 Let it in....
 

 
 
Yawing.....yea..I'm still kicking..well for a moment the other day I didn't think I would kick for a while lol..I decided to hang a few more things up for the holidays..on the ceiling...I had it going good...till coming off my step ladder...missed the bottom step..I thought I had control..but..forgot the stupid vacuum was there and stumbled over it..and kept going...I fell smack back into the crates with our ornaments..(yeah..the ornaments are ok lol lol)..but..jeepers..I thought for sure the leg and foot were going to hurt forever...but..they are ok..just some scrapes and bruising...That'll teach me to vacuum ever again lol lol...
 
The days have been really busy...but really rewarding...our town put on..I guess you would call it a memorial service..in memory of the ones we have lost...There was a tree which we brought ornaments with the names of our love ones and hung them there...the best part was the nite we brought pics of the love ones......each family got up lite a candle..shared about the love one...It was sad and beautiful....Yes tears came that nite...
 
Then on Thursday...our town Christmas parade...Hubby took the nite off and so the boys..he ..and I all went enjoyed it...it was so nice...after the parade..Santa was coming to see the kids in the park...but while waiting for him to arrive...a church right across the street was also putting on a beautiful display...there were singing...oh and they played the bells...omg...that was so beautiful...there was hot apple cider..and lots of goodies for the kids to eat..and they put on a showing of the Baby Jesus in the manager...it was the kids doing this...Yes indeed...Very Beautiful...they even used a real baby...The nite was just perfect...not too cold..but cool enough to feel comfy...Yes...the Spirit of Love is surely around lately...and I am surely inhaling it to the fullest...My family and I...
 
So..there ya have it...I'm still around...just busy and enjoying the moments with my family...I've not forgotten about you my stream family...and I will take some time to come visit you all ..soon...Let the love fill your hearts...and make all your days beautiful...Jesus is knocking...let him in...I did...Smile...
Love to you all

 I can still be Happy!!
 

 
 
 
So..I've been all over the stream...catching up on ya'll..and for the ones I've missed...well to you I say a great big Hello...and wish you all the best of day..well at least what's left of it...
 
You know how when you feel so great..and you know..just know something will happen...well...it did...within the pass week 2 ppl we know have died...one of which my Mom knew...and the other was a cousin of mine...he was my age..and his wife died about a month ago..and he really took it hard...so hard that a few days ago..he took his own life...opened a bottle of pills and swallowed them all..and now he is no longer with us...
 
As children we were close..and played together everyday...I was a tomboy..loved to climb the trees and such with the guys...so he with his many brothers and sisters and I had a blast...but years passed and we all grew up and apart...It seems the only time we all see each other these days is at funerals...but..jeepers..it's not supposed to be us..not yet..not at our age..I just don't know how I feel about this...
 
I've seen..been...done so much...and little by little I am letting it out...When I really think about it..I wonder..was that really me that was there thru it all...No wonder I've had so much confusion and anger in my heart for these passed years...slowly but surely...I've started the forgiving of myself and others...realizing what has caused me to loose myself...and by learning this..I've met a wonderful woman...Me..Smile...I am so thankful that I have God in my life..for without him..I would be a lost lamb...another thing I am thankful for is blogging...it has helped me tremendously...
You know what...sitting here writing...thinking...I've realized that I am happy...and I was afraid to be...but that is ok for me to still be happy in my heart...I can feel sad..and hurt for the lost...but..I don't have to feel guilty if I still have that happiness in my heart...over the past years..with every lost..I've tucked my heart aside..all the love and happiness away...and it just got lost..I always felt..I shouldn't be happy ...not with all the sadness others that I've loved had...(Happy Tears now fill my eyes...for now I am realizing..why..)...I know you all think omg..this is one strange cookie...but...I'm one happy one..Thank you God...I love you so much...oh yes I surely do...God speaks to everyone differently..and this seems to be how he speaks to me..while I'm writing..while I'm thinking...Aint he just great...even though he makes me look like a lunatic...lol lol..
Ok..time for this looney to bid you all a good nite..
Smile

 Warm Smiles
 

It's late as usual...and I should be in bed..but nada...here reading..and I so love it...I see so much life here..so many different lives...we are all so different but yet so alike...What a miraculous thing God did when he gave it to us...
 
Today...I met 2 different young ladies...but both of them touched my life...just with their smiles..and their happy attitudes...They worked at different places..both of which can be very busy....but..in both cases these young ladies were so warm...took time with us...not just brushing us off to get on with what ever else they were doing..I let both of them know how much I appreciated them..for their time and fresh smiles...
 
Today was just a really good day...Hubby and I started the Christmas shopping..and just had a really nice time together...and it rolled into the evening...Just the past week has been so peaceful..I'm afraid that I'm dreaming...lol..and that I will wake up..and poof...oh well..guess..I'll have some faith and enjoy it...
 
Well..can you believe it..I'm getting tired...lol..more to tell..but..will have to wait...so..I bid you all a good nite...and smiles and love...
