Get Out and Walk! We Live in Oregon!

Feeling tired and sluggish? Get out and walk! Do you have two legs? Then you can do it! It is free and we are fortune to live in a country where we are free to roam.
It is amazing what a little fresh air and body- in- motion can do for one's spirit.

Please don't complain about the weather. If it is cold out, just bundle-up. If it is raining go anyway. wear a hood and a rain coat.

I just talked to someone last night who just returned from a month away from Oregon. It was sunny and dry every day where she lived. She said she couldn't wait to return to beautiful green Oregon. What was suppose to be a two year move did not last but a month.
Sure, it was sunny and dry there; but the lush greenery was sacrificed for the dry weather, which didn't take long to dry out her nose and skin. She found herself longing for are variety of weather changes.

Maybe for all the people who complain about Oregon, a move away would do them good.
The woman I talked to last night highly recommends it.
She said people never appreciate what they have until it's gone!

OK, I am out the door now to enjoy a wonderful walk in Oregon!

God bless! xo

The Ecology Lyrics by Marvin Gaye

I love this song by Marvin Gaye. He wrote it in 1971, although it fits what is happening all over our globe right now.
I miss Bruce a lot when it comes to blogging my favorite songs. He and I shared the same interest in music. It was fun to chat with him about artists who were popular in the 70's. I know he would enjoy these lyrics by Marvin Gaye.

Mercy Mercy Me
[the ecology lyrics]

Oh mercy mercy me
Oh things aint what they use to be
No, no
Where did all the blue sky go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north, east and south and sea
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh things aint what they use to be
No, no
Oil washed on the oceans and the seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh things aint what they use to be
No, no
Radiation in the ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live near by are dying
Oh, mercy mercy me
Things aint what they use to be
What about this over crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord

I love the earth and the trees and the outdoors more then I love the city.
It might come from being raised in the country and having an entire forest for my back yard.
I played outside all day as a child and played in our nearby creek in the Summer time.
The song brings tears to my eyes.
I want the same things for my grandchildren. I want them to know and love the outdoors as my children did.
It is so important to smell fresh air and the scent of all the Seasons.

Cohen already loves trees. It is one of her words that comes out clear as a bell! She loves to go outside and touch the tree branches and feel the wind in her face.
Natural is healthy and the best thing for her tiny lungs.


I learned a week ago that it is factual that mercury from China is being carried by the wind to our end of the earth. Scientists found it in the soil in th Rocky Mountains.

We can never stop praying for the earth and the sky and doing everything we can to save it.
It is such a gift from our Creator God.

This was on my heart today and I needed to write about it.

God bless.

I Have to Pinch Myself

I have to pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming. God has blessed my life with so many wonderful gifts!
Gift number one is my Cohen!!!!
She has stolen my heart and is a part of my life I can't live without.
Being a Grandmother is indescribably wonderful!
Being a Mother to my three children was the "love of my life," and now enjoying my little Granddaughter is a fun and rewarding time in my life.
Her smile and laugh is contagious and as bright as a "Sunny Summer Day." It could be foggy and dark outside, but when I am with my Cohey girl everything is bright!
She is the "Essence of Fun!"
We have developed a special bond. I felt it the first time I held her at the hospital.
When you have a Cohen in your life, troubles and anything negative fade away; melted away by her beautiful radiant brightness the covers me when ever I think of her.

Thank you God for Cohen.

BLUE SKY AND SUNSHINE

I am looking out my window at blue sky and sunshine.
I am watching tiny cute birds in the tree tops, and everything is covered in a frosty shimmer.
What beautiful gifts from our Father Creator.
I am going to count my blessings today and give Thanks to God for life.

I pray that anyone who reads this will enjoy a wonderful Saturday in God's Light.

Loves!

BEAUTIFUL MORNING

It's a beautiful morning; I think I'll go outside for a walk.
Just breathing the clean fresh air!

I am meeting my Quinn today at Starbuck's before we both
go to work for the evening.
I wish Vin and Ryder could join us. It would be the best to
have all three of my guys with me for coffee and fellowship.
How blessed am I? There are not enough stars in the sky to count!

God bless, xo

Breakfast With My Girls

What a wonderful way to start my day, having breakfast with my girls.
Kesha and Cohen are one of my gifts from God and I can't get enough of either of them!

I enjoyed hearing what Kesh had to say about her feelings for Christ, and we both agree
on the meditation of our heart being 100% in Christ and avoiding evil with all our might.
We had a good conversation about life, and the love we share for purity and grace.

Last night I read my bible that my precious Aunt Lova gave to me in 1985. My mother had told
me that she wasn't doing well emotionally and had called my cousin Lee crying on the phone.
This news broke my heart in two and I felt the need to pray exclusively for her.
Reading from the bible she had given me felt comforting. God's word is comforting.

I had not been sleeping well for a few nights; but after taking time to relax before bed last night,
and reading and praying; I finally fell asleep and slept like a baby.
Today I realized I had not been putting God first in my life, and had allowed too much of the
world to take control of my thoughts.

"Your words are a flashlight to light the path ahead of me,
and keep me from stumbling." Psalm 119:105

God bless. xo
