This week the  two things have been on my mind are  Raindrops and Ladybugs.  --First, Ladybugs, also called Ladybirds by our friends across the pond , because I have 3 Ladybug forms waiting to be mosaic'd ~ thanks to hubby. He cut the cutest forms and I am loving how the glass is just falling into place on them. --Second, it has rained, then been sunny, then rained, etc. A nice change from where we moved from - where if the day started out cloudy and rainy, that lasted the whole day. Here - if it starts that way, by afternoon the sun is shining bright like it never rained. But then it can starts out clear skies and sun, and then rain late in the afternoon. Either way, I'll take it.

I was feeling uninspired this morning for Walking on Wednesday. Just didn't know what to write about. Often in these circumstances, the thing that gets me out of the rut is actually a nice walk. It gets the blood flowing, leaves me with only myself, and the dog, and whatever squirrel we come across with the occasional dog barking. So today I got on my walking clothes, got the leash and poop bag, put on my walking shoes. I was ready for a nice mind clearing walk. I go out side, chat a minute with hubby who is having his morning smoke with coffee outside, and what happens? It starts to rain. I think, "oh, just sprinkling, maybe I could get a quick walk in". Before I finish this thought, it begins to pour. So there I am, ready to walk, the dog just as excited as ever because she loves walks. And I say "No walk today, back inside Lady J". She pauses, looks confused, and finally gets it as I head inside. Great, no walk today. I did not feel like getting wet,...

I have been hearing this song on the radio lately, and it calms me every time I hear it.   And I was just thinking, as we get closer to the holidays, maybe we should all have this song handy, so we don't give in to the stress of the holiday season. Just a thought. We can all sit back for a minute, while listening to this song, and let our dreams take us..... Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
