That Work Thing:  It’s The Little Things

One of the things at work that makes me happy is to look at the Acuity Insurance flag from my desk. It’s about a half mile from our building but I can see it clearly out the window.

My view 9d the flag has been blocked for awhile and it bothered me.

So one day I asked the 3rd shift coordinator if he could move a pallet from on top of the shelving unit so I could see the flag.

He said yes.

This is what I see and I am so happy.

It’s a little blown up on my phone but you get the idea.

The Acuity flag is the largest free flying American flag in the U.S

It’s beautiful.

It makes me happy to see her flying.  It gives me hope.  It makes me proud.

Some days it’s the little things that make my day.

Flooded

Yesterday I was telling you about the flooded farm fields.

Here are some pictures.

These pictures are from both sides of the road.

Same for these three.

These last three are miscellaneous pictures.

The 2nd one is an unplanted field.

Sad.

I’m praying we don’t get anymore rain for awhile so these fields can dry out.

Hopefully we don’t

Not So Fun Friday

We’ve had alot of rain lately.

A lot.

This afternoon it poured out. 

The skies opened up and it poured.

These pictures I took about 45 minutes ago.

The rain has slowed and the water has receded a little.

I had to move stuff in the basement because there is water coming in.

More rain is coming on Sunday and Monday.

Pray for our farmers.  Their fields are swimming pools.  Some farmers didn’t even get to plant their fields because they were so wet and now they are wet again.

The sun is trying to come out.

I don’t mind a little rain but this sucks.

How Can My Pup Love Me So Much?

Sometimes I wonder how Scooby can love me so much?

Sometimes I push him away because I don’t feel I deserve his love.

From the minute he wakes up til the minute he goes to sleep he love me.

I step on his tail.  He yelps and when I apologize he jumps all over me and gives me kisses like it’s his fault.

I come in the house from being outside for five minutes and he jumping all over me and giving me kisses like I was gone for 10 hours.

I have never experienced love like this before.

He loves me 24/7.

Without hesitation.  No matter what I do.

He loves me more than I love myself.

When we are walking and looks up at me and he’s smiling it melts my heart.

I’m laying in bed as I write this and he’s snuggled next to me.  If I get up he will lay at the edge of the bed and wait for me to come back and then he will curl up next to me again.

I am so damn lucky to have this pup and his love.

Sometimes I don’t feel like I deserve it but obviously he does

I am always learning about love from this dog I really didn’t want and was only going to tolerate because my husband wanted a dog.

I fell in love with him the day we brought him home and love him more every day.

I am so lucky to be loved like I am.

I love him more than I ever thought possible.

His love heals me and I am forever grateful.

New Babies

A week ago Sunday I planted sunflower seeds in two planters.

Here are pictures of the new babies.

I’ve never planted from seed before so I’m super excited they came up.

I also planted some wild flower and daisy seeds in a different planter.

No babies.

Yet.

I was told to wait another week or two.

I hope I have babies soon!

I’ll keep you updated.

Notes For Future Blog Posts

I brought some if my blog stuff to the laundromat with me this morning.

I am washing the king comforter that we bought so my husband, Scoob and I all have covers throughout the night.

Anyway….

I write notes for my blog almost every day at work.  I bring them home and they get lost on my desk.  I’m digging thru papers looking for one piece of paper I know I wrote notes on.

So this morning I brought the pieces of paper and I’m putting them in a notebook.  A page for each idea.

I’m almost done.

I’m hoping I will be able to find things easier and keep my thoughts together.

It allows me to add notes when I want to posts in the notebook and to write new posts.

Laundry is done and it’s time to go home.

It was nice to spend and hour and 1/2 on my blog.

Fun Friday:  Brain Dump

I know it’s late.  It’s after midnight so it’s really not Friday.

But it’s still Friday to me so here it goes.

I did a brain dump today at work. 

I have 3 blogs.  This one, a writing one and one for my business.

For the last couple weeks I have had all of these ideas for posts swimming around in my head so I decided to get them all on paper today.

I made a list for each blog.

Each time I had an idea I stopped working and wrote ideas down.  Not something I do regularly but I did it today.

I feel better that they are out of my head.

It gives me a sense of direction.  It gives me a starting point for the rest of the year.

It was an outlet for me today.

I really liked doing it.  It brought me joy.

I’m going to stop now.  I hope this makes sense.  I’ve been trying to play with my dog while I’m writing this.

I’ve been home from work for about 45 minutes.  He  wants to play and lick me to death and I  want to write this post so I had to compromise.

Tomorrow I will start organizing my lists and see where it goes from there.

It’s bedtime now so good night.
