National Dandelion Day

Celebrate Every Day !

National Dandelions DayToday is National Dandelion Day 

Dandelions were my first bouquet of flowers that I gave and first I  received. They are a happy yellow and said spring when we were in the Midwest.

We all know that they are a weed and I can remember working on the yard with my Grandma Glade pulling them out.  She had this great tool that looked kind of like a fork.  But, I always ended our pulling session with a small bouquet of them on the window seal.

Happy Dandelion Day !

International Day of Happiness

Happy with a Smile

international day of happiness with The Quilt Ladies
It’s been a bit crazy for us all the past days and probable for the next weeks to months. We have all had anxiety over load and learning to step back, take a breath and stop has been my goal.
I had a full panic attack last Friday, that cannot and will not happen again, I cannot do that to myself.   “Shelter in Place” “Stay home”. I love home, I love my space in this world and I’m going to just let the rest be for a bit, this little house of ours is perfect. 
I have been challenging myself to say the word “HAPPY”. It has become a bit of a silent praying going over and over in my mind. 
Happy, I choose to be happy, I choose to be me, I choose to be kind, I choose to take care of myself, I choose prayer to be with me and in me.
On this day of Happiness, please be kind, be happy and please take care of YOURSELF. Mind and body. 
Here are just a few things that make me HAPPY on a daily bases. And to those kids of ours that,  I don’t share photo’s of, they are always my happiness !
