Wanna SMILE?? C'mere and Lookie

I have my good and bad days.. Doc's say its hormonal or one of those other disorders folks have and want me to take pills... I am adverse to that idea and through the years I've had to come up with my own solutions for the down days...  on my cure list is--
MY GRATEFUL LIST
  all I have to do is sit quiet and mentally make a list of all the good, joy and miraculous moments I've had throughout my life , and right away I start feeling better..   Making a grateful list is FREE and EASY to do and does'nt fill your body with chemicals..

DEEP BREATHING fresh air.. summer or winter- this works to lift my spirits.

 and then- there's this... PUPPY PICS - you gotta smile when you look at puppy pics. Right?
I hope these add a smile to your day~ they sure did to mine...

"when I am worried and I cant sleep, I count my blessings instead of.....umm yea I know the song says sheep but I'd rather count PUPPIES:)

I used to breed Pomeranians and we never had a litter that there was'nt at least one pup that just HAD to use the rest of the litter as a headrest...  too cute and brings back great memories for me.

 

Cant ya just here the bigger one saying" I got ya pinned"  

ok, if it gets much cuter I wont be able to stand it..

 

Naptime.. now who doesnt feel better after a nap? I know I do..

Have I said lately how much I love ya'lls visits and how much I appreciate having you in my internet life? if not- I'm sayin it now and by golly I mean it too..
  Thanks for smiling along with me today...I feel better already:)

Mother Nature's Transformation

I've painted a lot of furniture.  Done hundreds of mock ups for myself- other and even businesses.  Changed rooms from what they once were to unrecognizable till I told folks what I did ~ BUT~ no matter how much talent GOD graced me with , I have never been able to make transformations of such beauty as the ones Mother Nature has made around my back patio.. 
 I am so grateful for good weather and not to have been hit by the ugly storms we have had roar through NC..
 Many folks will be years getting back to normal, both in their homes and yards.. Looking at that damage breaks my heart.. Then I walk outside and see what nature is capable of in a very short period of time and I know everything will be ok- in Time..

 Here come the before's and the afters of Mother Nature's miraculous transformation.. I sure thank her for it..
things were just getting started and I'd had to cut the middle crepe myrtle down to the ground becuase it was transplanted from another area in the yard...

and then, the transformation began and she grew and grew and GREW:)

The ferns were a nice size when I got them . The geraniums came from a lady on the corner selling them out of her trunk to the local hardware store and I nabbed a few and put them in this planter..

Soon, they had to be moved so I bought a kiddie pool and spray painted it .  They are still growing and blooming and spreading out...

The ferns are getting huge~!

 

 I told the story of these bradford pears before but in case ya missed it..These were cut down 3 years ago and the stumps were ground below the surface and sprayed with weed killed...

The next year I saw little sprouts in the mulch and knew what it was.. My gosh, if they had that much will to live- they were staying..

they moved sorta slow through spring as you can see..

and then:)
wowzers...

I look at all this and it reminds me to NEVER give up.. Strive to Survive... Reach for the sky.. They all did and look how great it turned out...
