in times of crisis....

I was thinking about all the disasters that happen everyday or some days in the world..Times like those are very stressful, upsetting, dangerous, and awful...Whenever there are disasters or awful occurrences that endanger lives, upset people and scare people you have to stand up and pull yourselves together...

Even though you may be frightened you must always remember to be strong and brave for not just for yourself but your family, friends, and neighbors or the others involved in a disaster or an awful event...

People panic when disasters occur and it is just normal to be terrified but you have to know that when you are strong you can make it through the disaster...

it takes not just one person alone to be brave!!!..It takes many others standing together to be brave to work together to make the situation safer and save lives...Telling yourself not to panic and be in control of your emotions is also another way to cope with the stress of something terrifying that causes crisis..Because when you can calm yourself and control how you feel you will be more able to take care of the situation....

I think about floods, tornadoes, wildfires, snow storms, dust storms, hurricanes, or even just accidents on highways or town..any kind of crisis like that you have to all work together to make sure the situation is under control and to keep people safe and save lives by working together in unity to make things better.

in times of crisis you must always work together to prepare for disasters we all need first responders to disasters, medical teams, and the know how to have preparedness teams and evaluate situations before they can or may happen...

sure, it's very stressful and upsetting but everyone has to work together to be prepared and to be stronger for everyone when times of crisis appear...disasters are just apart of life and when we are faced with these awful situations we must always work in unity to make sure they are well managed...

management and preparedness teams along with medical teams are something that everyone needs! there needs to be structure for towns and cities and rural areas at all times to keep people safe and managed..

always be prepared!

greed, power and money....

Of all things one thing I think is something that will destroy any person is greed.
 
Greedy people always want everything and can never have enough...It doesn't matter what it may be, money, power, land, material things...They can just never be completely happy without everything and more and more of that certain item.
 
I really don't like it when people worship money and power...They destroy themselves and the lives of others including their families...One day the sad idiots all wake up and realize that their love of greed and material things has truly ruined their lives...It's just what happens....
 
They will ruin lives and destroy others lives to get what they want in their possession....They will turn to any evilness they can to get what they want..Money and power are usually the first things that drive people to greed and deception....It gets very dangerous with these individuals who choose to worship greed, power, and money!!!
 
they think that these things will bring them happiness and control over others...but in the end it ruins their lives and destroys them totally....A person can never be friends with or associate themselves closely with greedy people because you can never trust them...they are always jealous of anything you have and want to take anything that you have they want for themselves...It is rather a kind of sickness of the mind when people are so greedy.
 
nothing they have or get will ever be enough and they destroy so many lives to have more and more of these greedy things like power,money, and control....they use and deceive others to get what they want from them and then they laugh behind their back at them and make fun of them while stealing what they have from them...that's how these types of morons are...
 
when I know people are greedy like that, I just avoid them and I can tell when they are not good people...I just laugh and say:" Well, it won't get you far idiot!!!"...
 
greed will always destroy any person...you can have everything you want and more, it will never make those types of people happy because enough is never enough for them.

when you worship things likes power, money, material things, it will always be what will ruin your life...

today, working with polymer clay....

I have been making polymer clay figures today....All kinds of ideas of things to make out of the clay..It is very calming to set there and create with all colors...great for your mind to work on....put your thinking hat on!...haha!

I have purchased the colors---Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Brown, White, Orange.

I have just the basic colors right now..I will collect more later.

They were just .97 cents/a small package.

The brand I use is called Sculpey....I think it is a great brand of clay.

it's something I really enjoy...You can make any kind of figurine you like then bake it in your oven.

I just create them then I put them into a storage box....I like to sometimes give them as gifts to people!...

second chances....

People make mistakes in life and I believe everyone deserves a second chance to correct the wrongs and make them rights!

