Events from this week made me realize the importance of my family. I'll be decorating with a lot of these quotes as a reminder of these valuable lessons. May I always remember to cherish family.

When are you moving into your new house? I want to send you a house warming gift!
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
Cool! I could send you a Welcome, or make something myself (applied to a board or something) and send it to you! Can I do that? I want to!

I have always been entertained by the fact that we (people in general) are impressed by simple concepts as long as they're in another language. Like, why get a tattoo with "love", "happiness", "strength", "courage", etc in another language, particularly an Asian script, when you could just have the non-ambiguous word in English tattooed instead? The romantic in me understands it, but...

Lindsay: Interesting... I've always been drawn to the Asian scripts, even if I don't know what it says. Never understood why. To me, it's so artistic, so beautiful. English looks boring in comparison. In fact I'm enamored with everything Asian - language, dress, food, etc. Maybe because it's different from what I see everyday...

@Jannifer - yes, I think the attraction to foreign languages has a lot to do with it being different from what you see every day. For instance in Aikido we use the Japanese terms for everything... So there are techniques named ikkyo, nikkyo, sankyo, yonkyo and gokyo which all sounds kind of cool and exotic (and looks it especially if you see them written in the katakana). But they...

Lindsay - OMG Are you into Aikido Martial Arts?? Oooooh I've wanted to get into that form of Martial Arts for years! It was my dream for so long. Then as I got older, I pretty much gave up on the dream - had to put my kids first, not enough funds to take martial arts, life became severely difficult, etc... Now that I'm too old to do something like that, the only thing I can do is decorate with the symbols. *Sigh*
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
Jannifer - yes, I train in Aikido. I'm a brown belt, been training for more than 5 years now. I teach the kid's classes at our dojo too. It's a big part of my life. I don't know how old your kids are but having the whole family train is a good thing. Tad also trains, though he has had some health issues that have kept him from going as much as he wants to. He actually started before I...

Lindsay - you're living the life that was once my dream! Anyway, my kids are older teens - the oldest one wants to get into a different form of martial arts. My husband isn't interested in martial arts. I'll always and forever be fascinated with and love martial arts, especially Aikido! ~ P.S. - I have you on a pedestal now ;-)

I just had a great idea! (I think) I should go pimp out my Myspace with FriendFeed widgets! That way if someone stumbles upon it, they can zip over here!

My email there is wordsforliving@myspace.com if anyone wants to send something so I can see how it looks... Anyway, just trying to make things look pretty in case someone stumbles upon it. They'll at least know what I'm obsessed with...

I have the smallest size applied to a shadow box with memorabilia inside. Very detailed, the size of this graphic goes up to 35" x 17.75" - that is HUGE! I'm going to have to get the largest size for our garage or workshop. I love it and I'm absolutely mortified the Co. has it on the discontinued list! *spits fire*
