. . . JUST SAYIN'

If time gets going by any faster I'll have to walk backwards to catch up!!

 Well here it is Holiday time.  Thanksgiving already over and Christmas right around the corner -- like 10 days to the corner!!   Birthday come and gone -- 65 this year.  SS begins January 1 and first check comes mid February.  And January 1 I go to half time at my day job which gives me more time to do my art and leather work -- thank you Lord.   Damn, wasn't it just the other day I was turnin' 50 and exclaimed to myself that I had 10 years to get my ducks in a row.  Well it's been 15 and my ducks -- the ones still alive and somewhat able -- have flown South and the only things I have in a row are the aches and pains in my shoulders, back and knees -- old rodeo injuries. 

I had big plans to be up and running by now but, like everything else, am far enough behind to bring it into next year before anything is ready to go.  I still need to get this Blog ready to open up and I need a bunch of photos for my Etsy page -- but it's closer today that it was last year!! 

I hope all is well with everyone and things are winding up to be a good, peace filled, family centered, Holiday time filled with gratitude and love.  I know it can also be a difficult time for some.   My wish for those who struggle with heart ache and emotional pain this time of year, is that you are able to find one thing to help you smile and melt the ice of pain and hopelessness that holds you hostage.  I  pray that you all find the strength to just put one foot in front of the other and keep on headin' out into the journey no matter how hard it is right now.  God bless us all -- cause some of us really need it!
