THOUGHT FOR THE DAY..............SELF-WORTH................................


MY DECLARATION OF SELF-ESTEEM:
"I am Me.  In all the world there is no one else
exactly like Me.
There are Persons who have some parts like Me....But No One ADDS UP exactly like Me.
THEREFORE....EVERYTHING that comes out of me is AUTHENTICALLY MINE because I ALONE
CHOSE IT..........."

~~Virginia Satir~~

I believe.......that each one of us.....every day......should keep this  thought on the back  burner of our mind!!

I know my grama would agree.......


Let's all have a day filled with Self-Worth.

Hugs,
Jo

    What a great thought. Many are always trying to mimic someone else. What happened to just 'being me'.

    Jo, I just loved reading this. It is wonderful. I think we should all declare this every day. :-)

    Thank you so much for your prayers. I'm racing out in a few minutes, but I wanted to stop and tell you I miss you and how much I appreciate you praying for Mr. Magpie. He is my heart, and I want this to go well for him.

    See you soon...

    XOXO,

    Sheila :-)

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
