Happy Thanksgiving to you my dear friend! I just listened to your sweet voice on my answering machine! That was a special "Good Morning" blessing! Have a blessed day dear Marydon! Big Hugs from Georgia!
Just wanted to say good morning, Marydon, while I have my quick morning cuppa! I have company coming for a big Thanksgiving breakfast! With family scattering from there, I will be serving our big Turkey dinner tomorrow!... Wishing you a blessed and very Happy Thanksgiving! ((hugs)) ~tina
Hope you have a wonderful day too. My friend Janet said."Gobble til you Wobble" but I think I'll try to have a little self control. Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Marydon, SO SO SORRY I have not been here when you called lady. I can't believe I missed you twice. ugh! One of these days I HAVE to be here I think. lol Hugs!
Oh yes.... It's been quite chilly here....we've been frozen! But, today we're back to our NORMAL weather....wind and rain. Yipppeee! We're supposed to have a really cold winter according to the forecasters. Gosh, I sure hope they change their minds of that one. We already lost our little canvas patio cover....I think it's about the forth or fifth one already. DARN it all.... I'm tired of buying the darn things. Craigster just had rotator cuff surgery so he wasn't going out there to rescue it...and I don't get on ladders anymore. Quite a pair we are.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm so glad to have that mess all cleaned up!
I love your "Love is...." They bring back so many memories. When we were first married I had a bunch of the rubber magnets all over the fridge *hugs*deb
I wanted to come by for my hug tonight friend. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had six children under the age of five running around like crazy these passed two days and it was awesome. They've all gone home now and the house is again quiet. hugs
Hi Marydon, Hope your Thanksgiving day was special. We had a nice day here and the day was very cold. Today it warmed up and full of sunshine.
Thank you for stopping by and your sweet comment. Good Luck in my giveaway. Have a wonderful holiday weekend dear friend. Love and hugs too, Celestina Marie
Hi Marydon! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It's such a great time of year to be able to spend with family and friends and reflect on all which God has richly blessed us with!
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 ~ Stronger Than Before
A fool is known by his speech; and a wise man by silence.
~ A Rose ~
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. (written for Marie 2/2/13 entered heaven 3/27/13)
The biggest sin one can create for their selves is deceit
A good marriage is the union of two forgivers. ~ Ruth Bell Graham
~ Poignant ~
Our mind is our garden Our thoughts are the seeds So we can grow flowers Or we can grow weeds
Where will you be sitting in eternity ... Smoking ... OR ... Non-smoking
~ 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.
~ A Friend... ~
A true friend unbosoms freely, advises, justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, & continues a friend unchangeably.
~ Insight ~
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....
Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey
~ Rose Kisses ~
A rose will bud, bloom & glow Beneath the heavenly skies Kissed by God To bring a smile. by Marydon
~ Life's Mirror ~
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?
The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost
Sometimes
... a storm in your life is what will blow you to the place you are longing to be. ~ Beth Moore
I Am A Christian & A Catholic ...
...do not attack others for their beliefs … let them worship as they please

The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.
(William James)

Is To Restore ~
~ Truly Love ~
All that matters in the end is you truly loved.
~ Forgiving Love ~
The unjust live happily ever after, getting exactly what they wanted. Forgive them, for they know what they have done.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass-It's about learning to dance in the rain.(TY Sandi)

~ A Bump In the Road ~
When you reach a bump in the road, you're not the only person to ever reach that particular bump & you're not the last. It's how you handle that bump that matters.
~ Life Is Short ~
Break the rules ... Forgive quickly ... Kiss slowly ... Love truly ... Laugh uncontrollably ... Never regret anything that made you smile.
~ Lifes Shadows ~
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine
~Shine A Little Light~
I just read that kids brighten the home ~
That’s because they never turn off the lights.

~ WHY ~
I questioned 'WHY?!', He continued to listen. I turned a deaf ear, He spoke softly. I struggled & floundered, He continued to hold me up. I closed my eyes, He touched my heart. I looked for answers, He was patient. I begged for strength to endure, He gave me love.(Written by Marydon Ford)
~ Just Maybe ...~
If things aren't the way you want them to be, it just might be your fault.
~ Mind Set ~
Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up & permanently set.(TY Judy)
~ Good Morning ... ~
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 DEVIL vs WOMAN ~~
I want to be the kind of woman that when my feet hit the floor each morning the devil says "OH CRAP....She's up!!"

To handle yourself, use your headTo handle others, use your heart.

God gives every bird it's food, but He does does not throw it into its nest.

~Hook, Line, Sinker~
Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be fish.
~~~ The Heart ~~~
Sometimes the heart seeswhat is invisible to the eye.
~ Ancient Words of Wisdom ~
There are three things that inspire confidence in (one's) character: common sense; a polite, well disposed attitude & a sound moral reputation.
~~ Gentle Thoughts ~~
Did you ever notice: When you put these 2 words together 'The' and 'IRS' ... it spells 'THEIRS'.
~~ ART OF DISCRETION ~~
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
Blessings and best wishes to you and yours for this Thanksgiving.
