Last Day of 2012

Believe ~ In New Beginnings by Ann Marquette

It has been a good year.  I am grateful for all the many blessings, including good health, work with a good company (very close to the house, and great people), the rain to nourish the land, sunshine, a nice place to live, the ability to pay my bills, to eat, the times of sharing with family and friends.  The greatest blessings are the wonderful people in my life.

I am looking forward to a fresh new year.  A recent teaching about The One Thing we all have within us that we need to commit to inspired me to set a goal for my “One Thing” (actually two) to accomplish by the end of 2013 🙂

A new year…an even better attitude and more gratitude.

May you all be richly blessed in the New Year.

My November…3rd and 4th

 

Autumn Leaves - Greenville Falls Park 2010

A great couple days filled with sunshine, both externally and internally. I am grateful every day for my blessings, and some of those are on my list of joys.

 

 Waking up to a brand new day.

 The beauty of the autumn leaves. 

 Sharing lunch with a friend…Barbara.

 The gift of a special chocolate cake given to me from Barbara…yum!

 Hearing my Brother’s voice over the phone.

I Wish for You…Repost for my friend Trey

I hope this will be a little light for Trey who is going through a rough time right now.

Each new day ~ even if it is raining
I wish you to see sunshine and flowers

Every night ~ even if cloudy skies
I wish you see only star light and moon glow

Each day ~ especially if you feel down
I wish you a special visitor
A humming-bird, a butterfly to make your
Heart Smile

Anytime ~ if you feel alone
I wish you the unmistakable feeling
Of a hug from Jesus

Always I wish you unlimited Heart Smiles

Love April 1st ~ always reminds me of time for the buds of new beginnings to blossom

New Start by Ann Marquette

A great day began with blue skies and sunshine, when it was expected we would have rain this morning.

A friend who recently had two stints put in her heart’s clogged artery was told by her cardiologist, after doing an echocardiogram, he didn’t think her heart doing as well as it should and that she needed to have a defibrillator implanted. He referred her to a specialist surgeon who does these implants at Emory Hospital. I took her this morning and after meeting with him she came out smiling. He advised that she may not need one of these devices. It has not been three months yet since her stints were put in, and apparently it takes that long for the heart to start doing much better. He will see her again the end of April and do another echocardiogram to see how she is doing then. Ah thank you God for this hopeful good news.

While waiting at the doctor’s office for this friend, I did some reading of the inspirational kind. Hope and joy fills my heart when I read the stories of other’s coincidence experiences which changed their lives for the better.

Great time to rekindle A Blank Slate within myself to begin anew with hope, confidence, faith, and excitement for surprises to come https://amarquette333.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/a-blank-slate/  

Happiness is ~ Heart Smiles, and I have one right now. Do you?
I wish you many Heart Smiles https://amarquette333.wordpress.com/2011/02/20/what-made-your-heart-smile-today-or-any-day/

Where were you today?

This was written for last night’s blog, but I didn’t get around to posting it 🙂

I looked for you this morning. Thought you would be here, so I was expecting you.

After running an errand and back home by mid-morning, I hoped you would be here soon. A couple of hours later, after getting a few things done around the house and having lunch, still no sign of you.

I wondered all day about you. Know how you brighten my day when you are here I was looking forward to seeing you. But, you never came.

I missed you ~ my SUNshine!

Traveling Through Frozen Snow, Ice, Sunshine

Taj Mahal, Agra, India (photo from Wikipedia)

This morning I hear the crunch of ice and frozen snow as a few neighbors head out to work or run an errand on our still dangerous roadways. Although the temperatures are staying in the freeze zone, the sun is finally out. They expect the winds and sunshine should help to melt our frozen streets sometime this afternoon.

Thankfully I don’t have to go out yet. To cure my cabin fever I am going to travel around the world through the beautiful travelogue of my friend in India, filled with her beautiful photographs and her gift of words. So look out world here I come.
