Everybody should just make a conscious decision to be happy & to have a good day - every morning. It's easier to be happy than angry. Anger uses up a lot of energy that could be used for SMILING.
The trick is to figure out a way to live within your means, & want what you have, not what you want.

~ Realizing ~
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
~ Friends ~
The best kind of friend
is the one you could sit on a porch with,
never saying a word,
and walk away feeling like
that was the best conversation you've had.

Stronger Than Before
"Broken wings take time to mend,
Before they learn to fly again.
On the breath of God they’ll soar,
They’ll be stronger than before.
Don’t look back into the past,
What was fire now is ash.
Let it all be dead and gone,
The time is now for moving on."
~ Janny Grien
Portion of her song lyrics

Life is like a flower, it grows from a seed, blossoms into a precious bud that opens into a glorious bloom ... that one day will fade away.

~ Memory ~
He who is not very strong in memory, should not meddle with falsehoods
~ Friendship ~
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives & remembering what one receives.
~ Unspoken ~
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of its behind. (Joseph Stillwell)
Don’t speak to me...
... about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people.
Don't tell me how much you love your god; show me in how much you love all his children.
Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors.
In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give....

When the mirror of life reveals our backside.....our past....do we smile and reveal the love and blessings of Christ? or do we hide amongst the pain that pulls us down?

ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
The Bennie and I have been digging in the dirt, hope to have lots of things with blooms later.
ReplyDeletePatsy
Have fun playing in the dirt Marydon!! Smear some on your face for me. LOL

I need to price some more things for my SHOPPE since it is not outside weather!!

Never ending ....I mowed today until it started raining and so now I am catching up on some blog friends.
Love
Maggie
Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI was sitting in my garden looking around at all the things I wish I could do if I weren't recovering and imagining that very thing, planting and fixing my yard up.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Oh Marydon, Isn't it wonderful???? I love "Diggin' in the Dirt" also!!!! Spring is just fabulous.....
ReplyDeleteI'll come and play with you ---AFTER I get all of this weeding, raking and digging done here... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
What a productive day. I did get a walk at lunch time and it was in the 90s. Won't complain, so nice to be outside in warm weather. Can't wait to see your handiwork in person. Lots of hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Marydon..
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for your visits and all your sweet comments and good wishes. You're such a sweet lady and I always enjoy it when you come for a visit.
I love the little puppy and I would love to come dig in the dirt. There's nothing I like better than gardening..I'm not so good with flowers, except for the wildflowers, but can I ever grow vegetables. And I love it. Love feeling the dirt in my hands, planting..and watching my plants grow. It's getting so my back doesn't allow me to do so much.. I need raised beds so as not to have to bend so.
hugs...CC
p.s. Love that pink egg.. :)
The weather is great, have fun digging in the dirt! "One is nearer God in the garden than anywhere else on earth!"
ReplyDeleteKatherine
what a fun blog you have... and sweet grandkids!! You have SO much energy!!!!! you go girl
ReplyDeleteOur weather has been wet. So we have mud!
ReplyDeleteMelinda
I need to get out there..but I keep putting it off. All carried away with inside I guess.
ReplyDeleteThat Spokeo is sort of odd. They don't have me married or owning our home. If anyone wants financial info they have to pay.. :)
I have heard of sites like that but first one I had ever visited and seen. There sure are a lot of people with my name which is fascinating...I thought my name was so rare. There are at least 6 of us. Grief! Thanks again for the "heads up" Marydon. :)
Hugs,
Mona
I've loved dirt since I was a tiny tot! Dug in the dirt yesterday, but today that cold front blew through and dropped out temps by 20 degrees with a stiff north wind. That's spring time in Oklahoma: up and down up and down.
ReplyDeleteLiz
It's fun to play in the dirt! I learned it from my boys.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marydon, for your kind comments on my blog. Have a happy, warm and sunny spring!... and some dirt, of course, to play in it!
Its a lovely dy in the UK today too and I'm hoping for a bit of gardening on Saturday and a nice walk on Sunday...still a day and a half at work first though boo.....
ReplyDeleteKaren
I'm afraid the employees at Lowes will soon be calling me by my first name!
ReplyDeleteHave a blast in the dirt...
ReplyDeleteBad thing here is that the dirt is in the air. We have sandstorms out in West Texas all thru spring...hence, Spring isn't my favorite time of the year.
Thanks for stopping by..
xo bj
Have fun digging and planting... flowers?
ReplyDeleteI have to wait a few more weeks for it to warm up here.
Blessings!
Gwen
Have a great day gettin' down and dirty! I just had a big old dump truck of mulch delivered yesterday that callin' my name but it is cold, very cold today. Hard freeze warnings for tonight and tomorrow then maybe...just maybe I'll be playin' in the dirt too. Not to mention buildin' me some major muscles! Heeehehehe!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful day playin'!!!
Can't come out to play today Marydon. It is pouring rain. Maybe tomorrow. Valerie
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you took out all those lilacs and now are going to put lilacs back! :)
ReplyDeleteI worked in the yard all day today, and I had to stop and smell the lilacs often!
Hope your weekend is going well.
