Thankful for a Lot of Things...and People

Life has been a little busy lately...but that's ok.  It's been a good busy.  But even in the middle of all of the stuff going on, I've taken the time to think about all of the things I'm thankful for.  I could give you a long list if you wanted...and I just might!!  I'm thankful for air conditioners...in the car, at work, at home (I'm not loving the heat).  I'm thankful for the new Deidramobile!  I just love it!!  And I'm thankful God provided a way for me to get it!  I'm thankful for my cell phone.  Yep.  I said it.  I love my phone.  It keeps me in touch with people and that to me is important.  I'm thankful for my job!  Not only does it provide the paycheck that in turn provides all of the material things I've thankful for, it also provides me with lots of smiles, children, fun, people I may never have met otherwise...the list goes on! 

I'm not just thankful though for the material things.  I'm so thankful for all of the people in my life.  Whether they know it or not, they've played a huge role in my life lately.  Simple things like getting a text in the morning when someone reads my facebook...they read between the lines and knew that I needed an extra prayer.  That means the world to me!!!  That also means they know me quite well!  Or getting the text threatening to kick someone's butt for me!  That made me laugh and reminded me that there are plenty of people who want me in their life!  People just saying hi.  Sharing a smile.  Providing laughs!  I've laughed so much in the last week!  My ribs hurt from laughing so much!  Laughing is good for the soul!!!  My list goes on.  It really does.  Just know that whether I've said it or not...I'm extremely thankful for you.  All of you.  And all of you being a part of my life lately has kept this attitude of mine in check!!!  It's given me that chance to look at things from both sides and to remind myself of the person I know I'm supposed to be.  THANK YOU!!!

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Friday Follow

How come when it's time to do the Friday Follow, I have nothing interesting to say??? Hmmmm...it's been a long week.  Days where things just didn't make sense.  Lots I need to process.  It's possible that all of my thinking will lead to a great post this weekend.  But for now, I just hope all of you new visitors find something interesting to read from other posts here.  I plan to spend this rainy weekend doing some thinking, relaxing, watching movies and checking out new blogs!  Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, right?  :-)  Thanks for stopping by!

New Cards!!!

So between resting this weekend (cause my allergies kicked my butt...especially yesterday), I worked on making some cards.  It's been SO long since I've actually spent time doing something like this and I LOVE making cards!  So I wanted to share them with you.  I made 20 cards total.  2 each of 10 designs.  So now there's two sets of friendship cards.  I think I'm going to try to sell one set.  Then I think give the other set away.  I'm just not sure how.  Any ideas?  I'm thinking if you leave a comment about the cards you'll be entered to win.  If you buy one set of cards, you'll also be entered to win.  Hows that sound?
