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.

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.

God's gentle ways....


It snowed on my son's wedding day. People came from Toronto, California, Cambodia, Minnesota, Florida, New Jersey, Seattle and we all attended the festivities of a 9 am tea ceremony, a 2 pm church wedding and a 6 pm reception. Not one glitch.
Some people had never seen snow.
I do believe in Miracles, I do, I do!
