Oh my !  Saturday morning I woke up with a horrible sore throat.  In times  past I would have simply "KEPT CALM AND CARRIED ON".  But no--this time I fluffed up the pillows in the guest bedroom , made myself a pot of herb tea, sent my husband out for chicken soup and went to bed.  In short, I took care of myself.  This time - I put myself on the top of my gift list - by giving myself the gift of love.  

So, my dear friends, this holiday season, when as women we are so overbooked and overextended put yourself a the top of your gift list.  Give yourself the Gift of Love!   
Blessings to you all,
 
p.s. the beautiful young girl in the picture is not me!

    Thanks Jo for the Magazine Info, I never realized it was in there & Yes, I did participate in the event.... I will have to make sure I have that issue. I hope you are feeling better, I am just resting today, I ended up in Emergency on Saturday night, after 11 hours & several tests, I now know I have a Bad Gall Bladder.... Fun!
    take care

Goodness...........I haven't opened my blog or posted since December of 2021.  Don't know if I will start blogging again as I don't like to use Google for anything.....but who knows. Guess if I want to put my thoughts on paper Google will be necessary. We will see what happens. Stay well.....✋

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

" I AM ROOTED....BUT I FLOW". Virginia Woolf

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress.

Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
