(Middle-child complex is my thought...)<br /><br />Pigeon-Toed Duck Waddle - I must have had that, too. It would explain all the tripping and stumbling I did this past year. But, I'm with you - and Paul - forgetting the past, I'm going to press forward.<br /><br />In 2011, my word for the year was DETERMINATION. As I look back, I realize that though I may have waddled, I waddled with determination. For 2012, I've picked OVERCOME as my word. I want my theme this year to be something more than just muddling through - I want God to empower me to overcome, to conquer, to vanquish. I expect to stumble, and sometimes fall, but I'm going to get up faster and learn how to CHARGE forward!<br /><br />More than conquerors (thank you for reminding me of that in a recent comment). Yes, I will be exploring this year what that means in the midst of *real life.*<br /><br />GOD BLESS, dear friend!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-61349853175926226102012-01-08T13:02:45.411-05:002012-01-08T13:02:45.411-05:00Brilliant!

I was also the baby of the family. <br /><br />The good thing about being old like me is that we don't have to play games anymore! No competitions. No themes, no words, no colors (yellow was always the one, and will always be!!) <br /><br />The best thing I did in 2011 was hire a cleaning lady!! Yep, that's the best recommendation I can give! Amazing how this solved many problems! LOL! My house wasn't that dirty, but the things I wasn't able to do because of physical problems was weighing on my mind.<br /><br />Happy New Year!

Not sure if it's the same game, but one person stands with their back to the others and calls out 1...2...3...RED LIGHT, in whatever speed they like. Everyone in the back may move forward until they hear red light and then they must freeze. If the caller sees movement in any of the creepy crawlers ;) she/he calls them out. Whoever reaches the caller, wins. Anywho, I always liked that game.<br />As far as new theme, well, you've seen my page--new theme, new name, new color. Theme...the name says it all--In Stillness and Simplicity. Color? Goodbye red and aqua (boo-hoo), hello pink. Have no clue how it has caught my eye again but it has. Done with the quest for popularity and "look at me" syndrome. It is exhausting!!! <br />K, enough from this rambler. hehehe Takes one to know one, huh. ;) <br />Love you lots.<br />Muah!!<br />Marcia<br />(Oh, and thank you for taking the time to update the URL.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-11161013651264242972012-01-06T08:24:34.866-05:002012-01-06T08:24:34.866-05:00Hi Debbie,

I'm the oldest, so I'm sure my sister thought I was bossy, although it's kind of the other way around now. :)<br /><br />I know what you mean about starting off with a bang, and limping to the finishing line. I feel like that was me, too. But you did some seriously awesome projects this year. I am so impressed with all the furniture you refinished, and your new dining room looks fantastic. As I recall, you did some serious de-cluttering, too. I don't have the energy or the nerves of steel required to have a yard sale. :)<br /><br />I so appreciate your kind inquiries about my dad. I can't tell you how much that means to me. He was in ICU for almost a week, but as of yesterday, he was doing great. Prayers have been answered.<br /><br />Hope you have a great week!<br /><br />BTW, that is the CUTEST playhouse in your photo! Did your parents build that? I've never seen one like it.<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2012/01/pretty-in-plaid.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-19491164141904175362012-01-06T06:49:40.365-05:002012-01-06T06:49:40.365-05:00What a fun post!

As the firstborn, I was usually the boss, and my siblings STILL look to me when we're (all too rarely) together to decide where we're going for dinner AND they automatically yield the front seat to me. (I trained them well, huh?)

Yet, I am so thankful for modern medicine and the machines that have been invented to help us detect those awful things that invade our bodies. I have been to see a great doctor for a second opinion and he has set me up with a surgeon at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia (one of the best, I've been told) for an evaluation next week. Thank you so much for your prayers...I can feel them all around me. I will keep you posted but at this point I just cannot blog about it - maybe later on I will be able to do so.<br /><br />L,<br />JeanMs.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409193538202128355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-16722181239201825492012-01-05T18:25:18.834-05:002012-01-05T18:25:18.834-05:00I know you can hear me chuckling out loud to mysel...I know you can hear me chuckling out loud to myself as I read this.<br /><br />I'm immediately back at 270 South Parkwood in Pasadena, California, and we are 'mother may i-ing' on the front lawn.

(helicopter, scissor, ballerina etc) I haven't seen that picture in a LONG time. You were quite cute indeed. I, however, seem to have some problems with my hair. Apparently I still do.<br /><br />As you well know, I've never had a color or theme. I'm guessing God gifted you with words because he knew you'd have a blog someday. I do so enjoy your colors and themes. Perhaps I should give this idea some thought for 2012.<br /><br />Loved this post. I really laughed out loud at your wit. Glad to have you post again.<br /><br />I could tell your color and theme, but I won't be the spoiler!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303538256011330795noreply@blogger.com
