Life Is Short

A friend send this saying to me along with these cute pictures and I wanted to share them. Hopefully, they'll brighten your day.


Life is short - Break the rules  

Forgive quickly
Kiss Slowly 

Love Truly
Laugh Uncontrollably

And never regret anything
that made your smile.

 

May you all have a beautiful day.

Happy Holidays!

Whew! It was a lot of work But I'm Done -- Got the tree up!!

 

I just love the smell of pine!

 

Hope this made you smile like it did me. 

 

In all seriousness, whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or another holiday I don't know about, I wish you the very best this season.  May peace and joy fill your hearts, may you enjoy whatever traditions you have, and may you have the best the New Year can offer.

 

We celebrate Christmas by spending it with family.  We'll get together with my children and grandchildren, and it's always fun to watch the little ones' eye's grow big and wide with excitement as they open presents and play with their cousins.

 

I have much to be thankful for.  I have a loving husband, wonderful family, healthy grandchildren, and can still spend tine with my father who is healthy and doing well at age 86.  I have a comfortable home, a rambuctious yellow lab, many, many friends, and the list goes on.  Too much to list, but suffice it to say, I'm very blessed. 

 

I wish you a very Merry Christmas -- A Happy Holiday Season -- and the very best as we start 2013! 

 



What Is Love?

I got an e-mail from a friend and loved it. A group of youngsters, ages 4 to 8, were asked what love means. The depth of their understanding of love was so great.

Rebecca, age 8, said:
When my grandmother got arthritis and couldn't paint her toenails any more, my grandfather does it all the time even though his hands have arthritis too.

Billy, age 4 said,
When someone loves you, they say your name different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.

Tommy, age 6 said:
Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who still love each other even though they know each other so well.

Elaine, age 5 said:
Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.

Chris, age 7 said:
Love is when Mommy sees daddy sweaty and smelly and still says he is more handsomer than Robert Redford.

Ah, the words from the mouths of babes. I thought these words were so touching. As I write some of my romance stories, I hope I can bring this type of emotion and understanding into my characters. Sometimes I think we forget, as adults, what that fuzzy feeling of love is. Life's chores seem to get in the way. Things that irritate us take over and we speak with words we don't mean.

My challenge is to try to remember the little things that I love about the most important people in my life. I challenge you to do the same.

As you read a new romance novel, let that loving, fuzzy feeling fill your heart.

Have a great day.
