Perspective

Life with all its ups and downs is really about perspective. When something does not go exactly your way or look like the life you planned for yourself, take a different view. Stand above it, sit down beside it.. or get right down in the middle of and look UP! You might be surprised at how different your problems look from a different view. Life has so much beauty with all the messiness, heart ache and disappointment . For from that springs forth, hope joy and fulfillment! Just try it :)

New Endeavor"s

Almost a year ago, my husband and I began the pursuit of becoming foster parents. We chose to foster to adopt. We began the classes, not knowing what to expect and followed our hearts. We are fully aware that we are choosing to take care of the children until a parent or relative will be able to provide a safe loving nurturing home for them. We know that we will fall in love with each child that passes through our lives ... and then leaves. But isn't it better to love a child and provide a nurturing loving environment for them then the alternative of them remaining in an unstable hurtful environment? To know that though they may grow up and never remember us is OK considering we gave all we were to give them a good start in life and chance of a bright future.

We are beyond excited to complete the process as it is coming to an end. And look forward to this new endeavor in our lives.

Going Going,, Gone!

Spring break is Oooover! So Sad. but I tried to squeeze in every bit of fun and enjoyment with a spoonfull of things I had to do, into my week. Mission accomplished.

Ever notice how time flies by the older you get? Life goes by so FAST. Dont wait to live the life you've always dreamt of. Make those plans and move forward. whatever it is you want to do, to accomplish, to tryout .... DO IT NOW.

As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do. - Zachary Scott

Another year of bliss

Today I celebrated another year of life.Though not every moment can be blissful, I can honestly say I try to focus on the good and my heart overflows with gratefulness. Id hope to think I lived with zest, Ran with the wind in my hair and the sun on my face. Life is beautiful and I choose to see beauty in every day. what a precious gift life is. I pray I wake with joy, Live on purpose and count my blessings daily.

Happy Birthday to Me

Tokens Of Love

When the weeds grow tall and need to be mowed the children go crazy for them. They shreak with excitement. Though we see tall ugly weeds, they see beauty needing to be shared. I can not tell you how many countless "tokens of love" I have received. I find them in my pockets when I go home, in my book bag in my car, in my hair...

But I never tire of being on the receiving end, for they are given with love.

Tokens of Love.

Had to snap this shot of them as the children crowded around.
