2023 Resolution

I did not make any resolution’s this year but I have to say this is one of my favorite days of the entire year !!!! I love, love, love New Year’s Day. A brand new year with brand new possibilities, a blank slate. It is always so exciting in my world !!!

I always say, “Write it down, Make it happen.” I learned from making lists that this is the key. Writing things down does make it happen, it almost makes it real. Today I really did nothing today but just being happy b/c it’s a new year.

This is going to be my first challenge of the year…Just Jot January 2023

So for today, it’s Sunday so it’s my day off and tomorrow I will start my new planner. We will have a year of first’s again and those are so exciting. I’m not going to say too much of those first’s b/c I have discovered an evil troll who has done some very mean things and I would expect nothing less from that person/people b/c they just aren’t very good people. I have one thing to say to those mean, horrible people. What goes around, comes around so you had better be careful because good always overcomes bad, horrible people !!!! You know who you are and so do I. You know I have a song for everything, and this is not my song for SLS. This song is for you, I know who you are. Believe me, I’m watching and it wasn’t hard to figure out who did this. This song is for you 😉 …

Back Stabbers

There’s a reason when people leave your world and I’ve learned God’s in control and he takes the people out of your life who will be no good for you. He’ll deal with them and that’s good enough for me. The best thing to do is to live a good life and be happy and I choose that.

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday and it really is. Having an amazing fall here in the Midwest, but we all know what’s coming…I really need to get out and get my tree pictures i.e. leaf peeping. I have seen a few that makes !!!!

I saw this today and I grabbed it with my phone. I loved it and making, “Lists”…Really I can’t do the day, any day, w/o a list. Top 3, To Do’s, Daily, yadayadayada. I’m sure you get the picture.

The weather has been prrrrfect up until yesterday but I think we’ll eek out a few more nice, sunny, warm days before everything goes south. I think they call it Indian Summer…I know, that you can only call it that after the 1st tracking snow. Yes, I’m also a weather geek…There really isn’t a season or storm that I don’t like.

***I hope this makes you smile !!!***

***This one’s for you Mz. Cheryl !!!! Because I knew you <3*** ***This song really says it all for me <3 I love you friend <3 …***

Tuesday…#jusjojan

Today’s prompt for Monday (Albeit a day late) is Abundance … abundance/noun…1. A very large quantity of something: She has an abundance of planner supplies 😉 Ya think, yeah I do !!!! The state of having a copious quantity of something: plentifulness:

Middle English: from Latin abundantia, from abundant-overflowing, the verb abundance (see abound).

I also have an abundance of joy and happiness in my life which I would not trade for anything. I am part of a family, I have a husband who loves me to the moon/42 years married, 45 years together, 5 Children, 6 grandchildren w/one the way…Y A Y we broke the tie 3 girls/3 boys and baby girl frain #7 on the way, in May !!!!

In a world that has been very wonky for a very long time, I count my blessings every day and I say thank you for all that I have…It makes for a very happy life. Blessings dear blogger’s, I hope than you have an”Abundance”of happiness in your corner of the world wherever that may be. Happy, Happy 2022 <3

Still working on my word of the year !!!

Happy Song Lyric Sunday…

and yes I know it’s Monday, but I am having a slow start out of the gate for 2022. I don’t even have a planner going yet as it is out there somewhere in the supply chain !!!! Who knew, whatever it’s suppose to be here Wednesday OMG I really can’t wait. It’s cold and it’s January in Chicago. Yes we have been so lucky so far unfortunately I think our luck has just run out.

So I’m doing SLS today, Monday. The prompts for SLS was “Entertainment, Circus, Show,” suggested by Melanie B Cee … I usually go with the first song that comes to mind. That would be from back in the 70’s…Ahh the 70’s, back in the day 😉 . This is a group that I really liked, “Emerson, Lake & Palmer…”The Song is, “Welcome Back my Friends …

Welcome Back my Friends/Emerson, Lake & Palmer <3

Hope you enjoy…Baby Steps <3 . Song Lyric Sunday is one of my favs of the challenges. Have a whole lot going on this year, stay tuned. Blessings Blogger’s on your 2022. Let’s all stay well, Love ya 😉 .

Two for Tuesday…

Happy Tuesday, blogger’s…It’s always a little harder getting going after a 3 day weekend but I’m up and starting the day. After the 4th a sense of urgency comes on and I feel like, “Summer’s over Mr. Nightlinger 😉 .”

The Artist was busy painting this weekend. I’m really enjoying these past oil paintings. I have already have a spot for them in our home. Don’t worry if you like them, they are on our Amazon Handmade acct. for purchase (at least the pair is) . I still have to load, “Storm Front”.

Also getting busy on my planner/planner area. I’m not even going to post until I’ve got that under control b/c quite frankly it looks like a hot mess…No bother though, I’ll get it together and it will be beautius for sure <3

Since it’s 2/2 Tuesday I thought I’d put up a couple of songs…The first one always makes me smile because I remember times from years gone by where this song makes me feel this way, only I’m not living in their radio probably just their head 😉 and it’s rent free 😉 …

How do you like me now/Toby Keith <3

It’s going to be a busy week b/c I only have 4 days to work with…Appts., houseclean, menu plan & groceries, Target run of course, yadayadayadayda…I’ve also got so behind in my, “10 Year Journal” I’m determined to get caught up on it !!! Oh and I’ve got to fit a mani/pedi in there somewhere, ahhhhh 😉 . I know, I’m spoiled. It’s the husband’s fault. He’s a great guy <3 and I love him to pieces <3

My second choice for my song today is, “Perfect”. The husband and me always give each other songs and he gave me this one. He said it reminds him of us b/c we were just kids when we met and fell into forever with each other (he was 20 and I was 16 😉 ), 42nd wedding anniversary this year… Together 45 years, OMG <3 .

