FROST ON THE GLASS







The frost on the glass was beautiful this morning. I am always delighted to see the little treasures that are everywhere. It's magical!!

WORD OF THE DAY

Petrichor : the name for the smell of rain on dry ground, is from oils given off by vegetation, absorbed onto neighboring surfaces, and released, like effervessence, into the air after a first rain






The smell of the rain in the desert of Scottsdale Arizona is one of my favorites there is just nothing to compare. The smell if rain in the woods of Kentucky is so clean.

WHERE DID IT GO

Last night was windy and cold. At 8am this morning it was a toasty 54. I even washer off my car before I left the house. I enjoyed blue sky's on my drive this morning. But the gray clouds gobbled up the blue and the wind swept away the warm..... it's depressing looking out side. No color and bone chilling. I still love the new and different, but now I appreciate the warm and sunny!

SUCCESS





"THERE
IS NO
ELEVATOR
TO SUCCESS.
YOU MUST
 TAKE THE STAIRS."
I applaud my darling daughter!
She has taken
Many long flights of stairs,
And has BEATIFULLY
Achieved her goals!
I am Truly very proud of
Her success.

Twas The Night Before Christmas...


On Christmas Eve I had been sitting on my sofa,

chatting with my son.

Then I started to rewrite a poem.

I started typing ...

"Twas the night before Christmas

and every damned little mouse...."

And there in my living room appeared a not so darling critter,

warming his little self by my furnace vent.

Grumble Grumble Grumble!

THE JOURNEY


Maybe the journey
isn't so much about
becoming anything.
Maybe it's about
un-becoming everything
that isn’t really you....
so you can be who you were
meant to be in the first place.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

55% of a person's opinion
is determined by
physical appearance
and what you wear.

ICED OVER

 
 
I pass many ponds
as I travel here in Kentuckiana.
Today many of them were frozen.
I knew it was possible, I know it happens....
I am still amazed by the wonders around me.
This Phoenician by birth is delighted to see
the working of the weather around me.

THE MARSHMALLOW TEST



 

 
I will be patient....I know
it will be so worth it!

71 MORE DAYS OF WINTER

I have always wanted to experience the change of seasons. I have longed for the beauty and splendor of the transformation since I was a little girl. And what an amazing show it has been. I have loved and relished each evolving moment thus far.  Being part of it is even more awe inspiring than I had hoped.
Yesterday was gray and blustery. I sat in my window seat with my Yorky and just watched the thick blanket of clouds roll over the hillside as the wind whipped the grey, spindly trees down by the creek.

The little black birds with red breasts amazed me by the acrobatics of their huge flocks. I had never seen so many birds.
 
 
I have loved the Summer, the Fall and now the Winter. The weather man said that we will have arctic conditions for the next week. I can tell you that for the first time in my life I miss the heat. I will enjoy each day, but I am counting down the days to Spring. 71 days to go!

I LOVE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME 
AND THERE ARE NO WORDS TO
EXPLAIN THE FEELING
YOU GIVE ME!

QUOTE of THE DAY

"A great brand raises the bar --
it adds a greater sense
of purpose to the experience,
whether it's the challenge
to do your best in sports and fitness,
or the affirmation that the
cup of coffee you're drinking really matters."
Howard Schultz
(CEO, Starbucks Corp.)
