These were written for fun, but, honestly,
holiday travel can be a bit daunting,
even though we love road trips!
Hope you enjoy! 🙂
I. OBSERVATION
Driving or flying?
Benefit of tailgating?
Reckless road traveled
II. CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGES
More Innovation
Eco friendly progression
Helping Mother Earth
III. NIGHT ROLLING
Black sky surrounding
Red eyes watching us closely
Keeping our distance

It’s no surprise 365 days
have come and gone
in the blink of an eye
We wonder and ponder over time spent
and how it went so fast
Some days passed at a snail’s pace
but we seem to race the clock
on the good ‘ol days
If you believe in resolutions,
though, this is no substitution,
Let’s write a new creed…
Enjoy each day to its fullest
not thinking about tomorrow
Don’t borrow the future
Embrace the present
and repent, if you must
Learn to trust more often
Allow a new door to open
and relationships to deepen
Of course, this is a recurring creed,
yet, it fits for each year,
Don’t you agree?
So, let’s try again, My Friends,
with champagne, clinking glasses
and celebrations in the masses
No matter your new goal
Let the New Year roll in
with Smiles, Aspirations,
Hope and Inspiration~
Cheers and Happy New Year, Everyone!

Hello Everyone,
It’s time to say “farewell” for only a short time,
as the holiday festivities begin.
We are hosting, then visiting family out of town,
so computer time will be limited.
After the new year, I will do my best to play “catch up” with
posts and awards, but please have patience~ 🙂
So…here’s another Christmas, Holiday wish to each and every one of you.
May your holidays be filled with peace, love and joy!
I can’t say “farewell” without saying “thank you” for all your comments, likes and recognitions.
This poetry blog has become more than I ever thought it would be,
all because of you!
Warm wishes, hugs and a safe, Happy New Year
and I’ll see you in 2012!
Lauren
This took me by surprise, but I’m very appreciative of my nomination from two wonderful friends, Autumn & Gabby, http://autumnsunshineandgabrielleangel.wordpress.com/. Thank you both again! Your poetry and stories add magic to my life, create more smiles and laughter, even some tears, but it has been truly wonderful getting to know you two awesome twins!
As with most Blog Awards on WordPress there are stipulations that must be met upon acceptance of the coveted award. So, with the 7X7 Link Award the first thing you have to do is tell something about yourself that nobody knows. Hmmm…
This is something I really don’t think about anymore, since I’m well over toddler’s age 🙂 but, I do have a vertical scar on my forehead, about an inch long. It appeared after cracking my forehead open when I was around 2 years old, after running right into the corner of two walls! Ouch! Who knows what I was thinking, other than obviously not watching where I was going, while running around, having fun. I don’t have any other memories (a good thing), but I pretty much have worn bangs all my life. I’m more comfortable with them and maybe, just maybe they cover the scar, a little. 🙂

Congratulations to all of you, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year!
May this holiday find you smiling
Enjoying priceless times with loved ones
Rejoicing in the birth of our Dear Savior
Realizing your blessings and finding peace
Yearning for the Holy birthday of the year
Caring for others who need their spirits lifted
Hosting family and friends in cozy get-togethers
Remembering, any act of kindness is truly a gift
Imagining the festive spirit throughout the New Year
Seeing the delight and wonder through a child’s eyes
Taking time and letting God’s loving light shine through you
Making magical moments that will turn into precious memories
Allowing yourself tranquility in the midst of the seasonal chaos
Silently saying a prayer for those who are in need of God’s healing grace

To begin with, I would like to thank
http://caddoveil.wordpress.com/, http://autumnsunshineandgabrielleangel.wordpress.com/ and
http://versenotprose.wordpress.com/
for nominating me!
Being nominated once is humbling enough,
but three times is beyond comprehension!
All I can say is I am truly thankful and grateful for this recognition and
for these three wonderful blogs I’ve had the privilege of reading
and the awesome bloggers I’ve had the privilege of getting to know!
Thank you, again!
The award requires me to a) tell you ten things you may not know about me and
to b) nominate six or more other bloggers.
Here we go…
1) I am finally able to pet other dogs without breaking down (our dog died last month).
2) I drive a gold Honda CRV and I love it!
3) I love the mountains and hope to live there someday.
4) Although, I’m also a country girl, so living on a ranch with many, many, many dogs and animals, is a dream.
5) I used to love watching Home Improvement with Tim Allen and was sorry it ended.
6) I never colored my hair until this year, after turning 50, but it’s highlighted and looks natural, which is what I wanted.
7) I am very emotional (tears of joy, sadness, anger, etc)…I have more water than the water company! 🙂
8) I didn’t finish college. 😦
9) I share the same dream with many of you, to publish a book of poetry.
10) When I was younger, singing was my passion.
And now here are my nominees, in no specific order:
http://everedwater.wordpress.com/
http://granbee.wordpress.com/about/
http://chicpress.wordpress.com/
http://thenaughtypoet.wordpress.com/
http://rajkishoremaity.wordpress.com/
This list is truly infinite, however, I do encourage you to visit these blogs…you’ll find lovely words, beautiful images, inspiration and a melody of emotions.
Congratulations to all the nominees and Merry Christmas!
Many merry shapes
Frosted and sprinkled with love
A way of giving

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I wish I could share with you all! 🙂
Magic fills the air tonight
Rudolph leads the way
They’ll land on the roof
in the big, glorious sleigh
Her excitement is charming
She’s bursting with glee
and making cookies for him,
helping her wonderful Mommy
The tree is all ready
It sparkles with beauty
He’ll be so happy to see it
It’ll be his favorite, definitely
She sets the cookie plate
where he surely won’t miss them
and she doesn’t forget the carrots
so the reindeer can have some
Now darkness arrives
She hears, “Off to bed you go”
Her heart feels so alive
with excitement, it’s all aglow
She falls asleep, one eye open
One ear perks up as she intently listens
but slumber prevails as her eyelids start drooping
She dreams of the stars and how they all glisten
In the morning, sunshine pushes through
She pops out of bed, joyfully wiggling,
Waking her parents up to tell them
She can’t stop from giggling
They enter the room; it’s so simply stunning
With surrounding gifts, their tree stands proud
She hugs mommy and daddy
And says “thank you” to Santa out loud
May we all share the Christmas magic of a child’s heart~
