Zetti Fun

It has been a few years since I have done any Zetti at all.  I was hooked on it forever and then just got into other things…. you know how it is.

Anyway, we are doing a zetti page swap in one of my groups and I had to join in.  I felt SO rusty getting these pages done! But it was fun and I am glad we will be doing it every month for a while.

These are my pages for Sandy:

I hope she likes them!!!

TRUE STORY!!!!

Kaitlynn (my 7 year old granddaughter) is taking CCD classes so she can do her communion in the Catholic church.  On Wednesday my daughter took the girls to church for the Ash Wednesday mass.  This is a conversation they had in the car:

KAITLYNN:  Mom, I want to give up something for lent.  What should I give up?

KRISTINA:  Well, it has to be something you really love.  It is a sacrifice.  What do you really love?

KAITLYNN:  Candy!

KRISTINA:   Okay, but you have to understand that you can not have any candy at all for 40 days.  This is a promise you are making to God.

KAITLYNN:  Okay mom.  I can do it!

So Kaitlynn turns around and tells Maddie:

KAITLYNN:   Maddie, we are giving up candy for lent!

MADDIE:  We?  No Kaitlynn.  YOU are giving up candy for lent!  I did not promise God ANYTHING!!!

That kid just kills me!

A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT

Okay, so my word for this year is PURPOSE. As part of that goal, as part of my purpose, I want to become healthier and more fit. I am eating better and I have joined Yoga. I always thought yoga was for wimps. Well, the universe has proven me wrong!

I started with "gentle" yoga for the first couple of classes. It was sort of challenging but I could handle it. This, I have come to realize, is the way they set you up with a false sense of security. They build you up only to bring you to your knees when you realize how old and out of shape you are. It's really quite cruel.

Today we did what I was told was a more challenging class. "I can do it" I tell myself….. "I was a dancer for years" I tell myself. What I DIDN'T stop to tell myself is that I have not done ANYTHING more physical than lifting a pen in the past 23 years!!!! Todays' ASHTANGA class just totally KICKED MY ASS!!! Was I the one that said that Yoga is for wimps????? Why even a dog can do it!!!

HOW GREAT IS THIS?

I saw this and just loved it. Having three grand daughters, I thought it would be awesome for my son-in-law!!!

ONE LITTLE WORD

I had never heard of this Ali Edwards project before and apparently it has been going on for several years. This year I have joined in and my word is PURPOSE. I am not sure if it's MY age or just where I am in my life right now but I want to live with more purpose. I don't want to just get through the days and weeks and months. I want there to be a reason - a purpose - in most things that I do. It's not like you have all that much "good" time left! I want my direction to be TOWARD something - not just wayward. Make sense? Well, it does to me!!! LOL!!! I have all my "stuff" assembled (heaven knows I did not need to buy any more "stuff" but of course I did!! It's like going to a wedding - you may have 10 appropriate dresses but you want a NEW one!) and I am ready to go. Even did some research on the meaning of living life on purpose - living a purposeful life.... you get my drift. I am hoping to get to it this week. Especially since it is only one challenge a month and this month is almost over! It took me forever to decide what word I want to use. Declutter? Good word for me - but realistically not going to happen. Enough? Also a good word - SO not going to happen. By a series of elimination more than anything else - but figuring out what I want to accomplish this year is how I got to my word. For example, I want to learn to draw this year (as I have stated for the past few years!!!). If I pursue that with purpose maybe I will actually learn to draw this year. It will be fun to see how this all pans out. How if by saying it enough, defining it enough, repeating it enough, I can actually accomplish it.

REALLY?????

I know that we are spoiled here in South Florida with the weather but I wanted to show you to what extent!!! It was "cold" yesterday - I think it was 55. Of course since I am in menopause I was in heaven!!!

Then I get these pictures from my daughter. These are my three grand daughters. I thought they had gone to Vail and hadn't told me anything!!!


REALLY!!!??????

Imagine if we lived up North!!!
