I can’t help but smile and think
As I look at your sweet face while you nap
How lucky I am to know you little one
I could snuggle forever with you in my lap
Snuggling With You

Sunday Pause (Paws): Birds & Nature Pulling It All Together
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back and relax.
I‘m working on pulling together a few of the rooms in our new place. The pics in the collage are some of the main items and color scheme I am going with for a bedroom. It’s funny because I’m thinking when it’s all done it might be my favorite room and it started off my least favorite.
I love the beauty of nature and the beautiful beings that live in it. I’m enjoying the bird decorative items and they inspired this poem. Continue reading

Sunday Pause (Paws): Into The New Year
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back and relax!
Here we are into the New Year. We had a mellow New Year’s Eve and just snuggled on the couch. New Year’s Day we went to see the movie “A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood.” What a great example Mr. Rogers was for all of us. He really tuned in and listened to others, validated feelings, saw that everyone matters, and was very kind. His kindness extended to non-humans as well. He was a vegetarian who said he could never eat something that was walking around or that has a mother. This movie was an encouraging way to start off the New Year!
When Cino and I were talking resolutions this is the look I got.

Sunday Pause (Paws): That Sweet Face
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back and relax. I don’t know what the weather is like where you are but here it has been a weekend to stay in. We’re having rain/snow mix and it is making for some very icy road conditions. On weekends like this I truly can take some time to kick back and relax.
I hope all of you who celebrate enjoyed Christmas and the gatherings. At my family gathering I was asked how things were going with my blogging. My response was “good but I haven’t been writing very meaty posts lately.” I miss sitting down and pouring my heart into a post and I will get back to that. Sometimes life just takes you in other directions for a while.
My meaty posts usually come from an experience of some sort. Not too long ago when I was driving on a highway I passed a truck full of cows. My heart instantly became heavy and I had tears streaming down my face. I wondered if I was the only one on that highway who notices and feels sad for them. Or if everyone sees such a thing as “normal.” In this world it may be looked at as “normal” but the God I know didn’t have that planned for his creation. So in my awareness I have to ask myself do I sit back and just act “normal” and go along with the crowd or do I speak up and educate others? I choose the latter. So you see it is experiences that touch my heart & soul that bring about those meaty posts and I hope this last paragraph was somewhat that.
That experience of seeing the cows (and the adorable picture of Cino) made me think of a poem I wrote a while ago and thought it would fit very well in today’s post. I changed it a little bit and have recorded myself reading it. But boy did I have a lot of trouble making this video. I worked on it for a long, long time, late into the night. It seems to be a software problem. Hopefully I will figure it out eventually for future videos or just go with another route of recording. But for now this is the best I can do. It is a recording with my phone. The poem is also typed out on this post if you want to follow along or just read it.

Sunday Pause (Paws): Festive Bow Tie
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back and relax.
Today I wrote a little poem and added pics/images of Cino in her bow tie to accompany it. 🙂
We’re in that time of year
When everyone is filled with cheer
Dressing up with a festive bow tie
Singing “Angels We Have Heard On High”
Posing for pics looking our best
Hoping others are impressed

Sunday Pause (Paws): Just A Cute Image
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back and relax.
My mind was blank, I had nothing
What to write, I just didn’t know
So all I have for you in this post
Is Cino playing out in the snow
Just like my little poem said Continue reading

Sunday Pause (Paws): A Tale Of Caution
It’s Sunday! Time to kick back and relax.
The weather is changing where I live. Winter is here! I am really nervous about driving in it. I am used to driving only blocks to get to work and most other places. Now that we have moved I have a commute. Because of the weather and traffic I decided to get snow tires for the first time ever. I am hoping that will make a difference. The season has barely begun and there has already been treacherous driving conditions and many accidents. It made for an idea for a post today so I have a little rhyme for you. I hope you enjoy!
A WORD OF CAUTION
The alarm clock rings
The birds outside sing
You jump out of bed
Need to get everyone fed
No time to make a meal
Jump in car hands on wheel
McDonalds is on the way
Gotta get on with the day
Let me give you a word of caution
Things happen when you’re not careful & watching
And the crew is not ready for the disorder
From this kind of drive through food order
