Something about Nothing

Well what is New

2007-03-18T20:08:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since i last wrote... At the same time that a lot has happened since the last time i wrote.... Nothing at all has happened in my life........
The things that have happened... is that The Main company in town IOC has gone on strike and the town is now after the first week, started to slow down. Unfortunately in our town we are really a one business town... and when that business goes on strike the town really shuts down... there is a lot of ppl out of work due to the strike which is said... but we need to support the workers at the same time. My only problem is when you get the Idiots who kick up a fuss for no reason.... because the staff employees still have to go in. It's funny how they think that the man that have no other choice but to go in, have put them on the picket line.... which is not true at all.. now i can see maybe being upset with the staff that were actually on the negotiation team. But it's crazy when i see the other side and see how ppl act during these situations. Tensions are rolling hi and ppl say things that are really uncalled for... on both sides......... but i sometimes wonder if ppl remember that when this is all over... they all have to work together again. Really is it worth saying things in the heat of the moment.... it's something to think about.
Anyway other then the strike not much has changed.... I am one of the Lucky ones who is still working at this point. Now it all depends on the length of the strike how long i will still be working but they way i look at it.... We will see when that time comes.... I always look at life as it can ALWAYS be Worse. I could be living in a third world country without a job in the first place... i could have nothing to eat.... i could be sick........ but i am not.. So as i see it i am one of the blessed ones. So as much as things may look bleak.......... they really aren't as bad as they may seem. Plus the thing is God is always with me and he will help me through anything......... Just like he will help All those who are having a hard time during these days....... we just need to trust that he knows what he is doing, and i do...........
I hope everyone has a great rest of the month and just trust In God and his Plan for OUR future.... LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLLL.

Why We Look Forward To Weekends

2007-02-18T20:28:00.000-08:00

As the weekend comes to a close, I have to wonder... Why do we look forward to the weekend.... Besides the usual things like... not having to get up in the morning.... not having to prepare a lunch, not having to get dressed until you wants too..... well they are all obvious reasons and really go without saying..... But i have realized that we look forward to the weekends because we don't have to Work..... plan and simple... we don't have to sit behind a desk ( or whatever your job requires you to do) for 8 to 12 hours a day and put up with the things that our jobs require us to put up with. What ever that might be, Which in any job could be a number of things.
But now for the next thing i was pondering............ If you look forward to the weekends so much so that, that's what u think about and wish for all week long, Should you then think about finding another job? Is the reason that you wish for the weekend because you hate your job so much that u can't wait to have a day off......... or is it because you just enjoy weekend.... or maybe even because you enjoy your job but just needs a break to clear your head after busy week, which is just normal.
I guess we just need to take the time to evaluate Our jobs and Ourselves........ Then decide our reason for wishing for the weekend. If it's because you hate your job...... then maybe it is time to move on..... there is no reason to stay somewhere u are not happy..... there is more to Life.
If it is just because you like weekends well then....... enjoy your weekend but don't just give up on the weekdays.
If it's because you are so busy at work u just look forward to a day off then........ I guess you should stay right where you are.......... unless it is taking a tole on you and you have done what you can and need to move on. I'm guessing this one is the hardest one to make a choice on. No one wants to leave somewhere they enjoy working...... cuz those kinds of jobs are hard to find... But sometimes you just need to move on for yourself and to keep your sanity...
Whatever your reason for Looking forward to the weekend is make sure when it does come that you enjoy every last minute of it and leave Work behind. Anyway got to go to bed and get some sleep because i have to get up for work in the morning.

Such Is Life

2007-02-14T20:09:00.000-08:00

I haven't wrote in a little while now and don't really know what to say. Life has been good minus a little battle with strep throat. Good thing I was feeling my better for Valentines day.
Hey there is something to talk about......... Valentines day............ What is Valentines day really... Some say it is a day made up for the greeting card industry, Some say it's a day to show your loved one how much you love them......... Me i see it as a day to tell my man that i love him all day long and get away with it being annoying...lol......... So what if is a day a greeting card day..... So what if it is so over rated to some...... Why not take today and just enjoy spending time with the person that you Love...... Show them just how much you appreciate them....... Do something that would surprise them, something that you would never normally do.... but that a day like this would allow you to step out of you zone and do it. And if you don't have that person yet then let you best friend, parent, sister and/or brother just how much you are about them. Let today be a day for you and make it what you want..... just don't let a day pass to show someone u love them.... Love you all.