My brother and I were talking one day, and he was talking about people choosing the wrong paths in life and I was telling him how sad I felt for people being treated poorly by others when they have made some serious mistakes in the past....because I know that they deserve at least a chance.

he told me that day:" Julie, everybody deserves a second chance and I think nobody should ever continually judge others for those old mistakes when they are given the opportunity to change and will." and I agree with him.

Sure people will always choose wrong decisions and make a mess with their lives but hey, nobody's perfect...I don't judge others or belittle others for dumb stupid things they have done and I think they need a second chance....

They can have a second chance, and then IF they keep making wrong decisions and cannot prove they are going to make a good change for their lives and others lives? No more second chances!!! and they need to get with the program or be kicked to the curb!!!...just how I feel about that...

sometimes I think people need to know that when they have that second chance they don't need to be judged anymore when they make the right choice.....because you know what? If people want to change they can and will change...you can always become a better person and be a great addition to something wonderful that will do something awesome for the world!

we need all the extra help we can get in the world to make great things happen!!!...the more second chances available to people who have made stupid mistakes, that just means that there will be more people to work on making the wrongs right!...

everybody can change and become a better person when they want to and I think all they need sometimes are second chances and not to be judged....The bible always says not to judge others and let The Lord be the judge of all people.....I agree.

Change is a favorite word of mine...because everybody can change to the good side if they want to.

following guidelines...

One thing that I know I always try to follow are guidelines for all things in life.

If I have a product I always read the safety labels and the guidelines that tell me what to be trying to achieve or not to be trying to achieve or create...

Guidelines are sometimes simple and sometimes confusing!

When you have guidelines or manuals for occupational related areas, safety, or health you must always read and follow those rules, regulations, requirements to make very sure you do not make mistakes and cause a serious accident or injury..

Sometimes the know how to approach a occupation is included in the guidelines..they are there to help inform you and regulate how you attempt all things..

the information can be in included booklets, stickers on products, and informational software in packaging....

I always read all labeling....any misuse of information on those labels and safety stickers is very dangerous...it's just very critical to always allow time to read and understand all guidelines and included information....

the guidelines for products also help you with assembling and understanding but I get mad sometimes and I don't have patience to read those included in products and I try to put them together myself anyway without reading them and I assemble a product from a box and it is a mess! haha!

I look at the assembled mess that I made and I say:" Well you have ruined it now Julie!"....haha!...and you know that's my own fault for having no patience and I have to start all over and finally read the information...

as with all things life is also a lot like that...it sometimes has guidelines for what to attempt and what not to attempt..sometimes you follow guidelines and all goes well....sometimes you think on your own and make good decisions with out following the rules...sometimes your own ideas can change the world for the good....!!!

needed cleaning supplies...Lightning?....

I think I need to go to town sometime and buy a few new cleaning supplies...I really need to find a window cleaning solution that works well and I also like using those disinfectant wipes that are anti-bacterial to clean counter tops, bathroom areas, all kinds of messes you may make so they can be sanitary after you clean them....so I always buy them to clean countertops with...

today I will probably work on cleaning out the freezer and the refrigerator I always clean the inside and outside of my refrigerator...on the inside I take everything out and throw away old food that needs to be thrown away and then I mix up in a small pan half water and half bleach and I take an old towel and place that into the bleachy water then I clean the inside of the refrigerator out  continually wiping that out of there.....until it is clean and smells great!...nobody likes a stinky refrigerator!!!...Haha...or anything stinky!...Shoo!

I may get the calf Lightning sometime this week and bring her here to live...I am hopeful to get her here so I can finally see her and she can be friends with Stormy....

Stormy can go out of the pen into the pasture now so she can roam free....Stormy was right back to the pen yesterday evening!...she wanted some more feed!...I thought:" Stormy girl, you have a whole pasture of wheat out there to eat on and you are back up here wanting feed!"......haha!...I just laugh and I pet her..then she went back out there with her friends....she's funny and makes me giggle....

love, Julie

volunteer fire departments....

Today there is a wildfire danger...That means that the ground and vegetation is extremely dry and you cannot burn anything outdoors or even grill food outside...

