Just some thoughts...

Taking it all in...

Hobbies are pretty good to get into. I have been enjoying taking time to enjoy nature and my camera! I have to say, I am seeing the world in a different sense and I am enjoying it.


This one is my favorite one. Walking along the beach, there is an empty lot where a storm ruined a house... In this rubbish, in the middle of the rubble was this perfect flower just growing there for me to adore. And so I did! Hence the picture!!!



Another beautiful one. From a neighbors yard!



This one looks like a snow leaf- to me! It caught my eye and I thought I would share...
Until next time...!

In the weeee hours...

It is 3am, typically considered to be the weee hours and I am wide away (wellllll, I wouldn't say wide awake.).. but anyhooo, I was reading a colleagues blog about early childhood and she had a quote at the end that read "Life is a progress not a station."..... this got me to thinking. I began thinking back over my life and I decided that my entire life as been a constant progress. I thank God for the good times and the not so great times. I thank you Father that our lives have been a constant progression and not at a screeching halt or a downward spiral. AMEN!

One Giant Step OR one small leap...

Sooo, I wrote previously that I was intrested in a few creative hobbies that I wanted to partake of...
Sooo,I am working on those hobbies! Just an update!

Unofficial Findings!

I was looking through some old photos and I came across these...



When I stumbled upon them:
They were inspiring,
Thought provoking,
and all one of a kinds...





While speaking volumes, They spoke for themselves
And they encouraged me to speak for myself!



And others were just adorable!

Things that interest me...

I follow a few captivating blogs that I have stumbled across during my blogging moments. They have inspired me, generated new creativity and stirred up some things that I knew I had but thought I lost along the way.

Here is a list of things that I am interested in: (some new, some old)
* Photography
* Quilting
* Knitting
* Journalism

Soooo...What to do with this list?

I truly don't know. My spare time is more limited due to Teaching... I have always been a teacher but for the past 4 years I stepped down and moved to an assistant teacher position to buy my home and to make a few other dreams come true. I sacrificed other things and it paid off. Some things were lost, other things found but these encounters all have made me the down-to-earth, silly, professional, uptight but fun, aspiring, thoughtful, loving, understanding, God loving and fearing individual that I am today.

But back to the question, what to do with the list???

Again, I have no idea! I can just jump head-first into one of these activities or I could NOT!! One of the hardest things (I think) is to make changes to your or my life seamlessly! I don't think any changes are made seamlessly. So I think I should just grab my camera and hit the streets or grab my pen and hit the paper or grab a needle and start TRYING to quilt or knit.

It only takes an idea, a gutsy move and a conscious set of actions over time to encompass a new hobby. To tell the truth, currently, I have no hobbies! So I am setting out to enjoy the partaking of a hobby. I will keep you posted!

Oh no she didn't!

Oh YES I DID!!! I did it. I said I would and now I have. I created a new blog. I will devote my time to blogging in both blogs for my followers. Lets start with what brought this on...

My first blog http://reignbowrunnin.blogspot.com/ was for specific reasons, to share with who ever would read my journey to success. I found myself with more to say about different things and I didn't want to crowd that blog with too much clutter about other things so here I am!
