☼ ☼ ☼ ☼!!!!!

Did you get your daily dose of Vitamin D today? I couldn't resist... cabin fever has truly set in!

I didn't care how chilly it was, the sun was out and I was determined to enjoy it today. So between WIAA State Girl's Basketball games, I walked down to Walmart to get a few groceries and walked home.

Chris thought I was crazy (and I'm sure some of you do too)... but that's nothing new. ☺ You should have seen how many people gave me the most bizarre looks. People just don't walk anymore! So I stroll into Wally World, rosy cheeked and all... pick up my coffee filters, my cereal, don't forget the tartar sauce (it's Friday and we're having fish sticks & french fries for dinner), and then crazy me get's tempted by a pint of blueberries, a tub o' cottage cheese... and I almost picked up a quart of creamer when I remember... you goof, you walked here. You have to carry that back!

So I didn't get the creamer... but the blueberries & cottage cheese did give me my workout coming home! Of course, the whole way home the breeze was in my face, and I was climbing a hill... but it was glorious! The sunshine was beautiful and I felt lucky to be able to walk that far!

Hope your journeys today were bright and beautiful!

Love to all,
Dawn

P.S... and just to prove it really is Friday the 13th for the second time this year... I did accidentally step in what I thought was frozen ground and it ended up being mud... squoosh... bummer. So one of my steps was not so sunny~ :(
Love you!

Happy Weekending!

TGIF everybody! As I sit at my desk, I'm enjoying a beautiful breeze and the gorgeous nature I'm surrounded by. It just hit me all at one time just how lucky I am. I just got the hankering to blog about it and share my thoughts with you. (If you had asked me 10 years ago if I thought my mom would have started a blog, I would have laughed at you... now look at us! Thanks Mom!)

I am so greatful to have so much love in my life. I'm surrounded by a hugely caring, loving family. I have a wonderful companion in life that is always, always there for me. I have 4 wonderful doogles that very rarely* talk back. No matter what I've been through I've never had a loss of shoulders to lean on or ears that are willing to listen to me. No matter how many mountains I decide to climb by the choices I make or situations I find myself in, I always have had someone.

Thank you all for being my someone at some point in time. And if you haven't had the chance yet, don't rule yourself out! Your day will come! :) Have a wonderful, fun and loving weekend everybody. I just want to leave you with some of the beautiful nature around me. It's Brandi & Cody in amongst my flowers. Enjoy my little piece of heaven! Hugs & Kisses to All! Dawn

*Cody is often the exception to that rule!
