Memorial Day

Thank you to all those who have been, currently are, and will be serving to protect our amazing coutnry, our rights, and freedoms. I will not begin to list those in my own family who have taken this role b/c I know I will forget someone, but I am grateful to them.

Today, my adorable nephew volunteered to be part of the Color Guard for a VFW Memorial Day Ceremony.  I am so proud of him!

Happy Sunday Morning!

I was awakened and up earlier than I wanted this fine Sunday morning, but that's OK.  I would much rather get an early start than a late.  After catching up on email, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter (all of which took me to intersting articles, stories, and information), I settled down on my loveseat with my Metagenics Chocolate shake, staring out the back screen door, listening and watching--a cool breeze coming in, an afghan on my lap (made by Granny for my brother).  Just a near perfect time.  Different birds and insects singing, chirping, buzzing, humming, and clicking all around, a winchcime, a cotton tail nibbling by a new tree, a Robin running to and fro, flowers and tree limbs swaying in the breeze. Just calm and peaceful.

In all honesty, in the past when I have had time to sit and enjoy like this, it tends to be the "calm before the storm."  I pray that isn't so this time.  

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, everyone!  Enjoy the time you have, and may you find a few moments of calm and peace.

Thank you, soldiers and families of soliders, for all you have done for our great nation.
