Have you ever seen a Miracle?

by Sue Saladino

Have you ever seen a miracle, Beheld one with your eyes?

Seen the magic & the mystery, The wonder & suprise?

Have you ever touched a miracle, With your fingertips?

Have you ever kissed a miracle, Brushed one with your lips?
Have you ever held a miracle, Gently in your arms?

Knowing that you must protect, This precious gift from harm?

Have you ever loved a miracle, Loved right from the start,

Loved with all your being, Loved with all your heart?

I have done all these things, I do them everyday,

I see miracles grow & learn, I see them laugh & play.

I'm an ordinary person, Not special at all, you see.

God gave me not one miracle, He saw fit to give me three.

This post is dedicated to the greatest parents M and J, their three little ones T, T, and W, and three of the bravest, most courageous women I have ever heard of M, L, and R! Thank you for sharing your hearts with our family, your sacrifice has changed our lives!

My sister introduced me to this photographer/videographer. He is amazing. I am really not sure of his pricing, but to get a product like this, anything might just be worth it. I love this Video. If you would like to see more of his work please visit this SITE.

Softball season has officially begun!

I am so excited that the time has come. I played last season with my office and had more fun than I knew I could have. I love this sport I only wish I would have figured out this love a little earlier. It's a lot of fun to dress down and go play a good game of softball with your team. We started the season out a little rough but we are hoping for the best. We will be happy if make it to the tournament. "Let's play ball"

It's that time of year again...

Annie Leibovitz is a Genius! I love this issue of Vanity Fair!

That day again...

These are two of the most important women in my life! The one on the left is one of my Best Friends and the one on the right is my little sis. I love them and I love that they have the same day of birth. And it's so funny that they love each other so much. Happy birthday to the birthday sisters!

Generational Nitwits

I am in dyer necessity of simple and practical clarification. We are all aware that I am in banking? Correct? Good now that that's settled. Please tell me what is so absolutely painful and earth shattering about filling out one's deposit slip? As a banking rep. I hate filling out customer deposit slips. For a myriad of reasons. I hate it because I am usually trying to do ten other things for the same customer at the same time. I hate it because it isn't my job and the number one reason I hate it is that the customers won't help themselves, they would not think twice if I did it for them, but yet would not think twice about pinning me and trying to get me fired if I filled it out incorrectly. (Dramatic I know, but it has happened) The customer is either too lazy or incompetent (jury is still out on this one) to fill out there own deposit slips, they are incapable of reading the directions on the slip itself. And then when I offer to explain how to do it they huff and puff and blow the bank down. What is the deal? Let's talk about what's on a Deposit Slip...hmmm let's see well, there's your name, your address, the date of your deposit, your amount of what you are depositing, a spot for your signature, oh and your acct. number. Do you see the pattern here, YOUR, YOUR, YOUR, YOUR. Everything that the bank is looking for on that slip, you should know. Why would you expect a bank rep. to fill that out when she sees 100 other people just like you everyday. I have great parents and when I started to make my own money my dad took me to the bank, opened an account and then he taught me proper bank etiquette. He taught me to keep a register, to memorize my acct. number, and to always make sure my slip was filled out before I entered the presence of a teller. Are we not teaching this to our children? Is it the bank's fault that they are enabling a group of relatively competent and normal functioning human beings by filling out everything for them reducing them down to generational nitwits? I am truly confused by this quandary! Not meant to offend only to vent.

Carrie's my girl...

I absolutely love this song and can't believe that it has been a year since I saw her in concert with my little sis. I love this video it's awesome. Happy blogging!
