I think I smile each day when I wake up.  At least I hope I do!  Then I smile many times during the day as we laugh together at what the day brings us.  

Coffee always makes me smile... the sound of it making, the smell of the grounds as well as the aroma when I take each sip.  

There are lots of things that make each one of us smile.  Goofy smiles from others is a good example.  

I hope I put a smile on your face.  That always makes my day.  

Now I am off and running to get some things accomplished on this Wednesday!  

Joy!  Joyful!  What wonderful words and what wonderful feelings!  

Life is good as this year moves along with the first week in the past and joy in the future.  

I am anxious to see where this year will lead us and what blessings are in store.  

Whatever comes our way, it is nice to know that we are all family and have each.  

My wish for us all as we march into this winter season is joy and peace.  Have a joyful and peaceful year.    

Gosh there are times when I miss the sunshine so very much!  Now rain and thunderstorms, I love them.  But cloudy and dreary weather is not my thing.  

Do you just like quiet time to sit and think?  What do you think about or wonder about?  

On a cloudy day you might not even be able to see each step in this winding staircase.  There is not a room in our house that is dark even at night.  

There is beauty all around us!  I wonder where those steps lead?  I am not a hiker but I love to take off in the car and just turn down a road to see where it goes.  

Just about anyone who spends time with my hubby really loves to just sit and listen to his stories, mostly true, of his life.  He has an awesome memory (he is awesome) and each story is an adventure!  

One of my precious friends sent this recently and I love my quiet times saying prayers for each of my friends.  Yes, I am thinking of you and sending you... 

Good Morning!  I am thankful for a beautiful day.  This past week we got a little rain and by mid January we will drop into the 20's.  But today we should have some sunshine and get near 60 before the next several cold fronts.  

I am thankful for the ups and downs that keep our hopes alive and guessing, "What is next?"  

So whether you have lots of snow, some snow or no snow on the ground, let's be thankful for what we have now. 

 I seem to remember that many, many years ago, I might have prayed for snow.  What was I thinking?  I always tell others to be careful what you ask for and here I am hoping I don't get what I asked for.  

This Sunday, I am just trying to be thankful for His protection and the blessings I have right now.  

Don’t just ask Me to bless what you have already decided to do. Ask Me what I want for you. I may fill your heart with a dream that seems impossibly far beyond your reach. And that dream will be bigger than anything you can do on your own. But remember, nothing is beyond My reach.

happy caturday

happy friday...mk

I think we survived the first week of the year.  I hope it has been a wonderful week for you and your family.  

We are just chilling this week.  We will wait until next week to run our errands.  

Do you think the eagle and the bear are both chilling?  One thing for sure, they are not looking at each other.  

You are welcome to sit with us for a spell and chill.  We always have coffee and something to eat.  

Make every day a Happy Day whether you are just chilling or hard at work.  

really cold here today

day is a happy one..mk

I miss hearing from you Ann and hope you had a good Christmas!  I am sending Blessings & Hugs every day!  Pam

The first week of the year is flying by.  We are trying not to leave the house until all kids and teachers are back in school.  Too much Traffic!!!!  

I don't think I have given you your 2024 New Years kisses yet.  The only way to wish you the best year of your life!  

Maybe you are like my grandson and just not the hugging kind of person.  So I will just blow you a Good Year kiss.  

Even the Preacher at Church told my grandson that he will heal the hearts of many people with his Hugs.  So you know that I am always sending you... 

Today to be chilly here; high 42º.
I'm reading of a storm coming to
the northeast U.S. this weekend.
Be safe & warm wherever you are!
Happy Wednesday:) *hugs*

Middle of the week is here, sort of.  Wednesday and it is still winter.  I know, I have several months to go.  

At least it is a new year.  But the last year is gone.  Sometimes we just don't realize what new means.  

The wind is so icy and it just cuts right through you.  Even the snowman is not very happy.  

You will NOT see me outside on a sled.  In fact, if there is snow on the ground, you probably won't see me outside at all.  

The snowman or Rbt will have to bring the mail inside to me.  Now I am off to turn the electric heater on so don't get too close or you might melt.  

 Tuesday is always a good day... Tacos on Tuesday are our favorite.  

Also to see the sun coming up and the beautiful colors it creates each morning just seems to start the day off right.  

I love looking up because every minute of every day the sky is completely different and you won't see it like that again, unless you take a picture.  

Keep on asking Him for your desires because you never know when He will grant you your wish.  His Blessings will pour down on you when you least expect it.  Be sure to say Thank You!  

We made it to 2024!  At least I hope we both made it!  Here we go!  I wonder where this year will lead us.  

Did you stay up last night?  Did you shoot off fireworks?  Or did you fall asleep long before midnight?  

May this year bring you and your family the best of everything that God has in store for you.  You know that I wish you every day loads of Blessings when I visit with you!  

Our prayer for you!  

Hope your new year will outshine the
old in blessings, friend. *hugs*

Sunday Blessings to you and your family on this last day of 2023.  

Are you ready for all the fireworks?  All of our neighbors set off fireworks at EVERY occasion.  

And every one of them has dogs and maybe a cat.  Our 3 dogs do NOT like them or thunder or lightning.  You would think after all these years they would get used to it.  

Help us to leave this year behind us with forgiveness and find Peace with the new year we are about to start.  

Hey, it is the last time we will see a Caturday in 2023.  You know what is coming, don't you!

Winter is coming!  OK, maybe some of you have already had a taste.  The wind this past week has been brutally icy!  

I know the snowmen love winter, and some of you crazy people do too.   I'm just crazy about you being my friend.  

Did you know that Spring is just 81 days away.  I love beautiful blooming flowers... and warmer temperatures.  

So for now we will enjoy that Caturday is here with a smile!  Because there is so much to look forward to in 2024.  

Yes this Friday, the last one in 2023, is a blessing from God.  What a year it has been!  

Just think of all the things God has made and think about bees and how they make honey.  

Bees have been around a long time and the honey they make is the best.  

God made bees very unique just like He made you and I so different and unique and yet He made us friends.  

So here is some advice to take into the new year from God's Honey Bee.  

The sun is shining and cool days
are ahead. It must be winter! :) 💙

Thoughtful Thursday is a day to reflect as this year comes to an end.  

Think about all the beautiful things you have seen over the years.  

Especially those places close to home or even in your own neighborhood.  

Remember all the wonderful people you have met over the years even if some of them are just online.  

God has done some unusual things in our lives and be thankful even if we don't understand them all.  

I am blessed by your friendship and I am sharing those blessings with you!
