ON BEING A GROUNDED FREE SPIRIT......................





A beautiful lady who blogs under Mumsy's Refuge
has passed on the Versatile Blogger's Award to me.
Since I am an award free blog....I simply want to introduce you to this beautiful woman.  She writes from the heart and is fairly new to the blogging community.

In passing on this award to other's she described each blogger to the best of her ability and why she chose them....that in itself is wonderful!!

She described me as a GROUNDED FREE SPIRIT.  I know that is a contradiction in terms...but I do feel she hit the nail on the head.
We do manage to do a little traveling during the summer and have a home base in the winter....but more importantly I think she realized that I love so many things....different styles....different writings...
poetry.....art.......I WANT TO DO IT ALL...as a very dear friend in AZ often says to me.



We only have a limited time on this earth.....why not drink up life till you overflow.

Please be sure and stop to see Mumsy...it will be worth the stop.

Just go and have fun!!!!!

Jo

    I couldn't get your link to work for Mumsy's Refuge so I was able to find it at http://mumsysrefuge.blogspot.com

    You definitely deserve the award. I, too, love your blog.

    What a beautiful way to describe you, Jo. It fits so well and could only be truer if she added the word beautiful to it. Have a wonderful week, my sweet friend.

Haven't posted since 2021

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. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. 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...
