oodles and oodles

Thirty-three Poodles were sharing a two-bedroom house with an elderly couple in Queens, New York. Animal rescuers reported that Poodles were “literally everywhere, scurrying under sofas, under beds, peeking out at us.”The Poodles were not being walked, did not go outside, so the conditions inside the home were as you might imagine.

NOTHING...EVERTHING

Nothing can be everything and everything can be nothing. Two words that in first thought mean complete opposite. But do they. I believe in theory they can mean the same. How many times I have witnessed that those who think they have everything.....really have nothing at all and those
that appear to have nothing......in their heart, soul and spirit, actually, have everything.

ESTATE SALE...

yesterday i was invited to browse a pre-estate sale. i saw alot of great items, but i just had to have these iron scroll headers, two iron crosses and this wrought iron basket great buy. ALL for $40.00.

I LOVE THIS ONE THE BEST...

CANDY CIGARETTE...BY SALLY MANN

GRATITUDE TIP

When you wake up in the morning, where does your mind go? If you immediately being to worry, you’re off to a bad start. Think of three things you're grateful for before even leaving the bed, and at the end of the day think of at least one thing that surprised or delighted you.

A THING...

I came across this photo, found it to be odd but interesting. will post owner when i find it.

CIHNESE NEW YEAR IN PARIS

...this was such a gorgeous photo. i had to share

A NEW DAY

lately, and what i mean by lately is the past couple of months, ive been a little lost. im trying to find my way back to eating healthy and working out. heres a tip from iGoogle ....
Keep fruits and vegetables within easy reach. Put a bowl of fruit on the counter in the kitchen. Make sure fruits and vegetables are clearly visible when you open the refrigerator. Cut up your favorite vegetables to store in recloseable plastic bags. If you see it, you may be more likely to eat it.

there will be good days and bad days
