a hard time

Wow!!! it's been so long!!  

Well, life has been getting back to normal after the time I was 
so much into getting better from last year, and now things
 are getting back to normal life 
and working with the many things I need to do...
 not being able to get started on my sawing and all!! 

 Hope to get back there soon!!  
One thing to keep me away from my writing is also the many 
things here I love to see...it is hard to not do all the time...
but it is also so many good things ...  

So here it is some of the things I have found everywhere
 and these ideas can help me create some of my own!










I like the ideas, colors, shapes...much to think about!

the wonderful sound!!

Today I was able to hear to a very beautiful and loving song by 
the Tabernacle Choir and Andrea Bocelli from youtube!!!  
As we hear to this wonderful song we can feel 
the power of God and His great love! 


There so many beautiful songs and hymns with great and up lifting songs! 
I just love to listen to them!
I hope it may be a blessing and  
a loving feeling to all who hears to these songs!

a new year at work!!

So we are almost getting at the end of the month!!  
a longer period and the new year moments! 
Lots of hope and planning for the year.  
Every year this is our hope and plan...the year we can do better! 
This feeling is something I have had ever since 
I can remember...always happy for the year past...
and all the things I was able to accomplish and happy 
with the new year hope and new things to come!

This time is a time for thinking and planning, 
and this year as I look back I feel something 
that I never felt or thought about before
...the knowledge that life goes fast and we get older!!
   Not because I feel older, but because my birthday
is getting to ages I never thought of!!

What I have now in mind is to be wise and work
to use my time the best and most use full !! 
because time is going by faster and things 
have changed and more changed than when I was young
...things didn't feel that had changed to much...
but these last 10 // 20 years all has changed!  

Things haven't changed in my way of thinking or doing, 
but around me and what has happened all over the world!!!   
I know now that things are faster everywhere and if we do not plan our time
and plans we will lose the time!  

The thing that really made a difference on my life are the good friends I had and have
...some so far...some very close...
and best thing I see know is how the new systems of contact and pictures
allows us to see and talk/write our friends and not feel as if we had lost them!!  
This is out makes me so happy today!!   



This is Summer Time
our beautiful flowers around our home!

so we are in the 2012!!!

This last couple of days were our new 2012 year!!  We had terrible rain on the 31/12 and on the 01/01/12...lots of rain... we stayed home and enjoyed being together happy for the new year coming and hopping for all the things we wish and would love to do!!  This is what makes the year special, the opportunity of planing and doing things..if not finished...replacing and improving in the next year!!

And this new year started already with new opportunities and chances of doing new things!!  A great thing is to be able to plan and do!

I have been busy, and not able to work on my fun things, sewing, making crafts and all else...so I have been here for a short time to see the beautiful people with their beautiful things...so many of wonderful and good things done!!  This makes it even a more difficult challenge...I love seeing what they do and all the beautiful blog places!!  Amazing, so thank you all for your wonderful things!!

This month I am going to try and work a plan where I can be here and do things, see the blogs, and do all the other things I need to do!! such a challenge... !!!

But wish you all a wonderful year, fool of opportunities and chances for all things...for all of us!!

only a few hours... and... 2012



 
Well...this is one moment of shots...lots of them...
we think of our year and how it was, 
things we did, things we didn't do,
the wonderful moments we lived,
the moments that were some hard challenges,
friends we made, the wonderful friends who moved away... 
and this is what happens every year...
and every new year is a new opportunity for all the many things...
good things...challenges... 
and this is the way of life!!!  
But ... how wonderful it is to live and learn,
and this is the happy thing of a new year...
we desire to make the difference and make it a wonderful time...
and this my desire to all, 
that we may all be able to achieve our goals,
and feel good about our works and efforts!!  

A Wonderful 2012 !!!

Happy New 2012!!













We are only 3 days off the new 2012!!  this month was a busy month  after not having to take the medication I had for 6 months and left me a little down... I had a total of 7-8 months getting normal... getting better after whatever made me sick and I had to stay for a month in the hospital.
Something infected me, they think it was meningitis !  Well I'm so fine now ... all fine!!  So this month, after so long not doing much, lots had to be done! 
Translation, continuing with the fixing of the house stopped ever since I was in the hospital, and of course all things for Christmas and friends at the ward party!!  all fun, but certainly not much time, and still much more to do!! 
But the great and wonderful thing is Christmas day feeling the special day it is, and how it is good to be with family and friends!  now comes New Years day, and this is one special feeling is the idea that things can be improved and made better, and even if we do go through some testing times we learn about it and grow up and become better. 
The thing I have learned the most is that we need to always be positive, work hard and make sure that we always have our special friend, the Lord, there with us!!  Such a blessing!! can't imagine life without this wonderful blessing!!  So it is a wish I have for all my friends, and pray for them, to have this same wonderful experience.  To have His companionship and love.  This is the one thing that makes life such a wonderful time even through hardships or else... Scriptures and prayers are the things that help us in good times and in bad times, we become stronger and humble, patient and loving, and we learn to understand that this time here is just a passe, we will son be back to our deal family return!!  It makes life a wonderful time!!

a wonderful experience!








Today I was reading about some special activities that some good people practice here in our country, but also all over the word as time is needed.  Here in Brasil this was an activity that has been happening for some years already and now with the new efforts to make it something other people can joying up to help those in need has made things in the news, facebook, and so many other ways to make it known and being there if desired!  Every time I see it my heart feels warm and hot!!  I have also worked in so many of the programs and it is always a blessing to me as well!!

If you would like to see it and learn about it, just look at this page...there are a lot of things done!

http://www.maosqueajudam.org.br/
There are so many articles on the different projects with the pictures of the places and what was done.  It is such a beautiful job done in some different things, families, children, babies, houses, street services, food, learning, and so many others when problems happen in the areas!  Very good things!

And this was a beautiful day, sunny, nice warm, and now the summer rain at the end of the day!  A wonderful day, and it has been fun to see everyone happy with the wonderful day to come!  So good to see people getting ready for this special time, the best of the year!
