THREE THINGS
My Life Guru once told me there are three things I need to do...
1. Go to the movies
2. Have dinner at a nice restaurant
3. Go on a trip
Easy enough!
But he said I need to do them
ALL ALONE.
I have avoided these things.
There are few things in life I fear more than
ALL ALONE.
But today I will see about concurring all three.
I'll be thinking of you SM!
****(Well, I could see the theater from my hotel room,
while having dinner that was brought up from the restaurant.
I say this was a success!!!)

8 Ways To Keep Your Passion Burning
1. Spend some time together reminiscing. Remember how your relationship started? Your first kiss, the things you used to do together or the places you used to go? How about getting all the old photos down from the attic and having a good old belly laugh together. Reminiscing brings back all those lovely memories of bygone years.
2. Communication. It’s not just about being in the same room as each other watching TV, playing on computer or doing the ironing. Turn the TV, computer or the iron off and TALK to each other. It doesn’t have to be a deep and meaningful conversation, just talk about your day or about your plans for the weekend. Just find the time to talk to each other every day.
3. Be more affectionate. One thing my wonderful grandmother always taught me was to remember to give your partner a hello and good-bye kiss. Just a peck on the cheek before you leave for work can set your day off on the right foot and make you feel really loved.
4. Have a romantic meal. Go out for a meal, or budget forbidding, why not cook a romantic meal at home? Put some music on, turn the lights down. You could even buy a sexy game to play for afterwards! Create the opportunity to be together at least once a month.
5. Respect your partner. This is an important one. Respect your partner even when you disagree. Never belittle your partner especially when the kids or other people are around.
6. Get Physical. A sure sign that your relationship has gone off the boil is when you don’t touch each other anymore. Avoid the vicious cycle and break the routine. Make your physical relationship a priority. Hold hands in public, offer lots of hugs and kiss often.
7. Appreciation. Remember to appreciate the small things your partner does for you— such as walking the dog, cooking dinner, putting the kids to bed, doing your washing, fixing the creaky door, or just making you a cup of tea. Never take each other for granted! Why not write five things down you enjoy about your partner and get them to do the same. Then swap lists.
8. Say I love you. This one is so simple and doesn’t require any effort at all, but it has the power to radically change the mood in an instant. Say I love you and say it often!

Strategies To Keep Your Relationship Flame Alight
I Pledge....
Patriotism is something I cherish, something I hold proudly in my heart. I don't think there is enough 'love of country', ownership of national pride out there any longer.
Years ago I would drop my youngest children off at school and on my way to work I would pass several large car dealerships. (I have always been grateful for the huge American flags they fly) As I drove past the glorious Stars and Stipes, the Morning Mayor (a beloved DJ) would, at that moment have an elementary school class say the Pledge of Allegiance. I loved this moment. Each work day, as I drove, I would recite the pledge aloud, while adoring my nations flag.
Years earlier, when my oldest girls were small, I had homeschooled them for a couple grades. We had the flag in our home, we said the pledge. I loved it!
Now I am on my own, I live in the most beautiful country side ever. And each morning as I am getting ready for my day, the radio station I have playing on the old battered radio in my country kitchen, has an elementary school class recite the Pledge of Allegiance. So in my tiny little bathroom, among the everyday things, is my little American flag.
I love to give my devotion to the country that I love!

OPEN ARMS
Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are
By my side
So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms
Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms
(I fell in love with this song when I was in my early teens....I love it just as much now)

SUNSET OVER THE WHITETANKS
As I watched the Super Bowl and they showed live shots of the stadium, I could see the sunset reflecting off it. I've driven past it so many times that I knew just what those colors looked like if I could just see where the reflection was coming from, over the white tanks. I loved the sunset over the mountains. I always will.

A neighbor remarked
"You have a lot of baggage for someone who likes adventure."
I walked through my cute country house and pondered.
The rest of my life Will be a journey of adventures....but no matter where life takes me, I always want to have home to come back to.

WoRD oF THe Day
PREMIUM : a high value, or a value in excess of what is normally expected; of exceptionally high quality
Brands that fall into the premium category often defy demographics such as age and income and focus more on the mindset of the client. In other words, the space between "luxury" and "mass market" is Premium. Decision are based on passion or interests, not income.
Premium Brand Examples ~ To clarify:
*Automotive: BMW, Lexus and Acura are clear examples of premium products. (Examples of luxury products: Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar and Rolls-Royce; mass-market products: Hyundai, Chevrolet and Ford)
*Retail examples in the United States: Nordstrom, Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn are premium products. (Examples of luxury products: Tiffany, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman-Marcus; examples of mass-market products: Sears, Target and Wal-Mart)
Premium Products Sizzle
Simply put, these days, premium products are ''hot.'' Here are some other premium brands that appeal to a broad mix of people, not just the affluent or more seasoned consumer:
Grey Goose® vodka
Starbucks coffee
Victoria's Secret women's intimate apparel
Viking kitchen appliances
Many people are willing to spend more on products and services that are important to them in spite of their income, a concept called Trading Up.
Here are some words that help describe premium brands:
Tasteful
Refined yet comfortable
Comfortable, reliable and dependable
Modern-day sensibilities combined with an authentic style
Romantic, nostalgic
Elegant yet unpretentious
Warm, inviting . . . authentic

SNOW FLURRIES
It was really cold this morning, and super windy.
And as I left the house there were snow flurries!
The snow flakes were very tiny and very perfect.
I love winter!

