Memorial Day Monday

FOR TODAY (Monday, May 25, 2009 - Memorial Day)...

Outside my window...it is a beautiful, sunny spring day ! I can see the happy petunias in the clay pot I planted them in on my back deck.

I am thinking...about family and friends, and how much I love them.

I am thankful for...everything I have and everything I am in this moment. In this moment, it is all okay and all good.

From the kitchen...a bowl of Cheerios and one percent milk - do you know it can help you lower your cholesterol in just 6 weeks ?

I am wearing...my red nightgown, my green El Naturalista clogs and my glasses. That's the exact same thing I was wear last Monday morning when I was doing my post ! I have worn many other things in between, though - I promise ! ;)

I am creating... pages in my art journal that make me feel like a "real" artist.

I am going...to a nearby lake with David and the Chica Dog for some doggy swimming fun. Too cold for us, but perfect for a tennis ball crazy Yellow Lab !

I am reading... Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman still... just not into reading right now, but I do miss it. Maybe we can spend some of our Memorial Day Monday reading out on the back deck...

I am hoping...that the test results for someone I love turn out to be okay.

I am hearing...the dryer spin - the sweet hubby started the laundry early today.

Around the house...the dust bunnies have moved on - we sent them to the dust bunny farm where they can roll around free...really, we did. ;)

One of my favorite things...the Tzatziki (Greek cucumber/yogurt dip) that I found at the local farmer's market - yummy on everything, fresh and cheap ! Okay, on everything meat, veg or pita bread everything.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Lunch on the back deck with my friend Lois later this week - I love spring time !!!!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...

Happy Memorial Day ! And a huge thank you to all

the men and women who give up so much to keep us safe.
