Where Is The Toilet Paper

One of the nuisance things about moving so many times is finding where the toilet paper holder is. That's right. Think about it. You get up during the night because your bladder just woke you enough to know you would be more comfortable if you go into the bathroom and relieve the full bladder. Okay. Keep the eyes closed, stumble into the bathroom, don't want to wake up all the way so you can get right back to sleep. Sit. Reach to the right. No toilet paper. Reach to the left. Still no toilet paper. Where the heck is it? Now you have to wake up. Darn. Oh. That's right. At this place I have a stand alone toilet paper holder. It stands straight ahead. Oh brother. I hope I can get back to sleep. See what I mean? Moving multi times has some strange and lesser known downsides. Too much information? Oh.

Christmas 2013

It is more fun planning for Christmas with children growing up in the home. More decorations. More laughter.

This year I am learning to appreciate the senior age, the single life, lots of friends and plenty of laughter.

A year and a half ago I lived through another divorce. Instead of hanging my head I decided to live my life to the fullest and count my blessings. I learn important lessons if I pay attention.  Instead of being lonely I am having fun and appreciating my simple life. Simple and busy.

This is the first time I decorated three Christmas trees. One at the senior center, angels being the chosen   theme. Two different styles of Christmas trees at the library for the Parade of Lights. How could I not get into the spirit of the season with so much decorating.

The various Christmas parties add to the enjoyment of this time of year, making season's greetings cheerful and bright, overcoming the cold and snow. Bundling up to get somewhere to share hot cocoa or hot apple cider with other families and wine with friends is the reward for getting out in the cold.

Finding blog buddies through the years of blogging is another blessing. My wish for each of my blog friends is that you have joy and good health and are able to share some joy with people who are not as fortunate. My heart hurts for the dear people who are sad during the holiday season. Smile and hug to everyone I come in contact with online and in person.

Merry Christmas to all!

Bridesmaids

You have all probably seen this going around in emails. My friend is helping her daughter plan her June wedding this coming year so I am hearing talk about the bridesmaids dresses so naturally this picture popped into my head.

Perspective

When the sun comes up, is it really "coming up"?

When I look up to heaven, is heaven really "up there"?

Why do some people say they're going "downtown", while others say they're going "uptown"?

Why do some people tack on the word "up" to some sentences?
"Eat it all up".
"Clean it up".
"'Fess up".
"Shut up". Well, maybe this one is different.
"Stir it up". "Stir it" would be sufficient.
