focusing on feelings leaves my heart reeling and my goal becomes a far distant dream but when I instead plan each step ahead the destination’s not as far as it seems I had an “aha” moment this morning. Yeah, that happens occasionally- but not as often as I’d like 🙂 I really wanted to […]
making old things new let the vintage shine through cleaned up to perfection for the clarity of my reflection This past week, my hubby went with me to pick up a few of my granny’s things- a couple of dressers and her china set. It’s hard to believe my granny passed away over three years […]
My husband and I were inspired to write a song parody about our dogs and their love affair for food. From the moment I wake up they are following me around, waiting for their next meal. I think if you have a fur baby, you can relate 😉 Hope you enjoy! “Right Here Waiting For […]
Isn’t it funny how some days don’t seem to start off on the right foot…and then by the end of the day, you look back and see how it was one of the very best days? I woke up one day with a feeling of dread. There were several things I had to do, and […]
I’m a little weird, I guess. Because I absolutely LOVE rainy days… and Mondays, too! Mondays are my favorites because I am usually at home alone- which means I can get so much done!

the place where I can wear my hair up in a messy bun the place where doggies blissfully “happy dance” under the sun the place where I can look around and see love in a frame family pictures scattered ’round showing just how far we came I sort of feel like Dorthy in Oz- “there’s […]
O God, inspire our morning hymn Of love and gratitude; Oh, bless the sacrifice we bring, Thou Source of every good. Thy miracle of love so sweet Preserved us all secure; While helpless in unconscious sleep, Thy presence kept us pure. ’Tis blest to rise, O Lord, and join With nature’s minstrelsy; To hymn Thy […]
That expression makes me crack up. Because when I usually hear it- it is said sarcastically… you know- like when you are cleaning up after your baby’s diaper “blow-out”…. or when your kiddos forget their school projects at home and you’ve gotta change around your morning to come to their rescue. But I […]
