Dream big, see yourself getting there. Catch a ride on faith and fly high. Roll in the grass act like a child and let go of all your struggles. Pretend today is a holiday take time to play.

Rambo and his toys

My two old boys who have been part of my life for the last 13 years just had a birthday. They got fresh "CATNIP" and their own can of wet food. it is hard to believe that all these years could have come and gone. They have made me laugh and cry. They have made me whisper and SCREAM! But through it all I love them. and in their cat way they love me. Rambo did something very funny today while I was gone to work. He some how (I think with Angus's help) got my sock drawer open and took every pair of my work socks out and made a pile on the bed! Now just in case you wonder how I know it was Rambo... he was laying on the pile of socks licking them. It also looked like he had spent a good part of the day keeping the other cats at bay! I'm glad to say that no other inappropriate behavior towards the socks were detected and after a quick run through the washer and dryer they are at this writing good as new. Rambo though has been giving me the "EYE". I'm sure he is thinking tomorrow is another day and I'll get you than my pretty!. It is wonderful that such small things can bring such great happiness.

NO MATTER WHAT THE STATISTICS SAY, THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY!

Just For Today

Today as I wrote in my gratitude journal it was hard to think of much I was grateful for.

So I went out for a walk through the neighborhood behind where I live. What I saw was life in bloom everywhere I looked. God is in the fine print where ever we look. Nothing is as bad as it might seem at the time.

In my case a car in the shop that just dose not want to be fixed. I know it will be alright and that it is such a little thing. The car will be fine or it will not. But no matter what, I know that God is in all the details of my life.

So just for today I will be happy. I will live through this day and I will be able to tackle all my problems no matter how big or small... just for today I will be happy..

THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS STRONGER THAN

ANYTHING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO IT

Older sisters are lible to nag. To refuse to lend you things. To scold. To make you walk too fast.
But on the other hand, they take on bully boys at school and send them running for their lives. they disentangle problems in arithmetic and knitting.
And when they're grown they listen to your secrets and anxieties. And never tell without your say-so.
An older sister is a friend, and a defender, a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too.

Thank you LuAnne for letting me be your big sister.

Spring Advice from a lonely Daffodil

As we travel through this life there will always be those times when decisions just have to be made. When the choices we have to make are hard and the solutions seem scarce. When the rain seems to always be socking our parade. There are situations where all you can do is to simply let go and move on.

gather your courage together and choose a new direction that will lead you toward a new destination.

Pack up your troubles and step forward. these may be the hardest change you have to make. Like the lone daffodil in my garden there is excitement ahead for us if we stay true to our course.There is adventures unimaginable just around the bend in the road. Our wishes and dreams my well be coming true and in ways we can only imagine.

There are new friendships to find, new interest and challenges waiting for us to engage. Perhaps you will go places you only imagined before. Perhaps you will see things that you have never seen before.

Remember to stay centered, listen with interest to the stories of all you meet. There you will be able to find comfort and support for all you do.Have faith and believe that what ever the decision you have made is the RIGHT choice for you.

Just one foot in front of the other... one day of your life at a time...
