Hugs From My Heart

Good Monday Morning...

Did you have a good weekend...



I relaxed around the house with Blue Eyes... read, tossed the ball to this crazy dog forever, spent some time with God...and ate lots of eggs. I'm addicted to this "new to me" way of steaming eggs that I found here.

Can we say PERFECTION!!!

Blue Eyes wasn't into eggs, but made his own waffles.

Hey, I offered.

;)


Our oldest stopped by with his dogs, this one is going to have pups soon...


This one is the biggest, sweetest, lug you've ever seen.  Is it a chocolate lab thing?



and this is ending up being a much better book then I expected...


I'm still in my p.j.'s.

My 6&1/2 minute eggs are ready.

Have a great Monday.

Looks Like Some Good Stuff


From this book...


“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”

-John Muir-

                                                        Hope you find yours today.

It's Saturday...

.

This reminds me so much of my mom.

She had seven children, (four of them boys)

No time for herself.

Especially not for make up.

She always had on red lipstick.

Bright red lipstick!

Yeah...

SHE ROCKED!

GW Books

I'm on a kick...

I can't seem to not stop at Goodwill and check out their books.

This is what I've picked up today. (and yes, this is my house in the background.)

~Broken for You, Stephanie Kallos

~The Indispensable Guide to Practically Everything Prayer, Marcia Ford

~The Great Physicians Rx for Health and Wellness, Jordan Rubin

~Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn, Kris Radish

Each one quite different from the other.

Each one wiped off with a paper towel, soaked with Rubbing Alcohol because it makes me feel better. :)

Click onto the book title for the link to the description of each.

Head to Goodwill this weekend.

Look for a good read for yourself.

Share.

Oh yeah, and all for a little over $7.

Simply Done...



Do you ever just wake up in the morning and just know.

Know that it is time.

I woke up this morning knowing today I would once again, "deactivate" my Face Book.

I've done this before.

It brought a lot of peace.

I need more peace.

I've had friends say to me in the past, "don't deactivate, just stay off"

Doesn't work for me.

There should be a 12 step program for Face Book De-Activators.

I think I'll start one...

Could you put it on Face Book for me?

:)

I feel better already.

-4 In Maine... It's Wicked Cold!!!

Temperatures here in Maine are more seasonable these past few days...


Today, I will be sitting VERY close to this...




Finishing up my second Sandra Brown book...


I've recently discovered Ms. Brown and her books, when I stumbled upon the first one that caught my eye (at Goodwill), and is by far one of the best books I've read...


Here is a bit from the author herself, on my current book ...Rainwater.

Enjoy your day today.

And if you live in Maine, pick up a good book, (I suggest anything Sandra Brown), a cup or two of hot tea, a warm blanket, and read, read, read.

And P.S...I have started a goal to read all of her books, and Goodwill has a great collection.

IT'S AWFULLY TEMPTING!!!

This young couple look smart to me...


I don't know their story, and these photos are not my own, but boy... these pictures say a lot don't they?


Let me tell you what they say to me...

Resourceful
Creative
Economical


Simple


Peaceful
Tranquil
Content


Just plain smart.


With the economy the way it is going...more and more taxes being taken from the working people...

These two could be on to something.

Besides, they can travel allll over the country if they chose.

Wednesday Stuff

I know I have probably mentioned this book a time or two, but I think of it daily, and so I mention it again here, encouraging you to get a copy, read it, and let me know what you think.

I got mine, (actually two copies), at GW... Goodwill.

;)


It is already January 9th.

What. The. Heck!!!


As of late, this "girl" (our 4th child after 3 boys), has taught me a few things...

At 17 going on 25, she is still who she always was...
     Kind.
     Helpful.
     Genuine.
     Sincere.
     Hardworking
     Forgiving.
     Creative.
     Insightful.
     Wise.


This was her, Christmas Eve, on the island, of our kitchen.  I post this picture because it is her.

 Katelyn.

I often miss the little girl she was. Only because she was so wrapped up in loving and enjoying her mum, dad, and brothers...and now she is growing up, and her brothers, Dad and I , are no longer her world.
But I have come to appreciate, look forward too, and know, that the woman she is growing to be, is just, well, someone her Dad and I are so very proud of. Even when we go through difficult seasons.  She is my Baby Girl, and I so love her.



This guy, Fred, was an old soul.  We got him at the Humane Society last year, and his time has come and gone.  I named him after my dad, (who I loved deeply, and died when I was 14).

I am not, and never have been, the sort to let an animal live through debilitation. I think it is disrespectful  and selfish.

I was brought up in a world/house where you deal with what your given, and go on.

Period.

I am a practical girl.

Black or White.

A lot of people don't agree with me.

Sometimes, I don't agree with myself.  (if that even makes sense).

But a friend of mine said to me, ( not to long ago),

"Don't second guess yourself  Lisa"

She was referring to my photography.  Which, is something I needed to hear.  But realized that I needed to apply that to everything in my life.

Thank you Deb. P...  Not a day goes by that I don't remember what you said.  I so needed to hear, digest, and live that.  :)

Fred is missed by Rita... (cat on the right)



Who was named after my mother, and adopted the very same day Fred was.  Rita cleaned, loved on, and brought out the best in old Fred.

Since Fred has gone, she hangs out with me more, and is sitting in a basket, beside my laptop, cleaning herself obsessively, even as I type.

 :)

She is a sweet cat.

_____________________________


Today, Wednesday, has been such a good day.

I mean, REAL good.

A day when I so feel God's presence in every step I take, every person I see.

My heart is overwhelmed with gratefulness to Him.

I so use to not like change.

It scared me.

No, really scared me.

But now, since I have accepted it, gone with it, and learned to enjoy and look forward to it...

I look forward to each morning with so much GRATEFULNESS in my heart...

For all God has for me.

All He has planned for me.

Knowing that He, is with me, every single step of the way.

Hugs From My Grateful Heart  <3


This is Rita... quiet, peaceful, and content.

Grateful for today.

Even without Fred.
