grocery shoppin’

I went to the grocery store this mornin’.

A bouquet of half price carnations came home with me for $1.99.

I now have white ruffled, purple edged carnations, placed in a purple glass vase, sittin’ on my kitchen counter, makin’ me smile.

Money well spent.

Today I have Lunch With A Friend to look forward to. 

Another early birthday celebration. 

She’s picking me up so we can talk the whole way there.

We won’t miss a moment of conversation.

Our words are always overlapping with laughter mingled in. 

I am so thankful for my girlfriends who know turning 40 is a big deal.

Still 39 though…for a few more days. 

Not that I care about The Number. 

I don’t feel old or oldish. 

I just feel like me. 

Which is A Good Thing. 

I’m the only person I want to be. 

No more trying to fit in with teenage angst. 

No more holding back if I have something that needs to be said.

Besides Lunch In The Middle, I’ll take my boys to school, get some groceries, fold some laundry, put the lights on the Christmas tree so ornaments can follow this evening, pick my boys up from school and then take them to get their hair cut. 

I’m not sure What’s For Supper yet…but I have time to figure it out. 

Something Yummy is the answer.

Today shall be A Wonderful Day. 

May yours be too.

Thanks for the reblog my friend! Much appreciated!

You’re very welcome. Your words were too wise to not share them. It’s amazing how much more settled I am, on the inside, since I started writing this spring at My Opera, before Tumblr this fall, and also getting back in the groove of making fine art. Both were missing pieces for my soul. Now I know. Thus, your words struck a chord in me, even though music is not one of my gifts or talents (at all.) ~ Janean

The Writer’s Address: A Stupid Revelation..

thewritersaddress:

Art and creativity are so important. It gives people inspiration, hope, reasons to believe again. The power of your imagination is incredible, it gives birth to novels, paintings, sculptures, movies, poetry, music and so on.

I’m so blessed to have been given an imagination, and better yet the…

Excellent Revelation, not stupid at all, The Writer’s Address. Thanks for sharing! ~ Janean

we’re going to gab,

chit chat and laugh

while our feet are soaked,

scrubbed and buffed

Mike Frawley: Let Tomorrow Cry

mikefrawley:

Let tomorrow cry for its self
let every yesterday gracefully go

This is the day you’ve waited for
the only day you’ll ever know

This day is perfect, for it is life
can you feel it, Your God is near

Nowhere else can love be found
we’re most blessed to have you here

The future contains no…
