Never Limit Yourself

Never shut yourself in a box. 

Open the windows.

Open the doors.

All you've got to do now is soar.

It's a Choice

I choose to live a good life.  There are bad things that have happened during my life and I'm not blinded enough to believe that bad things won't happen.  However, I don't want to look at them as "bad".  I want to look a them as growth opportunities.  Can I stop something bad from happening?  At times, yes, depending on my actions.  On other occasions, it will be my reactions that determine an outcome.  Sometimes, there is simply no stopping whatever it is coming through the door.  No matter the circumstance, I can learn from it.  I can rejoice that lived it through it.  I can choose to be a happy survivor even when my life doesn't look anything like what I had planned when I was young.  I have no idea what today may hold for me but I am going to smile when I walk out the door and show the world it can't break me.  I am a warrior Princess and I'm not afraid to face anything the world throws at me.  I have faith.  I believe!

Are You a Lister?

I have lists going all the time.  Groceries, check.  Books I want to read, check.  Chores that need to be done, check.  Project that need completed, check.  And on they go.  I would feel naked without my many lists.  How about you?  Are you organized by your lists or do you toss everything in the air and handle things as they drop?  Either way is fine, as long as it works for you!

Stress Relief

Do you have your own adult coloring book?

I do. 

Have I ever colored in it?

No.

Do I need to?

Yes!

 

The above was me having a conversation with myself.  Feel free to join in whenever you like.  All my invisible friends have already joined the party!

Short People

 

 

I always knew the right explanation was out there!

Dear Mr. Postman

If I had a spider in my mailbox, I would want someone else to remove it so why not ask the most qualified person?  I wonder how he responded?  Is the spider still there?  If so, so is the mail!  Wishing you a wonderful start to the week.  Happy Monday.

Today's Forecast

You know you're in Florida when everything outside melts!

Welcome back Mom and Dad!

We are so happy to have you home safe and sound!

Well-Informed

I am picking my sanity over current events.

The world has gone crazy.

My sanity doesn't need to join it.

Less is more in my book.

Old Wood and Chicken Wire

I love the creativity here!  I may have to find an old ladder someplace.

Either that or distress the perfectly good ladder we have in the garage!

That probably won't fly very well.

Decorative Barn Doors

These barn doors are on an angle.  What do you think?

Personally, I love them! 

Serving on the Jury

This would be me in a jury box.

I would feel really bad for person on the stand!

It's better for everyone if I never have to serve.

Happy Monday!

Turn the World Around

I could not have said it better.  Love makes the world go round.

Right now - the world needs our help in order the change.

So this post is a call to action -

Go crazy and share your love everywhere that you can.

If we all join forces - we can make a difference.

 

 

Big Green Tractor

Just a little Friday humor!

Watch those tan lines and have a great day!

Lost

This is the best kind of book to read - one where you get totally immersed.

If you've read a book like this, please let me know.

I would love to read it and share it.

It's a Dory Day!

I'm facing a day like this today.

Tonight I may need a pizza - or a drink!

I'll let you know!

Have a nice Wednesday.

 

Reverse Advent Calendar

I know it's way too early to be thinking about Christmas but I thought this was a great idea.  If you start today, think of all the folks  you can help who are truly in need, especially around the holidays.  You could truly bless several families without having to invest in your gifts all at once.

After the Weekend

Actually, this is me on Monday morning! 

The weekends just aren't long enough to get everything done.

By Wednesday afternoon, I should be okay!

Air Bags

This made me laugh! 

After the last couple of weeks of life

 in America, that's a good thing.

Let's be good to one another. 

 

 

YouTube Training

Wow!  If YouTube can train my little guys, I need to get on board!

This puppy looks like he is studying hard.

Happy Friday!

Some Good Advice

No matter your mood, laughter always improves it.

So my good friends, laugh, laugh away!

(Though, I may want a better bra on when I'm jumping around like that!)

Awkward Moment

 

Mom - does this sound familiar?

I laughed when I saw it and remembered the plane tickets!

Happy Tuesday.

 

Celebrate

 

Today, celebrate our country, our freedom, and our soldiers.

Happy Independence Day!

 

Patriotic Crafting

Just in case you're looking for a patriotic craft, I thought this looked like fun.

You'll need clothes pins, paint and a glue gun.

Good luck and happy celebrating.

 

FYI

Have a blessed day.
