What should your mindset be as they propel into the professional arena? There's a way we as supportive parents should act as we assist them in their endeavors. The playbook is different for us yet parallel to the playbook of the athlete.

I laughed, an actual LOL, as I dug through my purse for the exact change change ( "old people!"). I suppose this is a right of passage for all generations. We cling desperately to our generations. We cling desperately to our youth as we quickly condemn "kids today." Certain that our experience is more authentic, we recall the good old days with nostalgia while mourning how things are changing, confident that today's youth are missing out on some crucial element of development. Truthfully my parents had to keep calling me to come in the house to eat while I was so use to going outside to play as punishment for my kids. Back in the day we ran around outside, rode bikes, climbed trees, played kick ball, slept in tents in the backyard ( not me), all in the name of childhood. We also walked to school in the snow. Who remembers that? <div>"Kids today" are on social media doing Lord knows what, and talking to Lord knows who and I do stress about it with my grandkids. I go visit them and they are on their devices in their rooms all the time even at the dinner table. I shake my head and complain to their parents! </div><div>My parents had to pull me inside, I had to pull my kids inside, but with these kids today, you have to push them Outside. The goal is the same, balance. Anyone growing up over 20 years ago had to make an effort to be social (not me). Today being alone requires effort. Technology has made being connected the new normal and for us talking about the good ole days, I think it's important to accept that things are not going to change. We as parents, grandparents need to caution and warn kids today to have balance. </div><div>If we start small by recognizing that we all share this trait of living together maybe we can begin to step back and be more open to others, especially our "kids today."</div><div><br></div><div>Lovingly, </div><div>Mama McNabb</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-54232514505062676672019-03-22T13:23:00.001-06:002019-03-22T13:23:00.254-06:00Still here <p dir="ltr">Been on a major project for the last 3 months.

They behave as if no one else in the world can do what they do. That is to say, they get an exaggerated sense of their own importance and are puffed up with pride, making it difficult for most people to work with them. <div>These swollen-headed types also usually cease learning. Why shouldn't they? Don't they already know everything in their FIELD ? Despite their talent, they lose their talent, they lose their usefulness. They tend to do little but think about themselves.

Nice guys finish first in all life's most important places. A nice guy like you can quickly find support in times of need. And he sure will be trusted for doing that in all phases of life. I would tell young men, " tell the truth, don't lie to me". If I know the truth I will stand with you. I say that to my grandchildren as well. A nice guy doesn't have to buy favors or friendships. God rewards nice guys with peace of mind that can only come with a clear conscience. Nobody ever looks at a nice guy with distaste and say they don't know how you sleep at night. So if you want to feel good and continue throughout your life. Sleep at night, and continue to be a nice guy. </div><div>That's my advice.</div><div><br></div><div>Mama McNabb</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-33192386275860450922018-08-04T12:04:00.001-06:002018-08-04T12:04:41.200-06:00Stay Humble SonsLack of humility will eventually lead to humiliation. <div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Mama McNabb</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-61755841579489600022018-08-02T12:07:00.001-06:002018-08-02T12:07:27.236-06:00Have a Happy Everything<div><br></div>May you always know how appreciated you are.<div>May you never forget what a blessing you've become to a world that could use more people like you.</div><div>May you reap the rewards of kindness. </div><div>May your sunshine always shine through.</div><div>May love walk by your side. </div><div>May friendship sing in your smile. </div><div>May opportunity remember to knock on your door and surprise you once in a while. </div><div>May your memories be ones that you wouldn't trade for anything. </div><div>May your hopes and dreams find ways of coming true.</div><div><br></div><div>That's why I dearly wish Happy Everything for you! </div><div><br></div><div> Douglas Pagels</div><div><br></div><div>Mama McNabb</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-75306612458330130542018-07-23T14:24:00.001-06:002018-07-23T14:24:17.624-06:00Powerful Sisterhood of MOMSPlease check out the links below, written by NFL Mom, Annie Apple:<div><br></div><div>https://theundefeated.com/features/the-nfls-powerful-sisterhood-of-moms/</div><div><br></div><div>https://theundefeated.com/features/national-anthem-policy-insnt-sitting-well-with-some-nfl-moms.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-45336970343371411852018-05-25T17:35:00.000-06:002018-05-25T17:35:40.276-06:00My Son bought me donutsI am at my #2 sons house for a graduation. My oldest grand will be graduating from middle school tonight. We arrived a few days ago, so I didn’t actually get to see the family until the next morning. I don’t know but every time I get in this state I crave donuts. Son has such a busy schedule with gym work outs, coaching B.B., Football and everything else he does. I asked him to bring me some donuts. Everyday he has some excuse. “Ma they’re closed, they even ran out of donuts or the worst excuse was, “ you don’t need no donuts.” Whaaaaaaat? I didn’t tell you that when you were coming up and asked for something, did I? I even ask him, “do you love your Mama?” Now you Moms out there know it’s the principle of the matter, I asked and know you should try and respond in a favorable manner. I didn’t ask you for the nutritional value of a donut. I wanted to see if you would grant your Mama her wish. That’s all...<br />
Others in the home, brought me donuts, but I wanted them from my Son!<br />
But TODAY, my son #2 heart brought his Mama the donuts. I smiled from ear to ear & kissed him real bigly too! I know he loves me and I know too that he will give me what I ask for. Even the non nutritional, fattening, sweet not good for diabetics donuts. I’m in heaven.<br />
Thank the Lord for my sons! A blessing they are to me. Amen.<br />

