Sleep, a woman's secret weapon.

Summertime means not having to get up early to take the kiddo to school, this means sleeping in.

Without sleep I feel sick and have nonexistent coping skills, but with sleep, I feel like Super Woman.

I need to go now and get some sleep.  Enjoy, Heidi

If you can do this....

If you can start the day without caffeine;

If you can get going without pep pills;

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains;

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles;

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it;

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time;

If you can forgive a friend's lack of consideration;

If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,

through no fault of your own, something goes wrong;

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment;

If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him;

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend;

If you can face the world without lies and deceit;

If you can conquer tension without medical help;

If you can relax without liquor;

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs;

If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice

against creed or color, religion or politics; then, my friend, you are

almost as good as your dog.

Beautiful People.

The most Beautiful People

we have ever known are those

who have known defeat, known

suffering, known struggle, known

loss and have found their way

out of the depths.

These persons have an

appreciation, a sensitivity of life

that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern.

Beautiful people don’t

just happen.

I am drawn to these people and now I know why. I don't see suffering in the same way I used to.  Heidi

I gotta go now, they're waiting for me.

She kept saying,"I gotta go now, they're waiting for me, I'm gonna be late".  The granddaughter asked,"Nanny, where are you going?"  The grandmother replied again,"I gotta go now"

and she closed her eyes and passed away. 

This happened earlier this week in a hospital not too far away.  The 86 year old grandmother had  fallen and sustained a serious spinal injury.  She had been in the hospital for 2 weeks.  I had the privilege of doing the flowers for her funeral.  She was a well loved woman.  What an awesome story about the crossing over process.  She had told another granddaughter that she would see her later and that is so true. 

 It is not good bye but, see ya later.  I wish you all a fabulous weekend.  Love, Heidi

It's curtains for you.

I am not going to lie to you all.  It has been very challenging to post lately.  I have been reading, Don't sweat the small stuff (fantastic, must read book) and completely wrapped my head around the concept that happiness cannot be found in yearning for new desires, amongs other extremely good concepts.  Perhaps for the first time in my life I feel completely satisfied and it is awesome.  I am rich beyond my wildest dreams and didn't even know it until now.  I hope this does not make you want to throw up, but if you have been following my blog, you know that I have been on a deep spiritual journey.  So the curtains is not for my little ole blog, but for showers.  I have run across the most beautiful and interesting shower curtains that I just wanted to share with you.  I don't yearn for them, I just thought they were pretty and perhaps you will too.  Enjoy, Heidi

Determined and persistant.

This is how things get done, but first you have to dream it before you can do it.

                   Reading this always puts my life into perspective and I am thankful. 

I did get the chance to escape and with the 2 special men in my life(my 7 year old & husband).  We went to Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, Hobby Lobby, Pet Smart, Chick -Fil- A, the new Mexican and Pizza Restaurant that just opened up.  We rented & watched The Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Clone Wars.  We went on walks, rode bikes, slept late and drank wine and ate some Ben and Jerry's Brownie Chunk in Chocolate Fudge ice cream.  I think that I had a fabulous Mother's Day weekend.  I hope you did too.   Love, Heidi

First off I wanted to thank all of you for the lovily comments, they really stroked my ego, you know, the one that I am trying to dissolve. (Reading The Art of Happiness and loving every bit).

As for this post, it is about something that has been pulling at my heartstrings for years now, Australia.  I would love to live there someday but for the time being I will be happy with visiting, so I have entered  a contest to win a trip for two on a wine tasting get-a-way.  It is called Taste your way around Australia.  I have played their little wine tasting game 75 times now, my goal is 200. (each time you play it is another chance to win)  My chances to win are high, but since I never win anything, I don't feel overly confident.  I have become an Australian wine expert through this little challenge.

  My persistance will pay off one day and one day I will be in Oz.  Enjoy, Heidi
