<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello from my neck of the woods.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where has the last six months gone.?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A busy time for someone whom has a Sleep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Disorder. Only so many hours in the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to make the most of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am waiting anxiously for Spring to arrive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I can get out in my yard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am even going to plant a garden this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just have to figure out what and where.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what have I been doing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Started painting again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did this one at a Paint Night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which was a lot of fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have been busy painting and really having fun with it again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that when it was really cold here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got addicted to Shomi,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
watched lots of movies and Sons of Anarchy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talk about becoming a couch potato.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also watched the season of Transparency</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and would recommend it to anyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very nicely done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2015 has brought a new year of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
focus on loving one another,not sweating the small stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and focusing on how truly blessed we are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope this finds you all happy and healthy,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
know that I have missed everyone and that you have been thought about often.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have your very best day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we did not hire </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a young contractor</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
whom could sell ice cubes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in a snow storm..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just maybe we would have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a complete shed by now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is too hot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
too cold. raining,sunshine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
getting bit by something in his shower,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maybe a spider, not sure, went down the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
drain, his cousin had a turantula ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no shoes to fit, tried on 60 pair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he said,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but for sure he will be here in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure what time zone he is in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or how many hours in his day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
definately not 24.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Morning comes, the sun goes down,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Little Mr. Contractor</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no where to be found.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when will you learn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
does'nt come to mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe a new Contractor</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we will have to find!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Life Really Has Been Wonderful Lately!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been an extremely busy summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My nieces husband has finally moved from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mexico. It has been such a process to have all his</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paperwork approved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His brother and brothers wife have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
both won scholorships to continue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
their Majors in Physics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They really are three of the nicest people I have ever met.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must say that their English is way better than my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spanish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That will be a job for me this winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent two weeks recently with some family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So good to see everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt so much love around me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still had to stick to my schedule due to my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cataplexy. Overall I did not too bad,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even managed my way down a flight of stairs,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shocked the family when I showed up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were all playing some card game</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and were hooting and hollering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just had to go and see what the youngsters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
were up to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of them were like</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aunt Cindy we can help you up the stairs when I was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ready to go up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I told them all to sit there behinds down</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and if I needed them I would call them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was nice to get back home after twelve</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
days away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even have managed to lose twenty three pounds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just by eating more fruit and veggies, and drinking water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a friend that phones me once a week and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we chat about how I did and how she did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has gone from a size 26 to a 14 in less than 4 months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are both feeling like it is so easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only word we mention is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lifestyle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other highlights have been hummingbirds, yellow finches,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and squirrels in my yard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all a first and they keep me quite entertained.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Repairs continue to be done to the house,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am grateful that Wain and I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't need any repairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is so precious and such a gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan to have my Very Best Life Ever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking forward to being on here more,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also am in the process of writing a book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No details yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Almost eleven at night,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the robins are still singing in the yard,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and one neighbor has just finished cutting their lawn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is dark out there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was hubbies 62nd birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went out for supper. The table next to us had</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the three cutest ladies all in their eighties.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were sisters and were celebrating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
getting together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of them told us they were going to party</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
