Welcome to the second “What’s the Word? Wednesday” blog hop!
This week’s discussion is, well, anything. We’re all just getting to know each other around here so go ahead. Link up, share, post, and tell your friends to join the party!
Are there any blog posts you’re particularly proud of? Any get-to-know-you statements you’ve shouted? Spill it (the story, not the coffee!).
I’ll link up a few of my favorite posts from the past few months to give you a taste of my writing styles. I’ve been lucky enough to be featured a few times on BlogHer.com, so I … read the rest. . .

There are three of you I love like my own (well, one of you is). Each of you has enriched my life in ways you may never know. I’m blessed to be your mother, your friend, your partner in crime (or atleast, in writing about them).
I’m honored that you love me in return. That you share with me your families, your hopes, your dreams, your sorrows. We have goals. We have memories. We have fun. We work well together.
And there are times, oh so many times, that I pray for you. How I want to be a … read the rest. . .

*Insert blissful sigh here…*
Today (your Today, Tuesday; not my today, Monday)… Today I’m getting an early (seriously early) birthday gift. Last year I bought my daughter a mighty fine camera as she aspires to study art and photography. And, as you’ve occasionally witnessed, she has a mighty fine eye … read the rest. . .

One of my favorite Christmas movies is “White Christmas”. One of my favorite songs from that movie is “Count Your Blessings”. I also like the old Ray Conniff Singers version. It’s a good reminder to take a look around and see what you already have, and see that it’s good.
With the car repairs, the unemployment, and even just the busyness of the season, I sometimes forget to slow down and appreciate what I already have.
I’m thankful for songs such as these that remind me to open my eyes, pay attention.
We all have different things that we’re thankful … read the rest. . .

Today is Thanksgiving.
And while this is a little thing, it’s a big deal:
But two days ago I got two new tires on my car.
It happened, because we were planning on an hour-long drive to go visit my daughter’s friend in the hospital. And since I hadn’t had the air pressure checked for a while, I took the car to America’s Tire Co. They do air checks and rotations for free. And since I had $3.42 in my checkbook, “free” was really working for me.
Until they looked at my tires. Left front: treads worn down. Right front: … read the rest. . .
