SOL 26/31 - Be Grateful




Be grateful 
for every second of every day 
that you get to spend with the ones you love.  
Life is very precious.

 As I sat looking around the table last night at MY family
 
 talking
sharing opinions
agreeing
 disagreeing
smiling
laughing
listening

I thought "How blessed I am to be surrounded by MY family.
I have a wonderful son and daughter-in-law, a thoughtful daughter and son-in-law, two precious granddaughters and a loving, caring husband. 

Yesterday we celebrated (again) our anniversary, today we celebrate Michelle's birthday (early), tomorrow we celebrate Easter.

I saw the quote above on Facebook this morning and thought to myself, "yes, life is so precious and passes so quickly, we need to savor each and every moment".

So I share to each of you 


Be grateful 
for every second of every day 
that you get to spend with the ones you love.  
Life is very precious.

    You are living a dream that has been richly blessed. Great reminder because sometimes we get so caught up in what's not right, we don't appreciate the goodness that surrounds us every single day.

    Well said Judy, well said! Even when life throws us a curve, we must stay positive and be grateful for what we have...because it could always be worse! Happy Easter to you and your family!

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
