Alex Boye Shake It Off

Let’s Shake It Off Together!

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Most of you have probably already heard this song by Taylor Swift! But I love this Africanized version by Alex Boye! Not all the words apply, but after I listen to this the chorus helps me remember to Shake It Off!

Whether it is a person saying something ridiculous or a frustrating phone call with an insurance company, I am too good at internalizing the pain and anguish, which turns into increased physical pain! So, I must learn to Shake It Off!

Listen and sing with me! Listen enough times that it comes up during the day when you need it most!

A Beautiful Evening with Friends

, , , ,

What a BEAUTIFUL evening for dinner with our wonderful friends, Bruce and Sue! It was a MUCH NEEDED and extra special time on their new patio in the pine trees!

Bruce had built this last Fall for a family get together and he even designed and created AMAZING hanging lights! Sue dressed the table with beautiful dishes and even had Safari napkins just for me! She is so thoughtful! She also had this gorgeous box full of daisies and got to take some home!

We felt so special and like we were at an exotic retreat having dinner in the forest with our INCREDIBLE friends!

Thank you for blessing our lives, by being in it, Bruce and Sue! We love you both to pieces! 🌼🐝🐞🦋🌼

Pumpkin and Cookie Come Inside for Christmas

, , , , , , ,

Pumpkin pulled up her chair to the window so she could  see what was going on inside.

T’was the very day of Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

But Pumpkin was cold and she wanted inside, so she pulled up her chair and gave out a cry!

“Why does that tree get to come out of the cold? You said you loved us, much more than gold!”

Mommy saw Punkie standing there weeping, as she looked out the window her heart began sinking.

OK dear Pumpkin, I’ll let you in, but only for a minute and just in the den.

So she spread out some popcorn under the tree, enough for a quick and yummy, fun treat.

The rest of the story, soon you will know. Turn on the video to see how it goes!

 

Mandy Harvey Christmas Concert

Christmas Concert with Mandy Harvey

We were so elated to celebrate Christmas and my hubby’s birthday with Mandy Harvey at Dazzle!

This was our third Christmas Concert and I am so very thankful to be able to go and have never had a problem with chemicals there (air fresheners and perfumes).

It was SO great to see Mandy and give her big hugs! I have missed her! She has really been busy after being on America’s Got Talent in 2017! As you probably know, she placed forth!

We are so very proud of her and are elated that she is able to live her dream of singing and a making a difference in this world with her message of love and perseverance!

Spent Time with Family

, , ,

Had a wonderful visit with family! My sister and brother-in-law came for a visit and we saw my great niece, Avery Carey who now lives fairly close! We celebrated an early Thanksgiving together for the first time in 6 years (when my brother was still with us).

A special THANK YOU goes out to Chef@home – Mahani Duncan for providing our dinners so we wouldn’t have to worry about meals! Cannot tell you how HUGE this is!

It is so bitter sweet to see my family. I am thankful, but it is always so hard to watch them drive away!

Sorry, no photos. None of us felt well enough for photos.

My Happy Place

Happy Place? I Found Mine! Where’s Yours?

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Here’s My Happy Place!

My happy place is an outdoor pool! I feel free and relaxed when I am in the water! I can even get some exercise in the water, whereas it is virtually impossible for me on land. Pools are fairly available, compared to let’s say trying to travel somewhere to get to a beach. But I feel like I am at a resort when I am at an outdoor pool! And that makes them awesome!

Here Are Some More of Mine:

Outside with my animals (but not heat).
Spending time with friends and family
Disneyland or Disney World (someday again I hope)
At a wildlife preserve or conscientious zoo (rare)
Beach (only been a few times)
Going out to eat
Watching movies
Playing cards
Playing games
Watching fun videos online
Playing Scrabble online
Playing Solitaire online

So, Where is YOUR Happy Place?

Don’t have one? Keep searching, because we all need not just one, but many! We need ones that are rare, as well as ones that are very accessible. It could be anything from the beach to a restaurant to sitting on your couch watching a movie. List as many as you can think of and use them as refuge from the stress of this life!

Remember! We have to be intentional every day about finding joy and laughter, amidst the battles! We can’t just wait for them to fall onto our laps! It’s imperative!
