Happy Birthday to my Angel Momma.
Always in my heart~
Moms give the best hugs~
My precious Momma in her younger days.
I miss you deeply. I feel you around me and truly believe you are watching over me. It warms my heart to look at your photos and talk to you. Today I know you are enjoying your strawberry sundae that you just loved. It makes me happy to know you and Dad are together now. Thank-you for being a special Mom.
Happy Birthday Mommy.
I love you so much~ Your baby girl.
Happy Easter
I’m sending you good wishes
as bright as Easter Flowers.

I really like to try different spices on my foods, as they add more flavour. Ginger is one I use all the time. I buy Ginger Root and cut it up in tiny pieces or grate it onto my cereal. It is hot, so love to take a bite of it with a piece of orange.
I was also told that Ginger Root is terrific for inflammation in the body. My upper back, neck and shoulder still aggravate me due to a car accident a few years back. I am hoping the ginger root will do some good for my health issues.
Please remember, if you are under a doctor’s care to talk it over with him/her before you try anything new.
Have a wonderful weekend and thank-you for visiting my blog today.

“And In The End, It’s Not The Years In Your Life That Count. It’s The Life In Your Years.” ~Abraham Lincoln~
This quote had me thinking while at the gym early this morning.
I was being grateful that at 60 years of age I am able to workout like I do. In the end I hope it will continue to put “life in my years”.
Have a wonderful Monday and please remember you are never to old to do some kind of exercise. Please, If you are new to exercise, always talk it over with your doctor before starting any kind of fitness program.
love is taking one day at a time

Thank-you so much to Tazein Mirza Saad at:
www.transcendingbordersblog.wordpress.com for nominating my blog for the ‘Blog of the Year 2012 Award’. I have collected 3 stars now and am most proud. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart.
And here are the rules:
1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award.
2 Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.
3 Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award – http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)
4 Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them
5 You can now also join the award’s Facebook group – click ‘like’ on this page‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience if you choose to
6 As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…
Yes – that’s right – there are stars to collect!
Unlike other awards which you can only add to your blog once – this award is different!
When you begin you will receive the ‘1 star’ award – and every time you are given the award by another blog – you can add another star!
There are a total of 6 stars to collect.
Which means that you can check out your favorite blogs – and even if they have already been given the award by someone else – you can still bestow it on them again and help them to reach the maximum 6 stars!
I have not put the nominees in any type of order and please understand there are so many awesome blogs that deserve this award. I worry I have forgotten someone.
I want to thank all my followers, readers and anyone that just takes a peek at my blog. I do apologize if I ever forget to thank anyone as it is not intentional. I appreciate you all. Thank you so much. It will be a year in January that I started my blog and am having fun learning as time goes on.
Here are the nominees I have chosen for the ‘Blog of the Year 2012:

Thank-you for your kind words Sydney. My Hubby and I smiled while listening to this lovely song.
