SKYPE HYPE!

“SKYPE HYPE!” So, three weeks from tonight, at this time, I will be Skyping, then typing, then wiping... Skyping my girl good night at college for the 1st time, and after that, typing a note to text her for her 1st day of classes for the 1st time at college, and then privately shedding a few tears. NOT for the 1st time! PIMP LOL. Then, wiping them away so no one notices. It’s hard to believe it came so fast… When she was little, instead of Skype, it was diap. Now, that’s a change! PIMP LOL. Instead of type, it was pipe. Blowing bubbles through a little pipe. And, instead of wipe (my tears), it was wipe hers. PIMP LOL. Why the phone photograph? I was thinking how in the past that’s all we had to talk to our parents. Now? We can Skype and type (text) and then privately wipe… And, all that hype. So glad. I’m hyped for the Skype! Finally! Oh! And, I’m extremely tired and exhausted this past couple weeks from health stuff, so I would so appreciate your prayers for the upcoming move and trip. I’ll be doing a lot of resting to help fix this being wiped out! Thank you guys. Oh! And, time really does fly and so do our kids. Out of the nest. So, spend time helping them spread those wings.

WINDOWS & DOORS!

“WINDOWS & DOORS!” So, having the internet and social sites allows all of us to connect with so many we never could have, local and far, and I am thankful so much for it. I have used the internet to open windows for others to see into my world. Windows without blinds and curtains blowing back allowing the fresh air of friendship and hope and humor and music to come in. All via my stories and our music. Hoping others will find the whoas in the woes and amusing in the accusing with me. But, a window was never meant to replace the front door. I’m not knocking the window. I just like knocking the door. PIMP LOL. And, others to knock the door. Like I said, changed my life being able to share my heart through the internet. I can’t always use front doors, either. Just saying that if able and if local, the door is always easier to walk through than a window. Oh, I know most times, these days, with internet, it’s much easier to just look through the window and see and know what’s going on without really being in someone’s life. You can give “kinds words” through the window, but you can give “kind you”, mind you, through the door. I don’t want to end so serious so I will throw in my window knock-knock joke. Here goes: It’s about my 2 friends, Window and Shutter. It seems they had a bad argument! So, here goes the joke about the situation between them. Knock, knock? Who's there? Shutter! Shutter who? I shutter at the thought of facing Window today! If I don't open up and air things out? It could be curtains for me! PIMP LOL TNT. I know sometimes, as the saying goes, when God closes a door He opens a window, but I also think if we close a window, sometimes we will actually open the door! I am sorry if my window has become streaky and my door squeaky. I try very hard not let that happen. Maybe I need to take some time to just clean and oil them. Meantime, my back door will be open...

DISCOVER WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF! DO YOU HANDLE IT OR “FIST”LE IT?!”

“DISCOVER WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF! DO YOU HANDLE IT OR “FIST”LE IT?!” So, I just Discovered that my name on our Discover account is Yosie. What?!@? See, I called to tell them they made the same mistake for the 3rd time on our account of making a double payment. My Discover was once had paid off back when I got very sick. Had to get my affairs in order. Paid off all our credit cards and vehicle when I was very ill with my KSC savings. Not enough for the house. Darn. Didn’t want to leave them with burdens. Anyways, I’m still here and we’ve had a few burdens so we used Discover and they screwed me again by taking out a double payment. We aren’t rich enough anymore to keep a real padded account so it’s close! And, with college, etc, it was re-e-e-al close. So, anyways, when I called they asked very meanly and sarcastically if Yosie was there because Tracy didn’t have permission to talk about this account. I asked them if they asked permission from Yosie to take out the double payment out of her account. Along with several other questions. The lady kept hollering without letting me get a word in. I mean come on. Yo! My name is not Yosie! It’s Tracy. She was so belligerent and I got pretty upset and almost irate. IRATE LOL (see link for my newest acronym https://www.facebook.com/notes/tracy-glenn/irate-lol/10151521220873404). I gotta find humor in the madly ridiculous! Anyways, I discovered that I was tired and needed to talk to God about it and lay my burdens down and then call Discover back to fix it...quickly. When stuff happens, we discover what we’re made of. I handled it. Instead of “fist”ling it! DUH LOL. But, I did insist on speaking to the manager and then his manager and then his until I discovered how persistence and patience and, yes, pleasantness under extreme pettiness, pays off, as usual. I discovered 3 times was enough for me. I know, easier said than done, but sometimes we have to kindly put up with instead of put ‘em up…in anger. When tempers flare, tenderness is rare. Don’t get burnt with a bad temper. Keep it rare. With tenderness… Discover the deep-down. And, He will say: well done faithful servant!

Free!

“FREE!” So, I received an email that said I was an original free spirit in all I do. PIMP LOL. I think they meant crazy! But, it got me thinking! Freely! PIMP LOL. I like to be a free thinker always trying to be on the brink of thinking up something unique. I like to be original, funny and musical. And, put my stuff out there on the internet to connect and link up with others. I also like to fix stuff, write, decorate and work my magic. So, that makes me a free thinker, a free brinker, a free inker, a free linker, a free tinker-er, a free stinker, a free singk-er! And, a free blinker workin’ my magic. Just kiddin’. Now, I’m a free shrinker! Cuz, really? My help comes my God who gives me all I need to be me. I am a free drinker of the water of life. BTW? The photodrama is me freely thinking that I will next paint the grass purple! After painting the jeans and the blue brick walls. Still can't decide on a color for the trees... SIGNED, The Free In Me

AFTERTHOUGHTS ARE BEFORE YOU!

“AFTERTHOUGHTS ARE BEFORE YOU!” What? So, being an afterthought can sometimes make you feel useless in the midst of the “during” and before you know it? You’re having a pity party. That’s okay. A quiet one will do. Then, get over it! The best way to get over being an afterthought? Think of others before your thoughts of you. And, a small 2-person pity party just can’t hurt. After all? He knows how you feel! PIMP LOL. And, He knows how you feel before all. After all! Yes, afterthoughts will be before you at many times in your life. It’s what you do after them that counts. After all… What you do when you’re an afterthought becomes you. After all… So, we try to be becoming... SIGNED, Before, During & Afterthoughter Becomes Me
