happy new week

Will winter ever end? I'm not so sure since last week was cold, snowy, even had some sleet. Really waiting to get two or three nice days in a row. It's hard to believe we're into May and still having such cold weather.

I mean really...what is up with this?

So, I found a couple more treasures to keep for myself last week. One was a set of glasses made from wine bottles. I just love the colors. For a while now I've been wanting some of these, but really did not want to try and make them myself. I was surprised when I found these...and got a deal on them. Can't beat that.

Now, if someone can tell me why I bought a whole watermelon??? What was I thinking? I love watermelon, but David, being diabetic, is limited to how much he can have and I can only eat so much. Anyways, it was much better than I expected it to be for this time of year. And, if you have never tried watermelon with ginger on it, do. I had a friend from Kenya tell me that they sprinkle ginger juice on their watermelon. I don't have the patience to grate enough ginger to get enough juice, so I just add grated ginger on ours. We LOVE it! I try to get ginger in our diets as often as possible, this is a great way to do that. Unless you LOVE ginger as much as I do, you may not want to add quite as much grated ginger. But do give it a try, I think you'll really enjoy this twist on watermelon.

Wishing everyone a beautiful week ahead.

catch the good

Today I choose to believe good things are on the way. I choose to believe healing and good health are part of my life. All is well.

And a little fresh whipped cream always makes things better.

I've been reading a lot lately about the law of attraction; one of the things it says is when we push things away that we do not want, we are actually keeping it in our life. I find this to be a difficult one to change, but I must try harder.

 

We got a couple of really "nice and fluffy" snows in the past couple of weeks. I must say, even though it came at a difficult time for me, it was very beautiful. Lots of walking to the store.

Came and Went

We have had zero winter this year, so far. This morning the most beautiful snowflakes fell, beautiful snowflakes like I haven't seen in a quite a few years - BIG and FLUFFY white snowflakes = MAGIC in the air.

I was thrilled, it was beautiful for a short time and then...gone. Damn, sounds like my dreams. :)

“I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realizes an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past. ”

― Virginia Woolf
