The Dividing Line

On this New Years Eve, I am taking a virtual page from others in blog land and would like to thank all of you who have taken time out of your day to read this blog. I would like to give an extra thanks and virtual {{hug}} to those who left comments. It is nice to have feedback. To know what you said has been heard, that you are not just sending words out to float along in space.

2007 was hard. It was a year that kicked my butt and I don’t know about the rest of you but I would like a soft and welcoming 2008. My hope for myself and my family is the hope I have for everyone this year: Peace of mind, Good Health, Bliss in the smallest of moments, Love from all directions and Prosperity, whatever it takes to get you through plus a little extra to help you shine!!

Wake up every morning starting tomorrow and KNOW that you are the designer of the day and can make it however you WANT IT TO BE.

Peace be with you on your journey in this new and inviting New Year.

Dec. 26–Official Ear Candling Day

My sister and I were noticing that the day after Christmas begins Kwanza and is Boxing Day and so we thought we would make it our own kinda day.

So, I give you the first official Ear Candling Day (here after to be celebrated on Dec. 26th). She only brought candles enough for one so she was the one that got candled (I lit her up and did the trimming– you should probably share this day with someone you love or someone you trust, eh?). Anyway, in her defense, we only thought of Ear Candling Day as we got started otherwise she would have had candles for everyone!!

Next year I foresee candles in all the stockings, my husband will be looking forward to that, no doubt.

Have a great weekend! (have you been thinking about the new year and how you would like to live it? I have and I will share more on that later.)

Peace~ Dawn

Wii–Weeeeeeeee

This was the big gift of the Christmas ‘07 season. The family got a Wii.

Warning: anyone over the age of 20 and unaccustomed to physical activity, please stretch before attempting. I pulled a butt muscle playing baseball. I did. Swear. As you play the games you find yourself really getting into it and taking the stance and swinging and throwing as if you actually have a bat or ball in your hand. Crazy but fun.

Lots of food and fun yesterday. We watched Pirates 3 and Stardust (love love love that movie) and played lots of Wii.

Hope you all had a nice holiday. If you have a few more days off enjoy those, too.

A Festivus for the Rest-a-vus

     Happy Festivus, everyone!! 

I am Sick AND I am Grateful

Well, let me expand upon that thought for a moment. . . I’m not grateful for being sick, I’m just grateful AND sick at the same time.  The sick part is nothing to write about.  It’s a yucky head cold, blah blah blah but the grateful part came from GroggyFroggy’s website:

This is so funny!  Apparently you CANNOT do the dance without smiling and at some point, if you do it long enough, you begin to make “yeehaw” noises and such.

I vote that at some point during the holiday season, when you have tons of friends and or family about, that you suddenly jump up and shout, “everyone do the Gratitude Dance!” and then you and everyone else DO IT.  Perhaps you should practice it alone for a few days in advance so as to get the awkwardness out and then you can be a role model to those that will balk at the idea.  Guarenteed tons of fun to follow.

So, prepare yourself, my family, because at some point on  Christmas Day— there will be Gratitude Dancing.  Oh, yes there will.
