I’m sure we have all seen these three words on decorative plaques. I finally bought one and put it in the eating area of our kitchen, so that each day I can read it and put those words into action.
We all have problems, sadness , worries, and have felt unloved many times. If we dwell on these negative things our lives become the things we think.
We feel alone.
Hubby accuses me of living in “The World of Disney” but hey, if it keeps me going, then I’m in there for the length of my precious time. I have had many heartbreaking reality visits, so it’s nice to be able to escape at times. If anyone cares to join me there is plenty of room.
So, taking a cue from this, we did have love, and laughed with our family at a Giants game in San Francisco this past weekend. We missed our son and daughter-in-law because of illness, but we had all our grand kids to keep us laughing.
In this picture our youngest daughter is not in the photo with us because she was the photographer.
We cheered, we clapped, we sang, but the Giants still lost.
And I also live for my garden and my sewing.♥♥♥
My Moss roses are looking good!
And then I always have new projects that I enjoy making. This one is for my youngest daughter who likes purples, blues with a touch of black. The blocks are 12″ by 12″.

You’re so right, perspective is everything! Looks like a fun day at the park despite the loss. I was hoping to find an update from you. Thanks!

I love your three words to live by, Dora. I agree. Enough hard times will find us all without us having to go look special for them! Concentrate on the positive while we can. Your Giants game looks like a great family outing. Congratulations.

Your roses look amazing! What an unusual variety. This is new to me. I love your photograph at the game! You all look so happy. Summer always reminds me to try and laugh more. Your post inspires me to do that and I love the line ‘our lives become the things we think.’
Hope the Giants win next time! Happy days 😉

Hi there, good to hear from you. The moss rose is more of a ground cover, but I like mine in containers. The flower is about 2 inches wide and their colors are beautiful. Thank you for your kind words.

It’s interesting how tubs can really change how a plant comes over. I got some strawberries and blueberries in ours. Just waiting for them to ripen!! 😉
