Love........

"Success is waking up in the morning and bounding out of bed because there's something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that you're good at - something that's bigger than you are, and you can hardly wait to get at it again."

What is it that you love to do? Or maybe it's not a "something", but a "someone"................

The Seattle Mariners!!

Have I said that I LOVE BASEBALL????!!!! We decided to spend a beautiful Seattle evening at the Mariners' game last night. I was most excited to go watch Dustin Ackley play!!!! to find out that he was spending another game on the bench because of a minor injury. He is my FAV Mariner, so I was very sad.... (can I get an "Awwwwwwww!!!") I pouted the whole game and my hubby just laughed at me and said I was worse than a kid! But, I guess that means we'll have to go to another game....or two, darn it! Fister did an amazing job pitching for us and ended up pitching a complete game! The shot below of his pitching stats was taken right after he threw his very last pitch of the game! He did face one batter that should've had a 2-2 count on him, but there was a mistake on the count and they had him at a 3-2 count and the next ball resulted in a walk on an actual 3-2 count, and a walk against Fister. It was the only walk Fister had all night and that batter scored the only score of the game. Might have been a different ball game if the mistake had not been made... They need Kelly Baxter to sit in the dugout and scorekeep for them! HA! Of course, with all those ballplayers around me, I would probably be a little distracted........... Hope you are all enjoying your 4th of July weekend! Play safe!!!

52 Fridays, Week 24: "Growth"

When I was trying to decide what to do for this week's theme, I knew the perfect thing! A couple of years ago, I had gotten this really creative kit from a marketing/branding/design firm called "think2a". I've been holding on to it and often read it for inspiration. I think it's just the ticket for cultivating and growing your dreams..........

52 Fridays, Week 21: "Abstract"

I am playing catch-up this week, so this is last Friday's post. I didn't make it in the loop with the other gals, but I still wanted to challenge myself and get out there and try some abstract photography......... I've never tried this type of photography before, and I must say I had just a little bit of fun as it stretched my creativity. Hope you enjoy.........

52 Fridays, Week 20: "Flowers"

This week's theme of "flowers" was an easy one for me..... Every year I wait for the Cherry Blossoms to show their pretty pink flowers! They line the streets with their cotton candy color as if to say, "It is now officially Spring!" They seem to always know how to put a smile on my face...........
