Monday Musings

Grateful Carol is home! She arrives like a fresh breeze!

We already have a Barbie movie watching party planned! What shall I wear!

Storm hit Stow last night. Amazing to see the Community rallying to get trees cut.

Pastor’s street was hit but they are fine.

What will you do with the last half of Summer?

Watermelon for breakfast. What a treat!

Time to work. Company for my friend and spending money!

Have a grateful day!

Last Week Of July

Grateful for the many blessings of July and I still have a week to go.

Grateful for health and healing. Hopeful that M recovers without incident.

Peace and inner calm. I can keep my wits about me even when chaos threatens.

Letting go of frustrating things. Grateful how unburdened that makes me feel.

Rose of Sharon has a bloom when did that happen? Probably in response to the downpour the other night.

I will treasure this last week of July as if it were Christmas in July!

Looking

Friend having eye problems. Grateful for my vision. Praying for a solution for her!

Grateful what I can envision when I anticipate.

Grateful for the memories I can picture.

Amazing when a memory pops up on Face Book that you don’t recall.

Grateful for colors. Summer is rich with them.

My hydrangea is blooming-bright blue!

Look around so much to see!

Time to say Goodbye

Leaving Siesta Key in the morning!

So grateful for a two week vacation – you can really settle in

Spent time with my dear Diane Tygard this afternoon

We went to the Goodwill Bookstore in Sarasota

She taught me how to do “Diamond Art”

Loved it, but I can see how people get hooked on it!

Tom and I went to one of our favorite restaurants – Dutch Valley – for dinner

Heading North in the morning!

Miracles

My card made it to Carol quickly. She called to tell me.My postcard from her is taking the scenic route. Do you see all the miracles of communication there?

Miracles of relationships!

Storm approaching looked gruesome grateful it was not devastating.

Grateful to meteorologist who keep us up to date. “Greenish” sent some people to the basement.

Amazing how the grass greens up after rain. Happy birds looking for a worm or two.

Two trips to the grocery store to replenish our food supply. Almost anything you can think of is available. Grateful for food. Grateful for enough money to buy it.

Steak tonight. A special treat. We made it to another Friday.

 

Beach Life

our last wonderful day at the beach

I love reading at the beach – Oh Reader! magazine

I videoed lots of people who were walking on the beach

we had a seagull brigade right in front of us

going out in the water for a circle of conversation – way fun!

Nate (grandson) holding my hand and escorting me out in the water because of my tricky knees

Kevin (son) took a picture of Nate and me holding hands from the back – I love this photo so much!

tonight we stayed in and made pierogis and vegetables for dinner

then we binge watched “Big Bang Theory”

Kevin, Nate, and Andrew came over and we took a selfie – it’s on Facebook already

Happy Day!

Brunch at one of Kevin’s friend’s houses this morning. Great food and amazing surroundings.

A nice afternoon nap!

Off to Venice (Florida) for dinner at Sharky’s. I love it when the gang goes to dinner.

Blue margarita! I love blue drinks – they are so festive! Yippee yo yo YO!

Took some photographs I really like.

The sunset was amazing. I videoed it!!

A wonderful day!

It Matters

It matters when Carol likes my haiku so much she asks to post it on Facebook.

“Synchronicity   You can live your life in fear    Or look for magic!”

When Hubby rides with me to Walmart though he doesn’t need anything.

Active listening some friends are going through some heavy things right now.

Prayers and healing. Messages of hope!

Forgiveness-shaking my mental Etch A Sketch every night.

Never believe it doesn’t matter. You are essential and the things you do matter!

Magic is elusive but you’ll find it!
