Today is a Lalah Hathaway Friday. And one of gratitude as well. I take nothing for granted. And I am grateful for it all. Gratitude follows the spiritual laws of success. Things flow where they are appreciated.
Don’t Forget To Remember
(written by Donald Lawrence and Andrae Crouch)
(recorded by Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers) Lead by Lalah Hathaway
Chorus:
Don’t forget to remember where all your blessings come from.
Don’t forget to give honor where honor is due.
Don’t forget to give thanks to the One who put you there.
Don’t forget where your blessings come from.
Verse:
Some people get money,
and get on their feet,
and then they change?
Some aquire fortune achieve fame,
some establish value to their name,
and then they change?
Just like the lepers in the Bible days,
who were blessed by the Lord
and went on their way.
Only one came back with gratitude,
Always give honor where honor is due.

no truer words have ever been spoken. Happiness and Gratitude are the consequence of personal effort. There are so many things that come our way that can steal our joy and make us forget how far we have come and our accomplishments. Thanks Comeback!

I have a fear of spiders to the nth degree… yesterday one of the attorneys told me a story about his friend who bit into a banana and hundreds of baby tarantulas ran out… and were in his mouth. I could have died ON SPOT>

Friday, October 10, 2008 at 10:26 am

Friday, October 10, 2008 at 11:44 am
@Anitra: That was my plan! To meet some men. All my girls are hooked up so they aren’t missing anything… shoot, you know men get intimidated. LOL.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 11:47 am
It was very nice meeting all of you. I’m sad to say that I will no longer be visiting/posting on any of these blogs. There’s just too much negativity and drama. I’ve enjoyed my brief interactions with many of you and wish everyone the best!
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 11:48 am
LMAO Nicki now see I didn’t know your girls all had boo’s n what nots, imma need u to play sick and appear at a different undisclosed location.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 11:52 am
Daisy im sorry you feel that way. time does heal all.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 11:55 am
@Daisy: I’m sorry to see you go to… don’t let the negativity run ya away… ignore it… it’s all lemonades.
@Anitra: You ain’t never lied… Keep going to the “bathroom” every 15 minutes. LOL
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 11:57 am
And as soon as I say work is boring, I get the gift of being given an issue which takes me two hours to analyze and solve, right before lunch, while my stomach growls loudly. Sweet.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 11:58 am
NoMore is cracking me up with the stomach growls. You’ve got to keep clean snacks at the desk MAAAAANNNNN!
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Daisy I am sorry you feel that way too. You should stay, i mean who else is going to bake us cookies n give hugs when comeback gets to busy with A.D.D and forgets!
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Awwwww….Daisy we’ll hit you up!
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Poor NoMore…not me not yet…those drinks that man bought are still in my tummy.

Jac: whatcho been drinkin?
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:10 pm

Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:11 pm
I ate my snacks yesterday and forgot to stock back up. You must be one of those people at work who keeps a whole vending machine in her desk drawers. I usually go to them for snacks.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:12 pm
The clear sisters rum and vodka.
Some shots. F’d me up. I was funty.
NoMore:I’ll send u a care pkg
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:12 pm

Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Heroes I feel you, I don’t have snacks at my desk either. Actually wait… there is a chocolate pudding cup thats been sitting here for a couple months now…

Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:15 pm
no cookie for you MIK.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Ok geez sorry I skimmed!
sat and sun it is
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:20 pm
@Comeback: I am gonna try and post it tomorrow… i told jac that’s when I’d try to figure out how to work the blog.
@Nomore: LOL. I sure do… but I try to keep the stuff pretty healthy, like peanut butter and crackers and oatmeal, and poptarts (I love unfrosted strawberry poptarts).. pecans and raisins mixed are good too.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Mik stay away from that pudding! Ew… I don’t think they expire but experiment on one of your co workers. LOL. J/K
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:26 pm
LMAO! Nicki I would go ahead and experiment because they eat everything HOWEVER my birthday is next week and id hate to have my potluck sabatodge due to someone finding out I was responsible for the yucky pudding. people hold grudges round here and when one person is mad they ALL mad…
sound familiar?? lol
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:27 pm
sabotaged*
bless you spell checker
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Mik, not sound familiar???? I’m cracking up. Potlucks scare me… I am always “on a diet.” The others I work with have pets… and I know cats get on counters, fingers get licked… you guessed it, completely, germ a phobe nut I am
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Comeback – what happened to the celibate tribute?
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:35 pm
BTW: Usher’s video “trading places” makes me want to commit an act that I refuse to commit.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Nicki I understand. My ex used to tell me the way you identify a yucky co-worker is to look at their desk, if its nasty n packed with stuff then usually the house and kitchen area looks the same.
So far my findings that it is 95% truth to that.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12:42 pm
@Mik: “So far my findings that it is 95% truth to that.”
HHHHAAAA: that is hilarious. But yes ma’am… i’ve heard the same exact thing…. One of the attorneys had a bbq over his house for the firm and I went over there and ate.. everyone was “other”
He was good though, he’s my fav attorney in here… one of the young ones. But I could eat over his house… but some of the others??????? Yeah, leave it at that.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 1:01 pm
yes and please tell me why they think its ok for hair to be in food?
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 1:13 pm
@Mik: Girl, I have a story for everything. At my old job, there was this lady.. not the cleanest looking and she had long black hair (past your butt long)… she had rosacia all on her face…. and laughed obnoxiously loud… when she laughed, she’d whip her head forward, causing the hair to go all over the place. We had a chili cookoff… one of my teammates decided to bravely eat her chili… yep, you guessed it, found her hair in it. UGGGGGH
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Ewwwwwwwwwww
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 1:18 pm
@Mik: LOL. I Know, right?
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 1:58 pm
im here to validate myself.
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 2:33 pm
@comeback:
I validate you .. cause most times your site validates me and for that I THANK YOU …
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 2:54 pm
awe..thanks Jolie..i was just being rediculous..
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 9:31 pm

Hope ya’ll are having fun/safe weekends!
Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 6:53 am
Hey you too Q..i read your chicken comment. Chile…you could always make your own chicken. fire up that stove.
Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 8:40 am
