On Your Mark — Get Set…….GO!
Shopping is in full force this morning — well, actually, it was in full force at 5 pm yesterday. Seems “Black Friday” is no longer reserved for just Friday. In fact, I purchased an item several days ago that was advertised as a “Black Friday” sale. Clearly, the Thanksgiving holiday is done for another year.…
Thankful to “Thank” My Way Through Thanksgiving
It’s Thanksgiving week when we amp up the hearts of gratitude for the many blessings in our lives. This morning I woke up and……oh, let’s begin there. I woke up. I got out of bed. Oh, I’m so thankful for my bed and a good night’s sleep. I got out of bed. Oh, I got…
Living OUT LOUD
I’m taking it all in — that is — applauding, giving high 5s and standing ovations to those moments, events, accomplishments and celebrations of my precious friends and family. In the words of Émile Zola, French Nobel Prize winner in 1901, “If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I will…
The Attitude of Gratitude
I’ve loved seeing FB posts by many of you who are expressing 30 days of gratitude in this month of Thanksgiving. Others are just randomly posting how grateful they are for their faith, God’s love and life’s sweetest blessings — their family, friends, their health, their precious times together making memories — all those things…
You Light Up My Life
If anyone ever says, “Why be on Facebook?”, you all have given the reasons. Throughout my day, to have received such beautiful wishes and thoughts, makes this “young” woman beyond amazed and grateful! I am so thankful for God’s blessings in my life, and you all are right at the top of the list of…
Remembering to Remember
Yesterday was Memorial Day and I couldn’t help but notice all the photos of tombstones on FB that represent fallen soldiers. I also saw many FB posts and photos that were honoring loved ones who served in the armed services, as well as to those loved ones who were so dearly loved and remembered on…
Living, Laughing, Loving
Isn’t that what it’s all about? Living….really living this life we’ve been given — with all its many adventures. Laughing out loud in the midst of the good living and the tough-living-times. AND, most of all LOVING God, others AND ourselves. Sure, there’s plenty to complain and worry about but, seriously, why waste time, energy…
Holy Week — a Time for Remembering
Just look at those amazing signs of Spring that celebrate this marvelous Holy Week aka Passion Week, the week just before Easter. Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the sacred day that commemorates the entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, where He rode into town on a donkey as crowds of people joyfully lauded him and spread…
Two Are Better Than One
My photo inspiration today is my two youngest grandsons — Brennan & Bryson. I knew someday I’d get a caption for it. Today is that day. “You mean the world to me and my life just wouldn’t be the same without you.” How’s that for expressing gratitude for someone in our life? We all know…
Who Are You Hanging Out With?
Day 349 of Photo Inspirations — Who Are You Hanging Out With? On Saturday, I went for my monthly weigh-in at Weight Watchers. For 30+ years, Weight Watchers has been my accountability and sustainability partner to keep this girl in line when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight. I reached my goal weight many…
