Home Page: written down

I have always loved the quote I used on this page, but on Friday, I realised how true it is. DH has been having a sad and thoughtful week for a variety of reasons. My Friday was completely overshadowed by my concern for him and my first priority was to rush home to him. People that know us as a couple know how unlike us that is – we are very fond of each other, but sometimes travel separately, which some people seem to find very odd and assume we are having ‘trouble’. Others think that I am perhaps a wee bit spoiled. DH always says “I have you forever, I can spare you for a week or two.” This week though I realised how important his happiness is to mine.
btw the top line of script isn’t supposed to be squint, but I didn’t want to rescan :-)

I have been doing this for years, but the first day of term always makes me incredibly nervous. Today I realised that that is ok – I should be nervous. I want these little people’s first experience of school to be wonderful and that is worth being nervous about. It is also a bit like going on stage, after all. Happy faces on!

This is from Shimelle’s prompt for 7 Sept, as I am using each day’s prompt to reflect on the previous day’s learning. My sister and I are both amazed that she has turned 30, but she is feeling much happier about it now than she was. Our mad little ‘evolving’ analogy is explained on my blog…This photo is when she was 28, it is my favourite of her.

I have a terrible phobia of daddy-long-legs! Urgh – I hate the things! Over the years my phobia has got worse. On Wed evening I was trapped in my living room for hours as one was in the hall – I had to wait for dp to come home and get it! I hate this time of year as there seems to be hundreds of them about!

I really didn’t want to do a page about this, but I felt so stupid trapped in my living room! Anyway, I realised that I really should do something about my phobia as it is now affecting my life.

No photo (certainly NOT putting a photo of them in!) so I have just lifted one of Shimelle’s “no photo” layouts!

TFL!

My husband and I never shop at the mall on weekends,
but today we thought we had to reguardless of the
crowds. Our very special granddaughter is going to
have a birthday soon and we need to get her package
in the mail. I found it funny watching my husband pick
things out, he doesn’t like to go shopping, but today he
found things that were just perfect for our girl.

I guess the lesson is you can mix just fine with the
crowd if you have a mission. We took a picture of
the gifts we bought, I only need to find one more
thing to be ready to mail the birthday box.

I didn’t scrap this on the 8th, although I did drink that wine. My lesson for today was that sometimes there are more important tings to do than the thing that you had planned. My DH is really supportive of me scrapping and never moans when I buy stash but tonight after a busy week I felt that it was more important to sit and catch up on our busy week and share a bottle of wime.
So now I’m a day behind but that’s not the end of the world :-)

I esed the Love Life sticker and three bits of the strip – be flexible, listen to your heart and laugh often love much.

Catching up on my postings here.

My entry for 5 September after 3 attempts at uploading a picture the day before I finally read Shimelle’s instructions properly LOL

A very busy day at work taught me this lesson

Others see a lot more in you than you might see yourself.

Todays prompt from Shimelle fitted exactly with what I was thinking. So often I worry about other people taking a berak I forget to take one myself. But I must remember I am not essential and giving myself a break means I am more energised when I go back to work.

We had such a hot, dry summer I found myself spending
most of my time inside. We have gotten some lovely
rain and the temperatures are now in the 70’s, perfect. I had forgotten about the beautiful blooms we get
in September, some of the prettiest of the year. This
morning I found these beauties when I stepped outside.

Today my group did a variety show at a nursing home
and the people in our audience loved our show. When
we sing songs that were special to them when they were
young their eyes just light up. One lady told me she
hadn’t laughed in a long time and it made her feel so
good. The lady in the picture lives at this home and
it just happens she was my daughter’s 4th grade
teacher. It made her so happy we remembered her.
The lesson learned is it doesn’t take a lot of work
to make a difference in someone life. In fact we
all sing, dance and do comedy because we love to
perform. That’s a win-win for sure.

Well, like I said before, we were on vacation during Labor Day weekend, and we went to Charleston, SC. The entire week before, we’d closely watched the news because Hurricane Ernesto was making his way up the eastern coast and we just knew that he was going to be spending the weekend with us. Luckily, he moved pretty quickly and our vacay was saved!! So, I learned that day that hurricanes don’t always have the power to ruin a vacation.

TFL!
