     Money from the book will go to Honduras to the Good Shepherd's Home and school. I have worked with this group for around 10 years to support the over 200 children who have been abounded by their  families. The goal for this money is to keep a trade school going for young men who will be equipped with trade skills to function in the future as productive workers. 



Excerpts from:

"Put Some
 Good On My Life"
    by
 Billie buckley


Grandparents...BB and GG

Restoring Your Marriage

The greatest loss of wonder comes between a man and woman in marriage.  My favorite preacher and I fight a lot.  We fight together to keep a sense of wonder in our marriage.  Now, we lose some battles every once in a while, but we have never lost the war.  What's our secret?  I'm not sure he wants me to tell you, but if you promise not to tell... We always:

  • Try to fuss over each other.
  • Remember to laugh and keep a good sense of humor.
  • Forget to nag each other.
  • Brag on each other's appearance and effort.
  • Permit no one to know that we may be going through a "dry spell".
  • Never speak these words: "None of your business."

         -Excerpt from "Put Some Good On My Life".


Great mothers...Jewell and Kristi

 

To My Daughters-in-Law

I must admit to you that I still get nervous about being a new mother-in-law.  Reading Ann Landers lately hasn't helped either; nor does it help that all the bad  mother-in-law jokes involve mothers who have sons and not daughters.  That means I could mess up twice!

Maybe we need to start with a new set of Ten Commandments.  From Moses to this day they have been given.  Let's call this set A Mother-in-law's Ten Commandments:

 

  • Thou shalt make thy daughter-in-law special.
  • Thou shalt be supportive.
  • Thou shalt ask no questions.
  • Thou shalt plan the right amount of love.
  • Thou shalt limit thyself.
  • Thou shalt avoid advice.
  • Thou shalt not be overly sensitive.
  • Thou shalt not be too talkative.
  • Thou shalt not be domineering.
  • Thou shalt keep thy arms open and thy mouth closed.

      -Excerpt from "Put Some Good On My Life".


Our Sons...Steve and Stan

On Our Sons' Wedding Days

"Please remember this:

  • When she is scared, be her strength.
  • When she is sad, be her joy.
  • When she is tired, be her energy.
  • When she is lonely, be her friend.
  • When she is happy, be her laughter.
  • When she is lost, be her light.
  • When she is proud, be her applauding audience.
  • When she is playful, be her playmate.
  • When she is a mother, be her helpmate.
  • And finally, when she is old, be her lover."

Love,  Mother.

                                              Book's Forward

This book was written one column at a time, week by week by week. I never once locked myself in an Ivory Tower and meditated over it.

Please don't look for organization because there is none. It was written from the heart and I ask you, "How can you organize your heart?"

The idea for the title came from a sixth grade student named Danny. He told me one day not to put a check mark on his paper but to write the word "good" on his paper with a smiling face.

His exact words were "Put some good on my paper, Mrs. Buckley."

Now that is a high calling and it is exactly why I write...to help you see the good all around you in your relationship with yourself, with others and with God.

To those who looked and could find no good in my life, I say thank yor for not writing, "That's bad."

I am grateful you wrote, "Let's work on it together and try to fix it."

It is to all of you  who will read my book and share its message I write, "Thank you for putting some good on my life!"
