Therapy Thursday

Can I say I am Thankful?

Yes I can say that but I also can say that I was part of a Therapy program right now.

My mind races and when I feel like I have taken steps forward I find that I am going

backwards. 

Needless to say Thanksgiving came and went so fast! I stared this post before Thanksgiving

and now I am posting it afterwards. I am thankful for family! I was not able to be with my 

parents this year but I was able to see my son so I was happy for that. I enjoy going

and being with my husbands family but there is just something about me wanting to

be able to stay home one year and just to be able to have left overs. So this

year my dear hubby surprised me and made all the fixings this week.

 It was a nice treat and made the holiday feel like it wasn't over. 

It sadens me that for the most part Thanksgiving is just a one day eat fest. In

my heart its just so much more. Yes its a chance to eat all the good stuff and

be with family but for me its a special day just to be thankful too! I know we

are supposed to be Thankful each day anyways!  So Now the hussel and

bussel of the holiday season starts!  For me its a major craft time so this

is a nice break to remember to be Thankful! I am Thankful for the DEAR ones

that read this!

Remembering 9/11

So many tributes today.. So many lives that were changed. Choices. Delays that saved peoples lives.
I am a firm believer there is a reason for everything but a reason for all this suffering? NONE, JUST
PLAIN WRONG.... Will there be healing,  its been 10yrs, will people be able to feel differently
down the road? For some it feels just like yesterday and the time of 10yrs just doesn't seem right.
Life sure did change forever because of this day.


 For me 9/12/99 was a day that my life changed for ever. My youngest brother had a car accident and
passed away. My sadness is there each year and has been different each year.
So I guess it will be with so many of these people too.
 But we must go on and LIVE and make our lives for Purpose and make the difference
that Jesus would want us to do.

May those who have lost loved ones find Peace and we all find ways
to make GOOD shine in this world.

A Computer Crash

So last Monday I was off and then work decided to give me off for 3 whole days after too. So needless
to say with NO money I was home thinking allot and trying to use my time wisely. On the computer mostly
and I was thinking of changing my blog theme and using more pics and articles. Like maybe being more
creative. So I started brain storming and doing allot of searches. So by Wed. our lovely computer decided
it didn't like what I was doing on the Google sites and it decided to crash... Making me and my dear hubby
not very HAPPY at all..

Needless to say my hubby is very clever and cannot do without the computer so he somehow restored things.
All so far except the WORD files that I had stored.. AM sad about that. I had allot of tools and resource
articles that made me happy... But once again it made me think.. Not to be so dependant on the computer.
To have things stored in more than one place. And there is nothing like having things written on paper.
Its all a learning process.. And in all things to be content and calm.

A Change coming to a new season

So as I think of this summer coming to a change I think of the fun time of this past week and
also the time with my friend today.

I so enjoyed the time I had today with a dear friend of mine. We had some lunch and went to
a book store. In that time she showed me a calender she had. She knows how much I value
keeping track of time and writing everything down. Calenders are very important to me.
So as a new school year starts for her and for me a new season of having to find a new job or move to this new location in Sept. comes I wanted to mark this day as a new beginning. 
So I found the calender she had and just had to get it! It is a 3 yr pocket calender so that
will be nice to be able to have it for a while.. 

Seasons do change and its nice to look back on things from the past and also look positively to the
future.
What Am I hoping for:

1. A Job that provide better financial relief for our bills
2. Peace of mind in choices with our church
3. A change in my habits for weight loss
4. Details for Holiday season preparations
5. Better communication with family members

Keeping that list short for now but that is a TALL order with allot of WORK having to go into it.
May this be a beginning to this New season just seeing these!

Plans and choices

This summer is flying by and I feel like I am watching life just go by! I recently asked a co-worker what
she is doing for the weekend and she said to me in such a cheerful voice, "I have so many Plans and lots
of choices.. I said WOW your a lucky girl.. She told me then, LUCK has nothing to do with it I PLAN
my options ... I will not be just doing NOTHING, I can do THAT when I am dead... Which at first
made me REALLY MAD and THOUGHT what a smarty pants and that she was really into herself.

But now calmer I am glad she that to me. I will now look at my summer as yes to get my plans working.
We don't have money so my plans cant be the major attractions or a vacation but I can do free things!

So here is my start list:
1. Free swimming in the park.
2. Free Movies in the park.
3. Getting  a Movie at the Library.
4. Sitting in the park watching kids play.
5. Helping Mom with things she needs done.
6. Sitting with the neighbors having a baroque.
7. Riding my bike
8. Finally going to a Crocheting meeting.. (I have been so bad in not going)
9. Reading a good novel/ or Bible  in the park.
10. Starting my crochet projects for Christmas.. (yep it will be here before we know and Mittens I think is
going to take me longer.)

So That's my start of FREE things to do!

Treats of Cakes

Well I am day one of being 46.. Amazing how this year went by! I wish I would gathered and wrote
the lessons that I have learned from this year and put them in a book.. Maybe I will do that weekly
for next year..

I did allot of celebrating with cakes this year. (not intently)
Had a cake that was from a awesome bakery a shared  birthday family cake..
.. (strawberry and light whip cream) Which is the Pic show..
Had two cakes at work from my boss... (a blue berry bunt cake and peach one)
My neighbor baked a Dun kin Hines chocolate on chocolate.. YUMMY
And finally a cake at Music team practice that was chocolate moose..

So you can say in 4 days I have had allot of sugar.. OH boy!
But I do take Each day as a GIFT and I am thankful for each day!
It does feel really nice that I have wonderful family/friends who do
like to celebrate!

So off I go to make more memories and journal to learn new lessons!
