I have been blogging since 2005. It has been my own personal journey, and it has been wonderful.
I'm closing blog, not sure for how long.
Stay well.
Till next time.

Today I am grateful for a Thanksgiving Chicken.
I know that this is not turkey costume. At the time, I just could not do that to Libby the pug, so I made her into a Thanksgiving Chicken!
Look at her face.
She loved this costume.
I promise that she is smiling...

I get very sentimental this time of year and often need a break from the blog. The time off is used to create, exercise and learn new things.
Often, God sends me a sign about my new projects, as he did with the origami crane and baking bread every week.
I wonder what the new creative process will be.
(I will update you after Thanksgiving)
What will you be doing over the Thanksgiving holiday?
If you are a regular blog reader, I am thankful for you.
Please have a lovely holiday...see you when it is over.
Love you beyond the moon.

Today I am grateful for the veterans of our beloved United States.
My daughter joined the Airforce after 9-11.
She was proud to serve our country and feels honored to have had the opportunity.
Larry and I are very proud of her.
Happy Veterans Day, Jamison.
We love you very much.
I found this amazing quote and it reminded me to get moving. I wish to share it with you.

I once told my wife I was going out to buy an envelope:
“Oh", she said, "well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?"
And so I pretended not to hear her. And went out to get an envelope because I have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is - we're here on Earth to fart around.
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.
Let's all get up and move around a bit right now... or at least dance.

I am going to dance today.
Love you beyond the moon.

Today I am grateful for a 5-year plan.

When I turned 70 this year, I felt overwhelmed with the aspect of aging. Larry sat down with me and suggested that maybe a 5-year plan would be a good way for me to move forward. I agreed and now, it is part of my daily mantra.
I do not look further than 5 years ahead.
It has been a Godsend.
My plans for the future are limited to 5 years.
(4 1/2years now, June 2029)
and when I am down to the last 6 months, I will re-set for 5 more years.
My plan is to make these years count.
I will not waste my time on people who discount me or insult me.
I will not confront or intentionally hurt anyone's feelings,
but I will go away.
I want to paint. I want to volunteer. I want to read good books and bake bread once a week. I want to sew, go out with friends, create ART, be kind and calm.
When you look forward, how far ahead do you plan for?
Have your plans been affected by other people?
If you were on a 5-year plan, what would some of your goals be?
It is finally Friday, is raining here, and I am listening to pianist Peter Nero.
Today is going to be wonderful.
Love you BEYOND the moon.
Me
