My 365...

Hello my internet friends.  I know I have never met you, but that does not mean you are any less than a real part of my life.  Many of the people in my life today, I met online.  Either through social networks, parenting forums, professional forums, gaming forums, creative forums.  Over 75% of my professional client base I deal with online or by phone only, and we have never met in person.  All of these people are real to me, and I care very much about every single one of them.

I have had the pleasure of meeting several "In real life", and it was as if we had known each other forever.  And why is that?  Because we have.  In person, online, on the phone, it is all "human" interaction and that makes it very real.  Anyone who says it is anything less has no clue what they are talking about.  To them I say....try it.  I double-dawg dare you to try it and experience it for yourself and not call it "real." 

Blake and I were watching the update video posted by Charles Trippy  yesterday regarding his recent health crisis, and we wanted to cry.  I felt as if one of my own children had just been given some life changing news and I could not be there to comfort him.  My heart was breaking for him.  When I broke the news to Casey, who has been watching Charles Trippy for three plus years, he was sincerely devastated for him.

Would it have made a difference if Blake had actually met him on Thursday?  Not at all.  He is still the wonderful Charles Trippy who is a great role model for young people.

The point of this rant you ask?

Any encounter we experience that involves another human being, spirit, soul on this planet is real no matter how that encounter was realized.  Standing before me shaking my hand, greeting me with a hug...spending three hours together in a "virtual" classroom, teleconference or even a gaming marathon, to talking on the phone about everything that matters in life, or taking time out of every single day to watch a YouTuber vlog about their life...is real.  It is an open door into someone else's life, and they are welcoming you in to be their friend.  I accept.  :)

You are all very real to me, and I care.  Thank you for taking the time to read about my family and I, and to care about us.

To Charles and Alli Trippy, we are sending healing thoughts and prayers to you.  Your CTFxC army is behind you 100 percent and it is the power and prayer of all the people who care about you and believe in you that will carry you through the difficult days ahead.  We love you.  <3

Happy Sunday world.  Hope the sun is shinning in your corner of the planet today.  :)

We have two new colors in the yard this morning....
 ...and they are stunning!

 Still a little gloomy outside.  Come on sun, we know you are up there.

This next few days are the last minute rush before Christmas, but not here.  I am very relaxed, and taking it easy, preparing only to experience the magic of Christmas with family.

It does not matter how many gifts are under the tree, what matters is that my sons are home and will be with me to celebrate Christmas.  I will be preparing a delicious Christmas ham with all the trimmings, and it will be awesome!

My daughter still chooses not to be a part of our life, but that is her decision not ours therefore there is really nothing I can do to change that.  What I can do is send positive thoughts, love and Christmas wishes through the cosmos in her direction.  I hope she feels them at least a little bit. :)


All we need is a little snow...*hint* *hint*...then this will be a wonderful Christmas.

My photos of the day...

"Oh look, balls!"
 "I just love balls!"
 "Bored with balls, what else can I play with?"
 "I smell banana!"
 "Nom nom nom, I love bananas...."
 "What's next grandma?"
"More balls!"
 "I wonder what's up here?"
 And he is not even a year old yet.  Always adventuring this little grandson of mine.  <3

My 365...

We had a crazy windstorm last night as a front moved into the area.  It sounded like a hurricane...well, if there were such a thing as hurricanes in the north west.  :)

When I went outside this morning, I fully expected to see tree branches everywhere, but thankfully, the trees stood firm.  With our experience a few months ago of that HUGE branch falling in the back yard for no reason whatsoever, I now worry about all the trees falling on our head.  These trees are so old.

My beautiful giving tree was a bit naked though.  The wind blew most of her lovely golden dress off.

For dinner tonight...homemade chili!  The beans are almost ready.

My photos of the day...

Blake finally let me cut off his 5" Mohawk of doom...

Miss Lilly was outside with me running through the yard hysterically trying to catch all the falling leaves.  She would stand very still, then a leaf would fall behind her and scare the puppy right out of her!  I truly believe she thought the sky was falling...
 "Oh thank you Miss Lilly, what ever would I do without you?"
 
 *gasp*
 She really does bark like this. 
"I do not!"
"Yes you do..."
"NOT!"
"Yes..."
"Snort!"
 
"So much for saving the world Miss Lilly."

Fresh, new and unexpected.  When that occurs in life, it makes existence so much sweeter.

Every day can bring with it new experiences, new highs, new loves.  The only requirement to such magic is to look to life with a smile in your heart and something much better than rose-colored glasses.  That would be "hope" colored glasses.  They are free and available for all to use.  Try them on, they do not dissapoint.  :)

My photo of the day...

Blake looks to every day with hope and excitement.  Today he found a random balloon floating down the street.  What a great gift for a Monday.
