Tuesday SOL - 7/26/16 - Feeling Grateful & Blessed

So often in my life, I often take so many of my blessings for granted.  Today I thought I list some of many "people/things" that make my life so rich.

My Hubby 
My Children
My Granddaughters
My Parents
My Many friends
My Prayer Group
My Church Family
This community of writers
The people who I come in contact with each day
The volunteers at the Center of Hope
Max, our faithful pooch

And then, there are the "things" that make my life easier & enjoyable

Our home
Food to eat and share
Air conditioning & fans
Vehicles to take us place
Washer, dryer & dishwasher
Caller ID
Our backyard critters
Money in the bank to pay the bills
Music
Crafts
Books
Memories

The list is endless.  God has blessed me and continues to bless me each day.  What people/things are you grateful for today?

    Our lives are so rich, but we rarely stop to appreciate what we have (except for Thanksgiving). This is something we all need to do, step back and appreciate what we have. You are blessed!

    It's good to count your blessings, Judy. I feel fortunate to have good things in my life, too. You've made me remember that old song "Sunshine on my Shoulders, Makes me happy" by John Denver.

    What a wonderful list. We all need to take time to count our blessings. I know we would be amazed by all that we do have.

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

Tuesday SOL - 1/13/15 - Trying "To Do" Retired

Image
Last week was my "first" week of RETIRED.  Humm.... just what does that mean? I can't say that it felt any different.  We just got back from being out of town for 10 days, so it was catch up time.  Picking up Max, unpacking, doing laundry, cleaning up the dead lady bugs that had accumulated on the floor, grocery shopping, mail...  The list seemed endless - retired???? Then a voice mail saying my aunt was in the hospital in Florida.  Many calls trying to figure out what was happening.  Many more calls checking up on her on a daily basis.  Thinks are improving. Now this week, things are slowing down, but how do I wrap my head around being retired?  How do I stop my brain from making my mental "to do list" of things that HAVE to be accomplished?  How do I decide what I REALLY want to do as opposed to what NEEDS to be done and when?  How do I answer people when they ask "what are you going to do now that you're retired?" This is go...
