Nicole and I went into Davids Bridal to look at Bridesmaid Dress and the colors they are available. Then, to my surprise...she said let's look at dresses. She found 3 that looked like possiblities, and now it is fate...the dress she loved, and looked so perfect on Nicole. This beautiful gown is the choice, in an ivory color. It is perfect, stunning, updated ball gown, with wonderful fabrics and details. Wow! I was there with her. I am thrilled!

Thanksgiving Blessings

November Musings

We have a cow who is going to have a calf anytime. I checked her when I fed her this morning and I thought that she might be in labor. It was 19 degrees. She is safe and sound in a box stall, not very happy....but I want that calf to have good conditions for birth. Thanksgiving is upon us...tomorrow! I will be packing up the fall decor and moving to Christmas. We have about 16" of snow, but the weather is going to warm up and melt it. Good!

Learning new things for my blog

Gosh! I just spent 1 1/2 hours attempting to redesign my blog. I used the cutest blogs on the block for a new design. I messed up so many times. I think that I finally got one that I like, and that works. Frustrated...yep.

To Choose

Yes, sometimes it may be easy to let go of restraint and make silly, or "bad" choices. Like food, it is so easy to let go and have whatever....a huge piece of cake for a meal. I believe that there are times to live like that. I haven't baked anything sweet in a long time....and really craved a piece of cake....so I let myself go and really enjoyed the special treat. I chose wisely to take care of myself and to love myself. I have had times in my life when I beat myself up over choices...it was truely terrible. I had depression to go along with it, not a good time. I have been receiving daily messages from the Brave Girls Club for about a year now. Those messages can be extremely mind opening. I have learned from my nearly 59 years, that I should be kind and gentle to myself. I am practicing this belief for a while now... and I find a peacefulness with it.

Be Kind and Gentle to Yourself.
