If YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S ...
?


You had that Fisher Price Doctor 's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked. ?
?
?
You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.


?
You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels.


?
?
You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!)


?
?
?
You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

?
?
?
You owned ?"Klick-Klacks" and smacked yourself in the face more than once.


?
?
?
You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill". People sometimes thought you were a boy.


?
Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.


?
?
You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.


?
You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.


?
You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits.


?
You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once.
?
?
You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color. (Oh yeah!)
?
You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle). You also had a pair of salt-water sandals. ?(is this an east coast thing??)
?

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!
?
You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink.!
?
Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket.
?
?
?
~ When you walked, the "wings" flapped up and down, looked like you were gonna "take off"
?
You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.
?
You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic. With the thermos inside!
?
You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.
?
YOU had Star Wars action figures, too!
?
It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!
?
You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry. Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or David Cassidy..?"
?
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.
?
You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.
?
You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!
?
You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.
?
You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

?

?
You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)


?
You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics.


?
You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.
?
You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
?
?
?
You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was ?the first "real" perfume you ever owned .. .
?
~ you glopped your lips in Strawberry Roll-on lip gloss till it almost dripped off.
?
PASS THIS ON TO ALL OF YOUR 30 OR 40-SOMETHING GIRLFRIENDS. IT WILL
MAKE THEM SMILE TOO!!!!

?

STRONG WOMEN AND WOMEN OF STRENGTH

 

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape,

but a woman of strength looks deep inside to keep her soul in shape...

 

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything,

but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...

 

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her,

but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone...

 

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future,

but a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be blessings and capitalizes on them...

 

A strong woman walks sure footedly,

but a woman of strength knows when to ask for help...

 

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face,

but a woman of strength wears grace...

 

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey,

but a woman of strength has faith that is in the journey that she will become strong...

 

pretty neat eh??? :o)

 

 

What lies behind us and
What lies before us are
Tiny matters compared to
What lies within us.

Connie <cdmd@...> wrote:
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.
I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.
"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids..."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.
She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.
I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.
Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this
whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing
There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream When you lose your dreams, you die.
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with
regrets."
She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.

I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.

"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.

She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids..."

"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.

We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.

She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet.

I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.

Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this

whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream When you lose your dreams, you die.

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with

regrets."

She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
