Through The Tulips

Is it horrible of me to be happy that my husband is off fishing at the moment, and that I have complete silence in the house? I do love my husband and his company, but as you may or may not know, the doctor advised him to stop with the Zyban after he woke up [...]

There are times when words cease to be necessary, when a moment, an object, or even a photograph tells the story- Dare to be different- Dare to stand out in a croud and be yourself, even if standing up for yourself and what you believe it may not be the most popular thing. ANYONE can [...]

This morning I was looking at myself in the mirror as I was getting dressed, and I couldn’t help but notice that I really need to get back to my strength training and be consistent.  It has been a while, and I notice that the flab is still there, and obviously it isn’t going to [...]

I remember there being a time when I was just like so many others in the world who felt that happiness hinged upon ‘something’.

Since I don’t have alot of time, and I haven’t shared a gratitude list in a while, I thought I would do that, and also encourage you to share a few things with me that YOU are grateful for today, or any day for that matter. There is SO much to be grateful for in [...]

We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves. ~Henri Frederic Amiel My friend Sally posted this on Facebook earlier, and being one that loves quotations, I swiped it from her.

Marcel and I have been in contact with a Cairn Terrier breeder and have been emailing back and forth about a possible puppy in the future. We’ve been on the fence for a while as whether to get a new dog or not, mostly because the truth of the matter is- it’s easier without one. [...]
