My son called me up just the other day…”Mom, what do you want for Christmas?” For me….this question is almost as hard to answer as the question, “What do you want for dinner?” Because for me…it seems that as the years go by, there really isn’t anything that I “want” for Christmas. Oh sure…the old standby gift card is always great and I would never turn one down…but for me…when trying to make a Christmas list this day in age…will …
We are all guilty of it at one time or another. We only see someone from the surface only…and with that…we can be quick to judge on the type of person…that person may really be. It really is sad…but so true. The infamous…”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is worth more than it’s weight in gold. Haven’t you ever met someone and the more you get to know them, the more handsome or pretty, they become…if only in …
Did you know that people have been searching for the key to happiness forever? Well, they have…and they are. Some people seem to think that the key to happiness is to have the ability to live well and have all the high-dollar items that money can buy…while others think it’s the perfect romance….or love story…so to speak. So many others will search high and low in hopes of finding their, “happiness” so with that… they will pursue so many different …
Black Friday Shopping Can you believe it? In a matter of days…the biggest shopping day will be upon us! Black Friday Shopping…this is a day that so many people look forward to. But times have changed so much in the past years…because now there are “Pre-Black Friday Sales” going on everywhere..and they usually begin the first day of November. Prices are slashed everywhere in every store to entice you to shop until you drop! It has gotten to where you …
Hands down…Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday for oh, so many reasons. But before I even get to that let us just get to the actual history of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a national holiday that is celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada…some of the Caribbean Islands and even Liberia. It actually began as a special day of giving thanks and the sacrifices for the many blessings of the harvest of the proceeding year. The history of thanksgiving …
We all love music…right? I know that my day is never complete without having my car radio on SiriusXM or my Pandora on my iPhone. Music is a big part of my everyday life….but the Love Songs…..it’s something about a love song that will tug at your heart…..touch your soul and even stir up a memory or two….maybe three. I want to share with you some of my all-time favorite love songs. Hey, who knows….maybe they will tug at your …
It’s true…..money can buy so many fine things…but it’s what money can’t buy that truly matters in life. You don’t have to be a millionaire to have the finer things in life… did you know that? Oh, sure…..that “high-dollar” bottle of champagne or even that fancy caviar is a fairly obvious staple of those living with the proverbial “silver spoon.” The finer things in life is an English phrase that is fairly well-known. For many people, this phrase means all …
This letter is for you…..any of you really. It is my chance to let you know how my heart really does feel…all the way down…deep into my soul. You see, my dear friend…you came into my life when my heart needed it the most. When there was loneliness and perhaps even sadness. You were always there for me to hear me….to just listen and maybe even to offer up some advice. You were sometimes….just there…..just the knowledge that you were …
My Journey So Far… Did you know that it has been six months since I went “live” with my blog? Well, it has..and it sometimes seems so very surreal to me. I’ve had all of this pent-up desire to write and share my thoughts….my feelings…my advice and even my emotions for quite some time…and then my blog was born. This is becoming such a wonderful experience for me. It is such a “soul-cleanser” and uplifting experience and I’m having the …
I can remember wanting everything that life had to offer. From taking trips, to really doing whatever I wanted and even just doing nothing at all. But, I’m older now…..not old….at least I don’t feel that old….just older. But I have come to realize that as all of the years have gone by, I have done those things and so much more. It’s simply putting everything into perspective. I still have so much more living to do. So much more …
There are so many things in life that I believe are important…no matter how small they may be. To some people, my list of beliefs, that I will share with you may not be important to them or you at all…and that’s okay…because to me they are. But maybe once you read what I have to share…well, you will say to yourself….”Oh, yea…I believe in that too.” All About People I believe most people are too hard on themselves. Whether …
I consider myself fairly laid back…for the most part. I really am more of a home-body….not really one for going out all over the place…with every free moment that I have…unless it is a vacation of course. At least this is more of how I am now that I’m older. My life isn’t perfect…I’ve never claimed it to be…but it’s perfect for me. Don’t get me wrong…there are so many things that I long for and even yearn to do…but …
