Late Easter Memories

Hello, I had a good Easter last weekend. My son, my fiancee and myself went to his family's house and had a wonderful Easter. I had to study most of the day on this business course because I had a test on Monday morning at 8:00 am. The guys all helped Grandpa (Charles) pick up the sticks in his yard and clean up the " doggie dootie" Grandpa is 75 years old now and has a hard time with the yard, it was nice for everyone to pitch in. Grandma(Gereldine) can get up out of her wheelchair on her own, and sit down on the couch. This is a great relief since she had to spend six months in the nursing home because she couldn't do these types of things for herself anymore. She worked really hard to get better and came home. It's good to see her able to help herself. We are so proud of her and happy to not have to worry as much about her. I spoke with my mom and dad, children, sisters and nephews, I wished them all a Happy Easter. I also had a couple of birthdays in the family this week my dad and sister. I was happy to talk to my boys and wish them a great day! We were suppose to sing in the choir at church on Easter Sunday but my fiancee wanted to spend as much time as he could with his family, so we missed this. That's ok!! We all remember that Jesus hung on the cross and died for our sins, and we said a prayer before dinner to remind us about Easter. It is amazing how events that happened over 2000 years ago, bring family's together still today. God Bless You! Well bye for now...

Marketing and Financial Management

Hello again, I am on to my next adventure in my education courses for this year. I am starting a business course this morning. I have already completed 2 credit hours in this course so this will be the last one needed. I am proud that I recieved a 99% grade in my public speech class. I am waiting to see about my grades for 3 credit hours in computers. I have one test left so wish me luck. I have also made employee of the month at my job.This is the second time in a couple of years that I was choosen for employee of the month. My performance review says I am outstanding at interacting with customers and I am a great person to work with.I think it is important to have a great attitude at your job no matter where you work. It is hard sometimes especially when boses are always evaluating you.I have had other reviews that were not so great and it upset me but life is a learning experience. You have to learn that diversity comes with having a job, being in a relationship, owning your own company, going to school, ect.. Just move foward and try to learn something. Try to remember that we live in a democracy. Different personalities and opinions will always be a part of life.

This morning I will be starting on chapter 13 in business "Building Customer Relations Through Effective Marketing." I have already completed the other 12 chapters in this business section so hopefully this will go good. I love to study business, I tried to take an international business course and was told I needed to be on campus to do so. Long distance learning has it's advantages but also some disadvantages. It's possible that we might be moving soon, to a place that will put me at a college, so that I can complete some of the courses that I need to graduate. A type of change will be necessary to complete my higher education. I miss being at the campus where all the other students study for college. I miss living at the doorms at UNK, that was a blast! It was a great benifit to me to have other people around with the same goals as mine "to graduate." Well wish me luck!!

Dreams

" I dreamt last night that hate was defeated and love ruled the earth.

I dreamt last night that hunger was wiped out and nourishment filled our bellies.

I dreamt last night that homelessness disappeared and shelter covered the land.

I dreamt last that injustice was overcome and goodness filled all hearts.

I dreamt last night that despair was no more and hope shone eternal.

I dreamt last night that war ceased to be and peace settled the land.

Some people say that dreams are for children.

I say that dreamers keep us alive."
