Merry Christmas

Christmas morning is always so much fun. Family. A husband who loves me. My children’s laughter. The smells of breakfast and peppermint coffee coming from the kitchen….. I’ve always loved the whole Christmas season. No matter what is going on in the outside world….in here it is perfect. At least for a little while.
Thank you [...]

Saturday Morning

Where do the weeks go? It really does seem that the older I get the faster time moves. Why is that anyway? This year I’m really going to make a New Years resolution to slow down and make sure I keep things in perspective. I spend way too much time running around trying to fit [...]

Almost Christmas!

I am tired of looking around and seeing Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings on cards or at stores or various workplaces.  Why is it not politically correct to say Merry Christmas anymore? I mean it IS Christmas. Christmas IS about the birth of Christ. Christmas isn’t just about Santa or presents. If you are not [...]

Lazy Sunday

I wasn’t feeling well today so I didn’t go to church. I got to spend some time today walking around in my bathrobe…having a late breakfast and watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. It turned out to be a nice day, even if I did have a bad head cold. Everyone needs a lazy day like [...]

Day Seven

Ever have a day when everything goes according to plan? Everything works out? Everything is just right? Yesterday was that day for me. It made me feel great and this morning I’m looking forward to another good day. Attitude is the most important thing. Wonder what today will bring?

Day Six

Life is short whether we live one day on this earth or one hundred years. In the big scheme of things even one hundred years is just a blink of an eye when speaking of eternity. It is important to me to try and keep things in perspective. That is hard. Let me be honest….it is a real struggle. Today [...]

Day Five

I guess I need to slow down and take some time to smell the roses so to speak. It seems like I am constantly on a treadmill, round and round I go….will it ever end? Even when I sit down I’m still mulling over all the things I need to accomplish before bedtime. I have [...]

Day Four

I just returned from a historic homes tour that Knoxville does for the holidays every year. Many of these homes were built in the late 1800’s. Beautiful Victorians, Simple Craftsman, Cute Bungalows. I find the architecture and decoration on the houses very interesting. Compared to the subdivisions that many developers slap up in a few [...]

Day Three

Last night I was at a friends birthday party. We have been friends for 20 years. Lots of memories. Where did the time go? Wasn’t it just the other day that we were 18 and starting college? I’ve done a lot and changed a lot over the past  2 decades…..and so has she. We are [...]

Day Two

Today I learned a lesson on forgiveness. Sometimes the lessons I have to learn in this life are not always easy…. as a matter of fact most of the time they are NOT easy. I can be very stubborn. Tonight I was wrong. I needed to humble myself, put my pride aside and say “I’m [...]
