Oh wonderful rain...

It is raining today. The first rain of the season here in Socal. I have been excitedly anticipating it's arrival since yesterday. I love the rain so much because it reminds me of how fortunate I am for a cozy shelter.

One of the dictionary definitions for cozy is: enjoying or affording comforting warmth and shelter especially in a small space; "a cozy nook near the fire"; "snug in bed"; "a snug little apartment".

This is so very fitting as I am snug and happy inside our little apartment. I love the way the rain washes all of the toxins away.

Every day I think of at least one thing to be grateful for, it makes me so happy. Like Bob bohanna once told my mom who in turn told me... "You can be fearful or you can be grateful." I've noticed that grateful feels much better.

Here is a beautiful wishing ball just for you... make a wish and blow!!!

O.k. so Matt talks in his sleep....the things he says are hilarious!!! Yay...he just gave me permission to share...
Sometimes he stares me right in the eyes (at first when he would do this I thought he was wide awake until the things he was saying got so ridiculous that I realized he was asleep, especially when he would start snoring mid statement.)
So this morning he says:
" We've gotta get that male dog in my dream off the table, he shouldn't be there."
(apparently he was awake enough to know that the dog was a dream dog but not awake enough to realize that if that was the case than who cares if he is up on a dream table.)
Then he goes on to say " and you're right, that cute male dog on the table is gonna like that cute female dog of your mom's - That's good, everybody should be happy."

Ahh so fun!!!!

He re-writes a message to her again and again...

I love this recent story about a man who bought a glass scroll necklace for his fiancee. The man wrote a sweet message to her that she would wear around her neck and each time she would take a shower, the paper would get wet and dissolve, she would then ask him to re-write a message to her for her to wear. What a beautiful way to keep his love note fresh!

Scroll Necklaces for Cancer Treatment Centers of America

So privileged to have received an order for a wonderful man that works for the Cancer treatment centers of America. He ordered some scroll necklaces with very inspiring quotes inside of them. How beautiful... and he paid for the necklaces out of his own pocket... what a beautiful person.
