Good Morning and Happy Saturday,

Yesterday was an excellent day for me...I got a lot done around the house and no real pain until about 5PM....it was great.

Today I hope you all have an excellent day

I got this from my friend, and decided to pass it on.


1.) When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

2.) If you were granted one wish, what would it be?

My answers:
1.) I wanted to be a Missionary, when I was really little....then I wanted to be a teacher.....I eventually did become a teacher.

2.) I would wish to go back in time, know what I know now, and do some things differently.

How about you?

=============================
According to "First" Magazine:
Set the stage for sleep with pink. The color Pink's electromagnetic frequency prompts the brain's pineal gland to release serotonin, a neurotransmitter that eases the body into sleep. Serotonin also enhances mood, so you'll awaken refreshed..................(it's worth a try, so you know, I am putting Pink candles in my room tonight)

" Intriging post as usual D.

When I was very young I wanted to work with "Challenged Children".

If I had one wish, it would be that my son does not inherit my health problems, especially FM & CFS.

Have a great day everyone!.........Debbie "

" Good morning, D and all....

I wanted to be a Forest Ranger.

My one wish would be that FMS didn't exist!!

Have you noticed that a lot of "SALE" signs are in hot pink?? It always makes people want to buy things. Believe me when I say it works. I did my own experimentation on that one.

The kids and I are going to start the Halloween decorating on the house today. I got my bathroom done yesterday. It looks good, if I do say so myself. Done up like an Apothecary Shop complete with misting skull. LOL

Ya'll MAKE it a good weekend and enjoy every minute! gentle hugs.... "

" Morning Everyone,

1.) When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a Truck Driver or a Nun. I ended up doing Accounting and Budgets. Hmmm where did I go wrong.

2.) If you were granted one wish, what would it be? I wish I had never started smoking. I think this had an impact on every area of my life.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. "

" Good morning D andf everyone. I wanted to be a missionary farmer and nurse. Ended up being a nurse!As for the past I wouldn't go there with a ten foot pole not even to change anything. LOL. There was a study done on psyc wards including where I worked. This was done in the seclusion wards when someone was acting out or very sick. Blue turned out to be calming. Pink caused agitation and anger! "

" Good morning D and everyone!Glad you got to get things done at home! It feels good to be able to catch up on stuff.
1) I wanted to be a famous singer,song writer.I use to play my guitar for hours and write music.
2)I don't care if I'm rich,I'd just like to be able to not have to worry about money and wish I could afford to do more for my son.
As far as the pink thing,pink has been incorperated in my decor for about 5 yrs now.I recovered my love seat cusions and made matching valences and all my ceramic plant pots match.Blue,teal,white and pink.Its all in the front porch where the sun shines in and its very relaxing and brightens my mood!I love the bright colors!

" Hi D and all!
I wanted to be an Egyptologist when I was little! Actually, I still do but with this darn fibro I don't think that will be happening. Sooo, I do my own studying and research online and with books. Maybe someday I'll get to visit Egypt at least!

Only 1 wish???!!!! HHMM...I would wish all our health problems away. "