until the sun came up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we were home in bed by nine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for the week has brought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
us quickly into house repairs due to a leaking window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is going to be a busy weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank goodness Wain is off work for three days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you are all enjoying life,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
until next time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have Your Very Best Days!</div>

Hello again,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more days have passed than I care to admit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am thankful for the thunderstorm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that rolled in actually causing me to get</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
out of my yard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must say it is looking lovely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rain brings a freshness and now the sun</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the evening, birds singing in the distance,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the chatter of squirrels running through the trees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately I have been so at peace or content.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is it the same thing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nature has a way of doing that for me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
somehow I have found my way into</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a less stress free zone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It feels good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Health wise I am not as good as I want to be,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but better than I have been.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May you Have Your Best Day Ever!</div>

Hello one and all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have decided that I am the worst blogger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do have a new laptop so am very excited to try</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Windows Eight is all new to me so please be patient with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
almost five weeks after my surgery and I am recovering nicely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day weather was plus 16, it was beautiful</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I actually got too much sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still have snow in the yard but all signs of spring are a go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this makes for a very happy girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is busy trying to gain my strength back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My niece came for a visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I asked her to cut my hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is a registered Nurse, she said no I have never cut</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on anyone. With a little encouragement she did a great job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then she highlighted my hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then she helped me set up my laptop,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thank the stars above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She did say at one point,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aunt Cindy you have to focus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I said I am, this is me being focused.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The more she wanted me to focus the more silly I became</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
until I got the giggles and started having</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my Cataplexy episodes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so then Nurse Niece put me to bed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and said we would focus better in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so lucky to have her in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hubby basically let us have our girl time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is nothing like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My niece left after 4 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She will see me again in May and that if I </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
want another haircut</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had best buy a damn good pair of scissors!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope all is well in your life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that you have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your Best Day Ever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I have cherished in my life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are the friendships that I have made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watching my dog and cat together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
makes me laugh at how determined</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they have been to not get along,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but slowly they are becoming fast friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was surprised to see them sitting this close.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made a real effort to be more social</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
again. It has been a wonderful feeling!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thank all of you for the friendships</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we have formed here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your in my thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have Your Best Days!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all Thank you so much for the kind messages on my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
last post. You are all so kind and I want to start off by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wishing everyone A Happy 2014!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things that Have Happened Since I Last Posted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband and I had the shock of our lives</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on December 12th when his lottery ticket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
won on the Extra and we won</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one hundred thousand dollars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe that we were besides ourselves,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we have never considered ourselves lucky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when it comes to finances,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially since I became ill in 2003,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there had been some really tough</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
times which I never focused on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because we always knew we would be okay no matter what</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because we had each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember once saying to my husband,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What would happen if we became homeless,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he said he would always have me a big cardboard house,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that is as far as our discussions would go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Mother in Law asked me today what we bought with our money,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought a new pair of glasses....they are Purple and I love them,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I can see. My last pair was eight years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hubby bought me a new CPAP machine that I wear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at night for sleep Apnea. I am sleeping so much better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently my old one was on the Fritz!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what does my husband buy for himself,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He comes home with a toilet seat that goes down on its own,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he feels like a king.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He put it on and said Honey you got to come see this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You should have seen his smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.....Otherwise we have been sensible,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paid off all Credit Cards, put money on mortgage,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
