IT'S A BEAUTIFUL COOL DAY

So, the Birds are singing  and it is such a nice Fall feeling day in  Florida .  We took our dog, Micky in the golf cart for a ride and  you could feel the breeze blowing and seeing the squirels out gathering their winter food up.  I hope you are enjoying your day as well.
This morning I finished a piece of Crochet I had started and this is the results

 Made this for a Christmas gift for a nice lady.  When I am down and out, I can pick up my thread and needle and get into my own lil world.  I just block out all the negative so I try to do this every day.

Leaving you with this in mind-
Fall is just around the  bend.  Have a wonderful day.

IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY

The birds are singing and the sun is up so looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. 
Something for you to read:Quote:

Today may there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you. 

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us

 

God Bless you and your day

HUM--WONDER OF IT WILL WORK

REFRESHING !!
FAT FLUSH WAT...ER !!!

You should drink at least three 8 oz glasses per day, they say the longer it sits, the better it tastes. You can eat them as well but they are intended as flavoring and still work, so that is a personal choice. The Vitamin C turns fat into fuel, the tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, and the cucumber makes you feel full. Try it for 10 days and see what you think!

Ingredients per 8 oz serving

Water
1 slice grapefruit
1 tangerine
½ cucumber, sliced
2 peppermint leaves
Ice – as much as you like

Directions
Wash grapefruit, tangerine cucumber and peppermint leaves. Slice cucumber, grapefruit and tangerine (or peel). Combine all ingredients (fruits, vegetables, 8 oz water, and ice) into a large pitcher

Do you think this might work?  I have what they call the middle or should I say old age spread so think I might just try this.    Never hurts to try they say.
Beginning to rain here in sunny  Florida so will be a quiet day.  I hope you have a fun filled day yourself.

Love
Barb
