Just a little humor…..

Sometimes you just need to laugh.

Any Survivor fans out there?

I am so sad that Joe got the boot on Survivor. I am not sure I even want to watch it now. I have not watched the next episode without him yet. I actually went back to the previous Survivor Season 30 and am watching that one. That was the first one with Joe. Ok, maybe I have a silly tv crush, but can you blame me? He is a very nice person too, not just a long tall drink of water, as they used to say. Ha
His fb page says he is a jewelry designer! Would love to see it and offer some assistance if needed :)

Trying to find the bright side

Looking for joy on a daily basis is sometimes hard. Who am I kidding? It is difficult a lot of the time. Getting outside helps me. Going for a walk and listening to the birds, petting friends dogs who are being walked, and looking up into the sky helps me. Sometimes.

I pray. I pray a lot. What is the world coming to, Lord? What is happening? What are we to do? Sometimes I am just overcome with all the cruelty and evil in the world. As much as I want to look on the bright side, sometimes I have trouble doing so. So I just take it one day at a time and hope and pray that tomorrow is better. What helps you?

Trip to the vets here in Panama...

Isn't this just the cutest little dog??!! The vets office was filled with dogs and their owners, and I got a chance to practice my spanish. I just couldn't resist this little girl, her owner told me she is only 4 months, and so well-behaved. 

High praise from a fan!!!

This is an EAGLE. So majestic!

This is the Harpy Eagle and it is the national bird of Panama. At first it looked rather strange to me, because it was so different, but now I see its beauty and uniqueness. It has such a beautiful face don't you think?

A few favorite pics taken by me in 'My Life in Panama'

This is a ladder. Here, if you don't have it, these folks know how to make it. No waiting to go to the store and spend your good money on a bright shiny new one. :)

No photo shop used. This Beetle was STUNNING in its magnificence.

a little truism

I love this picture and think the words are important as well, so I thought I would share it with you. Another quote that I have seen around that I really like goes something like this: "Be kind to people, for some have it harder than you know". Thats not the exact quote, but you get the idea.

Giveaway-don't miss out!

My friend Amy, over at www.amy-newnostalgia.blogspot.com/ is featuring my lovely new bracelet as a Giveaway this week. So don't miss out and go to her blog link above and enter.

I am so happy to have found Amy's blog because whenever I go there, I just feel good. She has delicious recipes, and many good things you just need to know about!
