living

" i don't want to get to the end of my life

and find that

i lived just the length of it.

i want to have lived the width of it as well."

a new day to:

make discoveries

joy in

explore

appreciate

be feisty

do something new

amaze yourself

be brave

be daring

fulfill a dream

start something new

be patient

relax

see things differently

put positive energy to

live

take flight

be passionate

let go

throw some bright colors on this "canvas" of ours

the older i get, the more i want to seize the day!

you've got a friend

we have tickets to see

james taylor and carole king

tonight.

not the first time we have spent time with these two....

we have listened to their songs for years and years

and

played and sang their songs for years and years.

that started before we were ever married.

sometimes it was out on the front steps in eugene, oregon

singing and sipping boones farm strawberry wine;

sometimes with a group of friends,

sometimes with family...

and it continued when our kids were born....

and they listened and sang with us.

i am sooo looking forward to spending time with old friends tonight.

just a reminder!

i did....have you?

*sigh* no more dust....for awhile!!!

we are finally done laying the wood flooring in two of the rooms!!!

it feels wonderful...and we LOVE it.

my poor husband will be taking a break before he starts on the rest of the house...

this job is NOT for sissies!

feels good to be back to "normal" and maybe i'll be better about blogging! maybe :-)

happy mother's day!

a mother is a person

who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people,

promptly announces she never did care for pie! :-)

Happy Mother's Day!!!
