My First Granddaughter

Dresden arrived today at 3:48 PM. She weighted in at 8 lbs. Watching her arrival was awesome and hearing her first, soft cry is like music to my heart. Congratulations Kimberly and Dustin! And thanks for my sweet bundle of joy!

Christmas 2008

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Every streaming ribbon, every dazzling trim, every bit of velvet seems more beautiful then ever. The lights of Christmas are like stars, and the holiday season wraps us in magic. Another wonderful Christmas season shared with family and friends. Warmest wishes and may joy and peace fill our hearts in the New Year!

Little Treasures

"The most beautiful thing under the sun is being under the sun." -Jane Ann

"Happiness does not consist in things themselves but in the relish we have of them..."

Create a vivid, positive vision for your future, see it, say it, meditate on it, write it down, flash on it at every red light. When you catch yourself thinking you're too old, too poor, too weak, or too needy to make a change, laugh in your own face.

"Caretake this moment. Immerse yourself in its particulars. Respond to this person, this challenge, this deed. Quit the evasions. Stop giving yourself needless trouble. It is time to really live; to fully inhabit the situation you happen to be in now." -Epictetus

I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become--as a woman thinks, so is she. If we absorb hour upon hour of images and messages that don't reflect our magnificence, it's no wonder we walk around feeling drained of our life force.
"To thine own self be true!"

Make your dreams come true...

Flash....Kim is expecting a BABY the first of February
and we are having a GIRL! My first grandaughter (I have four grandsons)...I am so excited I can hardly wait for her arrival. Guess the warning worked! I told my kids the next child is getting lace regardless of the sex. Ha ha...Yes, we are having a beautiful, sweet baby girl! I'm looking forward to holding her in my arms and whispering, "I've been waiting a very long time for your arrival," while kissing her gently on the cheek. Thanks Kim, dreams do come true. I'm grinning from ear to ear!
