T-13 #43 Thirteen More Adorable Puppies

Make Time for Small Reflections
Whimsical Wednesday is in the next post.

Thanks to Hootin' Anni for the 'kewl' T-13 headers!

13 Adorable Puppies
(A PSE6 Collage created from my

Puppy a Day Widget photos)

I did this once before for T-13 #18 (way back in March) using Picasa to create two collages with different 'adorable puppy photos' and decided to do it again ... just because.

Currently ...

... I'm thankful to have encountered the 'Food Court Flash Mob Hallelujah Chorus to share here at Small Reflections. I've also shared a Beautiful Meditative Video and a delightful Random Act of Culture (that happened at Macy's) at Sacred Ruminations ... just because.

I'm also grateful that I've created a personalized 1st edition 'Labyrinth Journal' for my friend Susan. I've written a second version that I plan to publish & share with others very soon.

My sister & her husband arrived in town on Wednesday, November 17th and will be around for a few months ... so that's pretty 'kewl' too!

Remember ... you can find me sharing at Giraffe Journal and Labyrinth Journal when you don't see anything from me posted here.

Hope all's well with you and yours!
Hugs and blessings,
Virginia

How I Became a Blogger

Evolution of my blogs
Late in October of 2007, I started playfully exploring possibilities here and at SacredRuminations ... the site where I joined Carla's Sacred Life Project. I published daily on both sites initially, but in mid-January of 2008 I gave myself permission to cut myself some slack & rethink things. Since committing to Blog 365 at Small Reflections, I've continued to publish daily here, but I'm thinking about alternating days and/or experimenting a bit with a variety of possibilities in an attempt to balance my online activities with my "real life" ... without giving "short shrift" to either blog. Therefore, it's all a work in progress, and I hope you'll bear with me.

In October of 2008, I celebrated my 1st Blogoversary here at Small Reflections on the 22nd & at Sacred Ruminations on the 23rd.

I completed Blog 365 in 2008 with a total of 378 posts here at Sacred Ruminations, 234 at Sacred Ruminations, 20 at BlogRolls, Bling & Blurbs, and 30 at Happily Retired Gal for a grand total of 662 ... all in 366 days!

In 2009, my sister & her husband returned to So Cal for 4 months and I had less time to blog. Even though they're on the road again, I'm finding it challenging to recapture a daily blogging habit. Click for more specifics about this.

In October of 2009 I celebrated my 2nd Blogoversary here at Small Reflections & at Sacred Ruminations and in November of 2009 I celebrated my 1st Blogoversary at Happily Retired Gal. Little did I know what would follow when I entered this 'virtual' world.

"It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear .... It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to." Marilyn Ferguson

Food for Thought

More thoughts

"We have been so eager to give our children what we didn't have in life, we have neglected to give them what we did." Anyonmous

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. ... You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt

"There are events in life that cannot be explained or changed. I acknowledge them, feel them, and I release the rage, guilt, loss, anger, and grief." Dr. Christiane Northrup

"The first and the simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity." Edmund Burke

"Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit." Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"When a woman changes her life for the better, her entire family (whether or not she has children) generally benefits. She sets the tone. The well-being of the family and of society itself depends upon women becoming and remaining healthy. So we owe it to ourselves to put ourselves first and take the time we need to heal." Dr. Christiane Northrup
