BIRTHDAY Post

This has been a day. Busy, reflective, tiring, with an end-of-day surprise.
I love the above quote. At my age, I've decided this is the road map I want for the rest of my earthly days.
LIVE:  I'm a "traveler"....enjoy the adventures of seeing new places and meeting people. I'm NOT a homebody by any means! I am more concerned with "going" than doing things like housework, cooking (YUCK!) or cleaning. Those things always take a back seat to any opportunity to "go".....It's who I am. In defense, I DO love to take trips and return "home". There is absolutely NO place like "home", my husband & sweet Ariel.
LOVE:  I truly AM blessed in this life. I enjoy love from many sources.  I have a wonderful, sweet, understanding HUSBAND....who loves me. I have beautiful, loyal FRIENDS....some whom I consider SISTER/Friends. Our FAMILY  is not always together under each other's coattails, but always come together when needed for love and support in happy and sad times.We know our family is there. It's a very secure and satisfying knowing. GRANDkids....there are 4 wonderful human beings I adore. They bring much joy into my life. I am truly thankful for my husband, family and friends. They all rock my world, and the world turns because of all this LOVE.
LAUGH:  Anyone who knows me.....yes, I try to have FUN and laugh every day. I usually can find something humorous in most every situation....no matter how overwhelming! It's easy.....I'd much rather Laugh than to cry all the time!  Laughter is said to be the "best medicine". I think so. A smile given away is always a treat for others. Smiling will change my demeanor in the blink of an eye.
So.....I'm thankful to still be on "this" side of the grass! As everyone, I wonder how these years crept up to this number so quickly!!!!
I am excited about having many more adventures in my life. I will always be ready for a new one.....:)))

LIFE Lessons .....Learning Again !!

Image
This blog is a confession and statement of "new" learning for me. The "darkness" of an "acute" illness, and the healing from that, has been a reality check in full measure! I'm a Believer. I'm one who praises God, prays all the time, and am confident of the Love of my Father. That statement made -- I am still filled w/human nature and it's quircks! We all get "comfortable" in our everyday lives and routines. Well. Mine has been blown apart w/this "healing" process.!! It's going much more slowly than I would desire, and so much seems more difficult, and "lost" a bit. There are books written, quotes out there, and we all kinda believe --don't sweat the "small" stuff. Pfffft! It's the "small" stuff that's giving me such tough issues right now. Go figure! Examples: energy to "move" and do my everyday routines; insecurity/discomfort w/the thought of driving a car (not

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

Image
I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos
