MONDAY MONDAY

A rousing game of chess for these felines and their canine friend. I wonder who won? Stop by Sandee's and visit all the fun shares.

I hope you will visit Annie and share some kindness today. A true statement here. Faithful furry friends/

Maybe you will enjoy the blues with Blue Monday. I think Spring may truly be in the air. We saw our Colorado Rockies get beat by the Atlanta Braves at home today. we were happy the air was nice, except for some wind. When baseball season is here I hardly think about much else.

Most everyone here knows why I love baseball. Having endured another year withiut my dad, this past week, I feel happy and sad when I visit the ballpark. He would have loved knowing Colorado had a major league team. I love baseball, because everything I know about it, I learned from him. Watching those Brave's hit today, I noticed they have that "old school" approach to hitting. Keeping your eye on the ball is what it is all about. A handful of our Rockie players have that same approach. Often fans see a player having a great season and they automatically assume they will go to bat and hit homer after homer, I think it gets into the head of some of these guys and they lose their real focus. "Keep your eye on the ball". Here is some good advice from an old school classic and first rate gentleman:

Ah....Joltin Joe, the Yankee slugger. Not a lot of classy guys like him in the major league today. It's all about the money. Joe played with heart and grace and dignity. He felt he owed his very best to the fans, everytime he played the game/

Even athletes can be encouraged by the word of God/

Love is...always has the perfect reminder for me. The middle one, sweet, because marriage is all about giving and taking. It's called balance. Three is better than one.

Maxine has an opinion on everything, even ball players and recliners. You were blessed with two for one today with Maxine.

I almost forgot about Grumpy Cat. Aw...c'mon feline in a funk, Monday's aren't always so bad. Enjoy your week everyone and thank you for stopping by.

MONDAYS

Snoopy and I will get along beautifully today. Going to bed too late, snow coming around way too early for me and other life chaos. Stop by Sandee's and say Aw....Mondays.

Blue Monday means blue skies. Who knows what our skies will look like tomorrow? We just pray. we will wake up and see the snow going away. This was a pinterest fine.

I miss my sister. She was so very beautiful. Those long legs and that smile! She was an incredibly kind human being. My goodness, the world is lacking in kindness today. I can never recall a time when my sister Pat was mean, hateful or rude. She had a beautiful heart. When I was young, my grandmother would always say, "God takes the good ones".  She always said the rest were left to learn lessons. My sister was struck down by cancer in the prime of her life. I guess my grandmother really was telling me a truthful thing- only the good die young. Makes me sad not to pick up the phone and talk to my big sister, but I would not wish her back into this world filled with so much uncertainty and so much unkindness. She deserves nothing but goodness as she lived a very exemplary life. Heaven is so much better because she is there.

Snoopy and Scripture, they both give me so much  that I need. Snoopy can always bring a smile, he was just such a silly cartoon dog but smart and funny and always able to bring smiles. This is a good scripture to remember especially when times are tough.

Love is....makes me smile even with snow in the forecast! I love my electric blanket in the winter but my hubby is a great warming device. While I am freezing sometimes, he is perfectly warm and easy to stay close to.

Maxine I sure feel like this lately. Too much negativity in the world particularly at social media. What makes me sad is the fact that I enjoy talking privately loved one far away yet I cannot stand all the negative talk. I've said it before:
