  4. Joys. All the time. Morning coffee (and I'm not supposed to). Simply, another morning. Drawing and coffee in bed. Sewing later. Quiet. Writing. Taking photographs to say what words cannot. Ironing, I do love ironing. Working from home and being able to be a homemaker. All my young life till now, I have always wanted to be a homemaker. A friend who has an eye for beauty in all she does. Her laughter over things that would make some cry. My heart's beat...her's too. saints and haints/church/nancy

  5. The acorn feeders are beautiful, aren't they. Always love to start the day reading your joys and blessings. They make me want to pop up off of my chair and start singing. Thanks for the tip about the hormones. I've been trying to get off for a long time. Have an absolutely beautiful day-I know you will.

  11. I've been hooked on Starbucks skinny vanilla latte lately, will try the pumpkin soon!

    We lived on a farm once heavily planted with pin oaks...lots and lots and lots of acorns. You have helped me see them in a different light!

    Thanks for your words of wisdom...each one of them!

    I'm praying for you Deena and asking God to supply your every need.

    Blessings!

  17. Deena,

    One of my favorite fall things are acorns and the bird feeders are delightful. I really should get some for the cardinals and the bluejays. They love peanuts and they would come to the yard all winter.

    I`m glad that your headaches are better and I enjoyed your joys for the day.

    Continuing to pray for you, my friend. I will be posting an update on Aunt May tomorrow.

    Blessings,
    Mary

  30. Saw these in Romantic Homes Mag/Oct 2008.
    www.bridesagainstcancer.org and
    www.makingmemories.org
    My husband and I were talking about my dance in the past with C.
    I remember a particularly hard day in the hospital and my husband brought me the new yoga mag. Even though I was in no shape to do yoga anymore, I read it. In it was an Obit section. So I read about this famous man who had just died at 32.
    He was organic since a child, dedicated his life to yoga and to become a monk in the highest of levels one can reach within that community. He had studied and devoted his entire life to meditation. He died of Cancer at
    32 yrs old. I thought I'd fall out of the bed laughing! I had been beating myself up for not having taken better care of my health. Who had money for organic when as a single mom I had been lucky just to keep any food on the table. Having lived too many years in smog and pollution of NY etc etc. Here's this guy, whole life, clean inside and out, poof! Whatcha gonna do. When I began to cry once more tonight about fearing what my weeks may be like if there weren't you here...my husband gently said "You know, we know this dance. We know that no one can know the plan for her. It is a private journey between her and God, just as it was between you and God. Learning to let go of all things may be just the balance needed, then again, maybe holding on tightly to all life is...maybe that is what she's learning. One thing is for sure, because of what happened for us, there are miracles. And because of what we've seen happen in others, while there is still breath in her body, there is still hope." Deenz, you may go right up to the edge of the abyss of bliss, peak over and say, ok, let's do it! Just to find out, it is not your day or even year to go. No one knows. But what is a sure thing is that no one is getting out of this alive. No one knows when it's going to be their time. What puzzles me is why we all, all of society, don't act like it could be our last day, and be the best, do the best with all we've been given?
    We do know we're finite..so why the illusions otherwise?
    Carpe' Bein Baby!
    Love you.

  35. I'm so glad your headaches and eyesight are a little better. Soon you'll be taking your walks again.

    I was just reading through the comments and I love what Church said about why we don't act like it could be our last day...be our best and do the best with all we've been given and just be happy. I love all your joys and we should be thankful for each and everyday. Your teaching us all something here. Thanks! Enjoy your day....Jenn xoxo

  37. I love the acorns, and am so happy to hear your eye sight is better.

    After reading your comment about Hormone replacements I want to talk to my daughters Doctor. She had a total Hysterectomy three weeks ago, they gave her her first shot of Hormones then and talk like she will need to stay on them. She is only 35. At the least I want to understand more about it.

    Take care, and God bless you.

  38. Deena, I love all of your acorns. They are so uniqe.

    I am sorry about your eye-sight. I will keep my prayers for you going.

    You have a wonderful attitude. Hugs, Kathi

  39. What a lovely post Deena. That's interesting that you think the HRT caused your cancer. I have heard that before and now that I am entering menopause, I have actually considered going on them because of my whacked out moods. Thanks for the advice. I love the acorns, they are amazing!
