A Lovely, Much Needed Day at the Beach



































Nobody is sick. The sun is shining and the temperature is just right. The Daddy has an unexpected day off. God is good. Need I say more? The smiles say it all. :)

Rainy, Dreary and Sickly






















I guess these photos reflect how we are feeling today. I feel sick and blah. The kids have had rounds of fevers for a week now. I think we are on the last kid to have this virus so that is one side of optimism for you. It has been rainy all day and is it me or does that make a sick person feel worse? I feel worse but I do so love to open the windows in the sunroom and hear the rain pitter patter all of the yard. Now, there is something soothing about hearing the rain. I'm growing weary...hopefully just a few more days of this. One thing about sickness is that it forces you to slow down to a stop and realize what is most important in that moment. In a world of such busyness that's a good thing.

You Give Me...What?

It's sneaky. You can't see it so you don't know it's there unless you feel it yourself. One minute you think it's gone and in the next it's back again. It goes up and then it comes back down again. It likes to trick me by allowing energy to be produced then it takes back it's own power. It can make you change colors or suck the color right out of you.

In the last week it has turned my life upside down.

Can you guess what "it" is?

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

You have to try this , it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this!!! It is from an orthopedic surgeon............



This will boggle your mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's pre-programmed in your brain!



1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.



2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.
