Finding My Way

I can't think of a better place to start than by joining Mrs. 4444's for a bit of fragmenting, so here goes.

A short while back an associate of mine wrote these words as his Facebook status and it was almost as if he were looking into my heart. His words express exactly how I feel. 

"Sooo ... I am so fortunate and grateful for all the fine folks I get to call "friends & family" and for all the comforts and necessities I am able to enjoy on a day-to-day basis. I think about those folks and animals who have nothing or no one, and it hurts me to the core. I have always tried my best to help out, and to make others lives a little better. Been absorbed the last few years with my own deep losses, and feel the need to shift much more time and effort into the joy of others again. It is where and when I feel at my best. It is what I KNOW is right" ~~ J. Reese

Although I know what I need to do, I have found that finding my way back is not an easy endeavor. But it is one I fully intend to achieve.

Now that the weather is a bit nicer I have been trying to get out and enjoy the sun when it graces us with it's warmth. Last week I even convinced Lexi (formerly known as Mrs G) to gather the kids and take a little stroll at the outdoor campus. We had a very good time.

We even got to see a bit of wild life,

although not as much as I had hoped.

 

The critters did seem to be enjoying the warmth of the afternoon.

Overall it was a very nice outing.

I have been watching way too much TV as of late. I ran out of episodes of the Voice to watch, so I started watching The Voice UK, AU and Ireland. ( hmmm, maybe I am obsessed with the voice) I have decided though that I don't care much for The Voice UK, but I really do like the voice Ireland and Australia. Do you watch The Voice? Have you watched the ones from other countries and if so which ones do you like?


 

So there it is my simple fragments. 

I do wish all a very good weekend!

Five Little Frags Fritted Franticly For Freedom

Luckily my little frags know just where to find their freedom, yep over at Mrs. 4444's Friday Fragments. If you need a home for your wayward blog fragments stop on by, the more the merrier!

Thank you Mother Nature!

The weather is nice and I am running away for the weekend! Not sure that I will get a chance to see the Falls this trip but I will be spending some much needed time with family and friends. How about you, will you be traveling to visit friends and family for the upcoming holidays? 

One thing I have to admit about winter, it sure makes for some spectacular skies.

Skywatch Friday Submission

The strangest thing has happened. My grandson's cat is five years old and has been a very anti-social animal ever since they got him as a kitten. He has always been a very good guard kitty, sitting guard at the foot of my grandson's bed or in his doorway at night. But that was about the closest he would get to humans. Until recently. He has become more than social, sitting in laps, wanting to be petted and so on. Now he is down right needy! 

I don't watch a lot of TV, especially reality TV but I do have to say I am addicted to The Voice. This season has me in a quandary though. The final 10 are all so good I really have no clue who I want to win. Although I do have a very soft spot for this artist, especially after this performance of one of my favorite Bread songs. If you are watching this season do you have a favorite?

I have found a new book to add to my list of must haves. It is Photojournalist Scott Strazzante book Common Ground. I read a recent article  about the project in which Strazzante  documented the transformation of a family farm into a suburban track of homes, and how it had come to life. If you haven't heard about it check out the article that shares some of the photos and a little bit about the book.

Week In Review:

On Artistic Composition the week started off with a true story of how one man gave three homeless children The Gift Of Joy. Then on Wednesday I posted a simple wish that included where you can find this awesome planner.

On Nita's Photography the week focus was late Autumn fun in the park with children playing, workers working and of course some pretty flowers and a playful critter.

 Have A Fantastic Weekend!

Please drop a comment or quick hi and I will stop by and return the favor.
