I am the official EMG, aka: Earth Monkey’s Gma. I’ve earned this title more by default than performance.
I am a 55 year old mother of 5 and gramma to 9 and my greatest achievements are my kids. We are a blended family kind of like the Brady Bunch… if you can picture…
Check out my first guest appearance on Earth Monkey Moms…

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.

It’s a Long, Long Way From February
The last post was sometime in February and it’s really, really hard to know how and where to start. It’s drawn out and tiresome to start at the beginning so I won’t. But speaking of beginnings, it does feel like a fresh start in this new location so I’m taking this opportunity for change.
There are 32 days of reading left in my through the Bible in a year semi commitment. I fell behind in April while in Montana but I’ve managed to catch up. It’s a little ironic to be in Daniel now just when God is smacking Nebuchadnezzar with a seven year run of insanity for his self-centered pride. I too became a little full of myself over some praise for ‘I saw a squirrel’. When this adventure originated I said I would do this if NOBODY tuned in. My public declaration was simply to keep me from falling off my Attention Deficit wagon. But a funny thing happened on my way to the blogspot. Some nice comments from readers brought out the rabid dog in me. I began trying to focus on comedy and being entertaining. Slowly, the blog started to feel like a weight and the Bible reading became a chore. My already limited vocabulary dwindled further, family issues intensified, and my spiritual life stagnated. When finally some inspiration began to seep back in, a technical issue prevented my access to blogspot. It was only by a speck of luck or something like it that I was able to post the forwarding address last night.
So for the remainder of this reading, I may or may not blog about it. The whole idea behind the squirrels I see is the randomness. Oh I’ll blog something. Maybe about the real squirrel that tried to scratch my bulldog’s eye out last Wednesday. Or maybe about the science behind why my house smell like this. FYI it is a bad idea to try to sprout garlic cloves and then forget where you put them.
Here’s to change and living life as it comes at us. If anybody is reading this, please feel free to comment. I’ve had my rabies shot and my perspective reset. I was feeling thankful to not be smited with insanity like Nebuchadnezzar for my crime of pridefulness… until I couldn’t find the stinking garlic… please tell me I’m not slipping.
