Florida here I come…….. I can’t wait to walk around the sun and sand in multiple places in Florida. I will make sure to keep you posted as I go.
If you ask me how I’m doin I would say I’m doin just fine
I would lie and say that you’re not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I’m forced to face the truth
No matter what they say, I’m not over you
Not over you
As my vacation gets closer and closer, it gives me a reality check on just how much I miss the sunshine in my life. We all think that its just a couple of months; no biggie and before we know it the weather will break and the sun will shine again. Well…. in my life, I depend on the sunshine to give me the Vitamin D that I need to function. Using false sources will get a person by but it is not the same. Nothing can replace the sun and my heart rate increases as I think about the basking in it daily……. I need to relocate permanently!
Breathtaking. The moon just set off this picture and just added to the light show that we were able to partake in on Saturday night. Everywhere we looked everything was just striking. Such vibrant colors with just the right amount of laughter in the air. Cold enough it was trying to snow but nothing accumulated on the ground. The roar of the water from the falls was just the icing on the cake for a beautiful experience that I must see in the Summer months when everything is green and lush.
What an awesome trip to Canada. I know it was cold out and not everyone would travel North in the Winter months unless they were snow skiing or sledding. But we wanted to see the falls in the winter months. We stopped on the way at Kittling Ridge Winery and was extremely pleased. The Brandy Ice Wine that they make was phenomenal but my favorite sample of the day was Eight Below. The temperature was cold and windy as you can see by the conversations and family bonding were priceless. I love my family dearly and enjoyed the memories that we made.
“If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.” ~ Flavia Weedn
I feel like one of those thousand pieces today, and I plan on picking myself back up and starting again. Because Dreams are worth the smiles that they make…..
Niagara, here we come…… I just can’t wait. My sister and I, along with her two daughters are making a trip to Niagara ON. We have decided to travel with no plans of when to arrive or where we are staying. It should be fine since this is not the summer rush and we are not going to be in any rush. I will post pictures of this trip once we start clicking…….
Loss of Life hurts in many ways. Whether it be a family member, friend or even a long time companion. Today is a very somber day for me. My Min Pin of 11 1/2 years has fallen ill and I just can’t bare to see her suffer any longer. She will be sadly missed because she was such a big part of our lives at only 10 pounds. Sandy – you will be sadly missed….
Family – God Love Them…..
As the Christmas Holiday passes and we prepare for the New Year that is fastly approaching; I sit back and smile at the comments that I hear others make. Things like “now I know why I always drink during family gathers”, or “I only scheduled one day to see my family because anymore than that is just too much”. Do these people have any idea how lucky they are to even have family? Do they think about anything other than a reason to get away from their family?
I have a wonderful family and it is extremely large in size. It is loud with lots of active children running around at all times and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I can’t imagine pure silence. I can’t imagine no one around me. I can’t imagine not having my beautiful family all around me telling me just how things should be done if they were in control……. GOD I LOVE MY FAMILY……
Fishing – Does anyone know anything about Fishing?
As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him. Mark 1:16-18 Until the Second Vatican Council, Catholics could be identified by their eating of fish on Fridays. Fish and Catholic seemed to go hand in hand. The Greek word for fish, ichthus, is an acrostic for the Greek words that translate to Jesus Christ Son of God Savior. The fish symbol is pervasive in Christian art and literature with the fish being the oldest Christian symbol. It was used by persecuted Christians as a code name for Christ in order to avoid arrest and execution by Roman authorities. When a picture of a fish appeared outside a Roman home it meant that the Lords Supper would be observed that night.
Being Fishers of Men is a daily part of everyone of our lives but yet so many of us only fish in December.
