a cool sunny sunday :) Movie day, and sunshine! :) new plants pictures! :)

Happy Sunday! :) Enjoying some sunshine, writing, and a movie day! :) getting nicely balanced for the upcoming week :) today, i treated myself to a peach iced tea, some writing time, i also cooked some soup and watched my new Star Wars movie :) It's great! :) it felt nice to have a movie day :) i'm keeping busy, and active, anticipating the upcoming gardening season :) i know it's been a bit cold, and wintery lately, but i'm so hopeful we'll get some great warmer and sunny weather to do our annual yard and garden work :) it's gonna be awesome to get our garden greenhouses filled with some great planters, and seedlings started :) i've been a bit emotional, and feeling off-balanced, as i haven't gotten to enjoy nature as much as i like too lately, but i think i'll definitely get the opportunity for more sunny nature walks with good warm weather soon :) Everyone, my family, friends, have been keeping me uplifted, and spirited, from day to day :) i'm very thankful and appreciative :) Holly and i are gonna watch the new fear the walking dead show tomorrow night, and re-watching some episodes from season 1 tonight :) i'm making more homemade pickles tomorrow :) Looking forward to a spirited week :)
Hi angel friends! :) my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a nice sunday :) We love the weekends :) We've got some great sunshine in our area today :) we love when it's sunny :) my family and i have been hanging out today, enjoying some time together, and also gearing up to get some new furniture in our living room :) my mom and dad are getting a new couch, and love seat from the rent-a-center place :) We're getting our living room ready, for the new additions :) my sister Jenn, Mikey, and Hunter came over to visit earlier and Lisa's had the day off from work :) We all have been doing ok, and keeping nice and busy, active each day, which is very helpful :) Today is Holly's mom's birthday :) Holly went to visit with her parents, for lunch, and celebrating :) It's a nice sunday, with some great things going on :)
i've been thinking of nature, gardening, and the recent writings i've been enjoying :) i bought a new pack of greetings cards yesterday, which are so nice, to add to my cards supplies, here in my writing area :) i'm very excited about mailing the 2nd set of Thank you cards, and a treasures package on wednesday :) It's gonna be so nice :) i've been keeping as balanced as i can, in recent days, especially this past week. i've felt a bit off-balanced with some things. i know DS hasn't been working 100% smoothly at times, i've tried to keep motivated, and encouraged, and also hopeful that all will be working great, and smoothly :) i even posted a good topic on the daily strength members community :) i love writing, and being able to communicate with friends, and writing in my journals, here on ds, is very special and precious to me :) i'm happy DS is working well this weekend :) i love visiting everyone's pages, and reading journals, writing journals :) i'll alwyas be here for everyone :)
Something else i've been thinking about too, alot on my mind lately, is the nature, gardening season. we've had some unsettled weather in recent times. this past week, the sudden snow, both last sunday and monday, was really strange, and then when it warmed up, it rained really hard, got icy cold again, which has been dampening my spirits a bit. i've been trying to remain in good spirits, about the nature, i love going out, and being able to enjoy long nature walks, and getting the gardens lately. it went from, feeling like spring, to feeling like it was winter again. it took a toll on my spirit, and also my heart too. we're not use too cold april weather with snow, and our hyacinth's had just began to blossom when we got that snow, and i felt really bad, because i want to garden, i want to do some garden work, and getting our gardens ready. it's just taking a bit longer this year for spring to officially arrive. i've been really looking forward to getting the gardens all set, and our greenhouses :) i know i must continue to be patient, and that those sunny warm 70 degrees days will be coming soon :) i look forward to it, very much :) i want to take garden pictures, and making garden videos to share :) nature helps keep me balanced, and writing does too :)
This afternoon, i put my new star wars movie on :) i had some split peas soup, a salad, and my peach iced tea :) The new star wars movie is awesome!!! :) i love it, and i'll definitely re-watch it many times :) i love the star wars movies, they're full of action, and story too :) it was so nice having a movie afternoon :) i look forward to watching the movie again soon : )
Sunny smiles across the miles, sent with lots and lots of love :) awww! :) i wanted to share with everyone, about a special thank you card i recieved in the mail, from Holly :) She sent me a beautiful card, with a sunflowers themed coffee cup on the front of the card, and it says, You are my sunshine :) awww! :) This is so nice, an sweet of Holly :) i opened and read the card while she and i were on the phone :) inside the card, Holly wrote me a heart-felt note :) awww! :) i'm smiling and love my card, very much :) i thanked Holly on the phone :) She and i had a great movie night, and looking forward to watching our shows this upcoming week :) Happy sunflower smiles :)
We're enjoying a nice relaxing, and peaceful sunday :) my family and i are doing well, and are in good spirits :) This upcoming week, i want to keep motivated, focused, and in tune with the days, taking good care, continuing to work hard toward achieving my goals, and enjoying each day to the fullest :) Holly and i want to watch the new episode of fear the walking dead show, tomorrow night :) i may purchase another collectible or two, this upcoming week too :) i'm looking forward to enjoying nature walks when i can, due to the weather maybe being rainy this upcoming week, i want to do some stretching, exercising, and lifting weights :) i want to keep active too, with my writings :) i know DS has been slow at times, especially during the weekdays, i always hope i get the chance to post my journals, and pictures :) i want to take many more pictures to share :) i'm excited for the upcoming week, and gonna work hard toward achieving continued progress with my goals :) Thank you angel friends, for cheering me on with my goals, and for believing in me, and having faith in me :) i'm with you all, all the way! :) Thank you all, for all that you do for us :) we deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) BIG GROUP WARM SUNNY SUNFLOWER HUG :) There's many more great things to look forward too, with family, friends, and nature :)

