Grateful for energy. My life is a series of events. Let me see them as opportunities not obligations.

Using the last Christmas gift card. Yum!

Grateful for a nap. The need to unwind.

Evening service tonight. Music and message will inspire.

A response on Facebook that makes me feel acknowledged.

The amazing fact that you can order something and have it in four days.

Pleasant people.

Laughter and contentment.

Happy Easter every one!

The trees burst with buds. Daffodils waving in the breeze.

Grass is growing. Neighbors are mowing.

Children excited about the Easter bunny.

Tyguy painted Easter rocks. Looking good!

Figuring out Easter plans. Love to see my local kids! (Though it makes me miss the others.)

Cheesecake or trifle. Lazy or ambitious.

The full moon left me sleepless. Was it pink? Not when I saw it!

Jackets instead of coats.

My own bed. My house. My stuff. My mess.

The pace of life that takes your breath away and leaves you breathless.

Holy Week .The music of Palm Sunday. The children sang there part and waved the palm with joy.

Many activities at Church leading up to Easter. Holy Thursday service, Good Friday. Easter Prayer Vigil.

Embracing change  instead of resisting it.

Pacing myself.

Healing and acceptance.

Grateful to make money so I can be generous.

Ordering my Grand daughter’s birthday present.

I was trying to text my daughter and actually called her. What a happy accident!

We normally don’t talk except at holidays.

I think she feared I had tragic news. (Glad I didn’t)

We had a wonderful chat. The language of Lularoe.

Frosting on the cake Tyguy was available for a minute. I think I would never be sad if I could hear his cheery voice  every day. Hi Grandma!

Hopefully, we will get Skype downloaded soon.

In talking to the pastor, I realize we all feel broken and empty.  I am not alone.

This week I will fill myself by reaching out to others and heal myself with connections.

I choose to be happy. I strive to be well.With courage I will change what I can  and  accept what I cannot. Be brave!Celebrate the possibilies!

My awesome son.

Laughter, for it truly is the best medicine somedays.

Dressed for Church. Hubby says “chic”! Thankful for Springtime clothes though it is 34 out.

Always feel trendy when I wear leggings.

Earrings. I haven’t worn any in a long time.

April!  Starts slows then gets busier and busier.

Need  to start writing down the many things I’ll be doing. Grateful to be a servant.

Sunshine in my eyes as I awake.

Carol mentioned me in her blog.

Crystal tells a story about becoming.

I share a story about running away and coming home.

• Grateful for….
• Happy April ♥
• Lovely Spring month
• Sue and Al back from Arizona
• Good news on our taxes :)
• Green grass showing in the yard
• GPa’s homemade biscuits…yum
• Austin & Caitlyn at the OR coast for spring break
• Rare (thank goodness) excitement in our neighborhood: Police chased a man and woman in their car from downtown and into our area where they abandoned the car…Wow, police with rifles and a canine walking and driving past our home…thought this only happened in the “big cities”… we locked our doors and brought Cookie inside (she’d let us know if anyone was there but, of course, would happily let them in :)  …scary when it’s your own neighborhood….the “druggies” got away on foot but they’ll catch them since they know who they are…first time that’s ever happened to us and hopefully it won’t again.
• Watching Luann’s cat, YoYo, play…he is big and fluffy and sooo cute…we love him…when he and Cookie meet up in the yard, they accept each other as they are and go on their independent ways.
