hi everyone, the weeks go by so fast. i keep trying to hold ever so tightly onto each spring day to somehow capture them and keep them beside me.....so they won't hurry away so fast, but the days swift by me so quickly as if they are running a race and leave me laughingly behind them. i should live in a culture and a place that has endless days of sun and warmth and masses amounts of flowers and greenery because winter puts a weight of terrible sadness upon me at times. it is beautiful in it's own stark, quiet way, but spring and summer are alive to me and my heart never tires of them......only delighting in each bright and beautiful moment like i were a little child again. sunshine, birds singing, the green of leaves in a tree so much huger and prolific than i......these things and all the hidden secrets of summer that lie behind each afternoon......pull me away from this ancient room where my soul screams and tires to leave from. oh that i would flee this place, to find the glorious and beautiful summer meadow where all is bright and shining and new.

Have fun! It's so important to have fun in your life!!

I heard not too long ago that one of the most important things in life.......is to have fun! When I really thought about that, I realized that is so true! How wonderful it is when we are happy, when we laugh and smile and enjoy the company of our friends or family or people we just meet, if only for a few minutes. Life is so beautiful, filled with so many wonderful people and places. It IS important to enjoy this life, to have fun and be happy! I hope you have happiness in your life. I need to have more fun, more joyful times. Smiling can make such a difference! Debbie

Happy Mother's Day!

It's a beautiful day. Mother's Day is so special. I wish you all a very sweet and kind and wonderful day, this Mother's Day. I miss my mother. She lives in Washington state and we live in Utah. I'll call her today, but I wish so much we could be with her to spend this special day. We need to cherish our mothers so much. What would we do without them? Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. My prayers are with you that you will have a very wonderful day!!!