i FINALLY got on here! i don\'t know why this site is so difficult lately:( i need my daily strength!

the weather was SUPER strange here on Friday night. all at the same time we had snow, thunder, lightning and a LOT of wind...and then hail, the size of pearls, fell from the sky! we had a hard freeze last night and i scurried around putting every new tender little plant under covers. so far, it looks like they have survived:)

your pics are a sight for tired winter eyes!!! so beautiful:)

i bet the new furniture will look so pretty in your living room! exciting! HUGS to all of you. i sure have missed your journals. i\'m going to catch up right now!

Hi angel Chris. Glad u are taking good care angel and enjoyed the new Star Wars movie :) Very cool! Can\'t wait to see it myself soon too :) I want to dig out our wii lego star wars games at some point in the future :) I really do hope one day they bring out the Star wars funko range. I really do think they will Chris and going to be fab additions to your collection :) I luv Yoda too he is so wise! :) The build your own yoda Becca built is on our side lol It looks fab i\'ll have to take a pic soon lol

I\'m so sorry angel u have been struggling so much *big hugs* I know u have been dealing with so much.

Also DS being down too and so slow and the very cold weather. I know these curve balls in life and changes are really hard at times. But i absolutly know the weather will warm up very soon and u are going to enjoy fab gardening days, nature walks, BBQ cookouts etc. That warm sunshine is just moments away. Living myself in an area with such unpredictable weather at times having snow in summer, gail force winds etc i suppose i have adjusted as it\'s our normal lol I have found actually the best nature sights at times can be in the colder weather :) But i know the gloominess is depressing at times (i feel more down in gloomy weather too) and also as a gardener too you need the good weather etc.

Chris i absolutly know gardening times are just round the corner and in the meantime u are going to have extra time to plan out your gardens :) Can\'t wait to hear all about the season and you have such a fab one ahead *hugs* Keep strong bro and as always really proud of u and everything u continue to achieve *High Five*

Fridays hospital appt went really well thank u angel :) More of a plan coming together.

Watched a film with my mum last night :) She\'s doing better. Also her med change has helped a lot. Trying to make sure she rests too as much as i can get her to. Becca is doing good too. We are all on healthy eating which is helping me a lot not to be tempted lol Dairy, caffeine, choc free going great and noticing good changes :) We are all over the flu now too.

I\'ve planned a trip to Hobbycraft with my mum at some point in the future. Working towards this and other goals i\'ve set myself slow and steady :)