RRSP'S .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a stress reliever,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we have learned lessons to in this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
..............</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I contemplated about telling others about our happiness,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it reinforces everything I believe in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that no matter how bad things can be or are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to always try to Have Our Very Best Days,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no one never knows what is ahead or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
around the corner or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what is planned for us next.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy, believe, and Have Faith,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we never thought we would ever win anything,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because we never had before, and when we did,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it took us almost two weeks to believe it was actually true!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were also glad that it was not a huge huge prize,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I don't think we would have been able to handle it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What would you do if you ever won!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wain always said he would call me from the airport</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to call and say goodbye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We would laugh,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we both have such a strange sense of humor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope this finds you all well,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and thank you to everyone whom sent me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas and New Years cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Replies will be sent soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hugs to all,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have decided I will just show up here when I can!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No pressure,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love visiting with everyone in blog land for sure,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but find that what I want to write does not seem to come,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as if my thoughts and feelings are on their own little roller coaster ride.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had the coldest of weather, opportunities to sit under a blanket</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
drinking coffee, reading a book, or watching a movie with my</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cat and dog beside me, all of us waiting for my husband to come home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are the welcoming committee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are always so glad to see him at night when he arrives!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Christmas decorations are up, we only decorated our mantel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this year, and I made a vase with lights and some flowers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where we will put our few packages beside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did not go all out due to the puppy,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he is getting better but when you least expect it,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he finds something new to test us, or the opportunity</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for us to continue on with training.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My house looks more bare every day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't stress, I just am calm and believe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he is helping to declutter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find that I am very content this December,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know how precious a life is, and how grateful</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am for mine. I realize that every moment, every time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you wake up, each day is a gift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My friend whom has terminal cancer is such an inspiration,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her determination, spunk, joy for everyday, she continues on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as if nothing has changed, she is prepared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that is what I want to make every effort to live the very best</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can, not with limitations, but to the best of my ability!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And when I have needed help I have learned to ask!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I have learned to give.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life is good, I have my hope and my Faith!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case I am not back here before Christmas,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or whatever holiday you celebrate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
May your home be filled with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peace, Love, Health, Hope, and Happiness,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cindy</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom did not have time to edit any pictures,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but she did want to post something positive here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqB5kcnmD5fVGYgGqGjj83E50HHwJiHkUp7yZsdnjMxefnV1bRtkPBvgmNfUH20VoH7FOdNWqEjruZZP0zWFu7nl7AdaLgsH4sQx4JqVEHUQZmY3ipKls08WrReiZxnLOfQrDUTLgRdQU/s1600/benny+064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqB5kcnmD5fVGYgGqGjj83E50HHwJiHkUp7yZsdnjMxefnV1bRtkPBvgmNfUH20VoH7FOdNWqEjruZZP0zWFu7nl7AdaLgsH4sQx4JqVEHUQZmY3ipKls08WrReiZxnLOfQrDUTLgRdQU/s320/benny+064.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She says she is positive that I am not supposed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be on the couch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj10Tk3SRJ7_3Ks9GV_LL3xKNGnK58hcsJfLEy3z7PCqoA8hTLFRethtebN0_aqVbgJ_x5HfdNoPw7v4CzRla28SZPkCLsLjXZ7veL2f6prx2K8ihRlO8uyLT5aoLS8U9bjEwz9lRODeU/s1600/benny+061.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj10Tk3SRJ7_3Ks9GV_LL3xKNGnK58hcsJfLEy3z7PCqoA8hTLFRethtebN0_aqVbgJ_x5HfdNoPw7v4CzRla28SZPkCLsLjXZ7veL2f6prx2K8ihRlO8uyLT5aoLS8U9bjEwz9lRODeU/s320/benny+061.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and she is positive that I am not supposed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to chase the cat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She also thinks that if I am not making eye contact,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I may have done something that I was not supposed to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am just trying to be invisible, but she does not quite</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
understand that one yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fPaWZat6TrZTq9z2q5OB5z3vZz7d5UNHqa-fk7VVnj3vxl32h1VfgqkMw0RO0xajFxBKGeTsd8eB6XAMOKGGyEMHnnlpuOPjD8aELlFWkz-rDgDOMiySe8lQMZ1tDczoS14-4mAgGJs/s1600/benny+052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fPaWZat6TrZTq9z2q5OB5z3vZz7d5UNHqa-fk7VVnj3vxl32h1VfgqkMw0RO0xajFxBKGeTsd8eB6XAMOKGGyEMHnnlpuOPjD8aELlFWkz-rDgDOMiySe8lQMZ1tDczoS14-4mAgGJs/s320/benny+052.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are both positive that I can sleep just as much</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as Mom.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but best of all</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know she loves me as much</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I love her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I found my forever home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
oh gotta go </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hear Dad driving down the road</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...............</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh yeah I passed my Feisty Fido class,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I fooled them all,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
apparently I am supposed to behave</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not even one yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
crash, bang,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BEEEENNNNNNEEEEYYY!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I look to the heavens,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
searching for an answer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
