Quitting, Inspiring and a Blog Button...

Wow...

there's a mouthful!

Let's start with quitting...

I can be a quitter

but in the nicest possible way.

I have so many ideas flying through my head...

and so many plans...

that I often start them and don't finish.

And nobody is harder on me over this...

THAN ME:)

But this time, I thought of quitting my blog.

Seriously.

I don't know what happened between the time I had

big plans for this one

AND a new one 

(must have been on a "steroid high":)

But I find that I'm struggling to find time,

time to blog,

time to create...

time to be lazy!

(Wait...I'm finding time for that last one.  hahaha)

So many people have been encouraging to me.

I know I've mentioned Paige of Simple Thoughts before...

but did I ever tell you that Paige's blog was the first blog I ever read?

I was so inspired by her that I started my own blog.

To this day, I read her blog and feel as if I know her.

I would love to live near Paige.

I would love my girls to know her girls!

Do you have a blog that inspired you?

Paige has written me such beautiful messages since

learning of my journey with MS.

So kind...Thank you Paige!

Then there is Karen, from
Some Days are Diamonds
(also know as the lady who started
the Bloggerette Sisters Sorority:)

The day I sat down to tell you that I was quitting,

I received an email from Karen.

Karen, as always, was encouraging...

and kind.

She had no idea I was thinking this way...

She told me to have faith,

be positive,

remember the prayers,

rearrange a few things...

in my path and in my life...

keep a sense of humor

and keep journaling.

Thank you Karen!

Next, blog buttons...

I asked Cat from

to make me a blog button.

See it in the sidebar and at the top of this post??

Go ahead, take it if you like.
Just click on it.
She made it really easy to do:-)

And I am going to go around collecting buttons from all of you

in the coming days.

It's the least I can do, since I have been so lazy about a 

blogroll.
(Wait till you see the divider she is working on for me!)
And here is the blog button from my "other" blog...
the one I plan to have fun with...
IF I ever get my act together.


(Although I have to confess...the other day my 13 year old
DID say "You ARE a cool Mom" after I did something...
cool apparently;-)