When there is no rain and a lot of windy conditions it makes it very easy for embers and sparks to start fires on anything outdoors...I don't like drought conditions and I don't like very parched dry land, it's bad for farmers, everyone and everything and very easy for you to catch things on fire...

you can lose your home, your belongings, your loved ones and your pets in a fire...People should always be cautious even when driving heavy machinery on dry ground, it could spark and ignite wildfire...

people also should not smoke and throw their cigarettes out windows because they also start fires..

I can remember for the last several years that there have been many many fires started due to the carelessness of people and the drought stricken areas of our state....It is very scarey when you see very tall fires in the distance burning down trees, homes, land!

 Fire smoke is very dangerous for you! Your safety and your health...it can also burn your lungs and eyes! and give you very, very awful breathing problems  when you are too close to it!...driving in smoky areas is something that is very dangerous as well...

Fire fighters are people who I appreciate a lot..They make a great difference in the world and they save lives..they have to be properly trained and when they work for local community fire departments I know they run low on money they have a tough time getting money to work on to take care of local fire problems and save lives..

Volunteer fire departments always need help and they also need fundraisers and money...They are always looking for extra volunteers to work with them to combat wildfires and all fires in the local communities...and for people who live in the countryside..

they have to have travel expenses, equipment, training, water and that is always going to be needed in all smalltown areas and rural areas..

we need more local volunteer support teams in these more rural areas because rural areas always are further from stations and need extra support...You can also get out there and meet some new great people to make friends with and talk with...while keeping people safe and helping them out!!!

People who live in town need to support their city support teams like their firefighters, police and emergency response teams because they all need to know that they are appreciated!!! they make a good difference in the world and are always there to help people out in times of crisis...

love, Julie

i don't judge people.....

I'm not a judgemental person at all...I think it's very wrong to be judgemental of people for whatever their past may be...I don't care what they have done in the past...because the past is over..You have to always remember that nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes...

Life can be challenging and it's full of upsets and bad things...It can be tough to figure out what is the right thing to do and that's when people make mistakes or get into trouble...I don't judge anyone for anything they have done when they are making the right decisions and making a great difference in their lives and the world!

The past is just the past, and whenever I meet someone or see someone they don't ever have to worry that when I stand there and talk to them that I am going to judge them for what they wear, or what they have done or haven't done, because I don't care...

everybody makes mistakes and I think sometimes people forget that.....Everybody is equal and nobody is perfect...when you want to change your life and make things better and safer for you, your loved ones and the world...you have done something amazing!

changing your life for the better is always wonderful and everybody goes through times when they act stupid and make bad life decisions....who cares! when you have a past let it go and forget it with bettering yourself and changing yourself into someone who does want to make great things happen, and get away from drugs and evil things in life....

I totally believe that people can change and that since we are just people we all can make stupid mistakes and we all have the ability to stand up and say:"Ok I'm sick of this bad life, I want to be a better person! "....and you can and will...

I just don't want people to think that I would ever be judgemental to anyone who has made mistakes and made messes with their lives...because I am not that way...I do not take part in stupid things but I don't want anyone to think I would be snobby to them or judge them for their behavior when they are trying to change their life around and make their life and the world a better place...

I know everyone deserves second chances and it can be trying when you are working on changing your life and you have to remember that you need to let the past go and start over all new with beautiful brand new ideas and feelings about your life and the world when you are trying to change for the better..

but I'm not snobby or judgemental at all...that's the last thing I would ever want anyone to think about me!......

I don't belittle people, I don't make fun of people, I don't care what you wear or how much money you have or don't have, I don't care what you drive or own, or any of those things...I just do not care...I only want for everyone to make the right decision and change their lives for the better...

Clean up your bad trouble messes in your life, and change them into good messes like painting or cooking in the kitchen and those kind of messes are way better!!!...

I don't look at people and say:"What have they done?" I just shake their hands and I say:" Hi how are ya!"

fence work.......crafting projects....

