It's been awhile again. I thought I would be able to post more often but I am such a procrastinator -- does it show? An exciting thing is happening to me this month. My brother, who I hadn't seen in over 27 years, has moved to Texas and is living with me until he can get his own place. It has been such a joy to have him around and at times a little nerve-racking. I am proud of who he is today. But he has quite a bit of the Hainsworth in him and enjoys debating as he calls it. (Sometimes it feels like arguing.) He says he's just very opinionated. And I find his opinions are too often opposite of mine. I think what I need to learn to do is if his opinion is different than mine just accept it and find another topic to talk about. I think when we get into her 50s or even close to it, as he is only 49, we are pretty set in our ways. When we meet someone with a different opinion why is it that we want to get them to change their way of thinking. I know that I am not always right, even if I think I am, (lately I've been thinking I am right quite often) so I tend to try and get Scott to change his thinking which he hasn't done even once. lol Although a couple of times after were through "debating" a subject he will say something like "I can see why you might think that way and it's not all bad..." hey it's a start. But all in all it is nice having him here. He started his new job today and Roy is also gone, working on his Harley Davison, so the house is quiet and mine alone, even Jack is in his bed taking a nap. While everyone is doing the things they want to do a decided to do a little housecleaning and then spend the rest of the day doing what I want to do. That's only fair!
A couple of days after my brother got here from Las Vegas I hopped a plane and headed for Las Vegas to a convention for World Ventures. I kind of found some humor in that. The convention was nice and I learned a lot of new things, at least I thought I did at the time but now I can't remember any of them. That's the point of taking notes I guess. I tried taking notes and couldn't even read my own handwriting. So I think I have decided there will be no more conventions or training events for me until I figure out a way being able to recall the things that were taught there. But all in all the convention was nice and did give me more faith in the company because of so many people that were there at the convention. Plus there were several, more than just several, new directors that were introduced. This tells me the company is working for those people. It's a good company with good products and a good way to make a living and in the process really enjoy life. My problem is I just don't know how to let people know about the company. And I'm told and told by others in the company how I should do things and that if I would do it this way then it would work. So I've got a mentor. And I'm still a little surprised by the fact that she lives in England and yet she's still called me here in Texas. Maybe this is something that will work for me.
Okay I think it's time for me to go and do my Bible study and then get online with Bible College and do one of the lessons there also since it has been several weeks since I have been there. Y'all have a great day and I will talk to you all soon. Love, Vicki
