Get To Know Your Neighbors
I know that Robert Frost (or at least I think it was Robert Frost) said that “good fences make good neighbors”, but I don’t think that I necessarily agree. Sometimes fences are good, like for keeping your neighbors’ dogs from pooping on your lawn, but I digress. I believe that getting to know your neighbors and being on friendly terms with them really adds richness to your daily life. I live in a town of about 1500 … Read entire article »

There Is Always A Way To Put A New Twist On Something
I love being tagged with awards and memes by other bloggers. It gives you a chance to get to know other bloggers and for them to get to know you. It also at times gives you something to write about when you are struggling to find a light hearted topic, or sometimes any topic. The way I write my blog, I have a theme. I try to blog about a lesson in life each day. … Read entire article »

Marriage Is Hard Work, But It Is A Wonderful Journey
Today my husband and I celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. Twenty one great years as husband and wife, 5 wonderful kids and 5 different houses on two different continents. I was lucky to have found someone special to have shared my life with from an early age. We have grown up together. (Although he is the older man three years my senior which at 16 was probably more than enough to freak my parents out.) I … Read entire article »

Remember That Your Life Is Interesting (Or At Least Can Sound Like It To Others)
We often to tend to think that our lives are boring or nothing special. It’s only when we actually dig deeper and start to list things we have done or seen that we realize that maybe we are not all that dull, or that maybe we at least sound interesting to others. I had actually pondered over whether or not my life was interesting enough a little while back as a guest poster over at Notes … Read entire article »

Smile Even When You Don't Want To
We all have pictures from our childhood, teens or even adulthood where we look back at ourselves and wonder what the heck we were thinking when we got dressed. Chances are good though that at the time we thought we were dressing quite fashionably. And then there are the pictures where you knew at the time that you looked ridiculous and there was not a thing in the world you could do. I present to you my … Read entire article »

Take a Moment To Appreciate Nature's Beauty
It is a beautiful spring day today. The kind of weather I would love to have year round. There is sunshine and there is a breeze. It is not too hot and not too cold. The other day I posted about learning to take the time to see, hear and feel life. My sister commented to me that while all my blog posts usually leave her feeling uplifted, that one kind of brought her down. So I … Read entire article »

If Something Makes You Happy, Do It Even If You're Not Great At It
I was sitting here trying to decide which of the million dozens of topics swirling around in my head I should write about. And then I heard a guitar playing and my second son singing. He was giving my little 3 year old a bath and he likes to play the guitar for her while she splashes around in the water. It was so sweet to listen to. Today for the first time I heard … Read entire article »

Every Once In A While It's Healthy To Let Your Silly Side Show
Every one has a silly side to them. Some people just have it hidden better than others. And then there are those who don’t hide their silly side well enough. Being silly is as important to living a great life as being serious is. Serious and silly each have their individual appropriate moments. Sometimes they even mix. Who doesn’t like having a serious moment lightened up by random silliness? Actually I guess there are moments of seriousness … Read entire article »

Thank The Overlooked People In Your Life
Thank you. Two small words that can make a tremendous difference in a person’s day. I will even go so far as to say that sometimes those two words can make a difference not just in a person’s day but in their life. We all know the importance of saying thank you to people and we all know how it feels to be thanked and appreciated. Yet sometimes people we should acknowledge and thank are overlooked. … Read entire article »

Coincidences? Nope-it's all for a reason.

When I say believers I am referring to those of us who believe that life is not just a random jumble but that life has an order, a sense and a purpose to it. Of … Read entire article »

Unexpected is Best
I was going to write about a completely different topic today, but an unexpected tag by Heather on Notes from Lapland with a Happy .