They have started cleaning up the road nearby...taking down lots of trees that have needed to be taken down for quite some time because the drought ruined them...They are using a dozer and pushing them down and scraping the land...It looks much better and I like a good change even if it's just a road changing the looks of things changes how you feel when you drive down it even...isn't that weird?

They will continue for another week scraping up the land and trees and I will have to help take down the old fence line along this place northside and they will push out all the ruined drought stricken trees there..that fence is very old...they will have to put in a new one eventually...I can't wait to see how much better it will look all cleaned up along that fence line and a new one later on....I just like that it will not be cluttered with old drought trees that are falling over anyway and will look much cleaner...

I really enjoy working on farming related things like this, and taking up old fence line has been something I have liked taking part in several other times I have worked on fence line...haha! Isn't that funny how I am?!

they're also going to remove a very old tree back nearby the barn that has needed to be removed many years now it is very tall and a danger because once again the drought ruined that one and it could fall and injure anyone nearby it..the branches all fall off a lot and sway in the wind and creak...so I'm very happy that one is getting removed it's dangerous...

I will be working on that today for awhile and then work on something else outside I suppose.

what I would like to do is go to town and purchase a box of polymer clay...I'd like to make some of those cute, whimsical figures like I made with my Grandma when I was a small child...we made a teddy bear I think...I don't know where she has placed that and I have a necklace made out of that polymer clay....it's very neato I think.

I like to work on crafting projects when I have time to...it's a favorite thing of mine---painting and crafting projects!!!....any kind you'd like to work on or try to figure out.

 It's a great thing to want to work on crafting projects which I think are actually just a form of Art......well, to me they are anyway....being creative.

I like to go to craft shows...there just aren't a lot of them nearby....I've went to craft shows all my life and purchased a lot of crafts people have created and sold they are very pretty and it's usually seasonal decorations for the house or painted on t-shirts/jeans, jewelry.....or paintings....

attending craft/art shows is something that I really enjoy...even if you are not purchasing an item, you can go look and support local artists...

love, Julie

complete all tasks....

Ran out of calf feed and had to purchase some more yesterday...I had to get more feed due to the fact that it's still wintry outside this week in case it freezes too much...I don't know how many round bales we will need to feed them today out there, incase it snows a lot...I like the Dew-eze..makes it much simpler than hauling them to the pasture with a tractor.....

One thing that I always think needs to be done is completing any project or work related job that you are working on....I think the more you keep working at something you know has to be finished, and you keep trying to work on it, and work through it, you will start seeing results of all your tough work and then you start to see the completion...

it doesn't matter if it's just a painting project, or a any kind of occupation you may have...you should always work on completing the task...

as with all things I know the same old, same old, everyday repeating of a job can get tiresome and boring!...but when you know you have to work on it everyday, and work on getting results and being productive you can always try your best every morning you wake up, til the end of your work hour, and think about the future, when you get a pay check or when you get those results after completing your job for the week...

I always think about things and how a challenge with an occupation can be something to work on and try new ways to go about your day and think of all kinds of different ways to get things completed...

I like a challenge when you have to really think and combine all of your thoughts into some genius ideas to work on your job...then try new ideas and ways to make your occupation more so geared toward you, so you know how to look at your challenge and work on it already before you are presented with it...

always look before you leap as they say..which means have well planned ideas already before you tackle a project or a situation..i'm all about planning things with my ideas and thoughts....before I work on anything, I think it through and calculate it in my mind....so I will know what I'm going to do when given a challenge or project.

you always have to think up new ideas and new ways to keep things from being so boring or tiresome! reinventing everyday with new ideas and all kinds of well planned scheduled work related ideas from everyone and yourself working together is a great way to keep yourself and others going while working on everyday same old, same old... 

