Life Circles

Finding everything I need to make a dish for supper

Getting where I was going when roads were closed.

Explaining my logic and person texts that they understand.

Going to Dr at wrong time but they take you anyhow.

Flexibility in everything! Prayers!

A little time to relax. Time to get things done.

Starting a book and knowing you’ll like it.

Finishing a book and being glad they were happy.

Checking in on a friend and wishing them healing. Having someone check in on ME.

Sometimes I feel like I’m going around in circles but I keep circling back to gratitude!

Today Is A Good Day

Choosing to be happy whatever that means giving up or grabbing onto.

Sunshine and cool temperatures. Summer slipping away but its not gone.

I can feel overwhelmed with all I have to do or face it bit by bit.

Dinner with friends tonight. We have known them for over 50 years.

Sipping on coffee and munching on granola.

Haiku written, Gratitude list almost done. Soon I’ll put a notice up for meal at Church.

Believing it will make it so. Have a good day!

 

Grateful For We

49th Anniversary was a wild weekend of music and magic.

Today I’m tired. Had a little weepy time after I talked to my grand daughter.

My emotions range from high to low but I wouldn’t change a thing.

Family. (Pictures to post and share)

Friends ( Amazing how many care)

Hubby (A good sport! How many football fields did we cross?)

One of the days had rain and storms. One had sunshine so intense as to send us scurrying.

A lot like the 49 years! All kinds of weather travelling together. Side by side!

Life’s Pace

Saying stop! Just taking a minute to breathe.

Yesterday was busy, meaning I did four or five things.

Morning was cleaning for a friend. Always glad to make a little money and help her out too.

Afternoon recharge time then dressing to go see a friend sing at Friday music on the mall.

Another friend calls and we decide to go together. Shelby sang a song about rain and the raindrops started.

Meeting on our porch and catching up. Hug then goodbye!

Rockne’s for delayed Anniversary meal. Delicious as usual. Mmm! Lobster bisque!

Watching the rain and checking in on people. Son home safe from Blossom Music Center.

Flooding and power outages but not us.

Strange dream probably brought on by thunder and images of Maui.

Grateful for my bed next to my man.

Making A Good Thursday

49th Anniversary!  Not gold but able to make it shimmery special.

Greetings on Facebook from friends and family. A phone call!

News that car repair is a simple fix is best news of the day!

Ice cream cake? No room in freezer so cookies. Tis a gift to be simple!

Hamburgers for supper. Sounds delightful!

Joyful just to be together doing Thursday things.

Fruitful

Grateful for safe travels yesterday. People were amazed we came all the way from Ohio to host their event.

Good company. Good friends never run out of things to talk about.

The abundance of food we brought including six types of fruit.The sublime lemon bars.

Just imagine the National Park the speaker chose to highlight was Cuyahoga Valley.

I told them of watching sunsets there and how it was spiritual.

My fried who drove was hiding her birthday but we serenaded her with the Beatles birthday song.

She had never heard it before and she’ll never hear it quite like we sang it to her.

Fruit left over. I had some for breakfast. Yesterday spills into today. My cup runneth over!

Rainy Day

Sunshine in the morning leads to drizzle then steady rain. Peaceful rain but I have errands!

Glad to be home. I was cautious as I wasn’t in a hurry.

Fruit to prepare and take on an outing tomorrow. Glad the rain is today.

Looking forward to being with friends. We will have fun!

Each of us has a part of the body we favor. If the guys from Iwoa Jima can hold up the flag we can do this!

Sunday- Grateful

Songs in Worship so beautiful that you vow to look up the lyrics . Thank you Ian and the faithful foursome.

Meaningful message. Closing song choked him up. The spirit was a moving in Church today.

Making plans for  a trip to the Retreat House in New York. I love these sisters in Christ.

Coffee Hour. Something for everyone. Abundance to freeze.

Cheese marvelous in moderation. Inexpensive cookies that don’t taste cheap.

Finding frozen chicken when you need it. Chicken Gusto. Yum!

Reading a good book. Interrupted by phone call but knowing we are made to listen.

Rain coming. The world will pause!

Brilliant Idea

Not grateful for the steep steps that lead to second floor of our home. Time for a change!

Trying to figure out how to create a downstairs bedroom?

Eureka I have an idea! Just rearrange! Some things up and some down.

Hubby reluctantly agrees. The cats will adjust!

Muscles will be provided by youngest. They seem to understand the scheme.

Hinges on getting new mattresses. And I was wishing for that already.

Is 49th Anniversary Mattress? It can be!

I can be patient as car repair comes first.

Hey universe make this work!

Keep Them Safe

Picture of car after red truck hit Nicole’s car. Grateful she wasn’t hurt!

Reading about a carjacking. Kids in the car weren’t hurt.

Car is running and I got errands run.

Touching base with oldest. School starts next week. Choir has already started.

Meat, Potato,Veggies. Friend is having oatmeal.

Friend recovering from an accident is regaining strength.

Numerous calls today. Many messages. Lots of love!

Grateful for my blue phone that though it got wet yesterday keeps me in touch with friends and family.
