Be Thankful For The Little Things

How many of you wake up in the morning, and take a moment to reflect on how lucky you are to live yet another day on this earth. If your like most of us, we dont want to get out of bed, let alone do the daily grind that we have to do, whether it be work, housework, child care, etc. Thats how I start most of my mornings, however this morning was different.

I got up and got on Facebook, uploaded pictures, and as I was uploading pictures, I realized just how lucky I am to wake up each day, knowing I have a wonderful family, a husband who takes care of me, kids who love me (most of the time) a soon to be 2 year old grandson, another grandbaby on the way, a nice house to live in, and the backyard.

As I looked outside the kitchen window, I was drawn outside, the ground was wet, the dew glistening on the plants and grass, the sun touching the parts of the yard not covered by the trees. The birds were singing (actually they sing all hours of the day and night here), the earth smelled all woodsey.

I am truly blessed to be alive yet one more day, to ponder about all the little things we should be thankful for, and take for granted. As the saying goes "Take time to smell the roses"

Ghost Stories

The other night Dad and I were watching the T.V. show Ghost Whisperer. The main theme for the night wasn't so much about the ghosts she sees, but on a man who "died" and was brought back to life. Well its seems that he brought back a special gift with him, the ability to hear and speak with ghosts. The lady who the show is about was explaining to him that people who have near death experiences sometimes bring back these abilities, 3 of which she mentioned as...
1) The ability of seeing and hearing ghosts, and them hearing you.
2) The ability of only hearing ghosts, and being able to speak with them.
3) The ability of smelling them when they come into a room, and that they smell foul.


OK, so here is where the strange and eerie part comes into play, your dad fell asleep during the show and didn't catch the 3 abilities. So I was going over the show with him and was explaining the 3 statements mentioned above. As I got to #3, no sooner had I said foul smell, and suddenly our house started smelling way, way bad......gagging bad, eye watering bad......no kidding.


Seems a poor unfortunate skunk had met his end on the road in front of our house.
Coincidence?
You decide.

"Blogger's Block"

I seem to have a bad case of "Blogger's Block", a condition that causes certain individuals to go mad when they cannot come up with a thing to share. Well ok I have lots of things I want to say, however have to refrain from saying said things in fear it will offend someone who reads it, no matter how innocent it is. I seem to have a knack for doing that sort of thing.
So sadly, instead of writing cute little happenings, I havent written anything at all. The saying "Family Drama" comes to mind. We have alot of that as well. Such is life.
