Goofing Off....Again

Kathy was having a bag party tonight and even though I don't need any more bags I went to support Kathy. (if that's supporting~going with no intention of buying)  Kathy cracks me up.  Kathy is a smart gal but a little scatter-brained at times.  She seriously makes me laugh out loud.  Did she really text Connie after 11:30 pm the night before reminding her about the party?  Connie replied after receiving the text and Kathy replied again at that late hour.  Kathy couldn't remember texting that late. There's more....there's always more! I just laugh and smile...and love the girl!

Connie made my day as we were walking in together.  She asked how I was and told me that she thinks of me almost every day and wonders how I am doing.  How nice is that?  Connie delivers mail to my son Kevin and so I know that is what triggers her mind but still it's nice of her and it made me feel good.  I met Connie at one of Kathy's card classes.

 We listened to the spill on the bags and then we got silly.  Not everyone got silly but a few of us did.  Kathy pulled out a few masks that her grand kids made and a few others she had.  We set up the camera and......well we did our thing.....we made memories.

It's fun making memories and being silly.  It makes every situation a bit more fun when the camera comes out.  What a bunch of Goofs!

Life is to be Enjoyed....not just Endured!!!                                                          September 17, 2013

Just Look Up

It was late start for Jared today and so I asked him to walk with me this morning since Robin was gone.  It was a beautiful morning.  The air was crisp and nice....it felt like fall.  Walking back home down our street the sky was beautiful.  If we would have been looking down at the road we would have missed it.  It took my breath away and I was so glad I had my phone with me so I could get a picture of it.  It made me think how important it is in life to LOOK UP!  There is so much we might be missing if we keep our focus on the ground.  Looking up can offer us hope and peace.

Life is beautiful and good when we focus on the good things around us.  Some times we miss the beauty because we are looking down.  Our focus gets stuck on the things that are hard and stress us out.  Those kind of things will always be but there is so much more that we miss and all we need to do is look up....pay attention.  Acknowledge the good and watch what happens.....we notice more good. It seems like more good things are happening but really it's our focus...the good has always been there. So when you are feeling down and discouraged....LOOK UP!
