How Precious Life Is

I realized once again how time does fly by and how precious time can be.
Here are some recent reminders to me I am need to be thankful of life:

1. Projection from a recent trip on a train ride I had where a nun crashed into
us, delaying us but making it home safe.

2. My parents having two car cashes within a month.

3. A friend having a companion for 30yrs and after not hearing from
him for a month and then realizing that he had passed away.

4. The recent tv views of Hatti...

Those are first and foremost in my mind but I am sure there are many more that
happen everyday that just pass by without a thougt...

So what do I hope for is to take a moment just to be thankful for life and just Say How thankful I am to being able to appreicate life..

WEnt to the party and Starting out with a bang

Yes, its been a few days..
The creative juices are not in full gear yet.
But here is a poem to start the NEW Year!

We did go to a party this year and had a ball!
There was tons of shoes all in the hall!
Phase 10, dominoes, a toast,lots of talking!
In the mean time hubby and me are not good in area of walking.
He fell and here I am on the coach not feeling good.
So if we could start the year again I sure would.
But I am thankful for people in our life who help us along the way.
So I am going to be thankful that I just have today!

Count Down

Wow, Two more days! Trying to make the most of them!

Got a notice that my Library card will expire from a email notice... I visit quite often so for me that is not a good thing. So off I go to just say HI... Books are a great joy in my life. I read allot of self help books but I also lately have been reading bios of famous people.

I also found they have a Large print section. Sadly my eyes are not what they used to be so this has been great. Sadly I have read most of the ones that interest me.

One that I am going to look to see if they have is The Happiness Project by Gretchen
Rubin. She talks about her journey but also gives some tips on how she started a blog.

So that is one of my Hopes for today!

Preparing For the New Year

HI,

A start to my new adventure! I always have been a person who likes to journal so I thought
I would give this a attempt and see how it goes.. Preparing for 2010 I always would do a
year review and do goals look at old ones. I have now created a bucket list and look at it often.
I always seem to ask myself What are you hoping for so I thought that was a good title for the
start of this blog... I am sure I will change over this year and will grow in developing into this
blog..
I have just finished my annual craft project of crocheting 26 scarfs for the family.. (last year it
was Hats) This year I was smart and took a pic for the memory of my sore shoulders.. I have
also thought of now starting a new tradition of taking a pic of the family gathering and making
a card to send out after the New year.. Thus the pic..
May we all Find what we hope for this year!!
