Listy listy listies!

Anyone that knows me well knows that I'm a completely freaky list person... pretty much have been since I could write.  My family members will often come to me on busy days when we all have one common goal (but different tasks) and say in very enthusiastic voices (not really) "okay, gim'me my list".

 So, here's my list of everything I want to say (this blog has become like my journal-scrapbook) since I've hardly written anything the past several months:

 Maddy
The Great Brain series
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Joe
Lilacs
Ally's blankie
Tin foil dinners
Meteor showers
Connie Britton
Neighborhood Watch
Eric Dowdle
Parma Motor-Vu
My Austrian Pine
The month of July :-|
My security sheet
Natalie Grant
The Huntington Library and Gardens
Ally - scones - Mona Lisa - La Vie en rose - At Last
'Rule the World' by Take That
Grace Kelly's wardrobe and in particular the multi strand pearl bracelet with gold lockets featured in 'Rear Window'

In July I made a decision.....

Sort of gave myself an ultimatum. No longer was I going to hole-up.... Not because of my health, not because of my body,  not because of any other insecurities that  rob me of moments  truly worth living. And I haven't. And August was one of the best months in  my 49 years of life.   And though sunflowers have always been for me been one of God's greatest  creations, seeing a field of miles and miles of them in northern Michigan  this summer brought me back to the symbol they have always stood for to me  and this simple phrase of words "face the Son".... my new mantra.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Love languages

http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/ I've always known the love language my children speak.... since they were little. Rob took me a bit longer. I know my parents languages and lately I've been thinking much more about my siblings, Rob's siblings, and my dearest friends. It's taken years to figure out which one I am..... since it's been kind of a tie between three.... but recently, it finally happened.  And although it's one I'm not super pleased about, it is me.  It's what makes me feel secure and safe and loved.  And just because someone doesn't show me love in this certain way (because obviously we all have our own language), it doesn't mean I'm not going to have a connection with them.  It just means that in my deeply closest, most personal and intimately emotional relationships, this area is what does it for my heart.... and it's how my heart gives and shows it to others.
