Thurs. May 6 - Saturday May 8th 2010 / Saturday Morning Cartoons


Today is one of those days when you wake up feeling like...
It was only yesterday when I couldn't wait to quietly jump out of bed, pour a bowl of cereal and watch Saturday Morning Cartoons...
But the years have passed overnight...
I am 40 now, and cartoons are available "on demand" every day.
I think that children have both lost and found something in these modern days.
Lost the anticipation of "Saturday Morning Cartoons" or "Sunday evening's, Wild Animal Kingdom, and the Disney Special"...
Found an expectation for immediate response.
-Instant 24/7 communication ability via Internet (IM, email, facebook, myspace, blogging, etc.), cell phone (calls, text etc.)
-Unlimited Video Program Access: DVDs, TIVO, YouTube, 500 TV Channels 24/7, etc.....
Disney's "Vault" Program is a marketing ploy, I am sure.
However... as frustrated with it as I am, I must admit.... it is nice to feel that nostalgic anticipation for something special that we have to wait for:-)
Beauty and the Beast will be re-released this year!!!!

    Amen Daughter! You said it right! I also believe that all of us have been trained to expect all our wants to be supplied IMMEDIATELY on demand in this "information age". I also believe that this "training" has made far too many Americans feel "entitled" to have things that they do not earn simply because they exist. This is a necrosis that is eating away at our great country and the only cure for this disease is to put God back on the throne as our founders did. I know that I have switched tracks from your original "train of thought", but I believe this problem is critical for all of us. I pray that God will bless America again.

    Thanks for your post Mom:-)
    I believe what you say is true.
    I try to create a mental and physical refuge of serenity wherever I can.
    God stays with me, in my heart and mind...
    This modern world is relentless in it's fast paced environment. I am always nostalgic in yearning for the slower pace of yesteryear.

Emotional Catharsis

Life Unscripted As previously mentioned we recently spent a few weeks in my hometown area related to my oldest daughter's wedding. The wedding day came and went without issue. My baby girl was a beautiful bride and is now a happy Mrs.to her Mr.. The second week of our time there was scheduled as "down time"... time to relax and enjoy visiting with friends and family. One day that second week I awoke feeling the need to re-connect with my past; to settle emotional "loose strings"; to change somethings about my life. We had traveled home in my husband's old manual stick shift F150 truck... kayak on top... back packed full of everything but the kitchen sink. I don't drive his truck as well as I should to go out on my own for the day, besides a good insightful partner would probably make my journey a little easier. I called my step-mom and she said she would be right over and take me wherever I needed to go. As I got ready to go my husband and my boys were ...

Long Time No Post

Life has been a whirlwind of activity, work, travel, family events and motion. While I embrace life in forward motion it is a special jewel when a moment of calm presents itself. So many people are caught in a whirlwind of, "life in motion" these days... As I talk with friends and family members my prayer list grows ever longer and my spirit can struggle to "focus on the positive"... In my heart I truly believe that focusing on the positive and working through the challenges is the best way to navigate this life. I have so very much that I am grateful for... so many blessings... God will help manage the rest:-)