one thing I think is a great thing to do is write down everything you want and think about your occupational challenge on a piece of notebook paper or a dry erase board and have everyone working on the same project with you write down their views and thoughts on something, that way all your ideas combine with theirs and you have many different views on a challenging work related issue..to get the problem solved, figured out or completed.

that way everyone is involved...being well organized is a must.

work related problems can be stressful, boring, emotional, scary, and technical...

everyone's thoughts count so everyone needs a marker, pen, paper...I always use a blue or green pen or marker!!!...haha!......

then you need to talk about everyone's ideas and thoughts on paper and choose which one works the best for all of you...if you don't know which one to choose...choose the one that you all think you can agree on.....if not, just toss a coin...it doesn't matter where it lands when you have all your best ideas on the discussion table on paper...

thinking up all kinds of ways to laugh during stressful times is great as well...because you have to keep laughing through it to get along and complete the current job related situation...

just do not give up..you will work through it!

dizzy, painting and sketching....

Went to town yesterday and when I got home I became very dizzy and felt sick...everything was spinning and I had to lie down on the floor...

I hate being dizzy!!! I've always had inner ear problems and sometimes I get water in my ears caused from allergies, infection, or just being in the water..Maybe it was the very chilly wind that was blowing in my ear? because my ear has been hurting some...

there was some medicine in my cabinet for dizziness and I took 1..I feel much better and I'm not spinning!...it's awful to be dizzy!..thankfully I didn't get dizzy at town yesterday..I'd hate to have to lay down in the aisle at a store and cry like that infront of people!...haha....

anyway enough about my dizzy,

I purchased a few new tubes of acrylic paints...I have most colors but I have used all of the white and the light blue...Those are the 2 new colors that I purchased at the store.

I have to mix the white paint with other bold colors sometimes to get the right hue for whatever I am painting...I like the metallic acrylic paints as well..but I haven't purchased any of those just yet!

The canvas that I purchased the other day was on sale $2/a canvas...I thought that was a great sale...Anytime you can find art supplies on sale it's wonderful to purchase them when you need them..I think so anyway...

Lately I have been painting quite a bit...it's nice to paint when you are bored or not working on things or just whenever you are creative!

The paint I use works well for me on canvas and I like it very well...I also just buy all kinds of different brands of paints wherever I can find them..it doesn't matter what brand...

There are art sets that I have seen that include everything you need with them some are inexpensive and some are expensive just depends on what you are able to spend...but that's only if you want one ya know?...

The art sets include a palette, easel, paints, brushes and sometimes a color wheel for mixing instruction....that way you get everything you need in the set...some also include colored pencils and sketch paper..

Some of the art sets have easels with drawers that you can lock and shut closed with your brushes, color wheel, and your pencils kept in..you can carry that easel with you when you want to work with the painting somewhere else....some will store paints but others won't, so you will need to store your paints in the original box they were in when you purchased them....

sketch pads are something that I like because whenever you are wanting to paint something you can sketch it out first on the sketch pad with a pencil, then transfer that onto your canvas if you like how you have drawn it....

my favorite paint is acrylic paint..oils paints are way to messy to work with for me...so I always use acrylic paints...

I really enjoy art and painting..something I am fascinated with has to be colors of paints...or just colors in general.

love, julie

poverty....

It was on the news where somewhere a family was unable to pay for their home and they were kicked out in the cold!...That makes me very upset..I know that many many people do not have money and they have a very tough time living and sustaining a life for themselves and their loved ones.

everyone needs a good job to survive and be able to take care of themselves and their families!

It's awful to think that whenever people do not have any money they don't need to enjoy a great life...how sad...I think that whenever you have a lot of money that's good....But it's not the most important thing in the world..

Money shouldn't be something that makes you more important or more well thought of if you have a lot of it....People who do not have much money or who are poor are just as important as people who have a lot of money...Our lord thinks that every person on the planet is of importance to him when they follow him and love him...because he loves them!

Our society is obsessed with money and material things all over the world and that's just silly!...Who cares if you have lots of money or no money!!! all that matters is that you do the right thing with your life, love and care for your family members/friends, and that you are a wonderful person!

