30 Days of Thanksgiving Day 21

Today I am thankful for quiet. It's quiet inside. It's quiet outside. Aaaahhhh...

Love the new header!

When my kids were little, I lived for quiet moments. Now, even tho' they all still live at home, I think I'm starting to get an idea of what an empty nest will be like. And I'm not sure I'm going to like all of that quiet at all! I only like it for a couple of hours at a time right now; hopefully I'll get used to it when I have to.

I love the quiet, and I'm often thankful for it! I have a girlfriend who can't stand silence and I feel for her. When we travel, the TV is on constantly when we are in the hotel room, and the radio is always playing in car. It's ok for a while, but soon, it starts driving me up the wall.

Some of my favorite moments in life are when I'm feeling stressed, nervous, upset or even scared...and I remember to take a moment to breathe. The moment I can hear my breath and feel my heartbeat regulate with each rise and fall of my chest reminds me that I am ALIVE and life is what you make it.
Thanks Lisa! It's very cute, isn't it?

(((HUGS))) to you! You'll be fine with your empty nesting, I just have a feeling!

Alisha, my husband is sometimes like that, he's always got to have something going on in the background. Right now, everything is off and all I can hear is the wind blowing dried leaves around outside and the noises from our computer. He'll come in and turn the tv on to the country music channel in no time if he comes home to this, lol!

There's so much noise where we live (off a major highway, across the bay from 3 airports, obnoxious tenants) and even noise in my brain with all of my rambling thoughts, that it's So Nice to be able to just sit in the quiet and be silent for a while.

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook...

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...
