No limits

No limits........ Do you remember when you REALLY thought you could do anything? Not because it was possible or impossible, but just because you were too innocent to know any different. What changed? Mostly what you were TOLD or taught. … [Read more...]

That morning…

The pain of yesterday makes life sooo much SWEETER today!

  Almost exactly on this day a few years ago, this early edition of "Happy Friday" went to a very small mailing list. Very small. They were people I knew, who knew me and my situations/story well.  I was not in the best place in a lot of areas in my life, but I was growing and learning … [Read more...]

Be Of Value

be of value

It’s been a few weeks.  Sickness then a hurricane to blame.  But Friday’s are Happy again! I read one of the most interesting relationship posts I’ve read recently.  The fact that it was written by a young man also made it powerful.  Often women give women advice, but really as relates … [Read more...]

Telling Myself the Truth

truth magnifying glass

We present ourselves to the world every day in many ways. In person: at work, school, with family; online and in various ways through our phones. What we present is usually a much more "put together" appearance/version of our true selves. Think about it...and then ask yourself, stripped of all … [Read more...]

Oil worth the cost

alabaster tweets

Thinking about some things, I was feeling particularly blessed last night and almost instinctively logged on to twitter to express that.  {not that that's a good thing!}  A gentleman I follow was tweeting some words to a song that I LOVE! He was letting the world know that they should not be … [Read more...]

Always Wear Sunscreen!

    If we had only taken the advice those more experienced tried to give us many many years ago!  Like they say if you don't hear you will feel!  Every so often, I play this speech to remind me that there is wisdom in experience and that some of the things I get overwhelmed … [Read more...]

Even The Birds

seagull

Eating at the beach this week, a friend and I watched in amazement at how the seagulls seemed to fly/levitate perfectly near a car’s window to catch the food that a lady was throwing out to them. We sat and talked and laughed and were just being really thankful for that moment. We have both … [Read more...]

Let Go!

You gone hurt your back......draggin all them bags like that ~Bag Lady, Erykah Badu

Apparently I still have a 3 piece luggage set I completely forgot. How do you not know this stuff is in your closet?  I had to ask myself where it came from over and over, trying to remember when I took this on and why I hadn’t given it away or gotten rid of it before now.  I have moved … [Read more...]

76 years old

My beautiful grandmother! Celebrate what will count at 76 years old.

    My grandmother left (me here) for thanksgiving and she called to tell me that she left a cook out ticket for me and ask me if I needed anything.    Later that night skyping with a friend she talked about how much she “hated” someone 15 years ago…..and now, it’s … [Read more...]

My New Shoes

my new shoes

How many times do we as adults think of God this way?  As if we have to wait to go to Him on Sunday or after we have gone to a quiet, private place?   God is everywhere, He is in us.  We do not have to go to a special building, wait to hear from a particular person or beg Him to “come … [Read more...]
