Gerber Daisies & Thoughts on Thursday!

sorry friends
today is a day of feeling overwhelmed

like there is not enough time
in the day - the week

to do what I want - need
to get done

i'm a positive person
hope for the best
believe in good vs. evil
the power of prayer

today is a tough day for me
blah
blah

so i'm working, really working on images

thoughts of things that bring me joy

it works for me... and i remember how blessed i am

i'm pushing, fighting, trying, losing, winning...

do you understand - are you having a day like me

what do you do?

Spring is coming... I pray it is soon!

gerbers, lol - i think of gerbers and a big hug from someone that cares

      perky bright colorful symmetrical alive humorous spring

                                           The heart takes perseverance

As something most essential

To bring down

God's Compassion-Satisfaction

Into the heart-pocket of the seeker.

Elegance

by Lucille van Onselen-Zunckel

A Double Acrostic Poem in reverse

Elegantly turned out, so much style

Ladylike to the core, classic

Eau-de-cologne daintily applied, like poetry in motion

Gem was definitely of another era

Ariel another one, now, all agog

Naiad, the Faerie Queene

Casting their magic spells, ever graceful

Emerald is her name, very fashionable

I'm scooting around with the fairies today...have to run!

In search of my own elegance! Jennifer

Peeking through the snow....

"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush."

                   Doug Larson

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!

                         Mark Twain

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. Ruth Stout

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.      Anne Bradstreet

Gratitude....Thankfulness....The Power of Faith

When asked if my cup is half-full or half-empty my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup.

Sam Lefkowitz

I was concerned about finances...

who isn't?

but it's been

tight lately.

Positive: I have been selling a lot

of the cards I've designed and

new stores and galleries are buying my cards too.

Positive: John (my hubby) is still working

 70 hours a week but he's getting a little more

in his paycheck.

My hard workin' truck drivin' man.

Positive: My son, Matt and his gf Connie,

are settled and working in Korea

 and enjoying themselves.

Their pics have been cool and

I will post them soon.

Negative & Positive: Autumn ( our mini Daschund)

is 6 months now and pees and poops outside

occasionally. She hasn't gone into "heat"

and despite tight funds...

we have an appointment at the vet.

Negative: A favorite student of mine

lost her father in a tragic Metro

accident this week. She has severe

health issues as does her mom.

This is always very sad but I

experienced the gleam in her eyes

when Dad would bring her lunch...

they had such a connection.

He was a sweet Dad, a nice, nice man.

I had a long talk with God that night.

Positive: I went for a haircut and my stylist

bought 8 of my latest cards which deducted $24

off my bill! And.. she invited me to go with her to a prayer

group she attends (something I've been looking for).

Is my cup half full or half empty? You know - I have faith.

I don't really ask myself that. I just put myself in God's hands.

Somehow...we have a good day and thing's work out.