Wouldn't it be great?

2007-02-01T20:56:00.000-08:00

I was just thinking, wouldn't this being the first of Feb. be a great time to turn over a new leaf? Wouldn't it be a good time to make things different and the way that you want them to be. Wouldn't it be great to start over and let the past be the past and today be the future? Wouldn't it be great?
I have been talking with a few ppl this past week and our conversation always seems to go... " If i only knew then what i know now......" We always finish that statement off by saying we would have done things differently..... but would we really have..... Would have things turned out any better or would we be worse off? I think myself, that looking back i wouldn't change a things...... sure i have made my mistakes which i would like to erase and I've made a fool out of myself in front of someone i likes and even said something that i shouldn't have which hurt someone Else's feelings. But after saying all that... i would have never learned if i hadn't done any of that.... i would go through life thinking everything was perfect, But guess what... IT'S NOT.... which comes to no surprise for any of us.
So now i come back to the question of wouldn't it be great?.... Yes it would be great to change and learn from the past.... But i don't think it would be great to start over because what would we learn then...... we'd probably just learn that in a years time we would just want to start over again anyway. So i say live life like it's your last day.... Love like it will is all you ever wanted and be the person God planned for you to be. He does have a plan for us and we just need to listen to what it is.... Cuz he doesn't want us to start over... we can't help others get through the hard times if we forget how we got through them.....
As i head to bed now I say a prayer for everyone.... I pray that God will Open our eyes and let us see the things we have been missing.... Open our ears to hear the words he has been speaking to our hearts and to Open our lives to Him and the people he is going to place into it.
Take a moment to stop and think of what you want your Feb. to be and Wouldn't it be great to Be the people we were always meant to be.

As January comes to an end

2007-01-30T14:41:00.000-08:00

I can hardly believe that this month has already come to an end. It's seems crazy really how fast the years seem to be going by. It seems only like yesterday that I meet adam, and now it's almost been 5 years............. it only seems like yesterday that i was standing at Mike and Julias wedding, and now they are pastoring in BC and i haven't seen them in like 2 years. Now another Friend is getting married in just a few month time.... It's crazy......... High school has come and long gone away and we are all growing up and moving onto new things and new part of our life.
I just wonder when things are going to slow down a little. There doesn't seen to be much time before God comes back to take us home, and with the time flying as it is... that only gives us a short period of time to tell other about His Love, and want for us to follow him. I guess we just sometimes need to remember that what is past is past and as we look back at what we call the Good ol' days... we also need to look forward and see how much better things can be. Anyway that is just a thought for today....
Hey Mike and Julia, for you i will keep writing for another little while.... Guess we will see what happens.
P.S for this month of February that is just a knocking on our door...we need to take time to seat back and just listen to what God is saying... it may change your tomorrow into something that you never though could happen today.

Soon giving this up.

2007-01-15T18:39:00.000-08:00

Well i think it is soon time for me to give this blog up........... no one but julia ever commets so it it not worth the time to come back and check it out. I guess i will keep an eye out for the next little while and if still nothing this will have too be another scatched item on my list.

2007-01-04T20:51:00.000-08:00

This is just a short post to remind everyone that it is friday and that means the weekend. It also means the last of christmas and now everything starts to get taken down and put away. Sad story really...... i love all the lights and decorations it make things feel so warm and put a smile on your face. Also i just wanted to tell how crazy the weather is here....... i got up for work this morning and it was -3 degress celcius out.... that's crazy for a winter morning in general and it only kept getting warmer.... i think it may have actually hit +1 at some point, and when i got home tonight at around 11:00pm it was 0.8 degrees out... now seriously we are talking the 4th or January here........ the middle of winter..........in Lab City..... And it's almost (well did a bit) raining. That's PATARDED.......... normal weather for here i would venture to say would be -30 or so if not colder.... i really don't know what we are in for this year but i can say i am loving this weather for now, not having to wear 3 layers of clothes just to go to my car (which has already been warming up for 15 minutes). Anyway time for me to head out....and get some sleep.
Also just a Last Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to y'all..... loves ya

