Busy Busy Busy
Although I've been too busy to post, (and probably will be for a few more days) I am still continuing to work on my gratitude journal late at night. I will post the updates when I get a moment to breathe.

Gratitude Journal Day 15
Today I'm thankful for my vision. For my ability to distinguish and appreciate line, form, shape, color, and light. For my eyes which are definitely my Daddy's. They are my sole beauty.

The Artful_Losers
The group for artists who want to lose weight is off to a rollicking start! Such WONDERFUL and SUPPORTIVE women. We've vented, we've rambled, we've cheered and encouraged. Information is freely flowing, and the pounds are melting off. Today we started our first 10 pound challenge, and as each one of us hits our mark, the others will send small bits of handmade art, or ephemera for our stash. It's amazing how coming together as a group, we each feel stronger. I feel so focused. It's like an adrenaline rush. I have very high hopes indeed for this great group of creative, fabulous, passionate women!
Gratitude Journal Day 14
Today I am grateful for my job. For the opportunities it affords me, for the satisfaction and sense of fulfillment it gives me. For the income it provides and the daily challenges it charges me with.

Gratitude Journal Day 13
On this day, I am so eternally grateful to all the Soldiers out there who are fighting so that we may live free. These brave young men and women face down giants on a daily basis so that we may enjoy peace. They live in unbearable conditions so that we may have comfort. For all the Veterans who did all these things and more before now, and for all those who are fighting the war now, I am indebted. My life is one of comfort, ease and peace because of them. I pray for their safety, and for their families peace of mind while they are away. I am grateful.
Gratitude Journal Day 12
Today is so easy and simple... I am so very grateful for the Furbabies that have touched my life. With their total and unrestrained, unconditional love and affection, their warm slobbery kisses, their tricks and their soulful eyes they have made all of my days better. The adoration each time they greet me can cheer the sourest mood. Look at that sweet little thing! This is our current babydog, Sophie. A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and a sweeter, gentler friend you'll never meet.

Paper Snowflakes and the Name Game
When I took down the very last of the holiday decorations I left these... It IS still winter in Ohio after all, and it seemed a bit empty without all the holiday excess we so lovingly cram in.
I was snooping around on some of my friends blog, and Andi http://www.andisbodaciousbabel.blogspot.com/ had her name's meaning up on her blog. So of course it got me curious to see what they said about the name Kari...
What Kari Means
You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
Now Andi thought for hers some were true and some were not, but for mine-SPOOKY. My mother and husband could not have described me so perfectly-flaws and all!