“Perfect” Andrea Bocelli & Ed Sheehan <3

Have a great week and get busy…Summer’s over Mr. Jebediah Nightlinger 😉 …

p.s We use to do Community Theatre every summer and I came across this picture of one of the shows we did…How did you think the kiddos became professional dancer’s, singer’s, musicians ??? It wasn’t by accident, Mom and Dad had a little something to do with it. Uber talented family, started with my mom 😉 and everyone has the DNA…I was a piano player and the husband is the Artist (not his day job, OMG starving artist, I don’t think so 😉 ) …Even though they all took a different direction, they were amazing on stage performing, of course I may be a bit prejudice. 😉 …

Monday’s Masterpiece

Good Monday morning <3 Hoping everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July…The Artist and me had a wonderful weekend…Road Trip out to our fav places from back in the day 😉

Then on Sunday the 4th was a chill kind of day w/the Artist painting and me planning…Love, love, love to plan. Today will just be a reset kind of day where we keep wondering what day it is 😉 Does that happen to anyone else on these 3 day weekends ???

The other painting he just started yesterday, but I’m thinking it’s going to be a fav of mine !!! Don’t forget you can visit our Handmade by Amazon site and purchase any of his amazing artwork…Just follow the link <3

The weekend started out really great with me and the granddaughter getting our hair done, Chic Filet for lunch and then of course Starbucks to top off the fun day…

***Gabriella & Grandmama Girl’s Day Out <3***

So much fun at the salon…Shout out to our forever beauty stylist…Mz. Lisa <3 Thank you so much for making us beautiful again <3 . Oh and I can’t forget the flower’s my wonderful husband bought for me <3 .

Back to business this week, a lot of irons in the fire. Starting a major remodel on the home but then by the end of this year it will all be done. I will update with pics of our beautius home. Let’s enjoy the rest of the summer. Busy, busy month w/birthday’s, anniversary (42nd <3 ) and vacation to New Smyrna Beach, Florida Y A Y !!!! Blessings Blogger’s on your Monday <3 … 😉

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Blogger’s

Just a quick thought on St. Patrick’s Day…

St. Patrick reminds us that, Good things can come from horribly difficult times and challenges…

This is a truth, whether you are Irish or not, from a family that’s thriving or one that’s struggling to stay afloat that we all need to cling to this St. Patricks Day <3 .

Back in the day <3 Love all those smiles and look at all that hair. Great Memories, Great Family <3 Happy St. Patrick’s Day <3

I thought I would just add this link on the Irish <3 It’s really true, we do handle hard times well !!!!

Share Your World

QUESTIONS:

If the government offered to suspend all laws, and law enforcement for 24 hours, letting you (and everybody else) do whatever you wish… Would you be in favor of it, or not? (Credit for this question goes to Cyranny and her Daily Quickie Question)

Never, No Way, Not for one little miniute…We have laws now and nobody follows them now or enforces them and look at the mess it has created…

What would be the creepiest thing you could say while passing a stranger on the street?(We’re suspending the whole social distancing and Covid involvement in this scenario)

“When you pass that guy sitting in the chair, see if he’s breathing. “

As a child, what did you think would be great about being an adult, but isn’t as great as you thought it would be?

Going to bed when I wanted or sleeping as late as I wanted…

What, in your opinion, has been blown way out of proportion?

Oh that’s an easy one, Covid19 … And they keep it going, and going, and going…

Gratitude Section (Optional as always)

Where is your ‘happy’ place?

Forever and always <3 .

A sad day for America

You will see now that the democrats are back in power. Our freedoms will be taken away, b/c we don’t no how to handle them. Only big government can show us how to live. I’m staying in for 4 years. I want nothing to do with the train wreck that is about to happen. I have lived through enough democratic disaster’s to know what awaits us now. Iran, hostages, unemployment, lockdowns, mandatory everything, late-term abortion on demand, ccp, two standards of justice. One for the powerful, and one for us. I will be watching the weather channel and playing with my planner’s. I guess God thinks we need to learn another lesson because how does it go, “When you don’t learn from past mistakes, you are bound to repeat them.” Good luck everyone. Hope you are financially sound to survive what lays ahead. Because it’s not going to be good.

One thing that I am happy for is President Trump and his family. Guess what, they don’t have to put up with anymore of the crap that they have had to deal with for the last 4 plus years. If he should go to jail, then Hillary should be in the cell next to him. He at least saved us from having her for a president. I thought the democrat’s thought having a white man for president was so last century… So let’s just see how many people cancel me now. I really don’t care. Like I said in an earlier blog, they are coming for you next.

I’ll end this on a positive note as I knew writing would bring me to this place. There is good in everything, yes even your crosses that you have to carry. This cross I have to carry now will allow me to experience all of the things that bring me joy. I will write more, and journal. Archiving really is my passion. I will cook more and go outside and breath. I will not vote anymore b/c that’s just stupid unless you are on the right side of the election fraud. Life is short…Blessings <3 …
