A Homegrown Family: T is for...

T is for...

Hmmm, Hubby helped me today, and he keeps calling me with T words most will not be put on here...LOL sorry babe.

But he did say the following...

Talented: why is it others say this, but when we hear it we don't believe it.

Trustworthy

Terrific

Tea tottler: I am not a drinker...now. Twenty years ago I was and so was hubby. He is an alcoholic who has been sober for almost 19 years I have not had one in 13 or 14 years.

Now me...

Trust issues: this one I thought was funny considering hubby said trustworthy, I do not trust people very easily it takes alot for me to trust someone and that includes family members. I have had a very rough road to travel and have been hurt many times so trusting someone is very hard for me.

Taciturn and talkative: Depending on a situation I can clamup and not say a word or talk way to much. If I am intimidated by a situation or a person I get very taciturn and also if I really feel distrust in a person or situation I will be very quiet and most of the time walk away. See I told you I can be rude. lol

Tattoo: I have 3, they are from many many moons ago.

Thankful: I am for all I have been given, for all the hurdles I have had to climb over, for the wrong turns I have taken, and for the many times I have been brought to my knees from my failings. They all have made me who I am and are taking me to who I am to become.

Have a wonderfully blessed day...

Love,
Erika

Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules to Live by:
1. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened.
9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.

Ben Franklin’s 13 Virtues
1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
11.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
