ludens

Sick times have fallen upon the Springer household. It his Ella Monday night when what we think was an eye infection. Tuesday morn her eyes looked worse. I ended up staying home from work for her. It seemed like she only got worse as the night went on. Dawn may have caughten some of the bug too. She stayed home with beaner today and she didn

We are pretty jazzed about John and Cindy visiting the cities this weekend. Granted their main purposes of coming to MSP is for the United Hardware hardware show in Minneapolis. Before they arrive we going to a dinner party at our neighbors house. And, if we can squeeze it in, the annual holiday Springer/Bye Bowling Extravaganza is on Sunday night...we shall she.

Before publishing this post, I had written a pretty extensive post about loved ones that had past on. My post wasn't to make everyone tear up. The sole purpose was to state my dislike in on-going arguments amongst families. Most of the time the arguments stem from disagreements or divorces, but I know they do more permanent damage than anyone had originally initially intended. Moreover, sometimes they drag on until they can't be resolved because someone passes on. My point: resolve differences if at all possible, so that ancient stories and photos aren't they only thing you can rely on when remembering friends and family

memory: Back when pain reliever and cough drops could be brought to school with a simple note from a parent, I was a frequent pill popper. More often than not the doc prescribed Ludens, cause they always seem to cure the common cold. Unfortunately, it usually took a whole box throughout the course of a day to hold off the coughs, but it was worth it. It just required Joni to visit our local Walgreens at The Hub in Richfield more often than not.

Call it lame, but I saw this poster at Jimmy John's and I agreed with what it had to say. Its not deep, its truth to the core.

I believe that...

• just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.


• maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.


• it isn't always enough to be forgiven by other. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.


• no matter how bad your heart is broken that the world doesn't stop for your grief.


• our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.


• just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.


• you shouldn't be eager to find out a secret.It could change your life forever.


• it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.


• you should always leave loved ones with loving well wishes. It may be the last time you see them.


• you can keep going long after you can't.


• we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.


• we don't have to change friends, if we understand that friends change.


• no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you once in a while and you must forgive them for that.


• true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.


• you either control your attitude or it controls you.


• regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, that passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.


• heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.


• money is a lousy way of keeping score.


• my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.


• sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones who help you get back up.


• two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.


• your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.


• even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.


• credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.


• the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
