Happy Thanksgiving 2015 !!!

Today I am going to be cooking and celebrating with my family and counting my blessings for our  grateful life we have.  I pray that everyone has a safe and blessed Thanksgiving.   I will also say a pray for those loved ones we have lost.  This is my favorite day of the year to celebrate !

Santa was suppose to arrive today, but he now arrives at the mall the beginning of November and he charges money to sit on his lap.  I hope he pays his elves a lot, or perhaps he has become as greedy as the rest of corporate America.  You can call me old fashion as I don't agree with starting the Christmas season before Thanksgiving.  As a child the excitement of Christmas started, when Santa arrived on a sleigh during The Macy's Parade.    What has happened to tradition.  I am glad that my children got to enjoy the Christmas season as I did.   By the time I have some grandchildren, Santa will be at the Mall in July.  LOL!

Well I better get busy and feed my hungry husband and count our blessings that we are survivors.
Blessings to all cancer survivors and their caregivers.  You are amazing courageous people.


Life is beautiful !!

Life Is Beautiful !!!

I broke down and cried today with tears of joy.  I have had a life time dream to have my own shop to display my own creations, and I never let go of the dream.  With the encouragement of some dear friends I finally got my act together and had some fun sewing away.  I previewed some of my creations today and within a matter of an hour I made my first sale.  I am happy to say that part of the proceeds from the sales are going to cancer research.  Never give up on your dreams.  I am hoping that my on-line shop will be open by next week. 

Thank you so much to my friends who have stuck by my husband and I through some difficult times.  You are our inspiration.  They say to follow your heart and it will bring you to your passion.  The daily devotion of gratitude for all that is good in life has made me a believer in myself.  I have had a plaque in my sewing office for a couple of years that says "Wish It, Dream It, Do It".   Today I did it. 

There is no turning back now.  Life is beautiful !!!
