'Virtual' Friday...Woohoo!!...and Things I'm Loving Right Now!


        Woohoo! It's another 'Virtual' Friday Date Day for me!! :-) And guess what?!....I have no idea where we're going! O_O I'm sure it can't be far because hubby didn't ask me to pack or anything. :-)) He did give some clues away though, so I 'think' I know where we're going. It's not far from where we live...It's a place to hear good music...and eat good food! That's all I require out of a good date!....Well, music, food, and a hubby in a good mood! ^_^ 
       It's raining out right now too, so a good mood is a definite 'must have'! I mean who wants to go on a date with a tall, dark, and handsome man whose in a bad mood?!....Uhhhhh....not me! ^_^ On rainy days I usually have enough cranky, achy bad mood and pain for the occasion all by myself anyway, thank you very much!! LOL

      Moving on!!...Let me share a few of the things I'm loving right now! :-) Rest assured that rain and dark clouds will not be included, no matter how, what, where, when, or why they show up!!! :-) ...
 

      "Hoo!....Hoo!"....^_^ Oh yeah, I forgot 'who'!! LOL...No matter who makes them show up!! ^_^ ... Just kidding!! LOL


      Speaking of why, why do I love chicken photographs?!! O_O The answer is as the sands of the sea...many. And if you're standing in the rain while you're listing them...you get wet! ^_^ Yes! I am in a very silly mood today! ^_^ It's a great time to have flow of consciousness blog writing, don't you think?! LOL
       Back to what I was showing you...


     I'm loving all of the artist's paintings lately! Especially the ones of their pets, rooms, and houses. I think it's so cool that people are so talented, first of all, and then 'home-minded', second of all! :-) ...Speaking of which, home is a great place to go on a date too!...just saying. :-] *Don't listen to that for today, honey!*


       Yes, buttons! I'm loving the buttons of all kinds, sizes, and colors lately!...even though I haven't actually been using my buttons on any of my projects! O_O I want to, but for now I need to make what my customers want. And my customers want BOUTONNIERES! :-) In fact I sold a whole slew of them last night!...It made me very happy!! :-)


     I'm also loving any kind of dishcloths right now!...but especially colorful ones, with any kind of flowers! :-)

    And 'NEWS JUST IN', on Fridays I just have to eat something good! And when I saw this photograph on Etsy I said out loud: GOOD!!!!! ^_^ ...


     Okay...off I go to eat something 'good' for breakfast, before I plan ahead to eat something 'good' for dinner tonight on my date with my hubby! ^_^ Yep! That's all it's about today!! ^_^ ... So, what are you up to today?! Whatever it is, don't fret or fuss over anything this weekend. Just have a good one!! :-)

Things

There are things in our lives
that we try to hide;
And others that we show
with the utmost pride.

Things we didn't  say,
that we wish we did;
And others-said in anger,
when we 'Flipped our lid!'

People that we wish
we'd  tried harder with;
Others who, when asked about,
we'll 'Take the 5th'.

Things we never tried,
because it cost too much;
And times we pushed ourselves,
when price was not the crutch.

Hurdles that we climbed-
with our hands-and in our mind;
Others we're  still climbing,
every day-from time to time.

People we forgave,
because it was the best for us;
Life is just too short,
over 'Things' to make a fuss.

Positively Things I'm Loving Right Now!


       I made the mistake this morning of getting up and turning on the television. I did it to catch the weather, but I had to wait out the local news first...*sigh*...home invasions...lots of guns being stolen...people going crazy over the Powerball lottery...dangerous bacteria on pork...roll-over car accidents...etc. AARGH!!!!...Off went the television!...after I found out that no more 'snow' is due to come today. :-)
       We didn't really have any 'snow', per se, anyway! I mean, it 'did' snow...and it snowed ALL DAY too, but there was no accumulative snow on the ground! Not a bit! :-) I guess the ground was too warm for it to stick...YAY! I wasn't ready to watch my backyard covered with snow yet anyway! :-]
       What I 'am' enjoying in my backyard these days...is watching the slew of different birds I'm getting now, with all of their different 'bird music'...chirp songs! :-) The suet cage near the tree is the gift from my girlfriend that keeps on giving! :-)
      The birds will keep me in a good...positive...mood. That's what I'm working on this week. Being positive! :-) ... Actually, I'm usually pretty positive anyway, but I've noticed lately that so many 'not so good' things are happening around me...and TO me!...friends getting serious illnesses...deaths...loss of jobs...financial stress...pain!...that my 'positive' is taking a hit!! I'm having to REALLY work at it now!!
      When I was studying some of my 'Watchtower' magazine yesterday, for my meeting Sunday, it reminded me of something that was very encouraging for me. It said: "...God's word tells us: "A joyful heart has a good effect on the countenance..." (Prov. 15:13) Medical researchers have long recognized the curative value of positive thinking..."
       It also reminded me of the scripture at Proverbs 24:10 that says: "Have you shown yourself discouraged in the day of distress? Your power will be scanty."...Soooooo true! And I needed reminding!!....Okay, Bible lesson over!! ^_^ ...That wasn't for YOU anyway. That was for ME!!! :-] Forward!......Positive!
        Okay, changing gears...but still keeping it positive! :-) ...I wanna show you a few of the things I'm loving right now! They're from shops on Etsy. Shops that I 'have been', or am, keeping my eye on!...






