A new journey begins

A vision, a dream… the time is finally here. The gathering of minutes, hours, days, years and now it is here. Maybe to travel across the country, to see family and friends, to enjoy the riches of the earth, to sit back and gaze at the stars. Maybe fish in a brook, paint or write… the options are numerous! I wait in anxious excitement to step into the discovery of this new journey.

There is much to do / to prepare!! There are decisions to be made. There are motor-homes to look at!!!

Lions and tigers.. Oh my!! Oh but what fun it will be!!!

What was I thinking??

Does anyone else have those moments where self doubt just takes over and you wonder is it you or is the other person just not getting it? Where you go over it and over it again and again in your mind using up all your energy and wasting the day because you just can’t get it out of your head or understand why they just don’t get it?? Maybe it was me? Maybe it was my fault? Maybe, maybe…. You tell yourself: oh well, just let it go… it’s done it’s over… move on… And then, here you are again trying to get out of your head!!!

Tomorrow will bring a new day and time will help to let it go!

Wow, 62!!!

I’ve actually made it to 62 this July 1st! I can not wait to go to Glacier National Park and get my free pass. See… there are some great things about turning 62!!

I feel pretty good. Eating healthy and staying in shape has helped a ton. I’m enjoying my days and still working full time. I feel very blessed and have a ton of gratitude. I’ve experienced a lot of life journies and learned so many things… I thank God everyday for my life!!!

May you all have a great day and “live your life in the moment with passion, love and kindness”

A day in the moment!

Kind of a cloudy day with a bit of rain off and on, a good book day :-)! Actually this whole week is forecast to be rainy… Good for the spring flowers!!

This has been a good few days off from work. We are slow at the hotel and doing renovations. It is certainly a great time to get some things done that I don’t normally get the chance to do.

Today I went to the Nissan dealership. I had the oil changed on my 2006 Nissan Xterra. I love that car but I guess they are taking that model off the selling lineup 😦 !! That makes me quite sad. Oh well, when it comes time to trade her in I’ll just have to go for a newer used one!! 🙂

Enjoy your day and make it a good one, cheers!!!

Deep in thought!

January 1, 2016!!! I was so caught up… so busy at work… so tired when I got home… and on and on went the reasons and the time!!!

Today, for some unknown reason, I began to flip through the blogs of those I follow but have not visited for quite sometime. I started flipping through the post’s of past, discovering how much has happened and changed! I cried, I smiled and I gazed into space pondering the stories and life changing events that have happened to those I have come to know through their blogs and post of sharing……

I realize it is a new year, a time that lends itself to think about the past and the future… it awakens something deep inside and calls out…..

I must, somehow, get back…. it is after all a new year!!!

It’s been awhile !!

Wow, I can’t believe it has been so long since I have written a post!! Sometimes life just seems to fly by so fast…. I need to stop, take a breath and slow down. I enjoy blogging and I enjoy reading all the different blogs so I need to make it more of a priority. It is a relaxing time to let ones mind go free, to drift between the words and let go… It is also a time to read other posts and take in the thoughts, the knowledge, the journeys and stories of what others have to offer. The funny, the serious, the happy – the sad…. all of it a life’s experience and a chance to get close to others like myself…. What a wonderful place to be!! Let us blog, let us post and let us share….

Well… this healthy eating is killing me LoL!! I’ve got bone soup in my cockpot?? Protein green shakes for breakfast, my homemade trail mix of organic raisins, raw nuts, organic coconut, goji berries and organic cliff bar for snack!! Dinner is steamed or roasted veggies or maybe a salad with baked chicken or fish…. All kidding aside, I must say I do feel pretty good. I seem to have more energy, less brain fog and an all around feel better feeling. Lots of back on the track needed after all those holiday treats and goodies :-). Taking as much sugar out of your eating habits is definitely a great thing.

I made this really awesome hamburger in my iron skillet tonight. I have never tried that before and I will definitely cook it this way again! Ya, I know beef really isn’t the best but once in awhile okay….

Got to go now, morning comes quickly…. take care everyone and live your life in the moment with passion, love and kindness.

Time rushes by!!

Oh my goodness…. where has the time gone??? Gosh between all the snow storms, working 40 hrs, after holiday organization and normal everyday “stuff” it seems like ages since I have posted!! February is here, the groundhog has seen his shadow and 6 more weeks of winter… ugh! I am ready for spring :-). It is getting better though, at least the drive home after work is still in the daylight. I love that the days are getting longer…

Even though I have not posted on my own blogs I have been traveling around reading all the great post in the community. The variety and mix of all sorts of stuff is so much fun to read. Great job everyone!! Well, I guess it’s on to a new year and a new journey of reading, learning, posting and seeing what 2015 will bring!

I am ready to get back into my blogs and I am fairly certain Maggie Mae is too!! In fact she is laying beside me and she is saying ” Iz can’t wait to talk to some of my fur friends again” :-). Plz mommy let’s get blogging :-)!!

Happy February everyone!! Live your life in the moment with passion, love and kindness!!

Happy 2015 to all!!

Well 4 days into the New Year… hope everyone is having a good start to 2015. It has been a bit busy for me. The Best Western has been packed with skiers and visitors and we have all been putting in long hours, including working the holidays. Unfortunately a lot of the staff and guests have been sick so I too caught some of that and now get 2 days to rest up!!

Today we took the tree and Christmas decorations down and put the house back in order. I think I am back on track and can hopefully get back to some blog posting :-). Now it is time to relax so I can get better fast. I don’t normally get sick so hopefully I can spring back quickly!!

We got about 5 inches of snow over the last 2 days and are now expecting a stronger storm to start up tonight going through tomorrow and into Tuesday for about 8 or more inches… We will probably have at least a total of 13 inches or so here in the valley and a lot more up in the mountains and on the passes!! It is definitely winter in Montana!!

Happy New Year to everyone!!! Be safe and enjoy your evening 🙂

Good Morning!!!

My morning view from my backyard !! It is just so breathtaking and I am feeling so blessed :-)!!

Except for how cold it is and the snow that is forecast to get here in the next day or two, it is an awesome place to live (of course the skiers and snow boarders will be praying for snow!!).

I am off to finish up some shopping as I have today off, so everyone enjoy your day, be safe and have fun!!!
