Sipping green tea while writing this blog. The computer is having a temperamental day. Already two issues but they are at least resolving themselves - so far. Can't complain - been lucky when it comes to computer issues. (knocking on wood)
Saw my friendly, early-morning woodpecker again today. I suspect there are bugs and spiders hidden away at the top of that light pole. He insists on pecking at a pipe that the light is attached to. I get to see him nearly every day. Thought I would be able to identify him from pictures on the Internet but I've had no luck. He definitely has red near his chest or maybe it's under his wings you can see when he flys. Someday I'll figure it out!
My sisters' birthday is this weekend! Yeah! I wish so that I could go see her!! Time and expense will keep that from happening this year but will not keep me from making her gift extra special. I love the creating; and adding all the extra special touches you don't think of unless you sit and ponder. My mind is running all the time picturing ideas and developing plans for upcoming pleasures. Anothers' birthday is just such a pleasure for me. Why people say "oh don't bother, it's just a birthday, nothing special." ? Why?!? You're birthday means you were born and having another means you are still alive! Celebrate it! Something I heard today inspired this thought...'we need to celebrate being cancer-free! Why wait till we have cancer or some other devastation to remind us of the value of life? Live today!' And that brings me to a new valued thought I've been living daily on. It's brought meaning to me every day! Live in the moment! Celebrate what we have instead of waiting till we don't have it and be spent complaining wishful retaliations. Superbly more pleasant for all. There it is!...as plain as day!...my motto for 2013! And quite possibly for years to come! Live in the moment. Find all the ways ~ and practice them ~ to live in the moment.

See what my foundation is! It has to be. Only this way can I truly live in the moment. He gives me the promise of protection, grace, forgiveness and stability so it's actually possible to let everything else go. Why He wants all my problems and frustrations is beyond me but I'll give them up anyway.
Amazing Grace!
Step out today and experience a moment!
