Five Minute Friday: "Every Day......"

Today I'm linking up to Lisa-Jo aka the gypsy mama, who chooses a topic every Friday and writes for five minutes.

Only five minutes

And the rule is that whatever you write about in that five minutes is what you posts. No editing your thoughts. Today, her topic choice is "Every Day....."

Ready. Set. Go......

Every day is like turning the page, starting over, hoping for a new start. It really is something that should be fairly easy, yet it can be so hard all at the same time.

The weight of the world can be a heavy burden to carry at times, and can cloud our vision. We put our trust in people, or what people tell us and when they come out of no where and suddenly change your plan....it can be hard to move on. But each new day is a chance to change the hard things, the things that should not be hindering us, it is like a new chapter, the old turned away and the new in front of us.

We deal with so many different people in out lives, and each one can either lift you up or send you struggling just to stay on the path. Each day gives us a chance to evaluate the ones that should not be on the path we are on and each day provides us a chance to make the days ahead so much better.

We have to make the decision to move on and let the past go. Forgive the ones who have wronged us, forgive the ones who has caused so much stress and undo unrest in our hearts, forgive the ones who make irresponsible decisions that effect others without even a thought......you will meet these types of people Every Day.....but it is the promise of a new day and a new chance to make things better that is uplifting even in the darkest of times.

Every Day is a gift. Every Day is a chance to put your mark on the world. Every Day is a chance to forget and let the past go and move forward. Every Day.....so many new possibilities.

Stop. Boy.....this feels like a lot of rambling....but I won't reread until I hit publish....the rules you know!!!

Vintage Thingie Thursday:

Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday. If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a "dog-gone" good time each and every week!!!
If you are new to this party, please take the time to read and follow the instructions for participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday, click HERE. I try and keep things fairly simple, so  please make sure you follow the instructions. Please only ONE link per week.  

Lastly, if you link in, your post needs to include:

1. the LINK back to my blog and or the button for Vintage Thingie Thursday. I have been visiting lately and when I click on a link, there is no mention of Vintage Thingie Thursday or my blog. 

2. make sure your post has something to do with something vintage. All advertisements will be deleted. If you'd like to advertise on my blog, email me, we can work that out. No more free advertising by linking in.  Shame on those who do this, nothing is free in life.

Starting this month, if you fail to either have the button on your blog, or in your blog post and/or have not linked back to my blog in your post. I will delete your link. 

It is not fair to those who follow the rules to allow others not to do so. I am not being ugly, but rules are rules.....in all aspects of life. So if you find your link removed, check your post, you need to see why that happened. Hopefully, I won't have to do that.

I love red kitchen gadgets. I especially love them if they belonged to a family member.

This is a great red kitchen flour sifter that my father in law gave us years ago. I love the wooden handle, the flower and the bright colors of the sifter! It is a real gem.

I found this picture of this dog not long ago and saved it to my computer. I remember as a young girl, I had a pillow made out of squares of fabric, and if I remember correctly, the fabric was double knit! I had that pillow for a long time, but don't know what ever happened to it. I felt inspired to maybe make one from the left over squares I have from my Begging quilt Project.

And yes.....I have really been working on that quilt and have more blocks done! I will be showing that soon!! Have a great weekend!!
Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday!!!