why things happen the way they do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What purpose is a little girl of eight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to lose her mother.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She sat their holding her mothers hand,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tears streaming down her tiny face,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
too young to understand,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No she won't wake up,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has gone to heaven to be with Grandma.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little girl in the last few days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
has moved in with her Aunt,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
changed schools, said goodbye to friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
changed cities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look to the heavens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
searching for an answer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wonder why I feel angry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know Anette is smiling down at her daughter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and her sister. She was all about heaven and Faith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had come through brain surgery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with flying colors almost a month ago,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had a severe headache and died 3 days ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look to the heavens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and pray for understanding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pray for this little girl that she will continue to be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
,,,,,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anette,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never ever knew you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
except through your sister and mine,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel the loss,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and am so saddened that you were taken</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from Kayanna so early.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will remember our communication on facebook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I look to the heavens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will smile and remember you and your Mom,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for Shannon's love for you both</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is so strong,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that you will never be forgotten.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that sometimes I feel like I have not had time to think,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which is rather silly because I do have so much time alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Turning 50 has been awesome for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love being fifty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how peaceful and happy I feel about my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the last two months I have known</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
nine people that have passed away,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mostly taken by Cancer of one form or another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my dearest friends is facing it right now,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she is 87 and is facing everything with such</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
grace and dignity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I told her one day that I wished I had</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the right words to say to her, and she</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
said the best thing I could do</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was to just listen and hold</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her hand, that I was doing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
everything right!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it is common to feel helpless at times like this,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I am also determined, determined that I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
am going to live the very best life I can,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and that I am going to do everything</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have ever hoped to do,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and hopefully I will have someone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
whom finds my stories as interesting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I have found hers over the years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And through our stories,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
each and everyone of us</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will all live on,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
no matter at what age</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we are taken home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
............</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not write this to make </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyone sad, I just felt the need</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to get this off my chest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want you to enjoy your weekend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and live the very best days you can.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take care,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love playing around with fotofunia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You might want to try it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can make some really cool pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
,,,,,,,,,,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So all of this week has been cold, raining</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and feels like, no I am not saying it yet,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the white flurries may show up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To me it seems early.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
,,,,,,,,,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So Benny the Beagle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
loves to be outside and it is a job to get him in the house,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
today I see him out in my pots</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
digging in the dirt, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was in the house a few times,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it is like a wrestling match to get him cleaned up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I swear I still have mud on the walls in the back porch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So tonight after supper Wain is going to go play with Benny</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then bring him in the house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was tired so I just laid on the bed on the comforter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can hear barking going on outside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next thing Wain is in the doorway of the bedroom,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He says, "That dog is a piece of work,"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I say, "What's wrong?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He says, "Well he stole my shoe, and then he took</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the cloth I was trying to clean him with, and it is too dark</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to find my shoe!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was so annoyed and I started to laugh</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I am visualizing this in my head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing about laughter, others will usually join you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So Wain started laughing too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And all was good in our world again,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note for tomorrow, look for his shoe,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and be ready every time Benny comes in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note for tonight, Pray for some sun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have any crazy dog stories to tell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would love to hear them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a great day!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have come back yet once again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately I have really been feeling the urge to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sit back and write again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what has been going on,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just turned 50 years old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like it is an exciting time in my life,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need no approval from anyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is a great feeling, because I had really felt that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
