The newness of life

When the heart is stretched, the dreams sent reeling, the visions swimming & the pulse of the vital organ known as our heart with vigorous beats to bring a new beat of joy.

One, a dream that some may try to squelch, but let that not hinder what has been put there.

I dream and I DREAM rather large. It is odd that as time goes by, some forget what their dreams are. Why?
Well sometimes it is because there are those who become Naysayers.
Those that are not supportive by either making doubt settle into a seed of ambiguity.
Maybe it is by others not being an encourager.
I say "PISHAH" and "KEEP DREAMING"!!!

My Dreams are Big BODACIOUS DREAMS!
Some of them are rather detailed because they have been there for a very long time.
Others are new ones that have crept into existence of my inner most parts because they are un-explainable and "out of the box"!

I can hardly wait for them to come to fruition.

What? What? What???

So some things have come to my mind and really challenged my thinking and possibly a mantra.

* What do You want from __________?

* What are you willing to do in order to achieve it?

* What are you willing work hard for and to sacrifice in order to make it happen? (especially when others tell you it can't be done!)

well . . .. for ONE WEEK I have really been thinking, pondering and reflecting! "Ana" What are your DREAMS?!!! What drove those DREAMS? Are you still DREAMING? Why or why not?

I DID! They brought me great JOY. I temperarily got side tracked from some Naysayers however, they are my DREAMS and now I am DREAMING AGAIN because the Lord put them there in my heart!

Now the bitter cold

Faith is ecstatic because they have NO SCHOOL for the third day in a row! AMAZING!!!!!

She was told very very early from a reliable source and then I passed it on to others also. Well . . . now the bitter cold was the reason for us not having school for the third day (at least two of us were thrilled with that possibility) but we all ate some humble pie, so we thought, when one said, "That's not correct, because I know we were told that we do have school." We were excited for Faith and her thrill for the opportunity to make some fun memories baking. Well you know . . . It is always good to keep in mind that we are all learners at all stages of this life we live! Faith had accurate information. Faith shared that information of the bitter cold "snow day". ;-) Faith handled it correctly by smiling and remaining excited regardless what others said. We excited to share you snow day/bitter cold day Faith!

So here is the deal. Some days when we have all the facts set straight, share those facts there will be some who feel the need to tell us we are incorrect, because of not wanting to believe what we say.

I can hardly wait to see what will come of the Day tomorrow!

Have a FABULOUS FUN FILLED day FAITHY!!!
Love Mom!

Snow, snow, snow

Oh my goodness did it ever snow like crazy here. I love the snow and my children have had fun in the snow and so did Kent and I having an early date Monday morning over a nice cup of coffee and fruit oatmeal. We later discovered we needed to return to dig for my van keys and key less entry remote. Thank Goodness for a prayer, a shovel and persistence. They were found while I was indoors digging through a trash receptacle. Ewwwww.


I still enjoyed the snow events with Kent and a waiting the sunrise, looking into his wonderful blue eyes and knowing we have spent a quarter of a century together!
