Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

It's not necessarily the object, but what the object stands for that is beautiful.

It's not necessarily the person, but who the person is that's beautiful.

It's necessarily the item,.. but inspiration and imagination the item can give that is beautiful...

Not everything is black and white.. sometimes... its every color all at once..



Have a great night

So while outside this afternoon, taking a small trip into the woods with the hillbilly,.. decided to bring a long a camera and have a little fun... and Fun is what we had... *huge smile stuck on face*

Anywho, in all the pictures we messed around with, this is my favorite one that the hillbilly took he does have some pretty good skills with the camera

Have you ever felt over the moon?
Have you ever felt true love?
Have you ever truly loved someone?
Have you ever done something completely crazy just to see someone smile?
Have you ever gave and expected nothing in return?
Have you ever put yourself last to see someone go first?
Have you ever wanted more but was happy with less?
Have you ever wished upon a star?
Have you ever thanked god, instead of asking him?

...if you have not, you should try it... life is meant to be lived. live it!

As memorial weekend comes, many will have a cook out and enjoy a meal with family and friends. However don't forget what Memorial day is about, who it is for. Take the time, to remember those, past and current that has fought to give you the freedoms that you now have today.

My father, and his father,.. my mothers father, all who have served the military, make this day that much more to me. I will take the time to thank them in my own way, as two of them are now gone.

Thank you to all the men and women (as well as their families), current and past that have served their country, with such passion and support, be safe, and god speed to those still out there.

I was unable to bring myself to blog this, but I knew I would at some point. It was always hard for me to imagine how people felt when someone they loved was given a time line, on how long they will live. When my father let me know that my grandfather was given a week to live I thought about it all the time, it ate away at me, always thinking always scared to answer the phone, just because I was aware of what I could possibly be told.

As all this ran through my mind, I did my best to keep myself busy, didn't want to talk about it, because if I didn't talk about it, then its not true right? I broke down at my highest moments, cried as I walked on a treadmill Sunday afternoon.

Then it happened, late night Sunday, there I was the phone ringing 10:40 pm. It was my dad, he was crying, my grandfather had passed away at 10:12 Sunday night. I didn't want to believe it, so I asked again, and he was gone, my fathers voice trembled as he spoke to me, a second heartbreaker to it all, to hear him at such a moment. I hung up after he assured me he would call back when everythng was arranged, and broke down in Howlins arms. So angry, so hurt, and so lost.

I have come to terms with this, as much as it tears me up, as much as I wish I had more time with him in my life after so many years of searching to find him, I still know a few things. I held that mans hand, I looked into his eyes, and for the first and final time I told him "I love you grandpa" and felt him squeeze my hand. I know that he knew I was there, that he saw me at least once in person and heard my voice. Last but not least I also know that he will be in a far better place, a place where there is no more pain, no more suffering. He is bath with my grandmother who I was never able to meet,.. probably telling her how he got to see all his long lost grandkids at least once.

Nothing in this world can take away the pain the tornado in Oklahoma has caused. It's unknown to many what it is like to go through what they are now, but as I was watching through the news with Howlin, I did see something that gives a little glimmer of hope, even when everything else is heart breaking. As to not take away from anyone else, My prayers do go out to all those who have lost loved ones, or to those who have been hurt, all those who have lost everything but their lives.. I'm grateful even with all that's going on in my life, that I woke up this morning.

Here is a little glimmer of hope, at least for this woman

So apparently howlin has yet to notice that I have so many different tones of voice,.. I can change it on a whim, usually without thinking about it before I do it....

So I'm sitting on the couch looking out the window, storms rolling up the clouds are DARK DARK grays,.. the thunder is just belting out and shaking the house every so often,..

I sit down and get situated.. and then just look out the window and say..."ooooooo DARKY DARK" ... in my best little old lady voice,.. and poor howlin busts a gut ...
^_^ ....

Today, sometime later in the afternoon, I had decided I would check my phone as I hardly use it, but for whatever reason I checked, I had two texts,.. they were from my dad. For those that know me, they know I just of this year got to meet my father for the first time, under some horrible circumstances, my grandfather, (on my dads side) was in the ICU for many issues.

It's been about two months since I have seen them, and he was texting to let me know that my grandfather was given about a week to live, that he has finally decided the fight is done, he has lived his life as long as its been needed. He finally got to meet all his grand children, maybe that's what he was holding on for, he gained an extra two months, and for that I am grateful, and I am grateful that I was able to see him and hold his hand and tell him that I loved him before he left this world.. my heart is breaking, and yet I understand that with his passing, his pain will be eased,..
