I'm hoping to get back to blogging!

I 've been off my blog for so long, I've forgotten how to get back on. Things have changed here and I would like to start over. So, when life slows down a bit, I will be back!

A Heartwarming Message

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore".

No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."

Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."

So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.

This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

I received this from someone who thought I was a

'keeper' !

Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way...

 Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are 'keepers' in your life.

Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

Let every one of your friends know you love them.

Even if you think they don't love you back.

Quotes for the day!

Marriage

                                          
                                             Wouldn't it be nice if we would only try to live
                                              by these words. I know I don't...but it gives me
                                              hope and motivation to try!

What can cheer you up on a cold winter day...but flowers...or candles!

Quotes for the day...

I love Valentine issues of magazines!

Here are a couple of my favorite February issues of magazines that I'll never

                      toss. I love collecting inspiring ideas and having them at hand when I get creative.

                     Sad that Home Companion by Mary Englebreit is no longer in print. I cherish these
                                                               old issues the most.

Every challenge we face adds to the suspense, adds to the mystery, adds to the chaos, adds to the possibilities, adds to the romance, adds to the adventure, adds to the joy.
