About A Year in the Life

I started this blog on my 40th birthday.  I wanted to document my life in words and pictures for a year.  Part of me just wanted to see if I could do it.  My goal was to pat myself on the back after a years time because I blogged for 366 (yes it was a leap year) days straight.  What I learned, through my failure, is that life happens.  It doesn't always come in a nice pretty box with a big red bow on top, but it's coming whether I want it to or not.  What I learned in the year was how incredibly blessed I am everyday.  I had to put my to do list away and learn to live life.

Now I use the blog for my musings.  Things I want to celebrate or rant about can be found here.  Things that move me and break me can be found here.  There are many writings I have completed but may never publish.  It's a place for me to collect my thoughts & sometimes my very being.

I hope I make you think & question things.  I hope I make  you laugh & cry.  I hope I make you want to celebrate life!

Thanks for reading!

A Little Bone to Pick

I have a little bone to pick with Team USA.  Hey y'all, will you please sing our national anthem when you win the gold medal?  I mean, you're standing there on the top level of the podium; the gold medal is hanging around your neck; our flag is being raised above all others; our national anthem is the one being played; and you are just standing there.  You are a citizen of the greatest country in the world.  Sing, please sing.  If you're not going to sing, then I want you smiling and/or crying like crazy. I can't even imagine all the work you have done to get to the point where you are now.  All the years of training, and forgoing a 'regular life' to pursue your dream.  I'm just a random mom from Alabama, but my patriotism is deep.  When you medal, we all medal.  We love your spirit, love it when you recognize your competitors, and love your sportsmanship.  Remember that there are hundred of thousands of little children watching you and wanting to be j

Well Good for Fair Fanny Petro

This is one of favorite sayings from the movie, The Help.  The way Skeeter says it with just the right touch of 'I don't give a flying monkey's behind' is perfect...I.mean.PERFECT.  And you have to say it like  you are from 1960's deep south.  Which means you don't really pronounce your r's.  Here's the clip from youtube. This is a saying I'll say sometimes if somebody is talking about something I don't give two shakes about.  I thought it just a few hours ago as I was listening to the radio.  But to back up just a bit so you know why I said it... ...The older I get the more I don't  understand our fascination with Hollywood stars, musicians, and people who play collegiate/professional sports.  Most of them are not worth our time of day.  There is a large portion of them that are just, well, trash.  If they were living in your community, and were just a plain Jane normal person, you probably wouldn't have anything to do with them.