Been a While, New in 2007

2007-01-03T19:58:00.000-08:00

Well it's definitely been a while now since i last wrote. Had a little trouble last time so i got a little frustrated if you could believe that.
Anyway, Christmas is now coming to and end and we have entered into a new year, 2007 the be exact. It seems crazy that last year has gone so fast, it only seems like yesterday that everyone was home from last year and now they were home again and all heading back this week... that's if they haven't already left yet.
Christmas was good as always. Lots of Family and Friends to spend it with. And just giving and seeing the smiles on ppls faces, that's what Christmas is all about giving to others and celebrating the birth of Jesus.
Lots of things happened this Christmas.... first off we were heading to church Christmas eve night and as soon as me and the Roberts family stepped into the parking lot, the lights all over town went out. The town was black for at least 45 minutes before the first set of lights started coming on, the power went at 6:30 or so i would say and the last houses got there lights back around 9:00... So let just say church was cut short, which was quite disappointing but not much you can do. Also my Best friend Amanda Mouland got Engaged on Christmas eve night.... She was very happy and so was i. She seems to have a great man who loves her very much, I can't wait to meet him and be at there wedding. Other then that things have pretty much been the same. Now all i am doing is trying to catch up on my sleep and get back into some normal patterns again.
Oh yeah one more thing i just bought an elliptical machine, so hopefully in the new year i will be able to slim down for the summer so that i can break out my bikini....lol... that would be a funny site.
Anyway i am out for the night. Have a good one.
Dana

2006-12-02T20:25:00.000-08:00

Guess i will write again some other time.

To lazy now.

Not Much To Say

2006-11-08T18:15:00.000-08:00

I don't really have much to say here right now, not much new has happened in the past few... Adam now has his new kitchen done, well for the most part, just got to install the dishwasher and paint the rest of the dining room then do the molding and the hard word... then done... until the spring i guess...... It looks beautiful. other then that everything is as per usual.... reading a new book right now called Stolen Lives, it's about Malika Oufkir and her family and how they were inprisoned for 20 years because of crimes her father had committed. It's really good... The first chapter was a little confussing but then getting into the second chapter it got more interesting, i think i am in the third or forth chapter now, and they were just being held in a small village, which she says was the easy part of the inprisonment and what prepared them for the next 20 years. I will let you know more as it gets further. Anyway time to go, got to wash one of the christmas gifts i have made. Later all.

I Hate SNOW

2006-10-29T07:51:00.002-08:00

Just as a side note, i have decided that i hate snow.... well i really don't hate snow i just hate snow and cold. You got to love going to bed at night when it's just cold but u can still see grass and pavement, and then waking up and there being nothing but a thick cover of white over everything, 15cm of snow suppose to fall today it makes me sick. Then it's suppose to snow for the rest of the week. So the question i am asking, have i told anyone that I Hate SNOW?

On another not, my dad broke his wrist a few days back and ended up having to get surgery on it to have pins put in, not good at all. The good thing is though that i was talking to him today and he is feeling a whole lot better compared to the past few days. And he will be getting home in a couple days.

Anyway i should go now and have a serious chat with the Man Up Stairs about this whole snow situation, and see if He can't help me out here.

Have a great one Ya'll.

Why Does Weight Matter?

2006-10-23T19:03:00.000-07:00

I was just wondering why does weight always have to be such a big part of our daily lives. Why do we always want to look like the supper models? Why do we always want to be stick thin. Why do we struggle daily with how we look? That is a question i've always had. And i guess no matter how many time we ask that question or even how we ask it........we will never get the answer. It's just to bad we couldn't be content with our bodies and the Way God has made us all individual and beautiful in His eye's. Oh my i just pray that someday I will maybe understand just a little bit more then i do now. Anyway time to go.......just blabbing.

Don't have much to say

2006-10-21T21:02:00.000-07:00

I don't really have much to say actually, but figured i would write something anyway. Never really did anything this weekend, was suppose to have a girls night but it ended up getting cancelled. So i just loafed home with my dad. The only good thing about tonight was an old friend of mine decided to call and see if he could get hold of me at the old number he had and well he did. We had a grad chat about old time and about new times, where we are in life and where we are going. I had known that he had gotten married but hadn't talk to him since like 5 years ago just after he had gotten engaged. So it was really good to have a chat, we had some fun times as a crew of ppl in st.john's back like 6 years ago. It's always good connecting with the past every once in a while as long as it is a good piece of the past and not something that could hurt the future. Anyway should go get some shut eye. And wait till the morning so that i can go see my man, never got to see him much today, due to other commitment and then when my plans went Ary tonight he had already had plans made, but such is life. Have fun Be good and Enjoy.

What A LIFE

2006-10-16T19:44:00.000-07:00

This has been a great day compared to two days ago.

