Never Give Up

This came across my FB page today, shared on Julian Lennon's site........I felt the need to share it with all of you.

I don't know how my story will end, but nowhere in my text will it ever read......." I give up."

May we all embrace this as our story.

Moon Magic

The full moon is peeping through the lace curtains tonight, I needed those magical beams of lights.
I love moon rises as much as sun rises, I think of them as hope.......for a new day, a restful night.
I taught my classes today and for the first time in ten days I actually felt like teaching......it makes such a difference when the meningitis begins to leaves.

Tomorrow there is sunshine and 60 degree temps in the forecast.......wow.....I think the snow dance that Jordan and I did is working backwards.  Back to the drawing board on that one!

My students have been incredible this week, though I didn't say  much about not feeling well, they knew and have been there for me in amazing ways. I am so humbled by their love and kindness.

The moon is floating above the tree tops now.  When I graduated from high school in 1970, I thought that by now trips to the moon would be an every day occurrence.......what a disappointment.  I would love to look down and see the earth from the moon.  Looking through the window I can see the shadows and shades of light on the moon, it is brilliant tonight......and as I often say, I love the connection of looking up at the moon and knowing that you all can look up and see the same moon.

I hope your weekend is full of magic, that hugs and laughter are plentiful.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams

Dogs and Stuff

Calliou, the collie is extremely needy today........I have not been feeling well, but not sure what is going on with him.  He makes every step that Rick and I make, follows us from room to room and needs constant petting.   If this keeps up, I think a trip to the vet is in our future.  The more I pet him, the more he demands......and he does get in your face when he feels the need to be petted.

This week is the first anniversary with Taz........it's hard to believe that she has been with us one year.
We are lucky to have such great dogs appear in our lives. She is the most wonderful little creature.
She is loving but very sassy.  I can't imagine life without her.

This is my ninth day with meningitis, I took off work Monday, but I taught Tuesday and today.
I am not, actually no where near my best......sorry, had to whine.

A cup of hot tea beckons to me, I wish you all goodnight, sweet dreams.

Hanging With Jordan

Jordan spending some time after school at our house, enjoying his games.  The tapestry of him and his mom was my Christmas gift, don't you love it?

Rumors of snow flurries continue to haunt us, we just want to see some flakes!  Jordan thinks we need to do a snow dance, I think he is right.  I know many of you are sick of snow, if we could, we'd gladly take some of yours.  :)  Send it down south! We want snow!

Snuggle Buddy

Full moon and cloudy......maybe tomorrow night those silvery beams will come our way.
Moon salutations for class today, of course.
A cold winter's night, a need to snuggle with Taz......I hope you all have a snuggle buddy tonight.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams

Ground Hog's Day 2015

Ground Hog's Day, 2015........yep, he saw his shadow.  For those of you who are digging out of the snow......for those of you who think spring will never come, I share these lyrics with you tonight.


"Just remember, in the winter far beneath the bitter snows.
Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring, becomes the rose."  - Amanda McBroom

and as always on this day, for many years.......Rick and I watched the movie, Ground Hog's Day.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams
