So I have been gone for a while.  I bet no one missed me.  My computer had a charging problem so I had to restrict my time on it.  I am borrowing a computer now and see no future for my old computer.  It will work off of battery but will not charge or run from the electrical plugin.  So I have to charge the battery on another computer that does not have a good hard drive.  But they only run the computer for about two hours and it is very slow.  
But for now I have a loaner till it is needed back for when they go to classes.  I do not have my art programs on this computer and found that I miss that most of all. 

Now is the time of year for all the new life from the spring to start making its way in the animal world.
I love watching all the little animals running around.  
We have Bobcats, Foxes, Skunks, Chickens, Opossum, Cats, Dogs, Cows and Sheep.
Also Deer and Bear can not forget those.
All I have to do is sit on my back porch and will see one or a few of these in no time at all.
Enjoy life

It is that time of year again. 
It is cold and the snow is starting to fall.
I wish everyone a safe season and a blessed one.
There are many good things to do in this kind of weather.
I love to build snowmen and igloos with the kids.
Go sledding down the hill and have hot chocolate with marshmallows and candy canes.
Bake fresh bread in the oven and make the house smell delightful.
Take a walk in the woods and enjoy what there is to see and hear.
Sitting all cozy on the couch cuddled up watching a movie.  
Sharing the holidays with family and friends.
Now if I can keep the pleasant things in mind the bad parts should not bother me so much.

There are so many things that are taken for granted.
I see and hear all that is going on in the world.
I have my own problems but when they start to over whelm I sit back and think.
What do I have that I should be thankful for?
Be glad that there are things that do not go wrong.
But as it goes if everything was perfect we would not realize how good we have it.
Some have more than others, some might have a long list and some a short.
But there is that one thing that is taken for granted when it is gone you are lost.
I found out today that my 5 year old cousin was diagnosed with cancer.
And that just brought everything crashing down.  
There are so many kids in my extended family that are battling this despicable disease.
It reminded me even though there are things not going the way that I want to be ever so thankful that my children are healthy.
My heart breaks for their family unit.  And for the fight I know he will have to do.
So do not forget to be grateful for what you have.  
It could be taken away in a moment.  

SO WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMMENT JUST THINK ABOUT IT. 

I was reminded today that life is a Gift.
I spent the whole day with my oldest Son.
And it was such a soothing feeling to spend time with him and get to know him more.
We sang with the music, talked, shopped, picked up the minions from school.
Shopped some more, Sang as loud as we could going down the road.
And I got to see him light up with what he is planning and building.
Just remember Life is a Gift.
Smile and have a good time.  
There is a silver lining in things just relax smile and enjoy.