Damn. Damn. Damn.I am getting very worried about my grandchildren, all of our children trying to learn in school. Attacks with weapons on innocent Young babies. Stop it. Stop it.. What's happening? Stupid people all around here. Yes I know mental illness is real. And it appears which is not new among our young as well. You know if your child has an anger problem, why would you let them have access to a gun? Something is wrong with you. I'm mad. I am tearful. I hate this! I want my grandchildren next to me right now! They don't attend urban schools! They go to school where they are a minority. Yes with racists too. Each of my grands have had incidents at school, from my 8 year old to my now 13 year old! Ok I'm off the subject. Our government need to do something about these shootings NOW. Stop with the politics.

This is the first year the draft was held at an NFL stadium. AT&T Stadium proved to be a great choice. The NFL invited 80 prospects going in the draft. Prospects in the past were called Rookies, my how things change. And since they had ample room to showcase the draftees they did. When Donovan was drafted they invited 8 Rookies! Wow. This year they invited 80. The NFL experience was fantastic. In last weeks draft, teams seemed to be saying younger is better when it came to top pics. 17 of the 32 players selected in the first round was 21 & younger. It's a continuation of a trend. I guess the younger prospects have left college early - in fact, those who stayed in school have often garnered the bigger headlines. So the increase in top drafted underclassmen isn't completely explained by the overall increase in players declaring. After eligibility was granted for underclassmen, NFL coaches praised now for knowledge of the college game were still stating a general preference for seniors. Apparently younger draftees perform better. <div>But what about the age at the games most important position, quarterback? This is the one position where pros and cons of age are arguably most balanced. Older QBs may be ready to slot into an offense right away if that's what a team needs, while other teams may have the luxury of letting a younger player carry the clipboard for a while. So for a QB age is even more important. </div><div>Great observation from FiveThirtyEight. A good read, don't you think? </div><div><br></div><div>Mama McNabb</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-82190344486292311132018-04-12T16:54:00.001-06:002018-04-12T16:54:26.222-06:00Happy Everything folks!It's been a few months since I've posted in my blog, I apologize for that. From time to time I had subjects to discuss but somehow backed away from it. I didn't want to be political due to how I'm feeling might not be a good thing. So I opted out. There also were some family health issues so I've been a little overwhelmed with that. But the good thing was my birthday, in which I celebrated the whole month of March. That's what I do as we cruised along the Carribean on Celebrity cruise line. My family & friends made this years birthday spectacular. I appreciated it too. So now I will write a happy message for all who might need it. <div> Have a Happy Everything folks. </div><div><br><div>May you know how appreciated you are. May you never forget what a blessing you've become to a world that could use more people like you. May you reap the rewards of kindness. May your sunshine always shine through. May love walk by your side. May friendship sing in your smile. May opportunity remember to knock on your door and surprise you once in a while. May your memories be ones that you wouldn't trade for anything. May your hopes and dreams find ways of coming true. May you never forget how dearly I wish a Happy Everything for you.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Mama McNabb❤️</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-74663861740194281842018-01-23T19:01:00.001-07:002018-01-23T19:01:13.148-07:00God's Calming WayWhen the trials, temptations, uncertainties, and anxieties of this fast-paced society beat around us like a one hundred mile an hour hurricane, we can cling to the solid Rock, Jesus Christ. <div> There is something about the way He pulls us into the eye of the storm, where we are forced to sit, listen, and feel His calming presence. </div><div> I can't understand how He does it. He just has a way of surrounding us with peace when we stop what we're frantically doing and cry out, " Here Lord is all my stress, my crazy schedule, my temptations, and worries, Please help me."</div><div> We hand it all over like a CEO does with his or her secretary, and we anxiously wait for everything to be sorted out and put in the right order.

