Irish Dreamer - Been There, Done That

An amazing thing happened this week.... I can see again!
On Monday and Thursday I had cataracs removed and now everything is brilliant and glorius to me. A year ago I was told I have Macular Degeneration so I assumed my deteriorating sight was caused by that, but last week I was told I had cataracs....now they're gone. LOL For months I couldn't distinguish colors and everything was blurry, even large print books. OH...the miracles of medicine!
In 6 minutes my eyes were as good as they were in my youth...maybe better.
No more glasses after 45 years of wearing them and hating them.
God bless Dr. Lisa Cibik and her staff.
If only my brain could've been renewed too:D

I received this in an e-mail from my daughter Jen and really liked it.
I've tried to live doing most of these but never wrote them down....
I hope you enjoy them too

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

TWO... Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older,
their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

FOUR... When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.

FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.

SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.

EIGHT.. Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
People who don't have dreams don't have much.

NINE. Love deeply and passionately.
You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling...

ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.

TWELVE... Talk slowly but think quickly.

THIRTEEN! . When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer,
smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'

FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk..

FIFTEEN. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze .

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson..

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self;
Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake,
take immediate steps to correct it.

TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

TWENTY- ONE. Spend some time alone

All the media attention for Michael Jackson baffles me. The same people that called him a freak and a psycho are now praising him to no end. What has he done in the last 10 years besides being accused of horrible things against children?
If this is the worlds idol, well, no wonder the kids have no goals and act lost.
Just like Elvis, Anna Nichole Smith and even Heath Ledger...he abused drugs, even if it was only prescription drugs. It's sad for anyone to die young but some celeberties and even every day people seem to push the limits and expect not to pay the final price.... It's just my opinion....

Has anyone else noticed that KLONDIKES are only half their size lately?
They are very slim now. I can't eat ice cream but once in awhile i sneak in a klondike
They've gone the way of candy bars... half the size and twice the money.

It's been awhile since i've been here and i'm sorry i've neglected reading my friends' blogs.
Must be getting old.... can't seem to find anything to say lately but being Irish,
I'm sure that won't last long Out of sight does not mean out of thoughts tho...
I miss you and think of you and will be back soon!!
