My Thoughts In A Jar ::

                       Happy New Year! As my day started in this New Year. I was reminded of an article in a magazine I read, months before. This article was about a Mother who had several children. Everyday, she would put her thoughts on paper,a  napkin, even a discarded cashier slip she had on hand. Hoping God would listen to her thoughts and come to her rescue. Some of her messages were for family, friends and people she didn't even know. Like a family member's friend who was going through financial problems, because of a lay off. A thought would go into her thought box. If I remember correctly, it was only a shoebox. For example: " God,  Please find Harry a job! " Nothing more. Mind you, she didn't even know Harry.
                     As time went on, this Woman grew old and went in a nursing home. The box was discovered by her Daughter, while cleaning out her closet. Years of messages, words, feelings about life and hope. Her Daughter couldn't believe she wrote to God everyday. Silently, and no one knew of this.Can you imagine?

                     She was so touched in reading all her notes. Memories she will hold on forever. I was touched also. I laugh ted, I cried, I weep ed. Mind you in the Dr.'s office waiting patiently, to be seen by my primary. As I read on. I wonder now, if anyone was watching me. Hum?
                     I started a Thought Jar, today. Let's see if I can continue on  her same path. As this woman, who I call ''Margret''did. LOVE. My first thought for the thought jar today.More thoughts to come in the New Year.
                     LOVE grows....
                                                                                                                 Good Wishes,

Recycling for the New Year

                                    

                                 Do you see your Christmas card represented here? Don't worry if you didn't send me one this year. I didn't want to put anyone on the spot.I hate to throw them out ,every year. I probably have yours from last year! Really!One more is special than another. So, this morning  I was feeling crafty.I made this funky banner out of recycled Christmas cards. I received this year. Hey, why not. Hope this inspires you to be creative with just anything you have  on hand, before it goes out in the trash.I just want to take a minute and wish  wish everyone a  Happy New Year. May good things come to you in 2011. I can't believe it will be 2011. Can you ? Inspire, Create and Recycle. See you in the New Year!

                                                                     Peace and Love,

Gloves, Mittens?

I had a very Merry Christmas, did you?  Getting ready for the Blizzard that is heading my way, towards the East Coast. Blah, Blah! My Daughter wants to go to the Mall this morning, to do some exchanges. As for me, I'm taking it slow and will go along for the ride. Getting out those long johns. Baby, it's cold outside. Remember these mitten holders? Do they still make them? Cute and functional. Hey, I could use these. I am always loosing my gloves. Ha, Ha.They are just out for display. Winter is here. Need to get out the shovels. At this moment, I wish I was a bear.Really!!

Stay warm and cozy.
