Give Thanks

Up a Lazy River

Sometimes I just wonder what we're doing, careening through life as we do. The balance between work and play can quickly become unbalanced, leaving us frustrated and irritable. Going into the holiday season, we really need to refocus, remembering what's important. Setting priorities. Living each day without stressing over tomorrow.

In the spirit of my "rant," I have been playing catch-up this morning, as I had an unexpected cancellation in my schedule. The catch-up is with myself. My present "calling" is to take time to rejuvenate the spirit.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration - enjoy each moment.

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr

Macro Monday + One

It could also become a "things I'm grateful for" list, as well. We need to take time periodically to reflect on all t

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.
