Are you familiar with the wonderful blog

Chickens in the Road

Here is Suzanne describing her life on the farm:

Welcome to my journey into the simple, often vanishing, life of rural America in the country outside one tiny town in the Appalachian foothills. I post daily on my website chronicling my photography, (sometimes silly, sometimes serious) stories, recipes, crafts, and sentimental thoughts on the history, people, life, and beauty of rural Appalachia. I'm a writer, teacher, photographer, and milk maid. My goal is to connect people with their food again--hands on, hands in, the old-fashioned way.

Diary of 5 week #5

This is my 5th entry for 
  a diary of 5
which was created to give your senses a gentle work-out.
To help you to become more aware of those little moments around you.

I am seeing...February on my Calendar :)

I am hearing... sounds of nature from my play list

I am smelling...my husbands Cologne lingering in the air after he kissed me good night:)

I tasted...Yummy ! pulled pork sandwiches

 I am feeling: Optimistic..as I prepare for filing taxes and further refine our budget ( since new information has become available)

Inspiration: Reason, Season, Lifetime

Reason, Season, or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Attitude of Gratitude

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past.
A healed memory is not a deleted memory.
Instead,
forgiving what we cannot forget
creates a new way to remember.
We change the memory of our past
into a hope for our future.
-- Lewis B. Smedes
