“Monday is for misbehaving, mundane moments, and marvelous memories.”

There really isn’t a lot of excitement around here lately, so I’ll settle for my marvelous memories to keep me occupied.

The only way for writers to meet is to share a quick peek over a common lamp-post.

Another week of challenges and privileges, quarantined Karaoke and time-lapse video painting. Keeping busy is the key to keepin’ same and to keep keepin’ on.

“Patience is not the ability to wait. Patience is to be calm no matter what happens, constantly take action to turn it to positive growth opportunities, and have faith to believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.”
― Roy T. Bennett
***************
The days are long and the weeks even longer. Patience is the only way to survive. That, and keeping really busy with projects and on-line workshops and challenges.
“What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
― Karl Lagerfeld

Another Montage Monday. The weeks keep slip-sliding away. Thank goodness for photographs and memories.
This cool memory popped up on my Facebook page of McKinney PD doing the ever popular Lipsinc Challenge from two years ago. MY! How things have changed.

Have a good week, my friends. Take some pictures and make some memories.

Another week flew by. July is a special month for me in so many ways. Both sons were born in July, Matt a couple of weeks ago, and Joe’s today. I’m one lucky mom. Here’s a week in a peek, and Happy Birthday, My Joe.
Thank you for blessing me all these years and blessing me with these beautiful granddaughters and beautiful daughter-in-law.

“Your Monday morning thoughts set the tone for your whole week. See yourself getting stronger, and living a fulfilling, happier & healthier life.”
– Germany Kent
***********************
I like this quote. It’s true. You set the tone for your day every morning when you wake up, and Monday sets the tone for the week. Of course, unless you’re like me and you wake up and have no idea what day it is. Thank goodness for my iPhone that doubles as my alarm clock, calendar, appointment book, news reporter, social director and all around lifeline to the world.
Happy Monday, my friends. A week in a peek…. with a really cool eerie stormy sky photo from my back porch.
I just love the paintings that God creates in the skies every day. He’s a pretty good artist, wouldn’t you say?
“Don’t count your dollars to see how rich you are. Count your memories. Count your friends. Count the hugs you get every day. Count what really matters.”
― Toni Sorenson
**************
I start out every day counting my blessings. There are so many, I sometimes lose count. I also journal every day and take pictures of just about everything. That’s a great way to count and recount your blessings.

Happy Monday, my friends.
“Making the best of what we do have, instead of begrudging what we don’t, has a way of creating all that we’ll ever need.”

Another steamy hot Texas week, but a very awesome week. Basically, living mostly in my pajamas, talking on the phone, emails, Facebook, FaceTime with the grand-babies, a visit to the fire station and Holy Family School, and beautiful sunset walks every night. Life is good.

“Don’t Let Yesterday Take Up Too Much Of Today.” –
~Will Rogers

The days are pretty uneventful lately. Thank goodness for FaceTime and Facebook and email. I have way too much time on my hands.
Here’s a week in a peek…
“These are strange times. Reason, which once combatted faith and seemed to have conquered it, now has to look to faith to save it from dissolution.”
*************
These certainly are strange times. I still wake up every morning thinking that it’s all a bad dream, but alas, it’s all a strange reality that we are all living right now.
I am blessed and life continues relatively unscathed, with my faith, friends, and family to lean on. Gratitude is my attitude. Thank you ALL for being a part of my life.
Happy Monday my friends. We made it through another week.
