Do you know anyone who has a birthday on Halloween? I do!!
I once asked her if she got tired of Halloween colors / stuff. Nope, she still loves it.
So, Maura, in the spirit of Halloween and this picture. I hope you are stirring up a fantastic witches brew of some sort. It’s your special day!
Start celebrating. It’s your Birthday Eve!
HAPPY 🎃 Halloween 🎃 BIRTHDAY!!
Do you believe that seeing a feather has a spiritual meaning?
Here is why I thought this feather was interesting. There were no birds around. It’s a BIG feather. As I walked quickly by, I saw it out of the corner of my eye.
My thought was, “Did I just see a feather? Where is the bird?” I felt the urge to go back and look at it, but I didn’t have time. Later, I was still thinking of that feather.
The next morning, I was walking in the same area, rushing to work, when I saw the feather AGAIN. This time, the feather had moved, it wasn’t in its original spot. This time the feather was at the Stop sign, right at my feet, in front of me. NOW, I took notice.
I had this feeling I was meant to see this feather, it was in my path for a reason.
So, what do you think? Is there a meaning behind seeing a big feather like this, when no birds are around?
I meant to write this post on October 2nd, the Feast Day for Guardian Angels. I found this day interesting. I woke up with a sad feeling. It happens to all of us. Turn on the news and it’s “doom and gloom.”
On this particular morning, I knew I had a choice to make.
Be sad… OR… Be happy!
I’ve learned, our minds are powerful and we “own them.” It’s up to us to CHOOSE what we think about. It takes practice to change the direction of our minds, but it can be done!
It was early in the morning, I decided to walk and stop by church. Our church has a 30 min mass every day. At the steps of the church, I was greeted by happy school children heading in for mass. So sweet, hearing their cute little voices and the teacher instructing them.
When it was time for the Priest to speak, he said, “Today is a special day, it’s the Feast Day of our Guardian Angels.”
CHEERS from the children.
WOW – my own ears perked up.
There had just been a woman doing the reading. She had not done her homework and couldn’t pronounce many of the cities in the text. It was PAINFUL to listen to her. My mind drifted off, not uplifting at all.
Imagine my SURPRISE to learn that there was “no time” to feel sad. Instead, I needed to CELEBRATE my Guardian Angel. My heart grew big. I kidded MY ANGEL and said, “So, that’s why you wanted me to walk by church. To celebrate you! How clever!”
I always think of Clarence, the angel in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” too, so cute.
As we head into the weekend, if you believe in guardian angels, you might want to THANK yours.
Look, I even saw this angel in a store this week. My Angel wants me to know she is grand and beautiful! Come on, you do have to chuckle. Perfect timing!
Have a wonderful Fall weekend! —> (You might spot your angel somewhere too.)
My father passed away recently. When I think of my father, I imagine this lion.
It’s how my family feels right now — A HUGE ROAR!
My father loved music, he had an Ipod full of great songs. One song, I distinctly remember was “Rose Marie I Love You.” Here it is for you to enjoy too. It’s sung by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy.
A passing makes us reflect on life, so many emotions.
So, dear Blogging friends, stay well, hug your family and friends! 💕🙏
This was so amusing. Luckily, I wasn’t in a rush. These geese were taking their time.
Then a deer. I turned the corner and there she was, looking straight at me.
Such a lovely Fall day!
For those of you who follow me, you’ve seen the artistic cicadas I’ve posted. Now, it’s the end of August and the cicadas are in full force. We didn’t hear them in June or July, but now, they’re here.
I was at a friend’s house. I went to open the window and look what I saw… A CICADA.
I stared him straight in the eyes, I thought he might be scared off, but he wasn’t. He held on to the screen. Looking at him up close, I realized this would be a great picture to share with you.
From this photo, he (maybe a she) looks like a good friend stopping by.
Have a lovely day!
On a walk, I saw this bug. I’m not sure if it could fly, but it looks like it probably has wings.
Anyone know?
The bug is a beautiful color and then on the flower, a perfect picture.
It’s all in the mind, isn’t it! Yesterday a friend sent me these lionesses.
I was thinking what perfect timing. I was feeling that way, strong, powerful, unstoppable.
We don’t feel like that every morning, but there are days when our energy is at an ALL TIME HIGH!
I did start taking some vitamins lately. Maybe that’s been helping, making me feel like Superman!
I’m off to go walking. Now, I just need that perfect song that goes with these lions.
How about this. Hats off to the Olympians who are FIGHTING for GOLD! They must have some powerful songs and/or motivational talks they listen to when they need to erase a bad performance, come back the next day and FIGHT to WIN!
Have a great motivational day!
Why did I wait so long to get this? Actually, I didn’t even know this multi-opener existed. For the past few years, I’ve found myself having trouble opening certain jars.
In fact, I was just at my daughter’s house and she could not open a small jar of garlic sauce. If I had known, I would have brought my new multi-purpose gadget. Instead, we spent a good 15 minutes, doing everything possible to get the glass jar open. We did finally do it, but it wasn’t fun!
I found this multi-opener by accident. It was on a sale rack.
My first thought was, “Wow, this is cool!” My second thought was, “Do you need to spend money?” My third thought was, “It’s on SALE, heck yes, opening cans will be easier.”
The red gadget is self explanatory. However, that grey one in the middle was a bit puzzling. I Googled it to see how it worked. Sure enough, there was a video that showed the six different ways to use it. How great!
I tried using it to open a tuna can that had the metal ring on top. You know, where you pull up on the metal ring to open the can. Unfortunately, user error, I ended up pulling the metal tab off. Obviously, I need to practice. So, I had to use a can opener to open the tuna can. I’m determined to do it right next time.
I highly recommend this type of product. I’m sure they have other brands, choose one. It’s for ALL ages. Even my daughter needed it the other day.
Guess what she is getting for her birthday?! She will thank me!
I went walking the other day. It was early in the morning with a bit of rain, just a drizzle.
I came across this group of pigeons eating breakfast.
Then I saw this pipe thing on a tree. What do you think it is for?
Then some flowers.
I enjoy mornings when everything is waking up and coming alive.
Have a great weekend!
Brilliant Viewpoint
