too much time in quiet and on the road?Kyle should have a blog....road time.

I don't even know where to begin on the day or week or month or "HOLIDAY SPIRIT"
I know that life is too short for people not to stop and think about some things that I am going to list and then elaborate on......................

*what if you lost a child right now to something that you could not control?

*what if you knew you were dying within 24 hours

*have you really taken the time to tell people how you really feel about them or to thank them for what they have done for you rlife

*do you ever take time to do something for someone without them asking

*do we teach our children and family the importance of compassion

*is a small act of kindness really ever go unnoticed

*what do we Thank God for that we do not live true to In case you couldn't tell today I had a lot of alone time and quiet time....lots of pondering. I am not always up as a friend reminded me today but I usually can write in my journal and let things out...I feel that I am pretty stress free. I get sick of hearing how we never take time out of our busy schedules for this or that. Well today I did something that I was asked to but gladly I didd it with the help of others and a mighty stride on the part of some...but I realized that I am grateful that I was asked and I am grateful that I could do it and spend some time alone with children I might not otherwise have the chance to.

I have done a great deal of reading and writing lately due to the fact that I don't want to die and not have left something for everyone that has influenced my life. I know it takes time but we can do tha in small increments...I know there are days that things are not as they should be and I pray that I do not go before I can make some kind of amends. Life doesn't get any easier and we surely need some one to lean on I know we have God but there is no one like family and it is ashame when you feel that they have let you down.

I pray that Maggie will know how important it was for me to share with her what itis to be compassionate and share joy with others who might not otherwise have it. I want her to grow up and make the worl d a better place just by being in it.

The photo is there because my other best friend has fled the state for two weeks....Hawaii. I am happy for her but I worry about her because there are so many things that could go wrong and the flight and the water and the storms.

I also worry about my granddaughters who hav a mother that will not stand up for herself anymore and let's some PUNK walk on her like she is a pile of horse.... I would love to have those girls in a heartbeat but she wouldn't stand for that and I am sure the prize with him would be tremendous.

I can only tell myself to pray and things will get better or to slow down and things will get better but I know that it is up to me to make happiness in my little corner of the world. I am grateful for a good family and I just wish they could find peace with one another and find something good about each other. We all have short comings so they miswell overlook others and worry about improving their own shortcomings before they go judging.

My oldest nephew and boy, it is tought watching him grow up......

Thanksgiving 2006 in Indiana

Today has been very interesting...Thanksgiving was very peaceful and pleasant. I know that my father was down but there really wasn't any reason to be just because of all his children not being there. But everyone has to share their holidays...and that is something that isn't pleasant for my parents....sharing. I will share what I gave to each of my family members about what I am grateful since we have to go around the table and tell that before we start eating...Kathryn didn't appreciate this note I made everyone because I can't talk about things with my family without crying like a baby. I have done alot of reading and thinking about a lot of gospel principles that help us but that maybe we shoud take more time to think about each day. But I can truly say that in the last three weeks I have set back and taken a good look at things concerning those I care about.

Thanksgiving 2006.....Grateful for:
K is for Keen... my awareness of others
E is for Edify...to help others become stronger
L is for Love...that we share in our family
L is for Life...frateful to be on the earth
Y is for YOU...for what I learn from you and what you give to our family

Of course, I couldn't speak of these things because I have thought alot about what I have to be grateful for...

This applies to NO ONE...Just random thoughts....

This is me , Kelly...I bet you just can't imagine what I am thinking. Today had an interesting talk at church and then of course my readings always make me think extra hard...

I have decided that I think alot about others and probably worry too much abou others and not myself...I think that I even leave my immediate family out sometimes of concerns. But I have decided that most people are really self- centered and we don't want to admit that. For me, I feel terrible when I am doing something that someone has asked or that I think would just plain be nice for me to do for someone and then I find I might be grudgingly doing it...or try to put off doing it. I wish that we could all remember our happiest moment and keep our lives to that spot. We live in a world that is changing so fast that there is no way people can be ready for it. I know that I am not. I know that I always wanted to be a " hip mom" and always keep my daughter under thumb and I don't think that will help things the way they are today. Let me share with you some of the things that people have talked to me about in the last two weeks and see what you would be thinking writing on this page. Two of my oldest and dearest clients have had surgery or are facing surgery and want to be kept in prayers but also for me to know that if they don't make it....Tom Leedy will call for me to do their hair for the last time. Then, I had a newer client tell me how beautiful I was and confident and wish that she had some of that because she would never dress like I dress to go to work and she wouldn't tan or wouldn't be selling Mary Kay....because (are you ready for this) I am over weight and she thinks that would be a problem. I guess that at times in my life I can see where it is a problem and that now I shouldn't be thinking I can still make myself thin at anytime because that isn't that easy anymore. I am grateful that God has allowed me to always find good. The problem with that is back to the thinking that I can fix everything...get upset over this wanting to fix things. We all have things that make us.

