Thankful Thursday

-
Usually my family refers to me as Annie Upper or Pollyanna. They love to tell me that I think it's all sunshine and roses. I must admit I am a glass full type of person. Yesterday was one of those days, where someone took my glass of water, spit in it, and then smashed it to the floor. Now, I am also a person who wears my ❤️ on my sleeve, and a poker face is something I will never master. Well, alarm bells went out that Mom seems sad.
Daisies are such a happy flower.

It wasn't too long before my son showed up with a bouquet of  flowers as a pick me up.  Last night, Fi and Nish took me to Beauty and the Beast, totally a mood lifter. That inspired my instagram post today.
Beauty and the Beast.
Art makes me happy!
Today, Onz called from London, saying we needed to do an exercise video together on what's app.
I followed that up with one of my favorite treats, a Russell Stover whipped strawberry egg.

A walk with a good friend, who had an extra recycle barrel, yay! who wants to spend money on rubbish? And I have to remember good riddance to bad rubbish. Or in a more zen like approach, what will be will be. As my mom always said, whatever happens, happens. Thanks to my peeps, I am all good again, and the world is back to being sunshine and roses!

    I have a tendency to NOT have a poker face. I hate to open gifts in front of people, because if I'm disappointed, it shows on my face.

    Your son was a wonderful person for making your glass full again. And that beautiful calligraphy makes me wish I could read my own writing.

    Had to laugh at the chocolate you ate after contemplating an exercise video. Now THAT sounds appropriate!

    Thank you. Yes, he is pretty sweet.. I think learned alot from two older sisters. Glad you like my calligraphy. If you like snail mail, send me your address. If your mailbox is already too full, I will just send a good wish and a greeting across the blogosphere.😉

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craf...

T stands for Transformation..

and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula...