I know that a lot of people in our country are very poor as they are in areas all over the world..Something that I saw on tv was that there are many American Indians in our country who live on reservations who are in poverty and have no jobs or even a way to take care of their families..without jobs there is a lot of depression and sadness...because they have no way to live!

on reservations they don't have much at all...just a lot of poverty and sadness....for many generations that's how things have been for them and it continues...I know that they want to work and take care of themselves and their families...

Some of my indian friends from my hometown know that goes on, and they have talked to me about that before....I've always thought about that...I don't know, I just wish they all had jobs and a way to make a better life for them....

being without much money doesn't mean you are not important....Whenever people wish and hope for wonderful things and want to do the right thing and make a good difference in the world, that's beautiful!!!

icy cold...

It has been very icy cold outside!

I have been wearing my good winter coat, mittens, sweater, jeans and my cowboy boots...

I was able to manage to get to town yesterday and I bought a few items I needed at a store.

Then I finally got to go to the Dollar Tree!!!..yay!...I like to go in that store and look around..I found a few packages of gummy bears and 2 kitchen towels that I needed..Mine are all worn and have some tears on them....

I like to purchase and look at all kinds of things in there and that way it doesn't cost me as much as another store would.

I don't mind if i purchase items in that store....I think it's fun to go in there to shop and look!

my computer has been having problems.....it had green and black stripes across the screen this morning and I couldn't see the homepage...weird...so I shut it off and it restarted, then it was normal...who knows?....these crazy computers....

so if I am not online, it's having some technical issues....

i like christian music....

One of my favorite radio stations to listen to is a station that plays in my vehicle called K-LOVE..It is a contemporary Christian radio station and it has all kinds of inspirational uptempo songs they play there....This is a great radio station!

I like to listen to this radio station because it reminds me daily that Our Lord is always with everyone...and Jesus Christ is as well...

This is a song I like very much that they have played on the station.

laundry...

One thing that I like to try and work on everyday is keeping my clothes, towels, and other linens clean by washing them...

You can wash them in the washing machine...that's what I like to do...but I have had to wash them at the town laundry before and wait for them to finish washing when my washing machine stopped working....

Clothes and towels are something that I always want to keep clean at all times so I try and purchase a nice smelling laundry detergent and use it along with a fabric softener that smells nice also...I place them into the washing machine pour in a half-cap full of laundry detergent and a small amount of softener and close the lid!!!...

After those types of things get finished washing, I place them into the dryer and that takes quite a while with the drying, so I just wait on that to finish and I read or work a word search book.....

I immediately put the clothes on hangers that are plastic...that way when they are on a hanger they don't get wrinkled or fall onto the ground and get dirt on them....I also always fold my towels nicely and then I will place them in a drawer so they are neat and nice and they won't fall either...

any kind of laundry detergent or fabric softener is wonderful to use..as long as you are washing and drying your clothes, towels and all linens weekly....keep them clean!

I actually enjoy washing and drying laundry...I like to always keep all things washed and cleaned weekly and clothing and towels are something that always need to be kept clean...along with curtains in your home and bedding...That also keeps bacteria away and is healthier for you.

I also change the bed sheets weekly and wash them...and blankets....

I like all things to smell nice, not stinky!!!.. Shoo-wee! *holding my nose* ...haha!

laughing and being silly....

Laughing and being silly are two of my favorite things...I think humor is something that keeps your life and your mind calm....Whenever I have been through tough times I always try to remember that bad things will go away and there will be better days...

When I think about being silly, laughing at people's jokes or buying silly gifts for others to make them laugh..i know one thing...somebody has hopefully smiled at something or laughed at something...and I think that is great!

One thing I really like is buying some kind of inexpensive silly gift and making others giggle and laugh when they are given the gifts...It can be all kinds of silly joke gifts....I don't like to be serious all the time!...you need to laugh at least once a day I think.

