A few of my favorite things...

White Flowers I buy myself as much as I can.

Saturday quiet time alone with a chick flick and a bottle of Late Harvest Riesling.

Happy Day

Presidents Day @ The Morgan house means happy babies content that mom is home for the whole day with them.

Life is good-GOD IS GREAT!

Happy Birthday Dad!

It's hard to believe that you've been gone for 1 year, harder still to believe that today is your birthday and death day combined, but then again that was your way. Your way all the way. I miss you all the time, with every breathe, every thought of you, and every moment still. I miss everything about what we shared together, everything that was just me and you. Thank you dad for all that I got from you, all that you left me with, all the encouragement I still keep with me. Thank you for trying many times as hard as you could. I wish I had tried harder, and more so I wish I had understood how I could have been more of a help to you. I love you so much.

A year ago I could not imagine my life without either of my parents, it was incomprehensible. There was simply no way to wrap my head around it. In a blink of eye my father was gone, and although the pain of having lost him in just a seconds time is severe, I am truly thankful for the love and mercy of GOD that it was quick for him, painless and without the drawn out measure of approaching the end. It was just as he would have wanted it. No more, no less. He always said, "I am what I am." Even though my earthly father has left me, I will always have my heavenly father. How great is GOD that he will never leave me? Love your parents every moment you have!

Be Well A

Parties and painting and teeth oh my!

The past week has been so busy for me. Finding a quiet and immediate end on Saturday morning where I heard my lungs and mouth meet together for a long and truthful exhale. My little way of letting go of all that I had accomplished, completed and made it through.

I painted the living room. Something I had wanted to do for a long time, but the fact that I was throwing a party on Friday was what got me motivated.

Last Sunday Bub had all his teeth pulled and got his new choppers. Poor baby was all I could think of while I nursed him back to health..... the thing is the better he feels the more naughty he becomes..... go figure. It's time for him to go back to work. *I feel like the lady who chases the mouse around the kitchen with a broom* OUT YOU GO!!! Some of the naughty probably comes from the fact that he is quitting smoking too, but it's naughtiness all the same.

Hosted a little jewelery party on Friday night. I love to party, and even more I love to host parties. I wish I had the space for bigger parties, but I do what I can I hope others enjoy my kind of hospitality.

So it's been busy and it's been new and improved, it's even been delightful. Praise GOD for my home, praise GOD for the ability to get Bubba the medical help he has so needed. Praise GOD for dear friends and the pleasure of their company. Praise GOD for each moment I'm given to sit back and exhale, to marvel at all I have, to be gracious and recount all the details that make up my life.

Be Well
