Living Life Beautifully

It's been a while.... Good morning. My brain has been on overdrive for a while.  I'm needing to get back to the important things. So...I thought I would post on my blog. Now...if I can do this without interruption...I will stay focused and it will go well. Isn't it funny how someone walking into the room or the cat having a scratching fit behind you can totally mess up your train of thought.  I can't imagine working in a busy noisy office. My mind can't do that much at one time.  Lol. I work on a computer that sits at my desk.  The desk is from my childhood and is covered in lace. shocking! On the desk is little stuff that tells a story.... a rock, a mirror, a fidget spinner, a lace runner from a friend. I have a vision board on the wall in front of me with all kinds of little things....gifts from Mary, tiny cat figurines, flowers from a friend dried upside down, my nephews ashes in a necklace, (I have a pink hot wheels toilet truck that my son bought me...

Blogging...2018. It feels like it's been forever since I've blogged or even spent more than a few minutes on this computer. My mind is always thinking.  I need to slow down enough to spend time journaling or blogging. I used to journal every day but I just don't have all the issues I used to journal about.  That is a really good thing.  I can talk about things without getting unhappy.  I have no expectations, so every day is good and a blessing.  Especially if you look for the blessings.

They sound so gross crawling around in that tote.  So awesome!!!! My garden is planted and yet both of my strawberries were eaten by the neighbor chickens. Ugh. It's going to look so pretty when everything is growing. I can truly say I am the most peaceful I have been in years. God is good! Easter is Sunday. ...

It's a beautiful cold day.  Freezing temperatures are challenging me to keep plants alive in the garden and water thawed for the chickens.  Yet, Gertie the duck swims in her little pond even in the cold. I have a duck in the bathroom and two frizzle babies in a cage next to the duck. The wood stove is cranked and Harry Potter, movie number 3, is playing on the DVD player. My Son Taylor will be home from Italy this week and I'm thrilled about that. Gracie our new puppy is still a cutie although is proving to be a challenge to potty train due to excited tinkles. But Brinkley is being a great big brother, helping me to teach Gracie, and peanut is being peanut.  The mailman didn't seemed too happy when he asked me if I got a new puppy.  Poor guy. My dogs bark at him like they are going to eat him. It is a new year.  A blessing, a fresh start, incentive to improve.....and yet the bible says "EVERY DAY" is new.  Try not to put all your hopes into an entire...