most of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what does this mean...maybe I have grown up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have gone through a real spiritual growth period for me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess losing people that you care for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will do that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes one realize that all of the little things</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that one tends to fret or worry about,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is not necessary nor is it healthy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One needs to live their live and enjoy it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the best they can by surrounding </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yourself with people you love, and those that love you back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If someone sucks the life out of you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
probably not someone you need in your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So during this growing period</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went and stayed at my sisters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and spent a lot of time in the yard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is beautiful I must say.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6LD2PAPGVogOW8cPKs0OaqKoiJyEm0Vj_El4m16btbQHKrhQdNqSVxakmS9xb50wFeaefhU8hLwOVXXdu2QPbsmwh8zrzAYgUpEg09PNNdZcUXF-RBz4QfkbBPj7UIy8uK0sZV_Z3vk/s1600/calgary+2012+012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6LD2PAPGVogOW8cPKs0OaqKoiJyEm0Vj_El4m16btbQHKrhQdNqSVxakmS9xb50wFeaefhU8hLwOVXXdu2QPbsmwh8zrzAYgUpEg09PNNdZcUXF-RBz4QfkbBPj7UIy8uK0sZV_Z3vk/s400/calgary+2012+012.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sister and I made our way down </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by the flooding where we used to walk the dogs,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was truly amazing to see how the river had changed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The huge trees that were ripped from the ground, and the piles of rocks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that had changed how things looked before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could still see how far the water had made it up on the banks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Absolutely Amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a lot of fun with my little Mom,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She can be so much fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We can laugh and laugh until we cry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mom, my sister a friend and I all went to see a </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tribute to Johnny Cash..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure why this picture loaded sideways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was awesome, I was surprised at how many songs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew. I love watching my Mom. She just loves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
music and sings and sings and has so much fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have fun just watching her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rest of the summer was spent at home,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
getting a puppy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0h0wROy2_eRrUKZAbq6tdlrByw9aFFeKo5vhrR1Pp-qYBaK2y6IDBMuBaYfv_jeRl5QW_penZv13vRfd5ZQHuLVsZedBzWYtb80S-ZKLxU6Y-_AhEiwVtsmX-wVW27JLqIfDqGoQuuw/s1600/benny+036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0h0wROy2_eRrUKZAbq6tdlrByw9aFFeKo5vhrR1Pp-qYBaK2y6IDBMuBaYfv_jeRl5QW_penZv13vRfd5ZQHuLVsZedBzWYtb80S-ZKLxU6Y-_AhEiwVtsmX-wVW27JLqIfDqGoQuuw/s400/benny+036.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His name is Benney and he is A beautiful dog,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that tears up anything plastic, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and has more energy than any other dog I have ever had.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is enrolled in Feisty Fido classes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At night we can bring him in the house,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He will go to sleep say ten o'clock and will</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sleep until noon the next day...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But once his feet hit the ground</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he is all energy,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so you see I have had a busy summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have missed all of you and visiting your blogs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been on facebook a bit and have</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
enjoyed that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It feels good to be back in Blogland</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I hope to touch base in the near future.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have Your Very Best Day!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi Everybody,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so sorry I have not posted for so long,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life has gotten busy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What with the regular gardening,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
house cleaning, cooking, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
man time just flies,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
no faster for me than others.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what else have I been doing?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have gotten involved in a couple of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Narcolepsy/Cataplexy sites</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I am really enjoying that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Letter writing has begun and giving</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some insight as to what this illness is all about</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seems to help others too,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not too mention how much it helps me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also I live 3 hours from the city of Calgary</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where they have had so much flooding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems like a shock to see the videos</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and flooding so close to home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All my family there has made out okay</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as they lived in a different area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cleanup that needs to be done</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is out of this world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such areas as High Level</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have had it really bad,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some people are still refusing to leave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't have one thing to complain about that even </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seems important, so I am focusing on the positive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A new day, fresh breeze through my window,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
robins singing, sipping coffee, getting ready for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
doctors appointment, and if the weather stays</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
