Friendship

When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness...makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters.

Family is the spice of life!

Dresden's 1st Birthday Party!

Thought for today...

The Authentic Self Is the Soul Made Visible
Today be willing to reflect quietly on the role that rhythm plays in your daily life. Your heart will always tell you what's working and what's not. Restoring rhythm to the way you conduct your affairs can bring you contentment and a sense of well-being that will nurture and sustain you when the cares of the world can't be left behind.

Kimberly and Dresden

Kim made this fun hat for Dresden. Soooo cute Kim! Great job daughter of mine. Can't wait to go to San Francisco to see Wicked with you! I'm counting the days....

My babies

My Grand babies are getting too big! Stay small and sweet Dres & Arie. I love holding and playing with you. You have the sweetest giggles; music to my ears. xoxoxoxx

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!
