SOLSC 3/28/14 - Embracing Each Moment

Today (and every day) I'm embracing each moment...

Sunshine after the rain
   Smiles after the tears
Hugs and kisses, just because
   Listening and watching
Helping and teaching
  Reading and being read to
Time to enjoy
  Time for fun
Time to spend with family
  Quiet time to reflect
Anticipation - what will happen next?

    I am all for living in the moment. What's has passed can't be change. What's in the future will take care of itself when it gets here. What we do now is what is important. Enjoy the moment.

    Beautiful poem. That's what I'm trying to do - live in THIS moment. But life can get bombarded by everything else ... but I need to see through the cloud of confusion and focus on THIS moment. Thank you for always reminding me.

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 - 9/25/12 - A New Beginning for a Special Couple

Image
Several weeks ago we were invited to a wedding for two very dear friends.  What a special occasion it was!  This is the second marriage for both of them and they are in their early 70's.  But, before telling you about the wedding, you need to know "the rest of the story". Jeannie's husband died about 10 years ago from heart related problems.  Several years after his death, she was involved in a terrible automobile accident and was never expected to walk again.  But through sheer determination (and the help of God) she walks without the aid of crutches.  At this point she really didn't have God in her life and I'm not sure at what point she found God (or more than likely, God found her).  She always asked God to find her that special man who had faith, was kind, had a great sense of humor and who loved her. Along came Richard.  His wife died about 5 years ago, also to heart related problems.  They "knew" each other through church, Bible ...
