Focus On Life 2013 Week 52 - Saying Goodbye


I won't be continuing this journey with Sally in 2014.  I need to focus on my job and where that is taking me this year.

I'm traveling to Switzerland to teach and I have to focus on preparations for that.  I've never been to Europe and I hope to spend an extra 2 weeks when I'm done teaching to do some more traveling.  As long as I'm there, why not?  I'll also be teaching in Oklahoma this spring so I'm going to be busy.

I also want to say this journey for 2013 has been fun.  My life hasn't been easy and I may seem sad and lost at times.  And I probably am.  But for the most part I try to portray myself as someone that has it all together. And I do, most of the time.  I've learned to embrace my solitude.  After all, it's been given to me so I may as well make the most of it, right?

With that said, I'm leaving you with these two photograph's I took today.  It was lovely, temps were in the low 30's and I wanted to go snowshoeing.  I enjoy going alone and today was a perfect example of why.  If someone had been with me I would not have taken the time to play in the snow and make spirals.  I wouldn't have taken the time to take over 50 photo's.  I would not have enjoyed the solitude of this grand winter day.

Carry on my friends, may 2014 be good to each of you.

Focus on Life Week 51: Togetherness

This is a tough one for me because as you all know, I'm flying solo here. And to be honest, I kept thinking we were doing red this week, lol, so I took pics of red. Again. Sheesh.....

It's hell to get old.

So I'll post an old one of me and Santa...



Happy Christmas everyone, and to those that don't celebrate, have a happy day.  Travel safe.

xoxo

Focus On Life Week 49 and 50

Greetings.  I've had problems logging in here for 2 weeks now! WTH??? blogger!!!

So I'm a week behind and I'm going to do 2 posts to get caught up.  First I'll start with last weeks, SPARKLE.  And boy, do I have sparkle.  :)

I was going through some boxes that I had not opened since I moved, more than 5 years ago now. And look what I found SPARKLE! 


































So many little jars of glass frit that were gifted to me a number of years ago, I'd completely forgotten abut them.  Now that is a lot of sparkle, lol.

This week we are doing red.  I have many red photo's to share. Thank god for cell phones, cuz I use mine ALL THE TIME, lol.





















I had a few more images that I wanted to show but they keep coming out upside down and for the life of me I can't get it to change.  la tee da....

I've got stuff to do so I'm outta here.  Have a great week!
