New Year

well the new year has started and I have a new and fresh attitude to go along with it! over my life time I have always worried about everyone else, but this year I am going to take care of ME!!! I am tipping the scale at 205 and on all kinds of meds for blood pressure, diabetes  and so on....this is it....they say when you know better you do better...well here I go

there is such beauty all around us.....

sad....

all the killing just makes my heart sad. There is so much beauty in this world and it is over shadowed by hate and violence...everyday I wake up and try to do better than I did the day before...trying to find my authentic self...not easy, taking me 58 years...the killing stops me in my tracks every time! what if...just what if we all woke up everyday and decided to LOVE? just LOVE everyone we come in contact with? a smile ,kind word or a helping hand? this will not cost us anything....I pray that that is how I am everyday,   I don't make it everyday I allow the bad words or negative crap of others tio get in my way...I get so disappointed in myself...but tomorrow is my new day and I will wake up and choose LOVE....yes I will  :)

dear Maw Maw M,

        Just want you to know that I love you!!!!

           

making my mamma potato salad....reminds me of spring....as a kid one of us always peeling potatoes for something mamma was making...miss those days...

why, hello

it has been a long awaited arrival.

we are just finally getting settled into our place. finally getting internet and re-connecting with the world at large. life has been cold, but fast moving. lots of school, and babysitting. i have been thankful to have made a few friends that live very close by. one who has another three year old little girl of her own, named emma. i am over here on their 58 acre farmstead now "watching" her so her mama and daddy can celebrate a birthday.

i am looking forward to spring as well. today was a decently warm afternoon. and i cant help but dream of summer nights, roasting marsh mellows in the backyard. oh, summer.

the silkies
i have found myself on the slow mood.....done with winter and anticipating what spring will bring.... all the special things to come....the garden maybe a new chick or two....sewing for a new grand baby due in may....and spending special time with some young grand girls....playing kick ball with my little grandson and breathing in the fresh air and spending time outside....i think that is what i need...yes