good today want to repaint some metal chairs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have missed you all and will come by your blogs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to catch up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been enjoying contact on Facebook with some of you,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I miss reading your posts everyday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photo above is from photofunia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love that site,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can do some really cool pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well must run, I am sure the doctor does</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not want to see me in my pj's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with Albert Einstein hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a great day and so sorry I seem all over the place</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have your best day ever.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots has been happening in my life lately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the most exciting is getting to know others</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that have the same illness as I.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To know your not alone and to have others</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
understand exactly what is happening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess to fit, to belong, to be enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To be okay just as one is, accepting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For ten years I kept telling myself, Don't sell your car,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will drive again one day!Soon you will be better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well here it is 10 years this summer,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so out of the blue last week I sold my car,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My pink car named Precious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Was I sad to let her go. No I was in charge</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
knowing this was the best thing for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That had been my independance, but I did not need to keep it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anymore as I am okay with whom I am.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everytime I look out where I had it parked</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I smile to myself, Holding onto the past no matter what</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it be, can be exhausting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit that my husband was shocked</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when he came home and saw the car gone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had talked about it, I think he thought I never would</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have sold it. He also thought I should have gotten more money.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I did good and I told him it was not about the money.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so now instead of a car we are going to buy a new lawnmower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So on this long weekend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hopefully we will be cutting the grass and playing in the yard,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sitting in the sun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a great long weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't ever let anything hold you back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from knowing that you are</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
enough,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if you have people in your life or in blogland</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that tell you otherwise, well then Thank your lucky stars</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and leave them Behind!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>

What a bright cheery day it is around here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am spending the day alone in my yard,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then a BBQ with Hubby this evening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The above is a picture I drew for a friend of mine,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the bright colors make me happy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just wanted to pop in today to wish </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then it started to melt,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-sPc8PXLPgeOiiawyY2e_kkhwkeqTIYBeb8RBesxosk5AUGOu0Fd31WMpo81XrekFQ3ScSqI68X6ggRYDVgku5G2P106rQGWt78CaOLO6fe9ORYCeDrECtRIrTA9I6qZ-0YFW5Gk-3M/s1600/aspringwain+062.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-sPc8PXLPgeOiiawyY2e_kkhwkeqTIYBeb8RBesxosk5AUGOu0Fd31WMpo81XrekFQ3ScSqI68X6ggRYDVgku5G2P106rQGWt78CaOLO6fe9ORYCeDrECtRIrTA9I6qZ-0YFW5Gk-3M/s320/aspringwain+062.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then yesterday it snowed again</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkUE2Ux2479H_4SNWaea4Egn6SohFQohQJWxq_l9knIhWd-3PGocLMhfHpIF_5s04F292G-uq5_7hbAAv-dm4QbVvJMbt3uRVyZdJLZw-gen1NtisS_Fhhx6c8uvCq9mhk91tyYmaJU98/s1600/aspringwain+089.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkUE2Ux2479H_4SNWaea4Egn6SohFQohQJWxq_l9knIhWd-3PGocLMhfHpIF_5s04F292G-uq5_7hbAAv-dm4QbVvJMbt3uRVyZdJLZw-gen1NtisS_Fhhx6c8uvCq9mhk91tyYmaJU98/s320/aspringwain+089.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To think water was running down the road the other day,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as the snow was melting and as I sat out front in my yard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I heard a robin singing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could not see it, but I heard it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I am praying to all the Gods that be,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to bring on Spring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can not help but think how lucky I am that I live in a country</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where we can celebrate and enjoy the beauty</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of each season!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
..........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
may you be healthy and happy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Louis L'Amour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
said</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The water does not flow </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until the faucet is turned on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
..........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To have a beautiful day begins with one simple thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Choice!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish you the Very Best Day Ever!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Around the corner Spring awaits,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
although in my mind it has already arrived.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this sun filled day, diamonds bouncing off the freshly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fallen snow,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chickadees outside my window.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meat loaf and Scalloped Potatoes ready to be prepared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unpacking suitcase, playing with makeup given to me by my sister,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Phone call with my Mother, Country music playing Chanel 404,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
loving this wonderful day, happiness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Focusing on all the positive things in my life,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
knowing that each day is about choosing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
how we will see it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My messy house means that it is lived in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dishes to do means that I have food to eat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Laundry to be done means I have clothes to wear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Icicles falling off the neighbors house</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
means it is warming up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunshine means happiness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is the perfect day!</div>

