Beautiful Y♥U

You are so beautiful to me..♫♪

(the back of one of my newly created art jounals)

I am so thankful for each of you.

There is just something so special about

fellow blogging friends.

When I visit your blogs

I become 

more inspired,

more hopeful, more creative…

and the list could continue on and on.

But the main reason I visit you is because

YOU ARE YOU

You are REAL

You are not trying to be

someone else, or something other than

who you are not.

I cherish the ups in your life and

I cherish the down times too.

Many times, what you are going

through at the moment, touches

my heart so deeply

because it is similar to what

 I am going through also.

Thank Y♥U...You inspire me!

Actually, the real you inspires
and gives hope to more than just me,

but to so many more.

Your own “YOU” journey is
a very important one.

So don’t ever doubt that YOU make a difference.

 “A journey is best measured in friends

 rather than miles.”

You help inspire my wings to open and fly! 

(new watercolor pendant I recently created)

Oh... I just felt a sweet breeze...

and heard a flutter...

Oh yes...

you're wings are opening.

Can you feel it?

Is Your Heart Young?

What a beautiful day today here in Indiana!

Sunny with a light breeze and it just 

makes this girl HAPPY!!!

I don't like to think that I'm a girl

whose moods can be sweetened or made gloomy

by the weather, but it truly does make a 

bit of a difference.

I worked some more on my new

birdie painting.  

“YOUNG AT HEART”

Not liking how the words of the song

in the first line on the tree branch didn't show up

from a distance like I planned for them to.... but,

I am loving how the words to this old favorite

song makes me feel. Oh and how it makes

Mr. Fancy-step Cardinal feel too.

 

“The ♥ heart

   that loves is always young.”

Don't you think

that loving others and being thankful

daily for what they mean to us,

is one of the keys to 

staying young at heart?

....and laughing and playing together

can do wonders also.

I've always had a tendency to take things

to heart and can analyze something to

death if I don't balance myself.

But thankfully, when this

tendency stays around a little

too long, I've learned

it's time to go out

and do something fun or even silly

or whatever brings on some laughter.

That used to be doing a cart wheel in the yard,

but now if I tried that I would probably 

end up in the emergency room

and very embarrassed when explaining

just how I ended up there.

How about you?  

What do you do to help yourself stay

YOUNG AT HEART ?

Being with you my friends, sure helps 

keep my ♥ in better shape.
THANK YOU...

Here is my wish for you:

"Fairy tales can come true,

it can happen to YOU

If you're young at heart"

So make sure to go out this week
and tap dance
in that special created life of yours!

My Favorite Girls!!

I love my girls soooo much!

I also love the boys in my life too, but today

this post is for the girls in my life that 

make my heart so proud!

I just had to share some photos my son-in-law,

Stevan took of our granddaughter's graduation 

from preschool tonight!

To be honest, it breaks my heart that

we could not be there in person to see her perform.

 (8 hours away)

She performed as a sweet little birdie 

in her preschool play. 

  I am so thankful that we can see

these precious photos via the

 speed of online magic.

some fun and crazy poses!

Now I didn't teach her to cross her eyes like this!

My mother warned me that my eyes would

stay that way permanently if I

did it too often! ha

This little gal has her grandma's heart

as a permanent, forever valentine!

Our very special, beautiful and sweet heart of a daughter Jessica!

She is also the most wonderful mommy ♥ and

was a elementary school teacher before having children.

Our grandchildren, her children, are so blessed

to have a loving and creative mommy

that makes learning for them so fun and exciting.

She can also sing like a beautiful bird
and is like Julia Childs in the kitchen!
Her scones are amazing!!

I LOVE YOU Jessica!!!

Our special, beautiful and sweet daughter Jaymie!

She is Social Worker/ Therapist with Hospice and 

her BIG heart shines through in helping others make it through!

Not only does she have a passionate and big heart, but she 

has been gifted with such great administration 

and speaking skills and watch out if she ever plays

in a sport against you. She can kick your gluteous maximus!

I LOVE YOU Jaymie!!!

I am so blessed to have

such wonderful women (girls) in my life. 

Truly, watching them and being with them,

makes me into a better woman!

Thank  you God for my girls!!

And thank you God for my girlfriends!

this includes Y♥U.
