Alone

The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.
— Albert Einstein I like this quote and it touches me because I feel like I do so many things that are not NORMAL, I guess that I am walking alone, funny because I NEVER feel alone......

Clothesline

Today is the first time this year that I hung my laundry on the clothesline to dry. I love to dry my clothes outside, makes me think of simpler times.

Hosanna

And as he rode [into Jerusalem), they spread their garments on the road. As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" (Luke 19:36-38, RSV)

Creative

What can I say, these two are creative!! Mom can we have some markers? , Mom can we have some glue? , Mom do you have any sticks? , Mom do you have a curtain?, Mom can we have a stick puppet show? These two constantly keep me on my toes!!

Happy

Make up your mind to be happy—even when you don’t have money, even when you don’t have a clear complexion, even when you don’t have the Nobel Prize. Some of the happiest people I know have none of these things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy. Why are they happy? I suppose it is because they don’t listen very well. Or they listen too well—to the things their hearts tell them. They glory in the beauty of the earth. They glory in the rivers and the canyons and the call of the meadowlark. They glory in the love of their families, the stumbling steps of a toddler, the wise and tender smile of the elderly.
They glory in honest labor. They glory in the scriptures. They glory in the presence of the Holy Ghost.
One thing I know for certain: the time we have here goes by far too quickly. Don’t waste any more time sitting on the bench watching life pass you by.
