Golden Rule 2














































The Golden Rule

A woman came by my store today to make a copy of a picture she had framed on her wall for many years. She insisted that I read it and keep a copy for myself. I am by no means very religious, but I was reading it and loved the way that all these different beliefs had one GOLDEN RULE in common.

This isn't the exact thing she has framed, but this gives you the general feel of it. I believe that if eveyone, no matter what their beliefs, lived by this one "rule" - there would be more tolerance of everyone's differences.

What I am wanting today...

a couple of bowls of hot & sour soup...



a nice fluffy pillow and bed...



many boxes of these...
warm cuddly blankets...






and maybe a nice hot cup of tea with lemon...



I am definitely feeling under the weather today. I would love to be at home cuddled up in bed right now... Maybe I can talk myself into feeling a little better while I wait out the rest of the day....

...
...
nope - not working... I guess I will just have to wait until I get home.
I know I made my man miserable last night. I was tossing and turning and kicking and basically throwing a fit because I was miserable. I wasn't trying to make him miserable too, though. He went and slept on the couch for a few hours (poor baby) and finally came back to bed in the middle of the night. I hope I get better soon so the rest of my family doesn't have to suffer with me being a grump. I try not to be, but sometimes, it just can't be helped. So - to my baby and my munchkin - I apologize. I hope to be better as quickly as possible... I don't like this either!

Mother Nature





I don't know about anyone else, but I am definitely ready for this weather to quit playing games with us. We have had some beautiful, warm weather lately, with just a little rain (which we sorely needed) and Mother Nature has decided to play a trick on us one last time. Hopefully this is the last time. We have been having temperatures in the 80's for the past couple of weeks. Last night, though, the temperature dropped into the 30's. I woke up to a frost covered lawn and a sore throat.

I am ready for the summer!
I want to be able to spend time at the beach or the river or in the woods without worrying about what the next days weather is going to be like.
I know that the summers here are sweltering, but if I didn't like it - I wouldn't choose to live here! I like the warmer weather!
Spring is a beautiful season - but around here is doesn't last very long. I am somewhat grateful for this fact because when the trees start budding out and the pollen fills the air, my hayfever runs rampant.

Once the blooms have all run their course and the weather starts to get some heat to it, then it is my time to shine!
No more worrying about when the next cold front is going to hit us.
No more hating the rain - I love warm summer rain showers!
No more jackets!
Just plenty of time to enjoy the heat and the longer days!
~~~waiting for summer~~~
