"Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide no escape from reality
Open your eyes look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, to me"
I share so much of myself on Facebook and I wonder if that is good thing or not. Next year will mark ten years since the store I worked at closed and left me unemployed. I set three goals: start a blog, go on a creative retreat and open an etsy shop. Facebook gives me a chance to look back and see how these ten years were SO FULL. I am at this point in my life: do I just step back or do I step up? Well, I am going to step up and really embrace where my life is right now. I will try to do more blogging and less Facebook. So, I hope you follow my blog by email. How I blog has changed so much, but that is good. I would like to do simpler posts with one picture and just some thoughts. How life is working on a dream, and how to embrace it when it is going right. What brings us joy, and how we keep joy in our heart. No politics!!!!! Just like a Hallmark movie!!!! Goodness and how goodness comes from those we love. There are some really important lessons the company named Hallmark has given me. Did you know I always wanted to do something in life relating to greeting cards? I always considered Hallmark to be the big guy, the ultimate! Did you know the year before we had children we took a whole summer to where we might relocate to start new careers? Kansas City was one of the top three, and Hallmark was a big part of that for me. So, back to the life of a greeting card. I thought greeting card companies were doomed in the 1990's. I was glad I made a decision not to make that career choice and we stayed in the area and were blessed with twins. The first software I bought for our first gateway computer in 1998 was the Hallmark greeting card maker. I really thought no one would be buying greeting cards anymore. So, what is my point to all of this? Last year I started watching the Hallmark channel and I am hooked!!!! Why???? Oh, there are so many reasons. But, I truly believe in those; fairy tales, Disney movies and Hallmark shows, we all deserve a happy ending, no matter who we are.
