What Brings you Joy?

I have this tune in my head and I can’t get it out.
It’s called “Thank God” by Foolish Things. It’s one of those tunes when you hear it, doesn’t leave for a couple days, I listened to it on my way to work this morning, and I think it was what I needed to hear.

I have had trouble stopping what I’m doing to Thank God for what I have. I have had trouble taking time out for him, praising him for the little and big things in life.
So, dance, and sing, and praise God for what you have.

“Thank God”
I thank God for all the good things in life
‘cause I’ve got my boys
And I’ve got my brisk tea
Oh yeah.
So many times I forget the joys
Those simple things he gave me

And thank God
The brothers that he gave me
Fill my heart with joy
And thank God
‘cause he has turned my rain clouds
Into sunny days

Thank God
I think all the purpose in life
‘cause I could write a song for all the problems with the women
And all things that could be but never will
But I don’t have time to write that many songs

And thank God
The brothers that he gave me
Fill my heart with joy
And thank God
‘cause he has turned my rain cloud
Into sunny days

And even though he takes me
Through the valley days
The under walksman learns
Thank God
It wasn’t all pain
No, no
It wasn’t all pain
Yea yea

Thank God
The brothers that he gave me
Fill my heart with joy
Thank god
‘cause he has turned my rain clouds into sunny days
Thank God
The brothers that he gave me fill my heart with joy
Thank God
I Thank God … for my home that is dry and warm
I Thank God… for my family near and far
I Thank God … for my “brothers”… sisters, and Friends
I Thank God… for the rainy days, which make the sunny days sunnier
I Thank God … for a husband that understands me and loves me unconditionally
I Thank God… for little things that bring me Joy like Halloween, ruby slippers, coffee and coworkers.
I Thank God … For Fridays!!!

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

8 Years Ago Today...

8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
