Winter Walk


Beautiful Winter Sky



      Since I wasn't sure how long the snow would last today, I decided to get out and take a walk with my camera.  The snow on the ground froze my toes, but I was able to get some beautiful shots.  Even the clouds cooperated with me, especially in this picture. 

     So, if you love looking at the beauty of a winter's scene, but just don't wanna get cold...then enjoy my winter's walk.  It is so much nicer to enjoy a winter's walk inside at your computer, with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee by your side and a blanket on your lap!!

     So, stay warm and enjoy the beauty!!

3 Guys 3 Questions Podcast

     Aaaahhh!!!!  I am showing my lack of technical abilities here!!  I have tried all different ways to add the podcast to the blog, so that it will continuously give the most update podcast.  I will have to figure out a way to get the blog "subscribed" to be able to do that!  I will probably be asking Adam, he will most likely be able to do it in no time flat!

     In the meantime, please click on the following link, http://3g3q.co/ , and it should take you right to their website.  Listen to a few of their shows.  Enjoy.  Subscribe, and follow them.  It is that easy!

     I love that these young men are taking something that is of interest to them and just running with it!  They could have just sat in their rooms talking about starting a show.  But they chose to take the next step and follow through on it, and voila, a podcast is born.  They enjoy it, they hope that you enjoy it, and that just makes life more enjoyable!! 

     So, enjoy, and tell me what you think.  While you are on their website, let them know what you think, too.  And in the meantime, I will continue to try to get the podcast to be loaded onto the blog...just bare with me!!



Cool Changes to the Blog

    Change is good, or so I've heard.  So, I am making some changes to the blog and I hope that you enjoy the improvements!  The first thing that you will notice is that I have added additional pages that you will find in the tabs along the top.

     As part of my New Year's resolution to enjoy each day more, I have chosen to throw some of my interests into the blog on separate pages.  If you share those interests at all (or just wanna be nosy), you can see what I have to say or show you.  Who knows, you may be interested too!  I would love to hear your comments on my posts and to get some interesting conversations going.

    I have always loved photography, but been scared of wasting all that film over the years.  But digital photography has changed all that!  Now, if I don't like my pictures, I can just hit the delete button and pretend they never existed!  And you guys get to enjoy all the fruits of my labor in this area!  By clicking on that heading, you can check out my view on the world.  It may be twisted, it may be beautiful...only you can decide what it means to you!

    I am also excited to spotlight some of my favorite people...the adventurous, the dreamers, the doers!  They are the ones that are starting on their dreams while working full-time jobs. They are sometimes taking the jump into the unknown, if possible.  Sometimes, they are just making the little jumps and just trying out new interests.

     If I can get it to load up right, today I will be adding another new twist that spotlights my stepson, Adam, along with two of his friends.  It is a podcast called "3 Guys 3 Questions".  They each come to the podcast with a question that all three of them have to answer.  I hope that you will enjoy this new feature (and I hope that my limited technical ability will allow me to load it!!)  If not, it may be another day before you can enjoy, but I will accomplish this somehow!

     Wish me luck with the podcast!!  And I hope that you enjoy the additions to the blog!  Keep following along and let me know what you think...the good, the bad, and the ugly!!

Make the most of each and every day!

     Happy New Year!!! I hope that everyone has had a wonderful beginning to the new year.  Whether you partied out with friends or stayed home with family, we all welcomed in the new year with wishes for good health and many blessings.

     This year, I am making only one resolution:  To make the most of each and every day! 

     Life is too short to do anything else.  Spend quality time with friends and family.  Follow your dreams. Take that trip.  Pull out that special china.  It doesn't matter what this means to you.  Just enjoy!

     I have people in my life that think that I've lost my mind with some recent changes that I've made.  Maybe I have lost my mind, ...that is beside the point!  LOL

     But the truth is, I am happy with where life is taking me.  I am making changes everyday that are taking me in the direction that I want to go.  I am no longer just existing and making it through each day.  I have taken control of where I am going and I love it!

     With the start of the new year, I am going to continue more of the same.  I plan on adding more of my interests to this blog.  So, if you have an interest in the same area, please follow along.  I also know some fascinating people that have done just that and I would like to introduce you to them.  They have chosen to start their own blogs or podcasts.  They have started a writing career while still teaching.  They are starting a homestead on their own.

     Once you meet some of these people, you will no longer question following your own dreams.  You will realize that it is just a choice that you make everyday to do something that you love to do.  So, don't let anything stop you this year from what you love (unless it is illegal or immoral...that should stop you! LOL).  But for everything else, go for it!

    Who knows?  It might be you that I will be spotlighting by 2016 because you will be an inspiration to other, too!
