6155
Thursday, August 29, 2024
Since 2006, I have posted 6155 blogs. With this one, 6156. I started using Typepad for my blogs because I followed them during the Natalee Holloway case.
May 26, 2006, my first blog...
"Today is a wonderful day! I watched the Plainview High School graduation on TV tonight. Looks like folks were hot. I enjoyed so much seeing "my" HC-JR-LC members graduate! They are such wonderful kids!!! We do have some great kids in Plainview! Speaking of great kids...Brant Wall graduated tonight, too! Woo-hoo Brant! I love that kid!!!
Zoey Belle is here visiting today & tonight. I love my little grand-dog! Chrissa & B are here for Brandon's great-grandmother's funeral.
Today has been a day of just kicking back. I mowed & edged the yard, but other than that, I just did what I wanted to do!
My new business, Arissa Designs, is doing well. I got my first order for personalized notes. They are so cute! Does anyone need a nice little gift? Give me a call. I also do creative social and business stationery, invitations, etc.
Well, this is a crazy world with some crazy people in it. Maybe if we took the focus off ourselves and put our labor into helping others, then the world would grow into a more compassionate one! At the very least, it would make us feel a sense of accomplishment!"
Time has flown. So much in life has changed. I read this quote today. I find it true. "Getting old is like climbing a mountain; you get a little out of breath, but the view is much better!" Ingrid Bergman
I may have 6155 blog posts, but I bet I have triple that in photos. I often wonder why I do what I do. I think I do it because when I see something beautiful, even with an aged or broken look, I figure that if I see beauty in it, others might, too.
I look at my photos and then at the photos on my Google device, and I am reminded that I know nothing about photography. What I do know something about is bringing a bit of God's beauty to others. God blesses me, and I want to bless others with a moment of joy. I think if I didn't know that God uses me to do this, I would stop. He says to keep going. I will as I climb this mountain of life that I am so blessed with.
