Christmas is Over!
This is my son’s favorite ornament. So, of course, I love it too! A couple years ago I put an old picture just above it, and snapped away. It captured a whole lotta love. You can see Tigger dangling from the tree in the old pic, and coca–cola, well, we love the drink. We live in Atlanta, Georgia. So we better. Ha–ha!
The train that went around the bottom of the tree, and played music every year at Christmas time is where the kids clamored. There, or whatever room I set it out in. The words they shouted when they came over were, “Where’s the train? Where’s the train?” Off they’d go mesmerized for hours, or so it seemed. There is something about kids and trains. What is it? Who cares? It just is.
Why can’t time just stop for awhile, and not move forward?
Because, milady, it just doesn’t. So get prepared, and keep moving forward. You never know when a special moment will last a lifetime. You just don’t know when the memory is made that makes you smile, makes you cry, or just plain makes known to you, that you are alive and so thankful.
De–decorate!
Yes, that is my task for the weekend, and I’ve got no early start here. Who on earth relishes that one? Not me. I say I’m going to thin it out, but do I? I’ll let you know, maybe. :)
Anderson’s Little Match Girl
Resolutions or Goals!
I am a goal setter, so I don’t mind when I slack just a bit. I try and treat myself with kindness, you know, don’t be too harsh. Nobody wants to end up like the little match girl (one of my favorite fairy tales). That’s for the rest of the world … the big, bad world.
Here goes …
Yep, I still need to get in shape (guess I fell out of shape somehow). For some of us we put others first, with kids you have too. Some people manage to be perfect with kids, but I’m not one of those. So, I’m first now. Four months should be a good amount of time to firm up, I’m guessing!
Second is to promote my novel. That is coming real soon, like in two–three weeks. Stay tuned!
Third, well, let’s see. Clean & decorate my house, get a job, travel, taxi driver & cook for my kids, and be happy. Oh, I fooled ya as I already do all of those.
Lastly, I did get a camera for my birthday. I will learn it, and take some photos to share with you here, and on my other blog of this beautiful city I live in … Atlanta, Georgia.
Thanks for stopping by! I’m off to work out very hard.
