This post is proving to be interesting! I've typed and deleted the first line five times!! That means I need to either push the delete button...get off the computer...or just spit it out! Don't understand the hold up. I just wanted to share with you these really cute pillow covers that I've made for one of my sister's!
This would be sister number two...wait...there are four of us girls...(yes! I'm the oldest)...so would the sister next to me be sister number one or number two! (guess it depends on who's doing the telling) Hum! Doesn't matter...anyway, this sister is one of two that chose a teaching career a little later in life. ( I said...a little later...let's see...she's two years younger than me and I'm...) She reads this so I think I'd better just move on!
With both children gone from the nest, they decided to convert their son's room over to a home office for her. But, wanting to let the son remain always welcome, she needed to put a bed in the room. So, in comes a futon!
As futons go...her's is really nice! Just a lot of brown...so...
with pieces of this and that...
We took her office from plain and brown...to color and wow!
Don't like it?
Cover it up!
Oh wow!
It's been a year! One whole entire year.
I know that every person on the face of this great earth has moments that they look back on and think...
WOW!
I did...
this changed... me, my situation, my thoughts, my attitude...my life!
can you believe...
I hate that happened...
I'm so glad that happened...
I survived...
well...for me all of the above with this past year.
If you've read any other parts of this blog then you know that I used to work outside our home and now no longer do! The job I had was one I loved more than any other ever before it and had hoped it would be a part of my life for many years. But...it didn't turn out that way. The pain of that loss was great and it has taken a long process to get over and to go beyond.
and now...I say to those responsible for that change...
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! ( I mean that sincerely...I truly was done a favor and it just took some time to realize it)!
I now am the official "farm tech" of our operation and love every minute. ( well...maybe not every single minute...the gross stuff I could do without)
but...no clocks, no boss(except for Hubby Honey), no two days ever the same, no boredom and I could go on.
So...how do you celebrate...
You splurge on a new pair of "magic shoes" and you get out there and take a really long walk...almost two miles today...yipee...and you get healthy and stay healthy so that you can enjoy this..
life...
job...
family...
home...
friends...
Here's to you and to me and to choosing that glass to be "half full"!