      So, there you go. They're all 'positively' beautiful, aren't they?! :-)

      Okay, I'm off to finish my breakfast and get some crocheting done. Have a 'positively' wonderful day, Everybody!! ;-)

How Can You Be So Positive

"How can you be so positive
with everything so bad?
When folks are so unkind
and all those doctors make you mad?"

"It's easy!" I assure them.
'Cuz one thing makes it okay.
I wake up every morning,
and I'm breathing every day!

When I can't move a muscle
and can barely lift my head,
I think of all the folks I've known
who now are gone, yes, dead!

No matter what my problem is,
and if I stand or lay,
I'm thankful that my mind still works
and I'm breathing every day!

So how am I so positive,
When things sometimes seem bleak?
It's easy, 'cuz my breathing
keeps on going every week!

Oh yes, I have a choice!
I can be miserable and whine;
Be mean to folks around me,
Be demanding and unkind.

But who would make that choice,
when there's a better way to be?
I mean, who's breathing every day
and writing poems?...ME!

It's Another Edition Of "Things I'm Loving Right Now!"


     Okay....so I'm ALWAYS loving crochet...anyway!...but when I saw this little guy sporting this colorful crocheted bow....I just knew I had to get back into the "Things I'm Loving Right Now" pool! LOL
      Although I don't own a dog right now, I recognize cute when I see it. And he's as cute as he can be! ^_^ But it was not just the puppy that got me back in the pool....so to speak. It's the whole Etsy shop that sells these doggie bows and things. The whole shop has me wanting another doggie!...And WARNING! If you click over there you might just be heading to the pound too! ^_^
    And I think that's what she wants you to do, because in the description for this bow it says:..."20% of the sale price of this item will be donated to the homeless and abandoned pets of the Riverside City Animal Shelter..." How could you not be loving a shop that's loving the animals like that?! :-)

        Of course, thanks to that cute little puppy's bow, I also noticed this bow...


        Bow-wise...this is NOT the "final frontier" for me, I'm sure! :-))

      Okay...I haven't done a 'things I'm loving right now' post in a while, so I thought it was time. "Thank you, Puppy,...and bows...for the inspiration." :-) ...So, with no further adieu...here's some other things I'm loving right now!...


     I'm loving my own crochet squares...from my Wuglyees shop...



     ...and my own tiny crochet flowers... :-)) ...which those of you who follow the blog already know! ^_^

      I'm also loving rings!...especially pretty GREEN rings!...


      And while I also don't have a baby, I'm loving interesting baby shoes right now!...



       Both pair of these baby shoes (above) come from an etsy shop called GrowingUpWild. Just click on the photos if you're interested in seeing the details about them.

      I'm also loving blue. All kinds of blue. Blue necklaces...


         ...Blue pillows...


      ...and Blue purses...


      I'm also loving things with a lot of blue in them, like this...


        ...and this...


      And I'm loving the fact that she chose one of my crochet flower necklacs to be in her treasury too! :-)

(Wuglyees)
 
         Thanks Kathy R!! :-)

      Okay...I'm almost through!...ALMOST! ^_^ Here's three more things I'm loving right now...



        Last, but not least...


       These are all the things I'm loving right now.....These, and catfish and grits, apple pie and peaches mixed together and heated with butter, and the new fried sweet potato fries at Burger King!! :-)) If you love sweet potatoes like I do, and love making french fries out of them...like I do...you'll love just being able to drive through the line and...honk! honk!...pick 'em up!!! ^_^ {And for those wondering, yes! They taste good too! ^_^}


       So....what are you loving right now?!....Come on....SHARE! ^_^ And have a good day too, Y'all!

All The Things I Love

If I listed all the things I've loved
I could rattle on forever!
Whether by 'order of importance'
or by a poetically quick endeavor.

Right now it's Tennis...Well, all sports,
and reading informative magazines.
And crocheting, food and music.
Well..that might be in my genes!

I've loved teaching and line dancing,
So many things in my short life.
But I've never jumped from a plane,
or whittled anything with a knife!

With every passing moon
I find some other thing that I love.
Whether grassy patterns on my lawn,
or phenomenal skies above.

Yes, if I listed all the things I loved
my words could fill all space,
It comes from curiosity,
and an Ooo-ing Awww-ing place!
