Be responsible for your own happiness.

Yes --Women CAN be strong--be smart--be sexy,  be mothers --be wives,  and be powerful--It is Tuesday, April 25th---and WE ARE A PART OF TO_DAY_
_Push your life to a higher level--Be the first to forgive--Enjoy the life you are given--Nothing of value is lost by taking your time--So so much to think about isn't there?
I see the sun, sorta hiding behind a few clouds-but--no snow is falling---and I can even see some sun coming out -
-  It is a brand new day, and we are a part of it--

So many memories---Yu can make memories to-day--
I hope to-day you can reach for the impossible--Make memories--a willing heart sees nothing as impossible--If you enjoy "old Age", then, you have won the game--Right?----and----Be responsible for your own happiness.

    Good morning, Lynda! It is sunny and no heavy frost in Ohio. I will do yardwork this afternoon. You have such a wonderful family. You have so many memories and making many more. You are a very strong woman. I can’t wait to have ice cream with you! I hope you plan a trip soon. Big hugs!

    Good morning, sis.

    We have beautiful blue skies, too. Temp is due to be 70F! The lilac bushes have buds!

    Love the photos. There are some you haven't posted before. The one of Fred at work is great. And on that bike!

    Yes, we have to find things in our life we love to live longer. And be the first to forgive!

    BTW, I looked down all my posts from yesterday. The only thing I posted from your blog is the meme about how "I thought getting old..." You have told me I am welcome to share your memes, but I won't do that any more.

    I really made a big boo boo this morning. I have a keurig type coffee maker. I put the pod in, poured water in the tank and turned it on. I NEVER PUT THE CUP IN! Water all over the counter...what a mess!

    I will check back later. Please have a wonderful day! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

    The part of your blog that stood out to me today was "Enjoy the life you are given." Sometimes I wonder how I can "enjoy" being a widow? I would say the transition to living my life alone has been a slow one, but there are times I look around my home and I give God thanks for all the blessings he has provided for me. And then I realize that I can enjoy my life as it is now. I am sure you sometimes feel the same way! Head up, feet forward as we enjoy the gift of the days we still have ahead of us!

      Oh Sandra--WE have no choice do we??-- I do agree_I do not enjoy being a widow--but when I think that way, I try harder go enjoy something else--it is difficult isn't it, being alone--do your cats help yu a bit??--I remember how yu took such good care of them-Lynda

    Good morning Lynda, I really enjoyed seeing your five children as youngsters. I hope your day has started off on a good note. At least there's no snow or rain. It's so important for us to live the life we've been given, and to live it well. So many people don't have the privilege of living to old age. Enjoy your day.
