attracted by the lumber industry, Michael von Koziczkowski came to the town of Sharon with his family of nine. He was from the province of Gdansk (Danzig), an educated man who spoke Polish and German fluently, and had knowledge of four other languages as well. He lived in Chicago, then in Milwaukee, and finally came to this area with $50.00 in his pocket. Koziczkowski bought his laud, ultimately about 480 acres, from a German immigrant, Joseph Osterle. Koziczkowski was in contact with his countrymen--Polish families who wanted to follow him. In 1858 Adam Klesmit arrived along with John Zynda and Joseph Platta. They purchased their land from the Fox and Wisconsin River Improvement Company. New immigrants began coming and settling in the town of Sharon and the town of Hull.
In 1870, among the population of Sharon, except for 50 families, i.e., 50 x 5 = 250 persons, the entire population of 948 was Polish. In 1880 the, population was 1,640 and included only 28 non-Polish families. In 1900 the population of Sharon numbered 2,225, the majority of whom were Polish.
In the town of Hull, there were 108 families in 1870. Less than half were Polish. In 1880, two-thirds of the population of Hull was Polish; in 1900, the total population was 1,500 with the heavy majority of it Polish.

The origin of these settlers according to marriage acts was Prussia, Pommerania (Prussian or German partition), Poznan (Posen), Gdansk (Danzig), Pomerania. Localities mentioned were Koscierzyna, Lipusz, Brussy-Chojnice, Suleczyn, Kartuzy, Leszno and Gowidlino. A portion of them claimed to be Koszubi-Kashubs (locally pronounced Kashuba, Kaszuby).

The creation of a Polish community in Portage County was early. Apparently it was chartered before Parisville, Michigan. The center of this settlement was today’s Ellis. There was a church, St. Martin’s. Some controversies developed as to the place of the Poles in the church. Another church, St. Joseph’s was then built, with the permission of Bishop John Henni of Milwaukee, in 1864--one block away from St. Martin’s. That church was surrounded by three taverns. According to Rosholt and Zeitlin, this corner with three taverns was called Poland Corner. This assumption does not seem justified. Probably the whole area, including the church, was called Poland Corner.

In 1870, at his own request, Father Joseph Dabrowski was appointed to Poland Corner by Bishop Melcher of Green Bay. After an unsuccessful attempt to free his parishioners from the negative influences of the taverns, he decided to move the parish beyond Ellis. An Irish farmer, McGeer, not even baptized nor involved in any church, decided to donate 20 acres to the east of Poland Corner where Polonia was to be established. The basis for his decision might have been the love affair of his daughter with a Polish boy. The new church was opened in 1872 under the name Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. The parish had already moved from Ellis to Polonia by 1870 and the settlement started at that time.

Now that you know some history about my townships, what can you tell me about yours?

Picture Tag!!

My first job was at Churny cheese company of Waupaca, Wisconsin, it is a division of KRAFT foods.

My favorite place is vacation and being in by the mountains they are so peaceful and beautiful and if anyone has ever seen Wisconsin obviously we have no mountains in sight.

My favorite food would be steak from chili's restaurants and there southern mashed potatoes and gravy (to die for).

My favorite color: which is purple.

A nickname of mine: When I was young my father used to call me KOKO.

A place that I will visit: Tahiti

My age at my next birthday.

Take time and do the picture tag because you are it!!

Going way back

Searching through all my pictures I do not have any of me when I was little so I decided to put pictures of dale on the blog. THis is dale when he was in pre-school through 2nd grade.
This is dale when he was around tem or eleven years old, with his friends. At least they weren't imaginary.
Dale during our honey moon at a old cabin in the woods up north.
Dale today. Hope you enjoyed dales memory lane.

Good times:)

Brit and I are making fun of each other and having a great time. Dale and My life has changed since she came into our lives. She brings a new adventure every day..

Last day on the shell of the house

Gary and the crew are finally done with their part now it is up to dale and I to keep the progress of the house moving. I believe it will be a slow progress, but eventually it will get done.

Brittany's room is finally finished

Looks like she had alot of fun painting her room. I let her use her imagination and do what ever she wanted to do in her room that dale and I designed for her. From looking at the pictures you would have guessed that she is having alot of fun painting the walls and herself. She actually took the paint roller and painted her own face. lol.
I think her room came out great. she is very talented girl. She used green and blue for the walls and them put hand prints on the ceiling and put words on the ceiling such as peace, love, live, happiness, laughter, laugh, sing, scream, believe, and etc. I just think that the room is a great addition to our little home we have. We are glad that we get this opportunity to help her out in her time of need..

The goof ball!

My niece Brittany has been living with us for almost 5 weeks now. Everyday is a new adventure for both dale and I. We are not really parent material but we are trying to do our best to help her out as much as possible from the pictures I'm thinking were doing an okay job of raising her/ crouping her.

Beauty in the sky!!

The other night the sky was so full of color it was just gorgeous. I could not help myself, I just had to take pictures of it. How can the sky have so many beautiful colors all at one time. How can mother nature be so beautiful but at times be so dreadful and crude. How can it be so easy to take pictures of something so beautiful but then at the same time be so horrible taking pictures of a dreadful seen.
I just keep thinking to myself how cool and amazing it was to see. I also thought of how wonderful it was to share this moment with my husband. This doesn't happen everyday where the sky is filled with so many colors. I just ask why?
