SUNDAY BLESSINGS

"because he bends 

down to listen,

I will pray as long as I have

breath~"

Psalms 116:2

(new living translation)

Good Morning to everyone,

Wishing you a great day, a day to relax and let the ole body rest.  Today I will do some crocheting and a do nothing else day.  

I wanted to go for a long walk, but, seeing so much frost bitten plants and trees I decided to not go as it just makes me want Spring to hurry and come in.  Nothing like seeing and smelling the Roses and all the beautiful trees and flowers that Floreida has.

Make this a good day, give someone a Smile and enjoy your time.

IS IT FRIDAY ALREADY?

welcome to Friday in sunny Florida.  It is still rather cold out but hopefully tomorrow will be a nice sunny day with the temps in the 50's.  I am so ready for spring to make its way and this I don't usually say as I love the Winters but this year has been a terrible one.  The Orange trees look as if the coild has done them in and I hope not as they were so big and full this year.  Time will tell I guess.

I am trying so hard to get back to my ole self back but I sure am having a hard time of it.  Do you think it might be called ole age?  Someone told me to get my ump back drink a glass of wine a day so I am doing just that, but, where is the ump?  I haven't found it yet.

well, the birds are singing so it might be nice out and I will go take a walk to see what all the cold has killed around our place.  You have a nice day and maybe tomorrow the ump in my step will return and I will feel like blogging.

Sweet dreams

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

Good Morning to my great friends, I hope this finds you well and happy on this Super Bowl Sunday.  Do you celebrate this event?  Nope, I don't but I do watch it if a team is playing that I like.  I do like Denver so will watch while crocheting.  

I am still feeling down and just can't seem to pull myself up like I should be.  I think the stress of all my Daughter is going through is the reason but what is a Mother to do when her Children are hurting.  I just pray and try to put it into Gods hands but just feel so helpless.  Oh well, this too shall pass.

Raining her today so for sure a stay inside day.  I am working on a crochet project and aboulf half way with it.  So much time and days go into this art but in the end it is so worth it.  

Wishing you all a nice day, stay warm, safe and most of all happy.

SNOW IN SUNNY FLORIDA

Hello my Dear Friends,

Well, snow is on the way to sunny Florida.  The next 3 days will be a hard freeze so guess what, my bottom is staying inside except to build my snowman .  I am so excited.  I have been away for awhile with my Blog as my mind is just that, blogged.  Lol, did I say that right.  Sometimes things just happen in life that can sure throw you for a loop but slowly making my way back.

Wishing you a great day, I'll be back soon.

HELLO FROM CHILLY FLORIDA

It's me wishing you a nice Wednesday afternoon.  Begining to get really cold here again, our low tonight 25 so burrrrr that is cold.  We have such pretty days that I feel as if Spring is almost here then look out, ole man winter decides to return once again.  

I have been sorta down lately and just not feeling up to doing my Blog.  My mind is so overloaded with , what is that word, "STRESS" that I can't think of what to post.  Don't want to load all my troubles on ya.  

Maybe by the weekend I will feel more up to doing this so until then, stay warm and smile.

A FUNNY FOR THE DAY

Aging Gracefully

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker
came up to the very elderly widow and asked,
"How old was your husband?" "98," she replied.
"Two years older than me"
"So you're 96," the undertaker commented.
She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it? 

I've sure gotten old!
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes
I'm half blind,
can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia.
Have poor circulation;
hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,
I still have my driver's license.

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Know how to prevent sagging?
Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.

It's scary when you start making the same noises
as your coffee maker. 

These days about half the stuff
in my shopping cart says,
"For fast relief."


THE SENILITY PRAYER :
Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
the eyesight to tell the difference.

Always Remember This:
You don't stop laughing because you grow old,
You grow old because you stop laughing.

So cold here in sunny Florida, Everyone, stay warm, safe and enjoy your day.

WELCOME TO 2014

"He who marvels at the beauty

 of the world in summer 

will find equal cause for wonder

 and admiration in winter.... 

In winter the stars seem to

 have rekindled their fires, 

the moon achieves a fuller triumph, 

and the heavens wear a look 

of a more exalted simplicity."

 ~John Burroughs, 

"The Snow-Walkers," 1866
