Thursday again

I think Thursday seems to be the day that I blog. haha
Today I'll share some photos taken from my birthday, Easter, and some more typing about stuff.

Megan and me:


Right now:

I'm happy to be 35. When I was in my twenties, this was scary. Now that I'm here, well, I'm content and that feels good. Content with myself, with my beautiful life.

I'm thankful for two good friends - Catherine and Mike. They're the best kind of BFF's. They bring joy and think it's ok to hurt sometimes. They are there for that stuff. And the clinking glass stuff. But, the best is when we all get together for the everyday stuff.

I am wanting another really good book to read.

I am yearning to take my camera on a field trip.

I'm aching for some truth at work. Also, there's something amiss and I can't put my finger on it. Until then, I'll plug away and hope to keep my paycheck. Someday I'll reach out for a new step in my career.

Sweet teas at McDonald's are my thing again. That delicious sugary stuff is only a dollar, too.

I am reading along on this blog - it's awesome. I dare you to join me.


What's going on in your life, right now?

Scrappin fool

Hi! I've had some serious mojo spurts again and have been scrapping a lot!
Just wanted to share a few pages. ;) TFL!

BTW - Megan has four loose teeth. Yep, 4! One is so loose I'd say we'll have it gone in the next week. Stay tuned!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Love the one you're with!

Remember that song? Cheesy, but love the message.

Today, I am feeling overwhelmed with the need to hug everyone and have everyone feel ok, including me. There is so much going on in the world to worry about and it's smeared all over the news. It's talked about over the radio airwaves. Hard to avoid hearing about - and feeling along with them - the heartache that you, your family, or your neighbor are going through.

Being in the Detroit area, in the automotive capital, and in the state with the largest unemployment rate, I am troubled with wanting to fix it and not knowing how.

Today, I refuse to complain about anything. NOT ONE I-O-TA. Hold me to it, you guys! Well, except maybe the clock. That darn thing ticks too much. Ok, so I want it to be the only thing that's ticked off today. ;)

Remember my word for 2009? Yep, REACH. Today I'm using it.

I want to REACH out and say it's going to get better. It has to. Share some hope, optimism, spend any money you may have to help someone today, uplift, and if anything, hug. If you are not all too comfortable hugging peeps, well, smile. If you are struggling to rub those pennies together - hugs and smiles are free. Love the ones you're with. We're all in this together.
