There was a time in my life, even in my adult life that I could not stand&lt;strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;pennies! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Not because I thought that I was to good for them, because I was not. But for some strange reason I just could not stand &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Let alone to keep them. Every &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;penny&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that came my way, in the trash it would go! I have thrown dozen upon dozen of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;away. As I grew older and wiser I learned that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;are worthy to be kept, saved, and spent. I have learned to appreciate&lt;strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, I now love &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have been apart of my life now for keeps, and I will never throw away another &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;penny&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;as long as I live. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pennies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have came in handy when I did not have cash or other coins. Or even had cash and other coins, but needed &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; as backup. I am glad that the madness I once showed toward &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  have turned into such great LOVE! I sometimes wonder about the could  have been, but I don’t beat myself up about it, because what was done is  done. And I have learned better! You learn better, you do better! But  my wondering mind of what could have been is the fact that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;that  I threw away, I maybe could have been a weathy woman by now. Not that I  am poor, because I am not, and I love my life. I often think about the  woman who saved a million&lt;strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;a few years  ago and she was considered a millionaire. Not so much that she was  considered a millionaire, because she then became a millionaire after  the calculation of her &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. I do not want to be rich, but the amount of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pennies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; I could have saved sure makes me wonder my total count!

Most of the time big  bucks is hard for you to come by, even if it is twenty dollars. Here is  saving made easy! I use to try so hard to save money, but the end  result would always be I’d spend it each and every time. The more I  saved, the more I needed things. Well in reality I wanted things  although it was more of a need; at the same time I still would dip into  that which I have saved for my wants as well. I had to tell myself in  order to save, I needed to not only put money back, but I needed to also  not touch it. If a lot of you make up in your mind that if there is no  emergency type need, then you have to pretend and convince yourselves  that the money put back is not money that you have. In other words, tell  yourself I have no money. No it is not lying to yourself nor anyone  else for that matter, because realistically you don’t have money, and  the true catch should be “NOT TOO SPEND!” So not having money to spend  is basically “YOU DON’T HAVE MONEY!” Trust me developing that concept  will lead to the road of SAVING AND KEEPING MONEY! &lt;strong&gt;The $5 Dollar Saving Rule&lt;/strong&gt; is helpful and very easy to do. Every time I have a &lt;strong&gt;$5 Dollar Bill&lt;/strong&gt;,  I save it rather it is two, three, or four. Even if I have a twenty  dollar bill, and I had to buy something (Notice I said HAD), because now  I only try to stay within my needs and not my wants. The twenty dollar  bill or whatever the amount of bill that is above a &lt;strong&gt;$5 Dollar Bill&lt;/strong&gt; that I have, after I pay for my item/items; however, my change get broken down to me I always make sure all or any &lt;strong&gt;$5 Dollar Bill&lt;/strong&gt; be put back and saved. Rather it be daily or weekly, it is ALWAYS WHENEVER. &lt;strong&gt;$5 Dollar Bills&lt;/strong&gt; adds up! You will be surprised at how much you can save in such little time if you stick with &lt;strong&gt;The $5 Dollar Saving Rule&lt;/strong&gt;.</description><link>http://varietyunlimited.blogspot.com/2011/06/5-dollar-saving-rule.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Variety Unlimited)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692646596830640243.post-4117292724930386955</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-13T05:33:17.986-05:00</atom:updated><title>Never Say</title><description>&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Never say&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; that you can&#39;t when it comes to your goals.&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt; Never say&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; you never will; only say you never have. I rather say; I never have then to say; I never will. I never have thought in my wildest dreams that I would make it this far. But to say I never will achieve my goals, and all that I can be; is not only an understatement, but it is also unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#39;t accept the things, nor the thoughts of what you feel you cannot be. Only accept what you know you want, and can be.</description><link>http://varietyunlimited.blogspot.com/2011/06/never-say.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Variety Unlimited)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692646596830640243.post-825245788381959888</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-07T04:52:20.863-05:00</atom:updated><title>Wake Up</title><description>&lt;b&gt;Wake up&lt;/b&gt;, because you know who you are, and what you want to be in life. Life is what you make it, not as you take it to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tell yourself that settling is not an option. Look up to &lt;b&gt;rise up above&lt;/b&gt; any and all obstacles. Know that you can, and you will be somebody. Most importantly realize that you are somebody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Always know that there is, and that there can only be one you. Being a positive person; hanging around positive people, will get you positive measures. Good thoughts are positive thoughts. And positive thoughts brings positive action.</description><link>http://varietyunlimited.blogspot.com/2011/06/wake-up.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Variety Unlimited)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692646596830640243.post-3223533052769901215</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2011 11:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-03T06:54:34.340-05:00</atom:updated><title>The Blame Game</title><description>So many people like to place blame on  everybody but themselves! LET  THEM TELL IT, it is everybody else! It is  one thing to make mistakes  and own up to them, then to deceive and try  and fool people. And even  if there is ever a time they own up to their mistakes, there is still  answers they have to give an account for doing much deceiving and  tearing up that which was NOT MADE WITH HANDS! What is so sad is that so  many people always want to  say forgive! Matthew 18:21-22 Then came  Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me,  and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not  unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is  nothing wrong with forgiving, because forgiving is what we must do, but  the sad part is they  think that you don&#39;t forgive nor that your heart  is not right because you believe that there are  consequences, therefore  those people just sit back and LET GO, AND LET  LIVE the way they want  too, and the people they take up for! SINCE THEY CAN SAY ALL THAT BEHIND  ALL THIS! O MY, I pray GOD there is never anything against the law of  the land done, because then that too will go unpunished by those type of  people. And YES I said UNPUNISHED MEANING OVERLOOK, NOT DEAL WITH, ETC.  