"Live In The Moment"

Happy Wednesday everyone.  It is the middle of the week and I know you are busy with a lot of things on the job or around the house.  Christmas decorations are going up if you didn't get that chance last Friday.  The year is almost over and there are still things to finish before saying goodbye to 2019. 
But today is Wednesday, December 4, 2019.  Let's just "live in the moment".  We don't know what the next day will bring or the next minute...let's live in this moment.
What will happen if you just cut off your phone, iPad, TV or computer for just fifteen minutes?  Do you think the world will pass you by and you would miss something?  Try this little activity for fifteen minutes or maybe five if you can't go that long.  Shut off everything and focus on the moment.
If you're near a window, notice the environment and enjoy nature while shutting out everything else. 
Living for the moment and taking notice of the small things will help you cultivate more positive experiences.  Now, smile!!!  Yes, you can do it.  This may make you feel better and your day will have a happy ending.

 Stamperia Old Lace DP was used along with Nuvo Gloss white crystal drops.  "LOVE" is the sentiment...which puts me one card ready for Valentine's Day.

 49 & Market Cottage Life DP was used to make this card.  There is so much going on...I felt the need to send a hug to someone.

49 & Market DP was used to make this card also.  It was designed by using a sketch from Splitcoaststampers SC778.  I wanted to label this one "Special Delivery" but the stamp was too big for space that went with the sketch.  Therefore, I used the sentiment from the paper collection.

Thanks for viewing with me today.  Come and enjoy yourself again.

Sending you a hug and love

"A NOTE Card With Nice Things To Say"

Hello beautiful people on this Monday, October 15, 2018.  I hope you had an enjoyable, wonderful weekend.  For those in Richmond, VA, how was the Folk Festival.  We thought about coming and then changed our schedule to do something else.  Hopefully, next year.
I didn't shop this weekend except for groceries.  Guess what?  I wasn't in the mood for clothing or craft supplies so I shopped for food items.  What's up with that?
Question for today:  How many nice things can you say to a person?

• A lady offered me the opportunity to get in front of her at the grocery store on Saturday...my response...no thanks but thank you for the suggestion...take your time, I'm in no rush.
• When asked if I knew a certain person...my response...Oh, yes,  she has the greatest smile and always has something nice to say about everyone.
• When my husband helped an elderly lady with getting something off the shelf...my response...I liked what you just did.  I hope I receive the same service from someone younger when I get older.
• Someone is having a hard time doing something that will make themselves better and keep saying awful things about themselves...my response...you may think that way but I find you to be very intelligent and that statement you made about yourself is just not true.
• When my grandchild talks to me on the telephone...my response...I love hearing your voice.  You are so calm and complimentary.  You've had a great day and want someone else to feel the same way don't you?
• You call my house once a year and I didn't pick up the phone.  You attack my character because I didn't call you back...my response...I'm sorry I wasn't there when you called.  I do take time out to leave home as often as I feel the need.  Calling me once a year doesn't prompt the need for me to rush to call you back.  You prefer "drama", I don't.

We don't always have to bring a person's character down by saying negative things about them and to them.  I feel that some people who consider themselves intelligent to do the following... put more effort into thinking before engaging your mouth.

When there is no special occasion to celebrate but you want to send a message, use a "NOTE" card .

I've made one for today's view.
