Its Never To Late To Keep A Journal...

I have received two different types of journals from my daughter within the last 5 years. One of them even came with a jar full of prompts. I think I have written in each one of them one time...yes only one time. I'm not sure why but its not something I think of doing on a daily basis. But after watching this video that was posted over at CY365 I really wish I would have put a little effort into writing something down atleast a few times a week. I think when I return home tonight I will pull them off the shelf, dust them off and journal a little. And maybe, just maybe someday my children and my Grandchildren will read them and recall some forgotten memories of our lives together.
I also saw this awesome Google commercial a couple of weeks ago. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I see it. I've been telling everyone about it especially those with little ones.
Go take a look at the video and/or the commercial. They have inspired me and I think you will be inspired to write a little too!

Happy Journaling!

May Merriment-Week 1...

This month I've been playing along here in hopes that I will learn to take better photos with my DSLR.
Week 1 was all about flowers. Its not to late to play along. Go join in and take a peek at the gallery. You'll be glad you did.

5 on Friday...

1. This week I decided that I'd like to have a bit of a different hairstyle. Bad idea. I Do Not like it and cannot wait until June 14 so that I can get it cut and styled the way I've had it for the last 5 or 6 years.
2. I had a Dr. appointment this week and found out that I am 1/4" shorter. Other than that everything is good. He told me that I had a boring medical history. Good for me...not so much for him. : )
3. I also found out while at the Dr. that they now have a tablet you can take before getting a colonoscopy. I've dodged it for now but at least I know that when my time comes I will not have to drink the terrible tasting stuff. I'm pretty sure my time will come next year, not because I'm unhealthy but because of my age.
4. My retired husband received his work schedule and hang tag in the mail yesterday. He will be a yellow shirt (safety patrol) member at IMS starting tomorrow. He told me that he'd like for me to take a picture of him in his yellow shirt (uniform). This is rare as he usually throws his hand up or makes some terrible face when I try to get a picture of him. He applied for this position for three reasons. 1). He loves racing. 2). His father was a yellow shirt years ago and 3). He LOVES racing.
5. I will have the rest of the weekends in May to myself. Ahhh...looks like I may get a few things checked off my to-do list.

Have A Happy Weekend,
Love & Hugs,
Susi

Prompt #19: Scent...Spicy Vanilla! My sister gave me this candle about 8 years ago but I can't bring myself to light the wick. It still smells wonderful after all these years.

5 on Friday...

1. I've been playing along here this week. I plan to make a little collage to share at the end of each week.
2. I'm also thinking of doing this but I think because of my slight case of OCD it will be hard for me to start the project this time of year. I may have to wait until Jan 1.

3. I received a wonderful Mothers Day gift yesterday. It's going to be hard to bite into them as they are so pretty. See! : )

4. My daughter and her husband will be running their first mini marathon Saturday morning. I hope the weather cooperates. Wish them luck...Good Luck Charlie and Chris. Love, Mom.

5. And because they are running the mini I get to spend some time with little Miss J. Isn't she lovely.

Have A Happy Mothers Day,

Love & Hugs,

Susi
