If you chance to meet a frown..do not let it stay!







Golly gee - what do I want to share today? Certainly not what is going on in my head. Soooo I thought I would share a couple of random pictures with you. The first is a picture of my little Jordan. He was just shaved like a lion. I think he is the "most" adorable cat. He loves to be shaved. I think it makes him feel lighter (dah). This makes me smile. The second is a really "cool" picture. This is our "granny mobile" after a late winter storm. I can look at this picture now and smile. I didn't much like it then but isn't it gorgeous now? I just wanted anyone who might possibly read this to smile. Smile at these pictures. Smile at the thought of a dear friend. Smile at a wonderful memory.
Sometimes life deals us a bad hand. Some of us have really bad hands, but that doesn't mean that our whole life needs to be like that. What am I trying to say. My "bad hand" right now is this stupid fibromyalgia. When I was first diagnosed I had a really bad month. Then things got better and I thought "if this is it, I can deal with it". It has been like that off and on for years. Sometimes bad - sometimes good - lots of people have it so much worse than me and although I hurt I could keep on going, being productive and living life. The last while I have been on the sometimes bad time. Now I know that there is so much that could be worse, but right now my fibro happens to be it. Poor, poor me!!!!!!!!! It is so hard to describe how I am feeling and it is hard to deal with it alone. But then I think of all the great advise I give others. I am not alone - I am facing a challenge, but I am not alone. I have so much to be thankful for. I know I have a Heavenly Father and that He knows me and loves me. I know that my Saviour sacrificed for me. I was born of goodly parents and I love my sisters. I love my eternal companion, Mike more than I can say. I adore our children - every one of them - Jennie, Jackie, Robbie, Addie & Davie. I love their choice in companions - Marc, Brent, Aliss & Jason. Words cannot describe the love I have for my grandson Dustin and my granddaughter Sariah. I love my dear "adopted" American daughter Janet & her family. How blessed I am. And to make everything wonderful, I just have to smell orange koolade - right Addie???
Talk later.

To make everything right in my world, someone needs to make bread. I love the smell! Bread or lilacs when they're in season. Listening to Dustin or you laugh makes me happy too.

Running past a window in my underwear so people only get a flash of the good stuff. Thats what makes me happy.

Or drinking water up side down to get rid of hiccups. It doesn't work, it's just good marketing by the folks at your local water shop. What they don't realize is that it's just plain fun.

Oh yeah, reading what Robb writes makes me smile too. He's such a corn dog!
