What a beautiful day!

Spring brings such beautiful days with it here in Michigan. Praying for all the southern states as they deal with the devastation for the storms they have gone through. Reach out to someone today and give them some support if not financially - prayfully! 343 220

Spring!

Thu, 12 May 2011 09:42:20 EST

Oh, what energy spring brings with it. We have had a couple beautiful days and spring rain over night. I love new life that comes with the season. The dandelion bouquets my little granddaughters pick and think they've given me the greatest gift of all. Little do they know the really did.
Today will be set aside for flower gardens. Can't wait to get out and plant my impatients.

Be a blessing

Be a blessing to someone else today! If doesn't take much to compliment someone or just even smile and say "Hi". Someone may be having a really bad day and a little kindness from you just might lift their spirits enough to motivate them to see things in a more positive light. That's my goal today, I'm going to try to be a blessing to someone! 30

Spring!

At the beginning of Spring my husband (especially) an myself are busy producing Maple Syrup. We tap the trees in late Feb. to early March. The season runs anywhere form 2 to 5 weeks. It all depends on the weather. It needs to freeze at night and be in the 40's during the day to make the sap run. This year was a great year for us. It takes 40-50 gallons of raw sap to make a gallon of syrup. We ended up with 68 finished gallons. That's a lot of sap to boil into syrup!
It always p...

A sunny winter day!

Mon, 7 Feb 2011 12:12:44 EST

Oh, the sun shine after the blizzard! What a beautiful day God has blessed us with once again. Today is another start over day with exercise for me. Seems like I go good for a few days then skip several. So here I go again. I understand this happens but it is frustrating that I can't seem to stay motivated. So here's to starting again. It's going to be a good day! 216 319

Oh, Boy what a day!

Wed, 2 Feb 2011 12:29:28 EST

What a day today has been so far. Got my exercise by shoveling snow for over an hour. I had two 4 and 1/2 foot drifts to work my way through! Michigan is a winter wonderland that's for sure. I think it will take days for some to dig themselves out. So today is a day to be a blessing to someone else in need. Reach out and help an neighbor - it's good exercise and mental therapy! 310

A new day!

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 10:50:56 EST

This is a new day! A day for thinking and meditating on having a more positive attitude. I tend to let things get to me and take the weight of many things on my shoulders. I am going to try hard to keep things in perspective and learn from my experiences. 252

Fall and the 30 minute activity!

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:05:00 EST

One of my favorite things about fall is all the many colors. The flowers in my yard are so filled out this time of year and look so beautiful. My grand daughter and I had been for our 40 minute walk when we came back to the yard she wanted to see the flowers. So when I see her and all the pretty flowers it makes me think about God's creation not only this little girl but the many colors He paints our landscapes with. How lucky we are! We need to take advantage of all the beauty we have a...

Emotional Eating

I tend to do some Emotional eating when I'm bored, lonely, sad and down on the dumps. I need to promise myself I'll find something else to do instead of eat!
