quilted love

beautiful quilted works of art on display at the university of michigan hospital in ann arbor.

the theme was music & there were so many lovely creations.

this is something i may want to try...

toad

when i found this little toad in my yard, i began to play with it.

he wasn't scared of me. he enjoyed being held and enjoyed the gentle petting on his back.

he never tried to hop away.

he stayed on my leg.

he walked on my belly.

he watched me watch him.

he never peed his toad pee on me.

he let me rub his toad belly.

...i thought, "i am spending way too much time with this toad..."

then i said outloud, "who cares?"

memorial day 2009

a beautiful day today. my daughter, my mom & dad & my husband.

good cook-out & lots of conversation.

let us too, always remember the vets who gave their lives so we may live ours. not just on memorial day, but everyday...

con.scious decision

i have made a con⋅scious decision. no more red meat. no more pork. no more chicken.

1. i am tired of feeling bloated.
2. the textures are sickening me
3. the smells are not pleasing any longer
4. the look of raw or cooked meat is disgusting me
5. my stomach doesn't tolerate them
6. thus, my mind is made up

compelled

i should be doing a million other things instead of creating a blog.
i am compelled, though, to write honestly about myself & my life, hopefully on a daily basis.
this should be a good lesson & good discipline for me.

1- to write daily

2- to be honest in my writings

3- to learn from writing

i can write. i will write. i can write. i will write.
