My Hands

"Look at your hands. Why are you grateful for them?"

Because:

I can hold my Nephew's hand
Pet my dog Bella
Feed myself
Dress myself
Write
Draw
Paint
Type
Drive
Catch Fireflies
Point
Shove my finger down my throat
Open a coke bottle
Pick Daisies
Hold a book
Text
Brush my teeth
Flip someone off
Hi Five
Catch the rain in my palm
Hold a cup of coffee
Punch you in the arm
Run my fingers through a cats fur
Color
Light a candle
Hold my Husband's hand
Hold my head in my hands and cry
Talk with my hands
Open Doors
Open Windows
Click a Mouse
Wrap Gifts
Squeeze my Mother's hand
Tie my Shoes
Push my Glasses Up
Change channels on the remote
Close the Door
Wave Goodbye

Magic Hour

"My favorite time of the day..."


....is Magic Hour. That magical time of day after the sun sets, before the sky has gotten dark. When the sky is purple, orange, and red.
And its in that moment you look to the sky, and the vision takes your breath away.

Update

Its been awhile since I've been on here. Here is what I've done.

Friday 4/24: Went looking for the cemetery to put flowers on Great Grandmothers grave. Got the directions from google maps and set off. I hadn't been there since the funeral and that was 3 years ago. I don't even member how I got there that day. Everything is a blur. Anyways, I found a cemetery...but wrong one. Cause I could not find her grave. Believe me, I looked and looked.
I then went and had supper with Papa, Lisa, Brother, and Stinker-Bug.

Saturday 4/25: Had lunch with Brother, Mama and Stinker-Bug. Then later that night I went to Dinner with Jess, Dess and some more folks. Then we went to see the Elephant Man at the Wildwood Rep. Had a great time. The play was great. Can't wait to see another one.

Sunday 4/26: Did not do a dang thing.

Yesterday 4/27: Went to work.

Today: Pretty good day. That I had the new flu that's going around. I cant read symptoms of anything, cause if I do, I automatically think I have whatever it is I'm reading. Another crazy thing that I do.
My cold is finally easing up. No more runny nose, but I still have a sore throat and a cough every once in a while.
I know for a fact that my new dosage of meds have kicked in. Call me Salad Shooter. (Inside joke)

What I like about Myself

"List 10 things I really like about myself and why"

This is gonna be difficult. I can list tons of things I don't like about myself. Here goes:

1. Great Sister....I put my brothers and sister before me at all times. They need a ride, I'm there. They need money, here you go. Need someone to talk to, I'm listening. Need a babysitter, when and what time. Need a place to stay, I'm help move your things.

2. Good Friend...Need to vent, go ahead. Need a shoulder to cry on, here you go. Need flower for no reason at all, there on there way. Need a bed to sleep in, I'll scoot over. Need a huge, my arms are always open.

3. Very Opinionated...I'll tell you what I think no matter what. I have my own beliefs and don't change them for anyone.

4. I'm Myself...Don't like who I am, so what.

5. Standing Up...I'll stand up for family and friends in a heartbeat. I'll stand up for myself also. I don't back down.

6. My Eyes...I think I have great eyes.

7. Wearing my Emotions on my Sleeve...I've come to realize that this is something I should be proud of and not try hide my feelings and emotions. Its great to cry.

8. Sense of Humor...One of the best things about me. I love to make others laugh. I can laugh at myself.

9. Fast Learner...A great thing. I've had many jobs and having this ability has help o so much.

10. Striving to Live without Regrets...I do this daily. This is so very important to me. I don't want to look back and regrets anything I've done.
