Kreativ Blogger Award


How very sweet of my new blog friend, Carol, to leave me this award and tag!

Now, it seems I am supposed to list 10 things that make me happy and tag six more people.

Here I go.... TEN THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY

1. My husband when he smiles at me.

2. Spending time with my daughter, talking, doing make-up, talking about hair, boys, love, God...

3. My son, Aaron, and the funny way he loves me.

4. Thinking about seeing our oldest son in Virginia this next week.

5. Watching my mom walk without a cane, walker, or crutch, after over three years of waiting- (even though her doctor MIGHT be a little upset) to see her on her feet brings lots of happy!

6. The beauty of the earth...the wind, the trees, the clouds, the air, the beach, flowers, snow, sun, the mountains...all that God created on the earth makes me happy.

7. My friends...to see their phone numbers on my caller ID, to see email from them in my inbox, and knowing that God has blessed me with people to live my life alongside with.

8. Babies. Oh, how I love to see and love on babies. I was so, so happy as I kissed on my great niece, Makena, this past weekend. And I cannot wait to see my niece at Thanksgiving. Babies make me happy.

9. My family, all together, having a meal, sharing stories, spending time. I am happy every time we have a family meal, whether it be 3 of us or 30 of us, to be together is always a joy.

10. My time with God. The time in the morning as I sit with my coffee, reading His word, praying, or the time I spend singing praises either in a worship service or in my car, or the time I spend reflecting on the moments worth remembering at the end of the day. Time with God, and the many ways He speaks to me, assures me and reassures me, teaches me, loves me and is always with me. My God makes me happy.

Okay, so I will tag 6 people. Play if you want.

Pam, Tina, Kim, Cindy, Lelia, and Laura

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...
