FULLY, BRAVELY, BEAUTIFULLY

He said,  "One life on this earth is
all we get, whether it is enough or
not enough, and the obvious conclusion
would seem to be at the very least we
are fools if we do not live it as fully
and bravely and beautifully as we can."

~ Frederick Buechner

Officially spring doesn't begin until

next Friday, but here in the south it

has arrived early. I am trying not to

be bitter that I never saw the first snow

flake fall this year.  I have enjoyed having

all the windows open, although I am

not thrilled with the amount of pollen

that is coating everything, but it does

make the dust a nice pretty yellow. 

I'm not the only one who can't keep

up with the dust am I?

 

The South Carolina state flower,  Yellow

Jessamine, is blooming wildly all over,

decorating the tops of trees and bushes

making my walks quite pretty.

 

I had all of my labs done this week

[I have Graves Disease] and there has

been some adjusting to my medicines

which should help with my energy level.

It has taken me all week, but I am getting

use to the time change and am enjoying

getting in an extra walk after dinner.

 

I gave up drinking coffee two years, but

several times lately I have been hearing

about bulletproof coffee, have you tried

it?  I am wondering if it's really worth

all the hype and if I should give it a try?

 

I made gluten free cheese muffins and

they were actually edible.  I also tried

a new to me quinoa patty recipe that

was pretty good. I did add lots of fresh

chopped garlic and more broccoli to

the recipe, but then I really like broccoli

and garlic.

 

You know that there is always knitting

in my day and so far I am pleased with

how the baby blanket I am knitting is

coming along.  I hope to be done in

the next few days, especially since the

baby's due date has been moved up.

 

I hope you are living each day fully

and you have a weekend filled with

beauty and happiness.

 

Love,

Tracey
