“A life without struggles or failures

is like a sky without stars,

void of the brilliance that shapes our essence.”

So I found some graphics, I think I made them about 10 years ago and I think some of these are from pictures that I took.  I just thought I would share them with you.  This first one is our dog, Miss Kitty Wells, who died a few years back.  Enjoy your Tuesday with Blessings & Hugs!  

When the sandman comes, peaceful dreams...

It's never too late to change your life for the better. 

You don't have to take huge steps to change it. 

Even the smallest changes in your daily routine 

can make a big difference.

I want to give you a heads up about the month of September and possibly beyond (or it could be less).  I might not be here as often to post dailys to you.  

I retired over 10 years ago.  Then I started working part time. This will be the 4th time that I work "almost" full time until a replacement can be found.  Two years ago the person Kelly hired said she would stay 4 years or more and never move to be closer to her children.  She has been there for 2 years, and now she is moving.  So we have already scheduled the month of September and I will be working about 14 of 22 days.  It usually takes months for Edward Jones to hire and train a brand new person.  However, if someone transfers to this office, it might not take as long.  

I love working with Kelly and Jen and the clients.  Each day there is fun for me but I am getting older and slower.  When working, I require more sleep.   I will try to read and respond when I can each evening.  Please know that I will look forward to reading your posts and seeing your beautiful graphics.  I start working Tuesday, September 2nd, the day after Labor Day.  

Good morning Marie, wishing you a wonderful week.


Blessed Be my dear friend...*Hugs* & *Love*

I hope you have a wonderful last week of August.  News coming up for September, look for it.  

I know that in some places, some of you are getting cooler temperatures.  But Summer is still here!  

Yes, there are less than 30 days left of my favorite season.  I love the heat and the long daylight days.  

As the days begin to get shorter and the temperatures begin to cool once in a while with less humidity, the colors of the sunrise and sunset get more beautiful.  

Yes, I love to take pictures of the colorful paintings by God.  So as you start to celebrate Autumn or Fall, remember that even the end of Summer can still be a beautiful HOT mess.  

I'm not saying I don't like Fall or Spring, but I am saying I don't like Winter and it comes all too soon for me.  By the time the sun sets in Summer, I will be counting the days until it is back again. 

I will be this forever summer girl from Cat ready for Vacations and fishing and fun memories sitting in the sun!  Blessings & Hugs!