I like to be near people who make me laugh all the time..i always have liked to laugh or giggle at something someone will say or a joke they will tell me...When people are with me somewhere, I want to be with at least someone who will make me laugh all the time...Funny people are some of my favorite people!

I like to purchase silly gifts for others and it makes me laugh when I watch their reaction to the gift they are looking at!...haha!

life is wonderful with laughter.

be kind and helpful....

I was at a store the other day and a man held the door open for me when I was on my way out the door carrying my purchases and I thought that was very nice to do that for me...I have always liked that and it's very helpful to hold the door open for people when they are trying to go out the store and have purchases from the store in their hands....

I always tell men and women "Thank you" when they hold the door open for me to leave a store or a building...I think that is very nice and gentlemanly when men hold doors to buildings open like that for women when they are leaving....

Being kind is something that people should always try to achieve in life..I think that when you are kind people learn from that and will start to be kind to others and that's what everyone in the world should be like!

when people are having difficulties or problems with machinery stopping, problems with things outside going wrong or being heavy, or when things fall onto the floor and are a mess I like to always help others pick the items up off the floor, when people are lost, upset, or in danger and need help you can help them...

or when people like me need help finding cookies at a store you can say: "The cookies are over there Julie!".....Haha!!! Haha!!!  

There are many different ways to be kind and helpful to others all the time....you just need to know that when others are having difficulties you need to help them....

i like flowers....

Everything is froze this morning outside...The trees all look like they are made of nothing but icicles..Icicles are all over the trees...pretty! thankfully NO electricity problems....

Yesterday I saw some blue roses in a flower catalog..I think blue roses are very beautiful!...I don't know how they make blue roses but I think they may have a plant gene replacement or cross pollination?....

I'm sure roses have undergone a lot of genetic modification to make blue roses...I also think peace roses are very beautiful...any flower that has Peace in it's name is a great flower to me!

some roses I'm sure have been painted or colored blue but I think a true blue genetic rose is wonderful.

blue is my favorite color along with turquoise and green....I like the color blue so much, that when I see the roses in the catalog I keep looking at them and studying them...I'm fascinated by them and how pretty they are!

I like all flowers..I don't think there is one flower in that catalog that I don't like...haha! I could just imagine myself getting every single flower seed packet in that catalog and trying to plant them!...It would take a whole year to plant every single one!

Then a mouse would probably stop by the flower garden and steal every single flower seed!...Haha!...it has happened before....

hello 2015 !!!......

It's a new year and a new beginning for everyone I like to say....

You can start all over on your personality, your life, your outlook on things...I like to have a good outlook on life and every new year I start out thinking good things for the new year and how I can better my year....

you have to think things will be much better each year and despite your current problems or troubles you need to try and think happier...I like to think that when I think good thoughts and I want and try to do the right thing for the future, things will get much better...

the freezing rain and very icy weather has frozen everything outside into a solid...

my pet's water dish and my calf water pail is a block of frozen water..I have to get another one for more water...

it's very easy to fall onto the ground and hurt yourself, so a person should always be very careful when walking outside onto frozen ground...

I dropped Goofball's (my dog) food bowl onto the ground yesterday and the ground is so frozen solid that when I dropped the bowl it hit the ground and made a loud sound I have never heard before Clank, Clank, Clank!!! I could have broken the feed bowl!

I'm going to paint some today on canvas.I don't know of what I will paint...I really like to purchase painting supplies from a company called US Art Supply and other stores nearby anywhere I can find painting supplies!...it doesn't matter where you purchase the painting supplies from, as long as you are painting and being creative...

I like to paint all kinds of pictures on canvas and place them in a box after they dry and I leave them there...I just paint for my creative self!!!..I think painting is good for your mind and your heart it helps you take your feelings and place them onto a canvas...I really have always liked to paint and draw...I like all the colors of paints...I like to look at them.

freezing rain....staying in the house....just paint something!....haha!