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!

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!

FLAT JAKE
My dear friend Mrs Hallaqt teaches 3rd grade. Her class is learning about communities. So they are sharing the love with "Flat Stanley"! I was lucky to get to play along. Cameron sent me a sweet letter and his friend "Flat Jake".
Jake and I have had a blast together and I have now sent the pictures of our adventures back to Cameron and Mrs Hallaqt's class. Flat Jake is on his way to Arizona for more adventures. I thought I would share a bit here too!

I Needed That
I listened to a stranger talk of life and love and happiness.
As he spoke, the words he said were familiar to me;
the happy way he went on, the sparkle in his attitude.
I was mesmerized by him.
As I took a step back and mentally digested
all I had just taken in,
I realized he mirrors my view points, philosophies
and life choices.
We don't get to see ourselves clearly, as others see us.
But this view of myself, through someone else confirms that I am happy with who I am, how I think and feel,
and the paths I have chosen.
I am grateful for this stranger and the shot of self confirmation.

SOUND TRACK
Before I ever came to Kentucky, I had made a sleeping sound track labeled "Kentucky Rain". I had mixed the sounds of gentle rain and a rapid creek. The sound of it would play on the nights I couldn't sleep.
Then I moved to Kentucky. I live by the creek now, I get to hear the rain often, the rustling of leaves, and the happy little critters all add so much to life's real sound track.
I'm a happy girl!

SUNDAY MORNING
I have already been to church this morning. But that's not where I talked with God. We chatted as I drove through the country side, as I viewed all the colors he used creating fall this morning. We chatted as I gathered tomatoes and green beans from my happy little garden. We sat silently together here on my deck, listening to the crickets and birds, hearing the water trickle along the creek, feeling the chilly breeze as it rushes through the trees. We talked, and I was content. But the way he has filled my heart today, once again, tells me I am so loved, and everything is okay.

FALL
The leaves are turning. I have longed to watch this autumn event my whole life. The leaves with their new fall fashions in golds, pinks, reds, burgundies and brown's. The summer feilds are being harvested, the freshly plowed earth is ready to be replanted with winter crops. There has been so much rain, that from my porch you can listen to the rushing creek. There has been fog many mornings, and a few evening too. This morning the fog hung in the trees like it was poured there. Thick in some areas and light in others. The fog was very dense as I traveled down the highway, causing each bend and hill to be new and storybook like. There is a pasture along my drive, with fat happy cows. Next to the pasture there is a beautiful pond surrounded by forest. Beside that forest there were two white horses in a clearing. Beautiful, amazingly beautiful!
I love where I live. This is where I belong!

THE CANDYBAR THIEF
I have a friend who as a very young child, went to the grocery with her mom.
While there, she took a candy bar. When they got home, her theft was discovered.
Her dad loaded her back into the family car and headed to the grocery.
When she tried to return the candy, the store clerk told them that they couldn't return it.
So dad gave his little shoplifter the money to pay the for the stolen treat.
Lesson learned....? Well, the best part of the lesson came on the drive home,
when dad ate the candy in front of the pouty Candy Bar Thief!!

A SUNDAY STROLE
It was very chilly this morning, so I put a cute sweater on the Cheree. Then we headed outside. Like lightning, she was out the door. I had wanted to go across the road and get a good look at the Warren's tobacco barn, but when I turned around to get the retractable leash, I realized that I had locked the door behind me.
....You know that panic that runs through you at that moment, well I only has a second to endure that, as I turned around to see the dog bolting past the barn and onto the road.
The area we live in is very rural, the road is very narrow and the neighbors drive like they had to be there hours ago. So I took off after the dog. She came when I called her, almost! The more I called, the faster she ran. We have lived here for 4 months now, and this was the first time she has gone out of the yard; our yard is an acre, surrounded by fields and a creek, its not like there isnt enough space for the tiny dog. Half way up the road I thought, "I'll go get the car, it will be faster than walking"....but the keys were in the house, and oh ya, the door was locked. By the time I was to the end of the road and up the hill, she was just about as far away as the house was behind me. I had already tried to entice her back by offering treats, so from the top of the hill I yelled "LET'S GO FOR A WALK".
At this point, let me just reiterate what my son has said "She is so cute, but she is stupid blond!"
Yes, in no time at all she was up the other side of the hill to go for a walk. So I grabbed her by that cute sweater and carried her stupid naughty self home. Where she was put on her leash immediately.
Then I could deal with the fact that I had no way to get in the house.
