Why I am blogging......

I started this blog to up-date others on the day-to-day events of our family. As the children grew older, and I grew wiser, I realized I wanted to change my direction, and the children wanted to be ommitted from the blog completely. I hope to still manage to include them from time to time but perhaps just through pictures. I am searching for my niche, and way to help lighten the load of others and perhaps lead others to my savior, Jesus Christ. I am focusing on "What really matters" and hopefully, I can help others in some small productive way. While I am changing gears, I will still be throwing in random thoughts, recipes and etc. I am glad you stopped by and bear with me, as I begin to grow and span my wings and fly in a new direction!

I love Fall but...


This is what I love the most. Half Moon Bay in CA is one of the places I would love to visit. I discovered this location through Dan Hellers' photography. He does fantastic photography,I just feel in love with his work. I get alittle down during the winter months. I like the snow, but we do not get the snow like we did when I was little. I can remember real snow days. Sledding, real snow ball fights, snow as deep as your knees and being out-of-school for two weeks.

However, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the food and being with friends and family. I like the feelings that surround Thanksgiving. A grateful heart and the whole simplicity of the day. It seems as though, everything is so commercial these days. Heck, at Big Lots you have a Halloween isle followed by Christmas isles. I want to slow down and take time to live today and not rush through just to get to the next event. Am I getting old? Yes! But I think I have matured spiritually, taking time to be thankful for the moment I am living now. I appreciate everything God has blessed me with, including the gift of being thankful.
