Changes are coming

 

I am on the verge of another life change.

I will be getting this and all my goodies out of storage.

WOW!

I have a lot of stuff.

These goodies will find a home in my new home.

The girls are coming too ;)

This fall, if all works out, we will be in our own little spot with our own little kitchen.

I cannot wait.

Stay tuned. I am excited to decorate and celebrate the holidays in my new little spot.

Hugs, Lisa

2011

I got on my laptop today to post my News Years wishes. I started on blogger and visited my friends who have posted over the last 2 days I have been away.

All the posts are lovely and reminiscent of the past year.

Some somber, as last year was of changes that were good but brought on by  sad events, some just a look at what the year held.

Visiting your blogs can make me think of so many things all at one time.

I laugh, I tear up, I smile, I am moved, I am excited, I learn

I watched a how today, Netflix is my new best friend no commercials!, and they debated the “real” friend and the virtual friend.

I have “real” friends in blogging. And believe me if I had unlimited funds I would have more than once jumped on a plane and been there to cook, clean or just listen.

I am here and I listen form here.

I have my own issues and drama and I understand having it even if I cannot truly identify with your issue.

BUT

I do care and I do think of you even when I am not online.

I find myself rushing to my phone or laptop because I have one of you on my mind that day. It is comforting to find you there, and there have been times when I just knew you were having a bad day.

So I hope when you see a small ((((HUGS)))) from me you know you are important to me and I do not want to but in but I care.

And I hope in a small way for a small moment you feel you are loved.

Ok this was not what I thought I would write today ;)

I wanted to share this lovely New Years card shared by Dawn

at The Feathered Nest

And wish you all the best 2012 can bring you

And I was noticing a book on a friends book shelf and thought I need that one BUT I am making myself read the one before it first!

Do you do that? Make a silly goal to be able to treat yourself?

Kate Morton is a wonderful writer, her books are in depth and cover many time periods. I love them and get involved but I have a hard time reading right through them. The Forgotten Garden took me months and I read others while I was going along. I am on The House at Riverton and it is as slow going, I am making my self read it so I can get her latest The Distant Hours. I can do it!

Have a super extra new year that I hope brings wonderful new beginnings to all of my lovely friends!

HAPPY NEWW YEAR!

Hugs, Lisa

Are you ready???

Honeslty what does that really mean? Ready for what the whole thing to be over? I have always been so deflated after Christmas, it is OVER, all the build up actually seems better than the day. And can you really be ready. Presents wrapped, food cooked, or did you throw a few gifts under the tree you found hidden in the closet when you went to get your good robe you are going to wear for the pictures, or if you forget, one of the 12 dishes you were going to make for Christmas dinner will it be that bad?

I don't hate Christmas, but really love the "Season" because it lasts longer. I have a mom that stress over all the "undone" things and then cannot enjoy any of it.

Please all my lovely friends don't stress it will all happen and it will be a memory of all that gathered and not really what was not done. Enjoy the moment and the time it will all be great, honestly letting go is hard especially for us women but how much nicer life is when you do.

So have the Happiest of Christmases and remember why we celebrate and it really puts all the hoopla in to perspective.

Merry Christmas

Hugs, Lisa

Life gets in the way

It is fall here now, cool weather , pumpkins and mums.

The leaves are starting to change but we just had loads of rain so they will be delayed, but so will the raking ;)

I will be away from my beloved blogland for a while.

Life brings ups and downs and changes.

Not all things that change are bad. My family does not handle change well and they do not handle me being separate from them.

For those who don’t know me so well, I am not married and have no children so I am not leaving them, I am moving across town from my Mother and Sister (and 4 kids) and try to have some sort of peace at least most days of the week!

I have to get all my goodies sorted and moved or sold. My mother will keep things that she wants and I will still need storage ugh! I think I spend the next year sorting!

So I will be away as I don’t know when the internet will be able to be connected. I will try to journey out and use wifi to visit occasionally but won’t be posting.

So as life is getting in the way of me being who I want to be ;) Have a beautiful Fall and I will be back soon♥

Hugs, Lisa
