JANUARY - 2014 HAS ARRIVED!

I MEANT TO GET A POST IN AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR BUT, SILLY ME, I NEEDED NEW BATTERIES IN MY WIRELESS KEYBOARD SO I WAS 'STUCK' FOR A WHILE WITHOUT THE MEANS OF MY KEYBOARD.

I HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE TYPING OF ANYTHING TO GO SLOWER, AND SLOWER, AND SLOWER....WELL!!!  I NEEDED THE ENERGIZER BUNNY TO HELP ME OUT!!!

AND, BINGO!!! ALL THE PROBLEM WAS, WAS I NEEDED NEW BATTERIES AS MINE WERE ALMOST DEAD.

I WAS SO HAPPY IT WAS SUCH A SIMPLE LITTLE THING.

BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT...

SINCE IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR I FELT IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO CHOOSE A WORD TO DEFINE THE YEAR OF MY GOALS.  SO I HAVE CHOSEN THE WORD 'FOCUS'.

IT SEEMS WHEN I AM AROUND OTHER PEOPLE, I LOOSE MY OWN FOCUS ON WHAT I AM SUPPOSE TO BE DOING, AND THAT CAN END UP BEING A CATASTROPHE AT TIMES.

SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I AM POSTING 'WISE SAYINGS' TO GET ME GOING AND FOCUSED AND I HOPE THESE SAYINGS HELP YOU AS MUCH AS THEY HAVE INSPIRED ME.

PLEASE ENJOY!!!



BUT FIRST...A FREE GRAPHICS FAIRY VALENTINE

AH, YES...VERY WISE WORDS FROM GANDALF.


FORGE AHEAD WITH YOUR DREAMS!!!

THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN FOR CREATIVITY.

WHAT MORE CAN A HOBBIT SAY?

BE WHO YOU WERE MEANT TO BE!

NEED I SAY MORE?

 
CREATE THAT DREAM















AND SO A NEW YEAR BEGINS WITH A NEW ADVENTURE!

THE DOOR IS OPEN WIDE, SO GO FOR IT!!!

Focus is an excellent word. I tend not to be able to do that for any length of time. I'm pretty scattered and easily distracted by something new.
So glad you'll be joining us for Celebrate Oz - Hues of Oz. If I can be of help or answer questions....just let me know. Oma Linda

Hello there...thanks so much for following my blog.

Love your blog! I am a real quote junkie. Love these awesome quotes on focus.

Ha, the story of my life - when a thing stops working because of batteries, it seems to take forever for me to realize "it must be the batteries."

Wishing you a happy and blessed week ahead.
xoxo

Yes, very true! Especially anything Gandalf says. Looks like you've given all of us 'new batteries'! Hugs!

Thank you, dear friend, for stopping by!
I do hope you will get the rain needed for the growing season....
Seems like we are in a time of extremes, doesn't it?
I'm sure you get the updates from your sister in MN...we are hardly getting above zeros lately (as I hold a cup of HOT chai in my hand...!) :)
Be well, and enjoy your day, sweet Teresa!

Oh yes....there are so many wonderful and encouraging words to keep us moving forward. I love words for so many reasons, and without them, things would be difficult to make possible. But LOVE, we cannot live without, and I thank you dear friend, for coming over to leave a comment. PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU!

First, thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a lovely comment!

Batteries...isn't it the simplest of things that seem to trip us up?

My word for the year was Simplify...however, I have yet to figure out exactly what that means to me - ha!

I love all the quotes - especially "Live your life and forget your age" - that one is my favorite one of all!

Joyfully, Donna

Holly said...

Blessings!
