If you are feeling down

 When all else fails
ask God to show you
 how to be creative
how to make others smile
 to let you know your gifts
so you can use them
 to help others do

the same

Fall

I love fall. Fall and its ever present colors give me peace. I see things in colors and pictures and fall makes everything more vivid!
Thank you God for fall!

Try

No one ever said it would be easy
 to follow a dream
it may have up and downs
 and in betweens
but keep climbing
 the hill is not so high
just remember to
 TRY

Take Your Dreams With You

I wrote this in 2009, thought I would repost it.

Take Your Dreams With You

Follow your dreams

from your heart

out the window of

your mind

do what you

feel is your

purpose

don't leave the

dreams behind

ps- it is never too late!

Attitude of Blessings

Today, I am walking with an attitude of being thankful!
 I have noticed when I am walking in complete thankfulness,
God astounds me with his blessings!

 I am thankful for my wonderful family!

Happy Birthday Ellie

Time flies. I can't believe Ellie is about to turn 15. I remember like yesterday when she was born, c-section because she was breech. I remember her first work, "yum", her first pooty under an umbrella, how she was scared of any kind of face painted on a wall ANYWHERE we went. I remember how FUNNY she has always been and is still hilarious.  She has the perfect shaped bald baby head when she was born, people would stop me and tell me she was beautiful. Time flies.
 I love you Ellie. You have become such a sweet young lady and I love how you love God, family and friends.
 Happy Birthday!
