got wake?

i received the nicest card today.  a co-worker thanked me (yes, me) for being patient and kind.  i consider myself a "bull-in-a-china-shop" most of the time, so to hear this made my day.  i need people like her to slow me down.  after all, life is a big balance beam.  we all need one other to keep steady.  thank goodness for the amazing people in my life that balance me out!  (oh, and if you have seen my new profile pic on facebook, she also gave me the precious pink, heart-eyed, full of fun koosh ball!  wow, does she know me?!)  smiling as i type this...

have you considered your "wake?" you know, like the waves that follow a boat.  it ripples out into this beautiful "pattern."  everything you do & don't do matters.  everything.  thank you my friend for reminding me of that today.  i am honored that my "wake" has made a difference in your life.  sigh.

i pulled this pic off of pinterest because i love the words.  "the fruit of the spirit...peace, joy, love, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self control and gentleness."  it is mostly Galatians 5:22-23 as it says, but there are a few extra yummy words in there.  <3

we all need reassurance, but know that YOU matter.  everything you do and don't do affects those around you.  i am so grateful for the amazing people in my life.

heart hands and smiles

hold tight...

of all you love.

life has a "funny" way of reminding you.

listen to life... love is all there is.  (along with being gracious and kind and patient and a million other "little" things)

hold tight.  hug huge amounts, it helps.  i have first hand knowledge.

heart hands <3

(sending prayers and love to c, d, s, mm & h.) xox

color me happy...

can color make you happy?  i know so!  (no scientific evidence here, just the way i feel)

i LOVE pink!  i especially love the feeling when i get to wear it!  look at the f.a.b.u.l.o.u.s. shoes i got to wear at work that happen to match a new TCS shirt  (love my Danskos!)  i smiled ALL day!

my new shoes are called "poppy," which is meaningful for many reasons...we named Daddy "Poppy" for the grand babies AND i have poppies growing out front in his honour!  (just saw the heart as i was proofreading-do you see it?!?)  <3

then, this pretty pink rose greeted me at the end of my day at Callie & David's house...

spring brings so many yummy colors...i hope you stop and "smell the roses" of colors in your day today, and everyday.

grateful for colors that make me happy and the little things in life.

heart hands and smiles :)
