Now that my oldest daughter's wedding is over, and I'm catching up on all the things that had to be put aside because of it and other important things, it's time to make some new (good) habits.
It's kind of funny that I post regularly on a local newspaper blog, but I don't seem to find the time to post here. That's a Shame-on-Me thing, for sure, and I'm going to try, try, again to do better. But if I should fail again, there's always a new blog I'll direct your attention to. I mean, after all, I have posted there a time or two in the past week. Give Kristi Gold's Kristi's Koffee Chat a visit and tell her HI. You won't be disappointed. :)
1. At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them. You will fell much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
I can't believe another month and a half has gone by since I've posted here, but life has been busy and the things I want to do take precedence to the things I have to do. I'll definitely try to do better, as the "have-to" list is growing shorter.
My #2 daughter and her hubby bought a new house last month, and we're all very happy and excited for them. Yesterday, they had a big surprise for their two kids--Jules, a part-Labrador 8-week-old puppy. The kids are ecstatic over the new edition. Their part-Siamese cat, Daisy, is not, and has taken to hissing and growling at my son-in-law. After all, he's the one who brought the intruder into the house, so he's the bad guy. I have a feeling Daisy will, eventually, begin to forgive him and begin to at least tolerate the new addition. We, on the other hand, have fallen in love with Jules.
Happy First Day of Spring! Now, if only it felt like spring out there... We're welcoming in the new season under a winter storm watch. But I expect that by the end of the week, it will be much more spring-like. We just have to get through this nasty part first. After all, March did come in like a lamb here, so Old Man Winter is giving his last shout.
It's been some time since I've posted, but I've been busy. Besides writing, I also design websites, and I've been wrapped up in a few of those. Pennwriters, Inc., a Pennsylvania group of writers, now has a newly designed home on the web. Elizabeth Sinclair's website also had a brand new look. Look for more in the future for Kristi Gold and Heather Waters.
Back in January, Carol Stephenson tagged me for a 7 item meme that I haven't had time to complete. I've put it on my list of things to do this week, so with a little luck, it'll be posted here soon.
Yes, the wedding photos have finally arrived! To showcase the beautiful occasion, I've created an online album on my website for family and friends. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I enjoyed the wedding and creating the album.
Thanks to a round of stomach flu, compliments of the grandkids, part 2 is late. But at least we're all feeling better, just in time for Thanksgiving.
My#2 daughter's wedding was just over a week ago, so we're all still recovering from that, too. It was a beautiful wedding and so was the day. We started at 8 a.m., getting our hair done, then on to the church to dress and have photos taken. After that, the wedding, followed by the reception at the church. Later, after a 3 hour break, we attended an "after party" in the ballroom at the huge community center on the Air Force base here. The food was great and so were the music, provided by a DJ, and the dancing until 11. pm. All in all, it was a fabulous day, but I wouldn't want to do it again too soon.
The photo is of Lyndsay and her new husband Adam. There are more pictures, and I quickly added them to a webpage. Wedding Photos The plan is to have a complete album online, as soon as the professional wedding photos arrive.
Time sure can get away when a person is busy! Halloween has been over for more than 2 weeks, and we've made it through the first of our family's weddings. (Catching Up, Part 2 to come.) My 3 grandkids (kidlets, as I call them) enjoyed their candy-filled holiday, although little Gavin was pretty tuckered out long before the trick-or-treating was over for the other two. I've included a photo of them, all dressed up in their costumes. Scarlett, who is almost 4, was a cat. For the second year in a row. Is it obvious that she likes cats? Alex, who was less than a week from her third birthday, was a princess. Cinderella, to be exact, but she didn't get the movie on DVD until her birthday, so "Princess" was good enough for her. Gavin was a pint-sized vampire--sans the fangs--and looked quite stunning in his little "Count" suit. I'm sure there's still candy left. Both moms and dads were smart and tucked it away and are still handing it out to the little ones, a little at a time. They're all already planning costumes for next year!
