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 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...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