We went to a friends surprise party on sunday and what a laugh we had. Her daughter through her the birthday and was she ever surprised. People who truely appreciate things like that makes it even more worth while. Then I went to church, what a good service about how God was born into honor and took the side of the cast away and made them into the ppl of honor. Pretty much turning the tables of the honored and the cast aways to the cast aways being honored and the honored to castways to think of where they actually stood in there beliefs. But it was done as a skit. And right at the end Our pastor went into the congragasion and spoke to a young man who was sitting up front, what they had done is dressed up one of the church members into a get up so u couldn't see who he was, and that he just looked like a person who didn't have much and had him walk around the church parking lot. Then asked him at the end what had happened, he said ppl ignored him and some stared, but some actually stopped to talk to him and invite him into the service. She told us after words who the person was and was actually a good friend of mine. The message hit home. It actually hit more with me because the book that i am reading right now (Under the Overpass) is that same message, how the homeless on the streets are ignored but a lot of christians when God tells us to reach out. reach out to those who are hungry and feed them, who are naked and clothes them....... Something that we need to remember. Here we don't have homeless but we do have ppl in need and we need to help more as Children of God. Which myself i have to work on, Something God is working in my life to do. Anyway should go and read some more of the book, i am almost finished.

Also the pic on top is of me and my Man, just figured i'd put a pic on to show him off. Got to show of the Man you love when you can.

Lates all and leave a message so i can write something back. make this a little more intesting.

What a Weekend

2006-10-14T20:36:00.000-07:00

Well it is saturday and the weekend hasn't been to bad i guess.... wish it was better but you take what you can get. I just wish things could go better. I guess i just don't understand why things happen sometimes. Maybe i am just over stressing but sometimes i wonder why i do the things i do. This is all i am saying for tonight, cuz i am not about letting all my problems out in a blog that is just stupid..... just figured i'd write cuz i hadn't in a couple of days anyway i am out and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Peace out.

Hump day!!!

2006-10-11T19:52:00.000-07:00

Well it was hump day today (wednesday) and it is now over, and thank goodness for that cuz it was a crazy day. Work was really busy, but it was a laugh. I only hope tomorrow is a little less busy but just as much as a laugh. So i have started to read the book Under The Overpass, so far it is really good.... I can't wait to actually get some time to really get into it. Can you imagine stopping your life and going to live on the street like the homeless with only what you have on your body, and live that life for 5 month, to see how ppl treat the homeless excpecially the church and also to see if your faith was strong enough to trust in God 100%. I think we should all take a read of this book, we all can't live on the streets but we should all know that we can trust in God 100%, and also remember that no matter where we live that we are all Gods children and we deserve to be treated the as human and the way God wants us to be treated. To treat other the way we would ourselves like to be treated. Anyway time to go and watch America's Next Top Model, i wonder who will be gone tonight.... ahhhhhhhhh i love this show.

Home again Home Again

2006-10-09T12:27:00.001-07:00

Got home a couple hours ago from what was definitly a great weekend. And what a nap i had when i finally got home. The weekend turned out to be really great. The bands were really good, the NEWSBOYS rocked and the sang Breakfast for us..... i was excited. Starfield was great and we actually got to meet them in the airport this morning. Also the Desperation band rocked and so did tree 63. The speakers were really good, Roosevelt and Bob (can't remember the last names) were really good and funny. But my favorite was Mike Yankoski, what a man.... He spent 5 months on the streets with his friend, living how the homeless live and see how ppl treat them and how the church treat the homeless, very eye opening.. He wrote a book about it Called Under the Overpass...... i have the book and i'd say it will be great i will let you know how it is when i gets it read. Anyway time to go and get ready for some turkey supper. HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL. Leave a comment PLEASE.

2006-10-05T14:15:00.000-07:00

Another day Another $. Thank goodness for long weekends. Speaking of long weekends what a perfect time to have one. I'm actually heading to Corner Brooke for the weekend with the youth group here, for YC, a huge youth convention they have in newfoundland every year. This will be my first time going in the past 3 years and probably my last. But it should be good, well how can it not be good when you get together with over 2000 youth from newfoundland and labrador and Worship GOD and spend time with ppl who believe as you do. What better to do to practice how it will be in heaven. Anyway i should head out and see Adam for a bit before i has to pack my suitcase. Plus i won't see him for almost 4 days..... and believe me you i'm not a fan of being away. Hope everyone has a great Long weekend, Leave a post sometime, keep me company so i can keep this going.... Loves ya ALL.
