2019….where did you go? It seems just like yesterday we were just saying “Hello”. But with all of that being said…let me go back in time….at least to January anyway. New year… new desires…new hopes and dreams. That’s what we all look forward to on New Year’s Day. It’s back to work after all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays come to an end. Welcome….February….it’s our 23rd wedding anniversary and Valentine’s day right there after….but for me…”Everyday is …
Christmas music…you will more than likely start hearing it played as early as Thanksgiving Day. The sounds of Christmas always put people in the “Holiday Spirit”…allowing them to go shopping….start decorating and let us not forget all of that yummy Christmas baking. My most favorite time to listen to Christmas music is when we go out riding around looking at Christmas lights. So sit back…relax…and grab a cup of hot cocoa. Here are some of my favorite Christmas tunes. The …
It’s funny..in a really sad kind of way..how so many things in our lives, just seem to come to a dead-end…run its course.. lose its luster or even the proverbial magic. Why do you think this happens really? Is it because we lose interest…get bored or simply do not care any longer..or perhaps just out-grow the situation…probably so. It happens every day., and I for one really hope that the later isn’t the case for most. But it’s all true…and …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

What is Life? Our life………its full of ups and downs……sadness and sorrow…..decisions and complications. Life….is full of surprises…excitement…let downs and disappointments. Life…..it’s about lessons and learning….compromises and even compassion. Life….it’s all of those things, but so much more. A Gift We are all a gift in this world….did you know that? You better believe it. We are a blessing and a miracle all rolled into one. This is why it is so hard for me when individuals take their own …
