Back to Black...

Well... went from Red hair...to Black, again. 

It's been a while... since I colored. : )

I looked like I had a red Skunk... perched on my head.

: )

Couldn't color it...with shingles...still...on my head.

Until Now!!!

: )

At least... when the gray comes in... I'll look like I've got the real deal....

perched...: )

Visited with some Friends, about an Estate Sale... yesterday.

Made deliveries...today.

{The Victorian Urn, sold... }

I've had some ideas...running through my mind....about, the upcoming year.

Just..... began, making a few calls, to 'catch up'... with Friends, in the business.

oh, my.

After, visiting....with one, after another.... it seems, maybe...

'They'...have been waiting, on me. 

I, feel... like a Bear... must feel, walking out of it's Den...

after a Long...Winter's Nap.

A bit, Groggy....and Hungry.

Anxious to see Spring.

but, in the places, I thought I'd see it, it...isn't.

{There are a few, that... truly...inspired. : ) }

but...

as I was listening...to some, well....it was worrisome.

Here, they were...ready...to quit, and I'm thinkin'....

of Diving In...Deep!!!

'Full Throttle....Wide Open!!!'
Hitting It HARD!!!

but, then.... I don't have any choice.

Well... I do.

I could quit.

but, that...isn't an option.

I've let things sit, idle......for too long.

but... I didn't have a choice.

I, did...what I 'had' to do... but, that's all...I could do.

I..Hope... in Some Way.... I can Help...others....now.

We Need... Inspiration.

People are so...twisted, because of what's going on in Washington.

: (

We can't...let that divide us.

Here's the way....I see it.

Mr. Trump...is going to do the Best...he can.

He, doesn't deal with failure, well.

I Pray....for him. 

I Pray...for our Country.

but, we can't let all of that...stop us, from moving forward.

A Great President...once said....

"The Only Thing....to Fear, is 'fear'...itself."

There will always....be uncertainty.
The Truth is... It's That...that makes us...Strong.
{You only Build Muscles...while Swimming Upstream.
Nothing is gained...Floating...with the current. }

I, think about those...in waiting rooms....in Hospitals...all over this World.

Sitting beside their Children....Husbands....Wives...Brothers...Sisters....
Mothers...Fathers...

Friends.

Those, are the ones...who, truly....have it tuff.

There are Those...who could only Dream...of a Hospital...for Their...Loved ones.

If You and Yours....are Healthy... 

Life...is Good.
Money.... can't buy...that. 

: )

It's All...in God's...Hands. 

Every Bit....of it.

: ) 

We Must...Keep Moving Forward.

Just, as important... Seek The Beauty....in this World, around Us.

: )

Create.... 

Smile...

Laugh...

Inspire.

Be Kind.

There are days... when It's Tuff, I know.

but...I make Point, these days.... when I'm in public....

to Smile.

: )

Show Kindness.

People...Need That....Now, more...than ever.

: )

The Man I did a Sale for...last Fall, who is a Major...Trump Supporter, called me yesterday, for some advise.

{I told him, last Fall...before the election...we wouldn't talk politics. I knew, neither one of us...was going to sway, the other. : ) We Truly....enjoyed each others company..., and...respected, one another. : ) }

He left me a message.... it said...

"So...are you Alive....or did you Commit Suicide...after the Election!!!! Call Me!!"

hahahaha...

{He's  Quite...a Dude. : ) Gruff...Straight to The Point.... and...Funny!!!}

I called him back. 

He was in Such a HURRY....to get his sale done, by Nov.1...{Holy Smokes!!! I Ran my Tail Off...to get his, and another  Two Sales....done, in October. }

All...so he could get to his Winter Home...in Florida...

I was Shocked, he might be back...in Iowa!

When he answered.... I said...

"Where The Hell Are You????!!! You Can't...be in Iowa!!!"...

he said... yeah, he was. His mother isn't doing well. : (

He wanted my advise.... on what direction....to go. 

He, also....commented... "I'm Not About....to make Another Mistake, without Consulting You... like, when I went ahead and listed my Property....after you told me not to....until after the Estate Sale!!!

{BIG MISTAKE!!! $$$$$ }

{Big Man...to admit it... : )

{he has...Over and Over.... hahahaha {Listen to Barb....}

then.... I said...

"I can't Believe... they let you out of Florida!!! 

Do You have All of Your Paperwork...in ORDER...

 Green Card???.... Birth Certificate???

Hell,... with What's Goin' On....THEY Might not let ya Back In!!! "

Hahahahaha!!!!

"I'm gonna tell 'em to watch for You....at The Iowa...Line, should you have to Double Back!!!!"

Hahahaha!!!!

We laughed...a lot. : )

Ya....have to. 

: ) 

Make, no mistake...we all...understand, what's going on.

but...

We have to have Faith.... and...Love, one another. 

: )

No Matter. 

Love, to ya...
