Such wondcerful words to live by Jo & you photographed it beautifully... thanks for stopping by my Guest Room Makeover with kind words, I know I feathered it to death *winks* but you wouldn't believe how much those great old footlockers and suitcases keep OUT of sight! *LOL*
Hi Jo, I love this post..I have told my kids and now grandchildren to always remember.."to the world, you may be only one person, but to one person, you may be the world"
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.....✋
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.

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...
Couldn't sleep last night so I'm having trouble embracing the day - but I'm trying. The sun is shining and there's no wind. So it is a beautiful day.
