Life in Color!

Published on January 2, 2016December 13, 2017 by Dawn Marie17 Comments

As 2016 begins our family prepares for a full year of celebrations!

There will be bridal showers, baptisms, a daughter’s wedding, a golden birthday for me, and Cuppycake & I will celebrate 30 fun-filled years together.

And this is just in our immediate family of five! You cann0t imagine all the other hap-happiness that will be celebrated in our extended families as well!

Through all the party-planning to be done, surprisingly Cuppycake has become sentimental on me! It’s not uncommon, in the last several months, to receive an endearing photo instagrammed or emailed to me with a sweet or funny message.

I am loving his out-reaches to remind me just why & HOW we have thrived, (or is it survived??? Giggles.) happily together. And admittedly all of this has been great…until these types of photos started showing up!!

Yes, I know I am about to enter the golden years with him, while celebrating 30 wonder-filled years together but seriously…WE ARE NOT READY FOR MATCHING JERSEYS (yet!)

I mean we are still living life ‘in color’ not black & white!

Plus we still have a hop, skip, and a 36-inch box jump left in us!! (With of course a lot of giddy-up and go behind it…or a tidge of liquid courage.)

“What is all of this about??” I queeried.
“Well, we ARE grand-parents now.” he reminds me. “Growing older together has officially become inevitable.”

He’s got me there.

And so I do what I usually do. I follow his lead, I trust his wisdom, as head of our home, and I become sentimental along with him.

I just haven’t broken it to him yet that we’ll be doing ALL of what growing older together entails….

IN COLOR!!!!

hugs & color-filled blessings!

Laugh that you may love!

it’s the monday giggles….

THE BEST PART OF BEING IN LOVE IS WHEN YOU JUST LOVE A PERSON AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT,EVEN IF THAT PERSON CAN NEVER LOVE YOU BACK,EVEN IF YOU KNOW THAT IT CANT LAST FOREVER! THAT’S THE TRUE ESSENCE OF LOVE. IT’S NOT WINNING SOMEONE.IT’S NOT ABOUT OWNING A RELATIONSHIP.IT’S JUST ABOUT BEING HAPPY COZ U KNOW U’VE LOVED SOMEONE.IT’S ABOUT BEING GUILTLESS COZ U KNOW U DIDNT TAKE AWAY SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER THERE. NEVER TRULY REAL. U JUST CONTINUE TO LOVE AND LOVE UNSELFISHLY!
– thought from someone

I love this “thought from someone” and I’m so very gladly they shared this with me. The only additional hug I would add to these wonderful words would be:

Yes! Indeed!

Continue to love

and to love unselfishly!

And

don’t forget to

Giggle!

Turn those frowns upside down

because that’s not how God intended

you to live.

(Not to mention the Evil one cannot tolerate laughter…

he usually flees at the sound of it.)

Laugh through the difficulties so that love

may bloom again giggle-after-giggle.

Love always wins in the end!

hugs n’ blessings wrapped in giggles & love for you to share!

thanks-timber, it’s going down!

“Bippity-boppity-boo!

My thanks go out to you!

Your kind address,

of my blogging-mess,

brings happiness to my soul!”

And so begins my 3hugs&thankful blessings

to have received these additional Award recognitions

from three fellow bloggers!!

(I am blushing to have been recognized by each of you!)

When receiving an Award in cyber-world you are asked to do several things:

*Once you are nominated, make a post thanking and linking the person(s) who nominated you!
*Include the Award sticker in the post too and be sure to answer the questions from your nominator(s)!
*Nominate 5 -10 other bloggers who you feel are worthy of this award!
*Lastly, COPY these rules in the post.

Darling Anand at blabberwockying! who tickles my toes, with his expansive prose & ability to welcome everyone in. I thank him gleefully, for thinking of lil’ ol’ mee-a-lee, and accept this award quite cheerfully!

Sweet, Sweet Pam who is at catchingmydrift had not one but two surprise Awards for me! Well, twiddle my thumbs, I am certainly over-come, by her fuzzy-warm-support of thee!

Last but never least Oneta at sweetaroma conjured up a delightful treat! She sifted & spun, through various chosen-ones, and declared my blog-site REAL NEAT!

A sampling of their questions I choose to do, & to share with you too, as they asked me to do:

From Pam

1.What makes you smile? When I see my children happy.

2. What is your best talent? I am the Principal of Fun School!

3. Movies or Theatre? Movies.

From Oneta

What are 5 facts about you?

I am a devote Roman Catholic. I am a rule-follower. I am extremely loyal. I am afraid of very blustery wind-storms. My ability to be free from hate. I have never had this sense of emotion and I feel it is a great grace God has given to me. (This is not to be confused with anger…which is a feeling that if not addressed can lead to hatred.)

From Anand

What do you want people to remember most about you after meeting you for the first time? My warm welcome & sincere interest to listen as you speak.
What do you like most about yourself? My passion regarding who I love & what I believe to be true.
What song makes you sing along out loud and/or break into dance? There are three… When I’m With You by JJ Heller (my ring tone on the alarm clock,) Move by MercyMe and…promise not to judge me but…Timber! by Pit Bull (best dance song to date and you can dance too if you just click play!)