But with GOD EVERYBODY HAVE TO ANSWER! Although  they don&#39;t want to  deal with the/who REAL ISSUES, they over look them,  but GOD DON&#39;T OVER  LOOK NOTHING! He forgives, but he still have his set  of consequences in  due time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So many people talk about  forgiveness. How do we expect God  to forgive us, if we don&#39;t forgive  others. AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW FOR A  FACT THAT SOMEONE DON&#39;T FORGIVE THEMSELVES FIRST, BEFORE ASSUMING! That  is how most people are so confused even about others because some one  always talking that which is not true! I needed to say that because I  disagree with statements about people having to forgive themselves  before forgiving others, because I know people who have forgiven others  and still is YET TO FORGIVE THEIR OWNSELVES! But I will say this also  just because we forgive  as often and depending on a situation, like  when someone has wronged  you over and over, or is not headed forward  with you the way God wants  us to be, then we all have a charge to leave  those people alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah we  can try and help them, but when even that  don&#39;t work, we need to just  move on and continue to pray for them. A  lot of times people always say  we suppose to forgive and forget, that  is true, but to a point. That  point is when you have forgiven someone  true enough never throw what you  have forgiven them for back up to them  nor anybody, but the forgetting  that you may be holding onto, let that  only be between you and God,  because there is nothing wrong with not  forgetting for the fact it just  help to keep you on your toes, on how  not to let that person take  advantage of you again, nor make you react  in ways that are not pleasing  to God. TIME HEAL ALL WOUNDS! Continue to  trust in God and he is the  only one in due time that can even get us  to the point that we have even  forgotten about that which was forgiven!</description><link>http://varietyunlimited.blogspot.com/2011/06/blame-game.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Variety Unlimited)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692646596830640243.post-5165831506242978681</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jun 2011 17:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-02T12:59:44.179-05:00</atom:updated><title>Karaoke Star</title><description>For karaoke fans who are constantly looking at expanding their karaoke  DVD library there are a wide range of options available for them.

But little do they know, “WE ARE NOT!” We have been there and done that. It seems that when the teacher calls, every single time it is never our kids fault! Leave it up to them it is everyone else fault including teachers, especially the teachers. We found out along time ago to never take our kids side when it comes to a matter of who’s right and who’s wrong. Most of the time, well 99.9% of the time the kids is in the wrong and need to be taken down a notch by letting them know they were wrong, that they are kids not adults, and they are to respect adults. They go to school to learn because education is key! School is not a place for kids nor adults to see who is the biggest or the baddest concerning parent-teacher nor parent-student relationships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always like to here the conclusion of the whole matter. There are two sides to every story rather you are young or old. To many times, so many parents take their kids side no matter what or who it is they are siding against. I believe that no matter who it is; our kids, family or friends, we should never take sides. Right is right, and wrong is wrong! Teachers need our help with our kids, but most importantly our kids need our help. Not taking their side when they are wrong will not kill them, it will just help them as well as make them be a stronger and better person in the long run. Everyone as parents have to watch their actions at all times, especially in front of kids. For every action there is a reaction. When parents act wrong, they pass on to their kids those actions, and they will just repeat those actions with their reactions! Kids learn more from us by our actions, and not what we say. It is all about what we do and how we do that counts for them. I always love to quote “Actions speak louder then words!”</description><link>http://varietyunlimited.blogspot.com/2010/12/who-do-they-think-we-are.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Variety Unlimited)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692646596830640243.post-7096154806153894404</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2010 15:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-30T09:40:58.522-06:00</atom:updated><title>Unhappy People</title><description>We are really living in a world that is so full of&lt;b&gt; &lt;i&gt;unhappy people&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;! Even the young folks are&lt;b&gt; unhappy&lt;/b&gt;, but most of them don&#39;t have a clue why they are &lt;b&gt;unhappy&lt;/b&gt;. To me unhappiness for some young people is a learned behavior. They frown not knowing the meaning of the word frown. They get mad not even knowing what mad is. When I was young and called myself getting mad and frowning, my mom use to tell me that I don&#39;t know what mad is. And to frown that was far from my vocabulary. She then say but wait til I get grown and on my own. Life has a way of knocking you down, causing reasons for being mad, but you still have to keep on keeping on. Bills will not only make you frown when there is not enough money at the end of the month, bills can make you cry. Then not only will you have a reason to frown, but you will also know the true meaning behind your frown. I know I was not the only kid then nor are my kids the only ones now, who show such expressions. We are living in a day and time where every little or big thing we do for our kids, they are basically not satisfied until or unless they get their way. You do your best and all that you can for your kids, but to them it still never is enough. I remember telling someone who is an adult that was always complaining about this and that, even if it was something of my belongings; there still was a complaint. I said that they are not paying my bills, nor doing nothing for me. &quot;I now find myself telling my kids that they are not paying bills, nor buying food, etc..., so they have no room to be mad, frown, nor complain.&quot; In reality we at times have to give it to our kids straight, instead of putting up with their not being satisfied nonsense, and complaints.</description><link>http://varietyunlimited.blogspot.com/2010/11/unhappy-people.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Variety Unlimited)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692646596830640243.post-7070149623345312105</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-29T16:10:17.625-06:00</atom:updated><title>Pennies Are Worthy</title><description>Tell that to people who cares!
