A lot of people have said very kind things to me over the years. Many have utterred inspirational words I’ll never forget. Maybe one day I’ll share those wonderful, articulate moments with you. But today, I want to share some of the more negative or embarrassing things people have said – the uninspired words I’ll never forget.

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007Goal Scoring Superstitions
Wednesday, April 26th, 2006This is the most reliable superstition we’ve developed. It has to do with hubby. It is well researched and very consistent. Whenever he leaves the room, if a hockey game is on TV, someone will score a goal. I swear it is true!!! And I don’t mean because he left the room for 30 minutes. I mean when he leaves the room for 3 minutes. We use this during the playoffs. If the team we are rooting for is in their attacking zone…he leaves the room. Sadly, this year we are rooting for opposing teams.
Hicks in Trucks
Saturday, April 22nd, 2006Why is it, no matter where I go (city or country, north or south, American or International, hill or dale), there is some hick in a pick-up truck who will cat-call at me when I’m walking down the street?

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006Excerpt from the book: Take a Load off Your Heart by Joeseph C. Piscatella and Barry A. Franklin Ph.D.: “We’ve known that negative emotions, particularly depression, significantly increase the risk of developing heart disease while lowering long-term survival of cardiac patients. But new studies suggest that pessimistic people, “negative thinkers” who worry over trivial, everyday events, are four times more likely to have a heart attack than more positive thinkers. In addition, people who become easily worried over small problems and who continually bottle up their distress are far more likely to die during a heart attack than people who handle stress more easily and express their emotions openly.”
I am certainly more inclined to remember the negative things people say about me, (oh, for intance, when they fire me), than the positive things they say. Therefore, this thread has been created to document the positive things I hear about myself so that I can remember them and refer to them when I’m dwelling on the negative. This, should be very good for my heart, both literally and figuratively.
If you don’t have a blog of your own, feel free to document the positive things you hear about yourself here too. NO NEGATIVITY ALLOWED. It may be as good for your heart as a bowl of oatmeal, a fish oil pill, or 10 push-ups.
The Chiefs
Saturday, April 22nd, 2006This morning Hubby and I watched an entertaining documentary called The Chiefs. While watching we realized, the only thing more exciting than a goalie fight, is a back-up goalie fight!!
