My Sweet Daddy

Yesterday we went to the cancer center and he will be receiving radiation everyday for the next 8 weeks. That will be until the 12th of July. They say it has 85% cure rate with this treatment. Say a prayer for my dad, please. I will be the one taking him everyday so it's like having a new temp. job. He has such a sweet soul. I look forward to spending some one on one time with him. I have learned a lot in watching my parents age. We can never give up...not even for a short period of time. It takes no time at all for your body to turn against you. We truly need to treat our bodies like temples. I think maybe this is the answer to the prayer I've be looking for. I pray that God will inspire me to lose weight, take better care of myself, etc. I think he has opened my eyes to get started. I have always had a positive outlook but, lately a lot has happened and I kind of gave up...I can't let that happen. I am worth fighting for, I need to just find and make the time to take care for me. Give me a "F" give me an"I" well....you know the rest. If you're reading this it means you are special to me. Think about it....love yourself as much as I love you, please! Have a great and health filled day. I think I'm going to run into the kitchen and make me a healthy orange smoothie!! Big bottoms up!!!! lol

What do you think?
Here is the picture that finally made me take the step to find my old friend, Daniela. Can you see why it made me think of you D.? She not near as good lookin' as you but she could be your sister. lol I'm thankful she was there!

Now it's Time for "Me" to Reflect on the Past
IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS!

Even though I don't have anyone looking at my blog yet, soon they will and I want my friends to know how excited I am to be reunited with a dear friend from my past. We had such fabulous times together and I'm surprised we ever let time get between us, sad how that happens. Maybe it's God's way of bringing joy to your life when you need it. A new friend would take a while to know if they are a blessing where as, a dear lost friend is an immediate joy. That's what you are Daniela. We had wonderfully crazy times together and I think you can tell just looking at this picture. This is us back in the early 80's in one of those little photo booths in Richardson Square Mall, I'm 19 yrs. old and she's 16 I think. We were wearing our uniforms from the Cookie Factory, trust me, we were hot! LOL I had been thinking of her so much lately and there had to be a reason, it was time for us to come together again. One morning while getting some orange juice out of the frig. there was a girl on the carton that looked so much like her (not a missing person) haha I'm going to post the picture tomorrow and you can compare the pictures for yourself.
Dear friend I'm so glad your were out there for me to find. I love being BFF's again! It's like no time has past and isn't that what defines true friends?! I can't wait for our next 2 hour phone conversation! lol God Bless!!

Rainy Days and Mondays...

This one won't be getting me down, even though I had no sleep. My 3lb. tiny black Pom is petrified of thunder. Bless her heart; I have no idea what she went through before I got her. Anyway, I have a ton of Easter stuff to put away. Everybody wants to know which holiday is coming up next; they think the house looks empty without holiday decorations up. Thank God the next one isn't until 4th of July! From Sept. to now I decorate for 7 different holidays and I'm pooped!! Here's a couple of picture from last year, I forgot to take any this year.

This is one of the primitive dolls I created in honor of my rescue kitty "Shadow"
