Beautiful weekend weather here...and I made sure to take advantage of it today! I made sure to get the bunny outside in the yard and, it felt so good, that I stayed out there keeping him company. We made a point of grilling out for supper. Only chose to come back inside when the mosquitos started coming out! They win!!!
This has been a very crazy month and last week was no exception. I had two programs in one week at work. I had a great time with the presentation, because it was about one of my passions (family history). But, it still kept me extra busy!
So, today it felt wonderful to just take some time to breathe. I got some stuff done, but more than anything, I just enjoyed the day!
Even if it feels like it is only for a few minutes, take the time to jump off the crazy merry-go-round of life and catch your breath. Even though I have always loved riding the merry-go-round in the park, one of the best feelings was to jump off of it, get your body to come to a stop and just catch your bearings again. Time to do that more often in life, too!

Inspiration from Jenna!
There are some days that I think God manages to put just the right words in front of you. If I find just the right words in a book, or a blog, that I'm reading; I usually, I will usually take a few days to take the words in and digest them. Today, was one of those days!
I would like to introduce you to someone that I am highly motivated by in my quest to follow my dreams. Jenna Woginrich has found a way to make a living and follow her dream. I try to read her blog (www.coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com) every chance I get. Some days, I get behind and read a few posts at a time.
Even when you are following your dreams, you still can feel overwhelmed. Jenna reminded me to still keep on going. Please click on the following link (coldantlerfarm: Keep Going) and be inspired to keep following your dream, no matter your fears. Hopefully, you will be inspired to continue reading her blog, also. Let me know what you think!

Old friends are the best
"Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold."
How many of you have heard, or sang, that song over the years? I remember learning it as a child. Back then, that's all it was, ...a song. But many, many years later, I realize the very real wisdom in those words.
I have made many new friends over the years, but nothing compares to old friends that know you better than you know yourself. The kind that don't even have to ask what's wrong. The kind that wouldn't believe you anyway, when you tried to say "I'm fine." The kind that would do anything for you without asking any questions.
I have been truly blessed to have these amazing ladies in my life for so long. I met one in 3rd grade, one in 6th, and one in high school. And one, I didn't actually meet until a few years ago, but we have been pen pals since the age of ten. Now, we are on the cusp of middle-age (the very, very beginning cusp, mind you!!!! LOL) and I still can't wait to see what life has in store for all of us. But, no matter what, I know for a fact that these ladies will still be there with me for the ride.
I asked my grandma one day, how long she had been friends with these two women from our church. She told me that Gert had been her friend since they were about fifteen or so, and Pauline, since their early 20's. My grandma was nearing 90 at that time, and the ladies were also still by her side.
I tell you this because I want my friends to still be there with me as we all are hitting our 90's. We are only halfway there now, and I can't wait to see what the other half of the ride will be like!!!
Tell me all about your oldest and dearest friends, and some of your best memories...or how you know they have your back. I would love to hear all about it!
