https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Butterfly1950_/Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don't just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy. He just promised it would be worth it.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Butterfly1950_/895337writing has taken a back seat.

The older I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Butterfly1950_/891311gets me up and going! And yes, I know that everything I clean and dust will not be noticed except for me! I'm just grateful to be able to do what I do because Life is so short. Cleaning and keeping busy helps the mind not to think of the four people I knew who have passed away this week. People I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Butterfly1950_/890286Painting:( But I know it is "normal" for my age. I don't know which I liked the best.... being young and not knowing what's in store down the road or being old and having so much more wisdom about my life. Either way my arm hurts and my hands are sore and on my way to bed to rest so I can get up...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Butterfly1950_/888346in one's mind. Maybe to just get a better perspective on things. Just about the time I rented the Apt. I asked him to go to the 12 step program and he didn't resist.

So maybe I jumped the gun as far as renting an apt....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Butterfly1950_/886685Small efficiency furnished apartment.

No shopping, no swimming, not even to water my lifeless plants.

Why does it have to be so hard to get anything done? For instance we filed a claim back in May on a property we owned when a tree fell on the front porch causing some damage. We pay our insurance premiums on time but when we file...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Butterfly1950_/878617Mother's day, Father's day, College & High school graduations and vacation are all over now.