Hi Stinky here, Cinner has been kidnapped by </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her seester. All I get to do for awhile is watch the birdies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from inside.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pigeons keep me quite entertained,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes when they are on the roof</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cinner will yell out in a loud voice and say,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Get off the roof, and she threatens to make </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pigeon pie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think they have to worry</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cinner does not really like to cook.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Cinner goes away I pretty much get the run of the place,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well until Dad comes home. I am in his bad books right now</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because he bought Cinner some flowers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yuck, they tasted horrible but it was fun to bite</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the flower parts off. The next morning both</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cinner and Dad chased me. I like it when they</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chase me. I have lots of hiding places.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I will do it again the next time flowers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
come home with Dad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best part of Cinner being gone is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't have to act like a lady.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I only behave when she is here so</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that she will give me some Temptations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-Co9ERFow4T24L_n0HiegW8WO0JQS6DOQe_h7khn3UR6tcrSijJNMeXeEMBNKhCemk_un6-j-bvVfL79sAo0KbSgNnlXRxw2S8zbDgFCh7VZg8H1ViJngsPndlYUHeJQHMEPJs6REGU/s1600/IMGP3262.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-Co9ERFow4T24L_n0HiegW8WO0JQS6DOQe_h7khn3UR6tcrSijJNMeXeEMBNKhCemk_un6-j-bvVfL79sAo0KbSgNnlXRxw2S8zbDgFCh7VZg8H1ViJngsPndlYUHeJQHMEPJs6REGU/s320/IMGP3262.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and after she gives me them, well then it is time to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have a sleep. I did not know it would take me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so long to type this....she told me something about a mous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think she is a crackpot because I did not see any.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe she did not take her meds this morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So she said to say she will be back soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is always nicer after she comes from a visit</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at her seesters and Moms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually was born at Moms,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thats where Cinner found me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and she kidnapped me and took me home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope she does not kidnap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and bring anything home with her this time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway Have a good day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stinky</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi Everyone, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a new favorite hobby,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am teaching myself to play the harmonica.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stumbled across this on Youtube.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is worth a watch and inspires me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a picture of my terrarium. It is kind of hard to see,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my favorite part is the two little owls in their little nest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I might put some smaller pebbles in it too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it sitting in my kitchen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirxLqSpQurVbdcPuTA7mNhbgBhPH2fUDtNAkSziBqzYcvl93Y3T4vRbUMOghF0t1g0vZbEAsOhBHev7vvHXn6nxe44_AiWtSVcejm288ax-oIB2r-Y6DhbouFSERn6srdeTqUthPeTAXM/s1600/spring2013+068.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirxLqSpQurVbdcPuTA7mNhbgBhPH2fUDtNAkSziBqzYcvl93Y3T4vRbUMOghF0t1g0vZbEAsOhBHev7vvHXn6nxe44_AiWtSVcejm288ax-oIB2r-Y6DhbouFSERn6srdeTqUthPeTAXM/s320/spring2013+068.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see the owls a bit clearer in this one. They make </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
me smile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYrvrZVIhQdI8s0Tl2-yNJ5AY6I2ShJ9Nd6UyhBhnaLl0DLCFi1xcot683-2d9J7hT48SxYAdmN17VUx5Ya4dZC2VqbakYAhkbdDoE43dhtgv-b5pZKnqbniYkaRJygSdONxYbgKGImVE/s1600/spring2013+066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYrvrZVIhQdI8s0Tl2-yNJ5AY6I2ShJ9Nd6UyhBhnaLl0DLCFi1xcot683-2d9J7hT48SxYAdmN17VUx5Ya4dZC2VqbakYAhkbdDoE43dhtgv-b5pZKnqbniYkaRJygSdONxYbgKGImVE/s400/spring2013+066.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here it is, total cost to make about 2.50 for the plant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything else I had in my house. I am trying to recycle more</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and have so many ideas for pallets, and Hubby says he is going to help</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
me in the Spring, so will see what I come up with then.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
..............</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Had a nice quiet weekend,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
went out for lunch on Saturday </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with Hubby's sister and Mom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Watched Hockey game and Grammy's last night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
.........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday would have been my Dads birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I miss him, but I had to smile. I always</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
phoned him on his birthday, he hated talking on the phone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always used to tell him I loved him, it seemed to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
always make him a little nervous,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mr. Tough Guy Farmer type you know,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then one day he told me back and he never</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ever forgot to tell me after that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It gave me comfort yesterday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wishing you all the best of weeks,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I sat on my bed sorting through my medications,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
filling my morning, afternoon and evening requirements.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The necessities for me to be able to stand without falling,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be able to be awake for about 3 hours at a time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While sorting I could not help but think I just want to throw</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
them all out, that maybe I could just wave a magic wand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and be my old self again.....Why am I even thinking like this,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I am lucky to have the medicine, and to have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the information to understand the situation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read other blogs and their struggles with life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
threatening illnesses and their courage and strength,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I know I have that within me,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but for right now I feel as if I just want to scream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as I sort through the rainbow of colors,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
blue, yellow, purple, green, white,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
round ones, square, oval,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I throw them against the wall,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the tears roll down my face,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
feeling guilty that I am having a moment,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
writing about it rather than saying</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am just fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband comes to the room and holds me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He lets me cry until I feel silly that I am being such a baby,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We talk about it and he makes me laugh,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and somehow I feel stronger,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nothing like a good cry </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then I pull myself up by my bootstraps,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we face the world together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
knowing how lucky and truly blessed we are!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
