Petal Pushin'

so, what should have been a 30 minute commute to work took an hour and 45 minutes due to 1/2" inch of snow, ice, rain and traffic accidents. i thought with patience of Spring....Liar, Liar, pants on fire!

petal (ptl)
One of the often brightly colored parts of a flower surrounding the reproductive organs. Petals are attached to the receptacle underneath the carpels and stamens and may be separate or joined at their bases. As a group, the petals are called the corolla.

 

The Rose and the Bee

 

If I were a bee and you were a rose,

Would you let me in when the gray wind blows?

Would you hold your petals wide apart,

Would you let me in to find your heart,

If you were a rose?

"If I were a rose and you were a bee,

You should never go when you came to me,

I should hold my love on my heart at last,

I should close my leaves and keep you fast,
If you were a bee."

Sara Teasdale

Sailing off towards the weekend... God's Fingerprint's

so I'm sailing off towards the weekend with a lot on my mind...

thoughts of all the new people I've met this week while blogging

how thankfully I come home to new flowers blooming in my gardens every day

how exhausted I am working  full time job (my co-worker is out on sick leave for the rest of the school year)
&  a part-time job
and the usual home and hearth keeping

lucky to be employed I know!

that I wish Autumn would behave and not be ... well AUTUMN

I really really love her...honest!

I have 1 more MRI to clear to 
 mark 1 year 
from my Kidney Cancer surgery 5/09

My step-mom -"MOM' had heart surgery yesterday - is in Florida - I'm in Maryland and I hope you'll help me by keeping her in your prayers.

God's fingerprints on my life?

Why that's HE knows all about my worries

and joys and sees me through

and that I have friends like you to share it with!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you do and thank you.

1:10 your sweet comments helped me so  - another busy day

From my student aide Nick - a "thank you" from his family - he's had very serious health problems his 4 years of high school and this is his BIG year. What's in the box... happy, cheery, sun flowers. GOD...you enter my heart every day ....thank you for my friends.

Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

huff, puff,

moan, groan,

sigh, cry

nothing

left

to

give...

zip nada nothing!

all I can say is that my day has been a

circus and I'm running on empty! The Health Room has been insane, I meet with my Financial Planner at 4:00, my husband doesn't want left overs and I have a puppy in training, laundry to do.

Have you ever had a day where a shower sounds like walking up the Steps of the

Empire State building?

Lord have mercy I'm beat!

Never Enough Time...or so they say!

1. laundry done 1. call a friend

2. unload dishwasher 2. send a card

3. weed the garden 3. watch the birds

4. fold the wash 4. hug your child

5. make dinner 5. a favorite meal

6. clean a closet 6. donate to a charity

7. wash a window 7. let things go

8. hang up clothes 8. hug your child

9. make your bed 9. love your self

10. brush the dog 10. Praise the Lord

Never enough time - but time for those we love.

Take time for yourself.

Take time for GOD
