My Beautiful Girls! Happiest Day in a LONG TIME!



It is amazing to love two people so much...more then anything yet, to love them with such a different love because they are two different people! Yesterday was Easter....and I started my day off watching the sunrise on my way to the Sunrise Easter Service at church....and then....back to the house to spend it with Nat & Super G!

What a great day I had just basking in the fun, love and laughter of my girls. I have not had such a great day in such a long time. I have watched them grow and through all stages of their lives, they stand before me so grown up.........yet, I must admit....as grown up as they appear...after our egg hunt......I snickered as I listened to them laugh and just act retarded as they did with they were little.

We were off to Aunt Susan's and Uncle Jimmys house for a Easter Family gathering where we spent time with the rest of the family. As I reflected last night at the end of the evening.....it was amazing that all day......I had my guard up...and almost jinxed myself as I was really waiting for the "shoe to fall"....the drama....SOMETHING! AND to my surprise...it never did!

Pastor preached in his sermon......do any of you out there....ever think that may God is not really there....or is not REALLY listening????? Well Easter was the total affirmation that He is really there....He really cares....and He really loves me and answers every prayer I pray. As I see Natalie and Gina bond it makes my heart so happy to know that as sisters, they will continue to grow and become closer and closer.

Sometimes, we all doubt if the blue sky is empty up there or not....I know I have lately these past few dark months of my life. But God shown so true to me....that I will look up to the HEAVENS and know today......that it is not empty..........He is there......Angels are there.....and He cares about my problems, worrys, concerns....and the things that make my heart heavy and sad. So bloggers, on a wonderful note this evening.....I will say, Happy Blogging/Reading...and if your one of my bloggers or readers that wonders too......if God is listening.....well.......Yes, He REALLY is! So Until next time......Happy Blogging Everyone........

TIME FOR A TRIP


















Have you ever just felt like.....packing a bag...and taking off????? Well.......I did..... I have not posted since Tony died,....alot has happened in my life...and i THINK,,..maybe now I am ready to come back to the "SOCIAL" part of life. Life is hard....and does not come with a hand book! I have always blogged when I was inspired....and this is and was an inspiration......traveleing up 19.....and appoaching tallahassee......in cross city......I made a phone call.....and......realized that life moves fast! An old friend reminded me that life is short....and I soooooo respected the advice.

Arrived in Carrabelle ......lived there for 2 years in 1989 and realized it was a small town and after 2 years.....small town life was not my style. My friend Jackie.......is like a sister.......we had coffee......and rode through town....that took 7 min.......and just relaxed.....wow....I realized that there is so much......about life.......that money can not buy! I wonder....how much time do we spend.....wondering.........about the things that are free......Love.........time.....holding hands in the mall.....just a touch...and as my granpa said....just "SPOILING" each other....not sure that is possible is this day and age....but..... I know.....it must work both ways (by the way granpa never mentioned that part)....he knew he had that going on with granma!
How to spoil each other...is a motto and yes, must work both directions. I took some time to clear my mind.....my heart....spirit and soul....and after the reflection....I am back to say.........truely there are many things about life....that money can not buy. That is what I am looking for in life.....not the stuff, money.....not that it is not a survival...don't get me wrong....and the cars....well I do love my car and have been reminded that I "compliment" it.........but....the simple pleasures of life........that sometimes in time...disappear in our rat race life.....that somewhere....down the path for me.......hopefully I will find.....the life........and emotional attachment that comes with what my "pal" always tried to remind me of.........just enjoy life......hold hands......enjoy the sunsets....and sunrises everyday........Life........the things that money can not buy!

So I know this blog was just for me.....and totally an introduction back into the "social" world......a delcaration that I too.......will return a fabulous woman of valor......with integrity...and knowing that I am a woman who deserves all that life has to offer.......so bloggers....and LIFERS....you too....reach out and see what in life...is missing....that money can not buy!
So for now........"that is all I have to say about that" Night bloggers/readers....LOL...and you know who you are....thanks for the inspiration! Happy Blogging everyone.....I have returned...and I will be back!
