You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present. ~Jan Glidewell
cry I keep my paint brush with me Wherever I may go, In case I need to cover up So the real me doesn't show. I'm so afraid to show you me, Afraid of what you'll do - that You might laugh or say mean things. I'm afraid I might lose you. I'd like to remove all my paint coats To show you the real, true me, But I want you to try and understand, I need you to accept what you see. So if you'll be patient and close your eyes, I'll strip off all my coats real slow. Please understand how much it hurts To let the real me show. Now my coats are all stripped off. I feel naked, bare and cold, And if you still love me with all that you see, You are my friend, pure as gold. I need to save my paint brush, though, And hold it in my hand, I want to keep it handy In case someone doesn't understand. So please protect me, my dear friend And thanks for loving me true, But please let me keep my paint brush with me Until I love me, too. ~ Author Unknown Wear a mask

"B" Attitude Be understanding to your enemies. Be loyal ... Be understanding to your enemies. Be loyal to your friends. Be strong enough to face the world each day. Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone. Be generous to those who need your help. Be frugal with that you need yourself. Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything. Be foolish enough to believe in miracles. Be willing to share your joys. Be willing to share the sorrows of others. Be a leader when you see a path others have missed. Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty. Be first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds. Be last to criticize a colleague who fails. Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not tumble. Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way. Be loving to those who love you. Be loving to those who do not love you; they may change. Above all, be yourself. ~author unknown~

I'm blessed with friends that know me well enough to know how to make the bad days brighter. Thanks Jo!!

About Me

Mother of three and extremely proud grandmother of a beautiful 3 year old girl and two amazing grandsons, ages 10 months and newborn.  I am finding a new way of living and trying to overcome the grief of losing my oldest son. 

I'm discovering that I can still laugh and that I can still make friends and be a friend.  I found that by giving more of myself to others I feel better about myself and am less focussed on feeling sorry for myself.

 I still find it a struggle to live in the "outside" world, but I am working on that.  I consider myself to be a work in progress.  And hopefully I always will be. 

I have learned that material things are just that and what really counts are the people you love and the people who love you.  Always let those people know how you feel because you may not get the chance tomorrow.

wealth OR AS MY GRANDDAUGHTER LINDSEY SAYS WHEN A FRIEND TAKES HER TOY, "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD AND I HAVE ALL THAT I NEED".
CAUSE MY CUP OVERFLOWED I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now. But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow. And as I go along life's way, I'm reaping better than I sowed. I'm drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. Haven't got a lot of riches, and sometimes the going's tough. But I've got loving ones all around me, and that makes me rich enough. I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies He's bestowed. I'm drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. I remember times when things went wrong, My faith wore somewhat thin. But all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through again. So Lord, help me not to gripe, about the tough rows I have hoed. I'm drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. If God gives me strength and courage, When the way grows steep and rough. I'll not ask for other blessings, I'm already blessed enough. And may I never be too busy, to help others bear their loads. Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer, "Cause my cup has overflowed." (by Jimmy Dean) FROM MY FRIEND JO!
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. -unknown
HERE IS TO ALL MY CRAZY FRIENDS...I LOVE YOU! crazy
best friendsThanks Lauren, you are always there for me!
Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you Happiness. Bad days give you Experiences. Both are essential to life. Keep going... Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrows keep you Human, Failures keep you Humble, Success keeps You Glowing, But Only God keeps You Going! Have a great day! The Son is shining!! God is so big He can cover the whole world with his Love, and so small He can curl up inside your heart. From my friend Steve
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don't just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly From My Best Friend Linda