We all need to really strive to live each day like it was our last. We should not live with regret. I know that in a family we are all entitled to get mad at each other but I would hate for something to happen to my parent or in laws and there be distress. I have silently laugh to myself all week because of things I have thought about my brothers and sister. They all get mad at each other or the spouses' and then spout off and I was wondering what they say is wrong with me. I also wonder what would happen if we were to die today and left things unsaid or unforgiven...if we are unhappy here we are going to be in the next life and only we can make ourselves happy... you know I have learned that not only does marriage take lots of work and that men and women are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO different and that our needs are sOOOOOOOOOOOOOO different but we need to stop and stand back and realize why God has brought all of us together and in the units we are in instead of always looking for something to pick at or something to change about somebody...we are individual with divine personalities. No one is ever going to nake us feel great about ourselves but ourself...life takes a lot of work and the thing is if we can HONESTLY say we don't like or love someone then we better stop and look at ourselves because we have lost ourselves somewhere along the way.

How can we live with so much turmoil?

I had a minute to think at work today...I cannot believe that some people just don't get life. What is so hard about living and keeping your nose out of other people's business...Someone had something to say to me about Utah Mormons and I thought I would unload...they are people. What the hell are people stupid? Yesterday, all of my older clietele wanted to talk about their plans on dying and I really didn't want to hear that and then today I deal with IDOITS...i don't think that I use the correct spelling. Then I have a realy problem that my step daughter thinks we are FIRST NATIONAL...she needs to be put away somewhereso that she really understands what life is all about. Thank God, Danny finally said something but of course we are probably being punished because we will not be allowed to see Aleesha.
I wish that people just would leave well enough alone and understand that life is tooooooo short..........
I need to stay within my own world...people don't really exsist unless they are kind.

My Grandmother Jenny has been here for about three weeks and these are some photos with her. Marty Kintner is just trying to think of how he got into this and then look at those grandchildren...who's HAPPY???
Hannah Wright will kill if she sees this picture from their New LEVEL girls concert...she said that they looked trashy because of stage make -up...

I don't know who is more surprised or just happy to see the camera?
Thaddaeus likes the camera and so does Cameron.
Which brother is reciding?
What do we recall as disgruntle?
Grace, Hannah and Grandmaw Kintner

Barb Kintner rented a room in the motel from their home for this event. You will see the whole gang in many different shots.

It is not a new girl on the block or new cousin or girlfriend...Madison Wright sure is cute.

All I want is chocolate

Woke up late...7:09 am was suppose to be up at 6:30 am so the girls (Hannah and Maggie) could straigthen their hair...then leave to pick Madison Wright up at 7:20 am didin't work...so when I woke up with a pounding headache and wanted to lay in bed I went to do something nice for others (I guess it is called compassionate service) and that back fired on me because I feel at the one home, yes to the ground. Scraped off all my toenail polish...I am sure that foot is broken. hahaha Then my other service made me dirty but I feel good in having it done. I have been so forgetful lately that you ought to see the post notes and messages I have for myself. When life becomes that demanding we neeed to take a break.
I really need to be watching what I eat and also helping my daughter. I am also trying to lighten my schedule so that we have time to work out. Kary and Zachary have said they would help me with Maggie. I just want for her to stay sweet and like herself. I guess my hardest thing is that I truly don't feel that I have worried that much about what people would say about me...I know I have the problem that I want to make too oooooo many people happy and that is not possible. I just thought I should correct that in case any of you thought I was being hypocritcal.
I am getting ready to go to violin lessons. I must say that it is one of the hardest things I have ever done and that I feel STUPID, shame on me. I am really finding that I should have kept my mouth shut with Maggie because it is a lot harder than the piano or old age has made it harder.
Tonight is Hannah's first concert of the year...I cant wait. I was asked to help with the makeup and things so I am excited. I don't know that that excites Hannah but I like doing it and being of service.
Well I must get ready I will post some photos from Halloween and Kyle's 30th Birthday in July that I forgot to post.

Today has been very interesting...I am really not sure what to think about a lot of things. People are so funny and I mean that in a wierd way....I don't know what they think and it shocks me at some of their reactions to many things. People must hold a lot of things inside and that is not always a good thing. I don't know that I am a good one to say this but people need to stop and think before speaking sometimes and then there are some of us who until we can put ourselves in someone else's shoes should not even begin to give advice or voice opinions.
Right now I am really hurting because of my family not getting along. I wish that as an extended family we could have all just read the two books I finished because it has really made me stop to think about a lot of things...if we only would realize how short our time on earth is would we really be taking our time to get some things in order or to maybe make better decisions. Some people also don't realize how enabling some people to do certain things doesn't allow them to grow as individuals and also that being care givers we shoudl help people to make good decisions but they still have to act on their free agency...even when it hurts. I am truly amazed at how different my brothers and sister are from me...I don't think I am perfect but I am actually embarrassed sometimes by the way they act or the decisions that they make...but we are all learning. I guess that we never really stop being children. My Father hit it on the head this morning when bearing his testimony about how nice it was having his mother with them for the last three weeks and the time that they have spent together...I really want to make sure I can say I have died without regret but looking over and reading and just living everyday life I am not so sure that is possible. I don't mean to keep repeating or to be judgemental and that is something that I didn't realize people do so nonchanllllllatly...I didn't spell that correctly. I noticed today at church that we are interesting in the fact that we judge each other no matter how hard we try adn I don't think that anyone is exempt from that.
We just need to slow our live's down very much. Things would really change if we took the time...
