I WONDER

Hello.  Stating the obvious, I haven't posted here for a loooong time.  I come here occasionally and think, "I should post something here." Then I don't and now I'm wondering why that happens.  Could be that I have lots going on in my life; maybe I can't think of anything "interesting" to write about;  maybe....I'm a little lazy?
I really am happy with the way my life is going.  Family and friends are the best one could ask or hope for.  I guess did something right in the past to feel so blessed now.  When I consider my life as it has progressed, I feel privileged to have had so many blessings.
I have been more open in the past few years to the spiritual side of life.  I have lots of time now to read and  reflect on the spiritual. "There is more to life than you and I can know"....I think that's how the quote goes....what I mean is that there are things we can't account for in the "see it and then believe it" way of living.  So, I look for small miracles and unexplainable, happy syncronicities.
When one is young and striving to succeed at whatever the vision of 'success in life' is, the material side of life seems so important.  Of course, providing for the children you have is very important and the material things, like food, shelter, and clothing, depend on the 'material'.  Now that the kids are grown and seem to be okay with how we brought them up, I can look back and think how great it all was....still is!

Well, this turned into a longer rambling than I thought it would.  So, my dear readers, have a blessed day, a happy life and give yourself a pat on the back for reading this far!

Here I Am!

Hello out there.  I am alive and well, and living a good life.  Many changes and re-arranges, but the ol' gal is still kickin' it!
I put up my house for sale, sold it in 24 hours and then got busy packing up my worldly goods.  Ya know, how it is, you "believe" that you haven't got that much stuff....well, let me tell you......I had  enough stuff, to give those on "Hoarders" a run for their money.
I moved in with friends in their new house on July 11th and it went very smoothly.  My dear friends and I are getting along so well, that I keep thinking I should pinch myself to see if it's a dream. Even though I got shed of many possessions, I'm discovering more that I don't need.  My friends got rid of a great deal of extra items before the move and even so, have more to give away.  My family is happy for me and have visited my new 'digs'.  The consensus is that I'm in a great place.
I've also found time to go to Georgian Bay and stay at my youngest daughter and husband's cottage.  Great week, good times!  Found time to walk on the beach and logged in 5K at least! 
Well, hope I haven't bored my readers too much.  I will try to be more interesting in future
blog posts! Bye for now, Mar.

Hello, Is It Me You're Looking For?

I haven't been blogging for a looong time.  So many reasons, excuses (?), busy with the changes I've decided to make in my life.  It's still in process, so when I have it all done, then I will post some more.  So, not much of interest for my blog friends, but I did not want y'all to think I had abandoned my blog, or gone on to my just rewards, LOL
I hope that it's more Spring-like in your part of the world.  I can see hints of colour in my gardens, and the lawn is greening up nicely.The Lupins in the picture are growing in New Brunswick, Canada.  Aren't they giving you a smile?  They gave me one.   

HAPPY NEW YEAR *\*| *| */*

HAPPY 2011 TO ALL!  May this year be the one to bring you peace, health and happiness.
Here is a little gem  of mine........
The years they come, the years they go, but this, for sure, is what I know
Life goes on, good times or bad,
Choose to be happy, dump the sad.

The Knitted Christmas Tree

Hello Out There!

Howdy friends.  I am now coming to you via my new NoteBook, a birthday present from my family.  I'm still learning to use  all the features on it. One I'm really fond of is the Skype feature.  I've been trying out the camera that's built in.  The downside of that is, that most of the pics look like the ones they take for passport, license, or in jail...........not that I would know about the last one!  I will post again soon and thanks to all of you that extended a hand in friendship and sympathy.  It helps to know that somewhere out in the world I'm thought of kindly.  Here's a big Dinah Shore Kiss  mmmmmmmmwhaaaaaaaa!

Uh Oh!

Hi Everyone.  I have been absent from the blog-oh-sphere for some time as I have had no access to the internet.  The reason for that is very simple....I wrecked my laptop power cord about 3 weeks ago, and so cannot charge it up.  A new power cord is around $100 and I don't know if I want to spend that much on powering up my 10 year old LT.  Right now I'm using a friend's LT and internet to let my friends know where I've been.
The upside of not being "plugged in" is that I'm getting a heck of a lot of things done around the ol' homestead and catching up on mending, knitting and tidying up the messes I seem to make all by myself! 
So for now, I'll keep in touch whenever I can use my friend's LT and mull over the purchase of the cord or a new LT.  Decisions, decisions.  <3
