Christmas morning 2012

Old drawer, new life

Cute

Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

All Grandma's girl wants for Christmas...

 

is her two adorable front teeth

 

It is what it is

For many years I did not carry a handbag, partially because I could never find one that made me take a second look.  I simply carried what I needed for that day in my pocket...debit card and occasionally my Costco card.  Drivers license, AAA card, a comb and pen had a permanent home in my car. It  is just what worked for me at the time.

Then last year just happened, life altering changes for the better; with those life altering changes, came a bit of a glitch... in the new girly girl, I soon evolved into.  Namely handbags, leather ones, many designer...to be exact.  I now find that  are more often than not...appear gorgeous to me handbags. My Amazon wish list continues to grow.  The first one I bought, only because; I was making a two week trip to Indiana. Pockets for carrying stuff and things, was not a realistic option.  Before I left for my trip, I found in Target, the perfect for me handbag, a camel colored one.  Even though it was not leather it felt as soft and it would serve a purpose. The fact that I adored it, was just icing on the cake.  It became and still is my go to purse.  Then the journey began...a couple of months later, I bought a red leather purse and there was no going back... to just pockets after that.

Searching Amazon has left me with many oohs and ahs, all expensive and for now only on my wish list.

Abundance of gratitude

for Tuesday
To keep me grounded is to remind myself of what is truly important; gratitude for the simple things.

Today I am grateful for the blessings
that God embraced my spirit with
...inner peace
...inner contentment
...a calm and humble spirit
...forgiveness
...gratitude
...spirituality
...knowing Him

In my ideal kitchen, there would never be enough jadeite green

Whispers of my childhood

Abundance of gratitude

for Saturday
To keep me grounded is to remind myself of what is truly important; gratitude for the simple things.

Today I am grateful for
...tomorrow and not having to work
...for not working,  blesses me to be able to go to church
...not once but twice, the second time...for a proud mama moment
...as my daughter has choreographed the Christmas play
...and tomorrow, I will nourish my spirit in more ways than one
...a day when life can get no better
