my day...

isn't this so true...
what if God said to you- "hey, catch!"...
and whatever you were holding onto you had to let go or get hit in the face...
what would you do?

every great salesperson knows that if the shopper's hands are full, she won't pick up something else...
yeah, I had that worked out...
I would take it out of her hands and lay it on the counter for her...
always walking slightly behind her, watching for the "limit" she could hold...
and swoop in and snatch it all up so she could do it again and again...

keep the hands empty, or at least to where you can pick up one more thing...
if your hands are too full, you are going to miss that treasure just around the corner...
let go of the stuff in your life that doesn't fit your life...
that doesn't bring joy, a smile, a giggle...
find your giggles and your smile will never fade...

so while it was like this today...
the new Birds and Blooms came in the mail today...
now this is how our birds are hanging out...
but soon, this is coming...
and this...
and a chance to wear something like these...
and do these...
got my chocolate milkshake today...
DQ...
my DH brought it home to me today while he was in town shopping...

then he got sick late afternoon and isn't doing too good...
dizzy and sick to his stomach...
flu time has come...
maybe what I had wasn't all the meds and IBS...
same symptoms...
so that was the day...
and helping a few friends out along the way...
it was a good day for me...


something to think about...

winter is the time to plan ahead...
just look at this porch...
awesome, huh?
cozy...
THE place to be on a summer's night...
another cozy little front porch idea...
shabby...
fun...
this shows its not the amount of space you have, but what you do with it...
another fun space, but I think I would only have pots on one side, so there is room to sit on the steps...
do you do that?
just sit on the steps?
awe, what a space to read, relax and daydream...
bring on the sunsets!
talk about romance...
shabby quaint does it for me...
love the outdoor mantle...
and check this out...
love the teal gems here...
a splash of color for all those white rooms that are out there...
this would sure go with all those vintage jars at the Lakehouse...

are you planning for spring as the snow flies?
I am...
so, what are your dreams?
