TIME - Things I Must Enjoy

-
Last week, I pondered how fast time was going by. I was reminded of this by the fact that two of Vintage Raige's timepieces (the only two in the shop) were featured in collection in the same week.


But as usual, I was grieving the lost time. I was lamenting on the fact that days were whizzing by, kids were growing, and I was probably reading too much into the coincidence.

Then this week, The Fantastic Five appears, and focuses on TIME.  It featured all different kinds of timepieces. Great collection of items, but what got me was in one of the comments.


My adopted Grandmother Carolyn (from Grandmother House) had the best acronym for TIME:


        • T - Things 
        • I - well, just I
        • M- Must
        • E - Enjoy



she also included Things I Must Earn, but that is too stressful of a mantra for me today.


I love the reminder to enjoy. Sometimes we forget that.
The clock keeps ticking, enjoy every tick-tock and you will not have to grieve, lament, or regret anything.


ENJOY! and don't forget to check out The Fantastic Five on Zibbet.com

    Having similar thoughts. Been doing so much running around this past month, no time even for my blog. But I bought this $5 little fountain that runs on batteries from CVS. Not sure what prompted me. Except sometimes I just want silence, no kids, no radio...but not UTTER silence...problem is, you get what you pay for; I hear the buzz of the little batteries more than the water...stressful.

    oh no...buzzing of batteries is louder than the water! that stinks.
    there is nothing more soothing than the sound of water, in my humble opinion. I hope you can find one with no buzz kill, lol.
    and hey, what a great idea, I should put a nice indoor fountain on my wishlist...

    What an awesome acronym!

    My daughter actually talked to me about time the other day. She had a very scientific reason why it seems so fast for everyone lately. Alas, I can't describe what she said, but it has something to do with the earth alignment or something.

    Your right we need to enjoy every moment we have doing what we love and spend less time thinking about how fast time is going by. Thanks for the reminder!

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

-

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
