WHERE DO BEGINNINGS BEGIN?????.......................

 

NEW BEGINNINGS CAN OFTEN BE SHADOWY...

UNCERTAIN...

FRIGHTENING.....



TO MAKE GAINS IN THIS LIFE WE MUST 

VENTURE FORTH.......

TO NEW PLACES....

MEET NEW PEOPLE.....

EXPERIENCE NEW IDEAS.....



   

WITHOUT NEW BEGINNINGS WE ARE UNABLE TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE FOR OUR LIVES.

ARE YOU BEGINNING A NEW BEGINNING?????

    Oh my the roads are breathtaking!! I would drive 25 miles an hour over those roads to enjoy every suttle and not so suttle rise & fall. Some days, I start new every other minute. :) Hugs. Tazzy

    Wonderfully insightful post, Jo. I love the images. I hope I embrace new beginnings, I am trying. Let go of old fears is hard but you can do it if you try.

    Every morning is a new beginning. A fresh start to get things right, to not go back, to live life to the fullest and to trust God to show us what is good .

    HA! That's putting it mildly in my case..

    I hope you're having a wonderful time driving on all the fun roads. My tummy's still queasy from the one that looks like old Christmas Ribbon Candy :)

    And maybe the hardest part, is deciding what/which new beginning, to begin with...

    This post summoned up my entire life. Yes Jo my husband and i have stepped forth on a complete new beginning. Scary at hell to me especially since i have stepped way out of my comfort zone! Some days i say to my hubby I cannot do this! But i keep venturing forth with all my prayers tucked inside.
    Thanks for a lovely encouraging post...I needed that!

    Hi Jo, thanks for stopping by my wacky deer in the closet post!! Your thoughts on new beginnings were so well written. I've come across some times in my life when I've been drawn to a new beginning and it's funny how some friends were not so supportive, or understanding. I think new beginnings scare people, and they have a hard time accepting them for anyone. Maybe they feel they'll be left behind, or that people will change. My reasons for beginning something new was to always enhance my experiences in life, therefore enhancing the lives of those around me. Ciao, bella!

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 after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
