Day 365: The End To That Chapter In Life.

WHOA!! 2015 is almost over!! This year went by so quickly, or at least I think it did. Although the month of December does seem to just linger a bit longer. Maybe because I have hope? Hope for the New Year, hope for it to be a good one, and things go right & not wrong. One where family & friends are trustworthy & true. One where everyone is happy & healthy. One that brings peace, and harmony. One that is just stress free & organized......that one I can never get! Haha! So, Cheers! To another year, and another chance to get it right. :)

I found these quotes, and they just sit well with me, and it says things better than I could ever say.

When I give it does not come with strings. I'm not keeping track of what you owe me. When I give, I choose to do so without ulterior motives. I give because I'm genuine. I give because I know what it's like to be without, to long for and be ignored, to speak and not be heard, to care for and have nothing in returned. When I give it's because I get it. It's because I know the value in what I have in my heart and I refuse to let the world stop me from sharing that. But when things start being taken for granted. When you no longer appreciate my sincerity. I won't switch. I won't get angry, and I won't be spiteful. I'll just get smart and I'll change your role in my life. Because when I give, I'm all in. But when I'm done, there's no looking back.

So today, in the present, I offer three promises:
I'll trust you until you show me that you can't.
I'll be consistent as your efforts inspire me to be.
And I'll honor your time which the same respect I give my own.
No games. No gimmicks. No guile.
If you can appreciate this, I can build with you;
if not, I have no time for you.
I've been thru too much to play the same old game,
just to keep getting the same draining results.

Day 364: A Year At A Glance

Hard to believe that tomorrow will be my final photo for my 365 project. 1, whole year down, and a lot of memories, and fun things were created! I enjoy doing this project so much, as it brings Zen to my life. I love how I can pick up my camera, and go on a walk, and shoot what I see and be able to keep it forever. I feel so much calmer after I have walks like those. Photographing my family on the other hand totally creates chaos!! But I love capturing that chaos, it is the memories that make the picture not how perfect it looks. And Kwintyn surely tops the cake with all our family photos that we have had. Oh, the collect I'm gong to have, it will be the greatest! Little does he know that I'm going to make him re-create these photos when he's older. Those will be epic!! LOL!! I thank those who followed my 365 project, and who enjoyed looking at my photos, and saying such wonderful comments. Thank-You!! I'm not sure what kind of project I will do next but I know I will surely be doing something.

Just one more picture!!! Stay tuned to see what the last chapter says. :)

Day 363: Family Game Night

Ok, so it wasn't the whole family playing the games but we did play a few games tonight. Chelsea, Kwintyn, & I, played Operation. So fun! Still jump at that darn buzz! I swear the game is different though besides the pieces they changed, but didn't the old Operation have cards & that is what you went after, and then you would get paid? No cards were in this. It's a free range operation. lol We then played Life, the three of us. Kwin got tired, and quit so Chelsea & I finished up. We played it wrong. LOL We played another game with Keagan, and Frank that was fun. Still missed playing it right. LOL!! So the next time we play, we're good. The games have become so cheaply made, even Connect Four is not the same. They have cheap red & yellow checkers. WTH?! LOL! 

Game night!

Day 362: Baby, It's Cold Outside!!

I'm Mister White Christmas, I'm Mister Snow. I'm Mister Icicle, I'm Mister Ten Below. Friends call me Snow Miser what ever I touch turns to snow in my clutch. I'm to much! Well look who decided to show up!! Mr. Jack Frost & Mr. Snow. Always trying to make a grand entrance with lots of advisories, and always making a storm! Those two!! I have some fine words for those two, but with me being a classy lady, and all........LMAO!! I bet Hell is freezing over, too, or at least an advisory. The whole damn state of Michigan looks to have advisories out, so.. yes, yes, Hell is freezing over right now. Sorry, some lame Michigan humor. If you don't get that you don't know squat about Michigan. LOL!!! Always said we should move there.

Brrrrr........it's really cold outside.

Day 361: I Will Honor Christmas

I have always loved this quote, and I am going to try to remember this so maybe next year I'm in better spirits. :) And......HOLY COW!!! 4, more days left of my 365 project, folks! I've been so busy lately, and feel horrible for not being able to keep up with this as I wanted to, but it happens every year thanks to Christmas hustle & bustle. I'm not sure what I have in store for 2016? Not even sure if I will be on Facebook as much? So, I guess I will see how I feel, and what inspires me.


I will honor Christmas in my heart. And try to keep it all the year.

Day 360: Day After Christmas

Well everything you bought is now on sale or clearance. When will we learn to do Christmas the day after?! LOL!!!!  So happy my kids weren't whining to go to the store to spend their Christmas money & gift cards. Today we went and finally saw my Step dad. He has been transferred to an Acute rehab center, and will be doing therapy there till he can come home, and then it's therapy 3x's a week for him. He looked really good, so I was happy about that. I guess I'm glad that I didn't have to see him when he wasn't looking to hot like other family members had. Sounds like he has a good outcome, and that makes me happy!

Wise words, here.

Day 359: Merry Christmas!!

We had a nice Christmas, and I hope the kids are happy with what we got them. To me, it didn't feel like Christmas. I, guess I just didn't get in to it this year. :( I just felt really stressed this year, even though I got an early start. I just can't tell you why I didn't rock around the Christmas tree this year. I did enjoy it, though. Frank, & I were really excited for the big kids gift this year! Ya'll ready for this?! Still think I'm a little crazy for saying yes. Keagan got a tattoo kit!! Kyle got 12" subs, and an amp for his truck, Kameron got a phone. They got some clothes too, but those were the big gifts. Chelsea got a scrapbook kit, and some sharpie's, and shoes, clothes, & some games, amongst many girly items. Kwintyn got a Hot Wheels from Santa...just what he wanted! And some Paw Patrol toys, and clothes, and games. I'm sure I'm leaving things out. But they seem to like everything.

 We were invited to my Sisters for Christmas this year. They always do such a nice dinner, and it's always really good, too! We got new that my Step Dad got moved to the Acute Rehab Center so that was wonderful for Christmas. He will be in there for a bit working his muscles, and getting stronger, & all that. We draw names for Christmas gifts there, and that is always fun.


Merry Christmas!! 2015
