It's Foto Friday at Rebecca's blog. The theme this week was an enjoyable one. It was SPRING.

I wasn't thrilled with my pictures this week, but here they are.

Spring means warm weather for outdoor chores.

Pouring over gardening books and planning out my garden.

It also means planting cool weather vegetables.

Playing outdoors after supper.

Blooming flowers.

As well as sprouting rhubarb.

Spring is also a time to celebrate special days like Palm Sunday.

    Isn't it curious how certain things mean "spring" to us? It's the same way with me.

    My favorite is of Dan and Emily playing basketball. She looks very happy to be playing with her daddy!

    I think that my favorite of your pictures would be the daffodils.

    I really liked your daffodil picture. They are my favorite spring flower. I also liked the one of your daughter and husband playing basketball. Good job!

    The pictures are so beautiful. I took some photos of some flowers around my yard--think I'll blog about it today. It's always nice to see a pretty picture.
    BTW, you did do something creative this week! You took nice photographs! Next time you should link to SCF--an eye for beauty is a creative thing, too!

Choosing Not to Kick the Cat

The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long. The man then came home and snapped at his wife. His wife, in turn, yelled at their son for a small infraction because she was upset. The son was now hurt by his mom and pushed his little sister. She, being the youngest, turns around and kicks the cat! Zig talked about making a different choice by not allowing others bad behaviors and moods cause you to respond in the

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost
