Oh My....A Delightful Award

I pass this award to:

and

You each are soooooooo deserving of this award!

Honesty, experience and an incredible urge....

Oh Sandy, thank you so much for this precious, priceless award!

and

Here's how the award works:

“Distribute this award to those people who have blogs we love and can’t live without,

blogs where the writing is good and powerful.

I thought interested members could kick things off

by publishing the award on their own blog,

naming five people they would like to give it to,

and accompany the image with three things they believe

are necessary to make writing good and powerful.

The recipients then do the same,

passing it on to five other people,

and so on.”

Today....

I am honored.
I am speechless.
I am humbled.
I am grateful.

I am alot of things right now.
And to top off my day...

" I AM...."

Thank you,
Blage,
for this post!

What Your Handwriting Says About You

You are highly energetic. You are a passionate, intense, vigorous person.

You are somewhat outgoing, but you're not a natural extrovert. You think first before you act. You tend to be independent, rational, and logical.

You are extravagant, over the top, and indulgent. You set trends and influence people.

You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.

You are a free thinker. You are unique, open minded, and artistic. You don't care what other people think.

You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous.

What Does Your Handwriting Say About You?

This weeks Photo Hunt theme is DELICIOUS.

I like this word.

Say it slow, out loud a couple of times.

It feels good to say this word.

As it feels good to take a dip in the barrell of corn.

We must feed the deer around here.

Thank you RDL for the info....and this weekly project should be fun!

The Bad Gift Emporium....

I came across this site and just had to share it with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Few people make it through the holiday season without saying,

"You shouldn't have!"

and actually meaning it.

That's why the Bad Gift Emporium is so genius.

In essence, the team at Barkley

—an agency based in Kansas City—

has created an online white elephant gift exchange.

You post a photo of your new sequined reindeer sweater and mark it as available.

Then Rudolph lovers can e-mail you through the site to begin negotiations for the garment.

Even if Santa brought only what you asked for,

you'll still want to browse the site for the kitsch factor alone.

The collection boasts everything from

a Bob Ross paint set

to a giant New Kids on the Block button.

Contemporary Deer Stands....

For some of us,

climbing a tree and sitting on a cold seat

made from netting just doesn't work.

I see this as an artistic solution.

Bean Bags...

How many "plops"

WIXY....

WIXY
This made me laugh when I found it.
And I needed a good laugh this morning!
Thank you for being a friend!

You Rock!

Dairy - Aire....

When I was growing up and misbehaving, my Mother used to say.....

"I'm gonna whip your de'rier!"

It is a frequently used term here in the south (via the French) for butt.

So, as you can imagine when I saw these cattle loading into an 18 wheeler,

at this very moment I thought

.....Hmmmmmmmm....look at those DAIRY - aires!

And yes,

I heard it quite often when I was little.

1.02.2008

Yes....

You know...
this is a statement that you don't really hear that often
but its truth has been told over and over throughout centuries now.
I took this photo at a friend's house....oh....a couple of years ago.
(Yes, I photographed this in the guest bathroom and no,
I am not dangerous! Am I?)
I remember vividly the situation at hand just outside the door.
I won't go into all that but
I most remember walking in and seeing this beautiful reminder
and took note of it's simplistic display.
On a bathroom lavatory.
Hmmmmmm, I obviously thought.
So, I snapped this photo and edited it a bit.
Cute.

Right?

Well today, while at work, I was upstairs at "Around The Corner"
moving boxes about in a tad bit of a "frenzy".
And as some of you are aware,
I haven't been as focused as usual and I think my lack of navigation skill
may have been due to this fact.

When all of a sudden, I took a step backwards and realized I had backed too close to the stairway.
And "geeeeeeeeezeuuuuzannne",
I had backed over it's edge
when I'd let go of the box flaps and stood upright.
Note that now my left foot was airborne and aimed
directly over step number three,
going DOWN.
I was moving backward as my back arched slightly
and I remember thinking...
"Um, this is going to hurt...."

You see, this is where Suzanne plummets backward down 22 old, inverted, wooden stairs that angle directly down into a cement wall, that now gives new meaning to DEAD END.
An abrupt left and then you are
BAM,
through the doorway
and now in the gift wrapping area,
literally,
"Around The Corner"!

Yeah, um, this is going to hurt.....

My arms had just begun their backward circular motion when,
HALT,
and I mean to the point that,
"WHOA!"
I felt myself repelled forward, onto my knees.
Back up onto the wooden planked floor.
This change in motion caught more than my attention.
There I stayed, on my hands and knees, as I processed what had just happened.
GULP
I know for a fact that nothing I did prevented me from falling backward
down those steps,
nothing!
It was if I had been stopped....
and pushed back, forward,
by an invisible hand.

I had been.

As I stayed there, on my hands and my knees I felt dizzy.
I melted into the moment with the surest of knowing.....
knowing exactly what had just happened to me.
ME, of all people!

Something welled up inside of me and I broke down crying
and the emotion is still with me because
I am softly, yet joyfully, weeping as I type this.
So, yes, I have thought of this photograph for most of the day
and sharing both it
and this miraculous moment with you because....
We all need to be reassured that no matter what we are going through,
no matter how ALONE we may feel,
that......

YES.....

There ARE angel's among us!

Vitamins....

Oh, and I've been doing a little research on friendship...........

The best vitamin for such is,

B-1.

My One Resolution....

My one resolution for this year is to be a better friend.

'Cause you know what?

It should all begin there.
As true friends.

As it too should end there,
including, yet not excluding,

one's personal choice.

I love you each.
