My posts should now also be seen over on Typepad - if I did everything correctly!!!

Too Long...

It's been too long since I last posted here -- almost 6 month!!! Chalk it up to having started working on my MBA. I can't seem to find the time anymore -- except for when I can't sleep like tonight. I'm really going to try & post more often. I've found so many bloggers that I find such inspiration from.

And, I really want to share my feelings & thoughts about them & about life in general. Just like everything else, I simply have to find the time to fit it in, if it's important enough to me -- & it is, because it is a part of me expressing myself creatively, even if no one reads it.

New Beginnings

The beginning of a new year is always so energizing to me. I'm filled with new ideas, new dreams, new hopes. As I continue to explore the world of blogs, I've discovered so many beautiful ones. The newest one is one by Layla called "TheLetteredCottage." https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRM5LzkIoxyu4bMW6kyW6XeuUInM2Cj7Ex8EZonu-WGtCs6gV-VOvEhCCwNq0F74JY2ZKj32c7xzBJj5Z53I_ADEzqKEc49UDzyLhzHNPEvGTpc_BEL3opCSd1JL6oBQ4iUrgz7HGn8fw/s1600-h/Lettered+Cottage+Icon.jpg

One of my challenges this year is to work on my own blog - lots of learning for me to do to get make mine look as good as what I see out there. But, I see so many inspiring ideas, that I'm motivated to try.

I'll also be starting this month on my craft/sewing area in our spare bedroom/library!!! I'm so excited about that! Once I have it finished & get my digital camera, I'll post a picture of it here. I've been missing a workspace all my own for a long, long time! But not for much longer!

Fading Year

Where has this year gone!!?? It amazes me that each year seems to pass more quickly than the one before - a sign of getting older, I suppose. Tomorrow, I'll be 52 years young & I have never felt better about myself! If I could just get Harry to stop lying to himself & to me about his diabetes. But, I have let go of trying to control that situation, as there is little to nothing more I can do about it. He knows the consequences of his continued non-compliance & I have told him that I will have to deal with those consequences, but that he will have live with them. My job will easier than his.

Thanksgiving is just about a week & a half away & all-in-all I have so much to be grateful for. My job continues to challenge me & make me happy. My Farmgirl Chapter, new this year in my life, is small but has given me new friends & new fun. It's brought me much-needed female friendship & fellowship.

My family is well & for that I am always grateful. So, mostly, life is good to me & I enjoy each day & its gifts.
