Compliment of the day:
Lavender, you know how to open yourself up
Thanks Me!

I think of myself as open minded, I was not always like this and I am not like this when confronted with someone who is not open. I am working on that last part. I have learned that the more open I am to learn, to listen, to see, the more I understand about myself.
I am open minded when it comes to politics, I will hear what anyone has to say and if we disagree, it is okay, no big deal. I am open minded when it comes to love, I mean if people are loving, what does it matter if they are same sex or not, if they have open marriages or not, etc. It does not threaten what my marriage is, if you are putting love out into the world what does it matter?
I am open minded when it comes to religion, just because it was not a good fit for me does not make it a bad fit for all. If people find balance and love in church, temples, kingdom halls, etc, Balance is good! Hope is Good! Faith is Good! I am open to all religions because if you look at the base of all of them, it is a message of Love, and what is wrong with that?

I believe that if I am open and accepting to all, that I will be accepted by more. By loving more I can receive more love. By being kind to strangers, Strangers will be kind to me. By opening myself up and releasing the goodness in me, I will receive goodness in return.

I have been doing very little house cleaning wise.
I have spent a lot of time this week with family
I have been waking up at 5:45 (by waking up I mean I hear the alarm go off and hear Mr. L slam the snooze and fall back asleep and repeat this pattern about 4-6 times) so we can try to get Mr. L out of the house earlier. This has been making my coffee addiction stronger, 1 1/2 cups no longer makes me want to keep my eyes open. I do best with three cups now.

Today I MUST!!!!
* put laundry away from the top of the wooden chest so I can get the extra blanket out because it is cold at night and we need another layer.
* put laundry away that is in the 3 baskets on the floor
* Put laundry away that is laying on the loveseat
* edit the pictures I took of my brother and sister with step mom on Monday
* shower and do yoga on my own because once a week is not going to help me make the progress I need.

ramble

Hello friends, sorry I have not been around too much lately. I have tripped over something and fell into a puddle of sad. ;-( I do this every once in a while, just get a little sad, feel a little down, lay on the couch a little more than usual. I am sure many of you know what I am talking about, the place where you just don't have the energy to do anything besides click the TV remote. I am hopefully waking up from it now. *crosses fingers*

Here are a few photos from my 4th of july. We went to my MIL's home and my BIL blew up stuff. Haha! We played with light and sparklers. Fun Stuff for me! I will be back tomorrow to read up on you all, see how your holiday was.

True love carved in wood
with tiny knives and golden keys
for all the world to see
M+P true love always
Screaming it from rooftops
echoes eventually end
but love carved in a living tree
forever and ever and ever
scarred in the tree
your decoration of Love
true love always?

Another Hodge podge of photo's from yesterday's walk. It was a bit windy and chilly. I got attacked by yet another orange cat wanting to be loved. Who am I to say no to kitties that want to purr and be scratched under soft chins. I am unsure of a walk today, it is supposed to be nasty. Maybe : )

My BFF made this necklace for me at Christmas. I am just getting around to posting it now. I got ready for a family dinner and had a few minutes to spare so I snapped these photos to show it off.
I also managed to poke myself in the eye pretty badly while applying my make-up. It is still all red and swollen. It has been 4 days. sigh...
