It is Never Too Late!


On Sunday, also Mother’s Day, it will be one year since I graduated from college. I was 50, but never gave up on my dream. To all of the graduates everywhere, never lose your vision, never give up hope. Believe in yourself! If you don’t, nobody else will! God Bless all of you!

Kat’s Korner: It is a Beautiful Day!

I am writing this while enjoying the sunshine streaming in through the windows. It is so nice to have a sunny day with the temperature above freezing, or at least above zero!

I have spent most of this day catching up on house cleaning and laundry. I have fallen behind lately.

As like many of you, I haven’t felt too well lately. I had a touch of the flu. I have also had a cold.

I feel much better today. I do believe the sunshine and warmth is helping.

We should all count our blessings though. The bitter cold days we have endured are nothing in comparison to what those in the south and east of us have had to deal with.

The snow and ice seem to be endless for them. I am hoping there is an end in sight for them as enough is enough!

Spring is just around the corner. I can’t wait to see green grass and flowers in bloom again!

I had to sign us up for health insurance the other day.

It took all day for me to do so. Not because it is a bad thing, as many people insist it is, but because I had many questions to ask and much research to do.

Negativity is very annoying to me. I find it shocking how people are so eager to see the bad in things while ignoring the good.

There isn’t one person that can positively say the Affordable Care Act is bad or a failure.

It is like anything else, only time will tell.

Instead of saying negative things, have faith that it will all work out for the best.

What is your favorite Spring/Summer outdoor activity?

I have several. I love to go for a walk. I enjoy walking in different areas when I can, taking in the views from all over the countryside.

We take our dog Tucker to the Logan during the summer. He loves jumping in and cooling off.

I also like to jog and walk in the park. Outside activity is fun and energizing!

What I enjoy the most is lounging on the deck or patio, sipping on tea, reading a book, or grilling and enjoying the evening with Jeff.

I am getting more anxious for warm, outdoor weather the more I write this!

I am going outside now to soak in some sun and get Vitamin D!

Until next time, enjoy the sunshine, and when all else fails, make your own sunshine! Smile!

Denise’s Tidbits


I consider every week, actually every day, interesting. I like to find something new and exciting about it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always turn out that way. As long as I go to bed with a new form of knowledge each day, I consider it a blessing.

Here are some of the tidbits I have found interesting this week.

  1. I read a report on sex trafficking. I am amazed at how much of this goes on each and every day throughout the world. It is disgusting to me that people do such a thing to others. What are your thoughts on this issue?
  2. I love sports as much as anyone and am just as guilty of talking entirely too much about it. I can say that I don’t care who wins the Super Bowl. I am not a fan of either team. I am astounded to have learned this week how much sex trafficking occurs on a higher level during sporting events, such as the Super Bowl. Did you know prominent people, such as doctors, lawyers, etc. participate in this? I wasn’t surprised to know that politicians do.
  3. There is a lady in Iowa, an elderly lady, that didn’t get her sidewalks scooped. The city ticketed her. Other residents near her haven’t scooped their walks, but were not ticketed. The city’s response was: They ticket people according to complaints they have received. That is shameful. It should be the same rules for all. What I don’t understand is, why don’t people help scoop other’s walks instead of turning them in?
  4. I wonder what will happen on Ground Hog’s Day? I am hoping for Spring, soon! I think we could use some moisture however. The ground has some cracks in it. The farmers really need some help.
  5. I am hoping that the Olympics go off without a hitch. If I had one wish that could be granted, it would be world peace. I pray for it every day.

 

Until next time, enjoy each and every day!

Never be afraid to speak up!!!
