Tuesday SOLSC - 1/7/14 - OLW for 2014 - Embrace

 I've been waiting and searching for my OLW for 2014 and as many of you have said, "it just seemed to find me".  I thought I had my word and then this one appeared on another blog and my "Aha" moment hit me.

I thought that's what I want to do with my life in 2014 - to embrace it fully.

By definition embrace means:  1) clasp in the arms - hug, cherish, encircle, enclose; 2) to take up readily or gladly - to welcome; 3) to take in (an opportunity).

And so, this year I plan to be more diligent at looking for those people, opportunities, and challenges that I can embrace and hold close.  I've always been a hugger and I hope with the skill already in place, I can look for more ways to embrace my life's happenings this year.

This quote was also on Sheila's BookJourney blog and I thought it very appropriate.

    Embrace is a beautiful word for the year. I think this is a powerful word. There will be natural times where embrace fits just right. I think the challenge will come when there will be a time when embrace is far from your mind, but reminding yourself to embrace the situation, the frustrating moment, difficult person, and so on. Looking forward to hearing how you embrace this year. Love you Mom!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