I call it bitter sweet. Your best laid plans can unravel and people you trust the most can let you down. Disappointment is a fact of life. But so are comfort and restoration. When you feel that you have a black cloud over your head, remember the rainbow. God is a God of new beginnings and promise. He brings life from a dying seed, spins sunrise out of darkness, and soothes hurting hearts. No matter what you go through, He will be with you, offering comfort and strength and hope for a brighter tomorrow. Life has a way of raining on our parade.

I'm meeting myself coming and going. Forgetting why I came in this room, easily distracted. Although the things I must accomplish are good, I'm struggling to keep above all that is happening. <div> Even though these days are busy, thank YOU for helping me along the way. I tried to simplify today's schedule ahead of time ( my type A personality), but more last minute little things plopped in my lap. You are so wonderful for granting me a joyful heart and the energy to shift into overdrive so I could make it through successfully. </div><div> When I feel like I'm spinning my wheels, YOU help me along and sometimes give me a little push. When I get anxious and loose my focus, YOU remind me of YOUR calming presence.</div><div> I am happy in your awesomeness and will try to walk in YOUR footsteps. When I get a little wobbly, I praise YOU for holding me up. </div><div> Thank YOU, Lord for loving me and helping me relax. For soothing my frustrations. Every time I ask for YOUR guidance, YOU add time to my day. </div><div> For this day's help and guidance, I thank YOU, Lord. Please help tomorrow be a little less hectic so I may shift out of overdrive. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Mama McNabb</div><div>(Praying for the world today & this week in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey & approaching Hurricane Irma) </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-22342642828909187202017-08-29T13:43:00.001-06:002017-08-29T13:43:06.798-06:00Social Media Fans the flames of bullying<div>I read this article and thought all parents/grandparents need to know.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div> Parental involvement can be key to controlling the burn<div><br></div><div>Franciscan Health experts agree it is among the most prevalent challenges youngsters face and one of which parents need to be aware and help to prevent.

We get that. Really. Still, there's that corner of the heart that protests, "I miss him. I remember when he needed me." In other words, we don't want to be forgotten. No matter what your age, you'll always be important to me, and I love spending time with you. Allowing me to share in all the stages of your life ( grands ) is the best present you'll ever give me. Flowers and cards are nice, but my favorite present will always be you. <div><br></div><div>Always enjoy one another and take time to enjoy family life together.....</div><div><br></div><div>Mama McNabb</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123335445398860512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007263861368157817.post-2343881893089002832017-07-25T15:08:00.000-06:002017-07-25T15:10:55.132-06:00Four Reasons to break a sweatThe fast path to flushing Toxins<br />
<br />
Doctors, health experts and fitness gurus tell us that we should break a sweat every day and for good reason. Sweat not only activates a host of benefits ties to health boosting exercise, perspiring itself is curative. Whether sitting in a sauna, walking on a warm day or working out, sweating is a necessary bodily function with powerful healing effects. By clearing out a range of toxins, sweat plays an essential role in the body's natural detoxifying function. Here are some of the toxins it helps eliminate:<br />
1. Persistent organic pollutants ( solvents, fumigant and insecticides).<br />
2. Phthalate (plasticizer - plastic products )<br />
3. Heavy metals ( aluminum, zinc, copper, and nickel)<br />
4. Bisphenol A (BPA) ( found in canned foods, plastic water bottles)<br />
<br />
The next time the couch and air conditioning beckon, think of all the "sweaty" benefits about to be sacrificed. Breaking a sweat might seem like an effort, but it keeps internal detox systems healthy and optimally functioning.<br />
