The Heart's Music Can Heal

  Hi Stephen,    Hope you're having a good day.  Had a job interview today that I missed last week.     I think I'll stick to sharing my Art Instructor job with "My Active" reservation job.    Although the job interview today is a nice place with a nice cause, it's commission Insurance for teachers and unions, about sixty hours a week and lots of traveling.   It wont work with my painting class, ware and tare on my car would be great, plus "My Active" pays hourly, home office time, so no travel time.   So after I got home I took a picture of myself to post to Facebook. I'm done with selfies.  If I take another one, it will be when I'm down to my desired weight and only for you.    It's nice today, I think spring is coming early this year.  I know I say this now right?    Sure hope and pray everyone is ok and you are fine.  Miss you always.    I'm thinking of getting a pop-up camper this year, to go camping this year, be cool. Come

Hi Stephen   Nothing real exciting going on here, just same ol, same ol.  I just wanted to share some relaxing and soothing music with you.  Hope and pray all is well, love and prayers to you all, mostly for you! Sally What I did for class while you where having that bad snow storm.  I am still adding to it

   So glad the weather is nice, so I can work off that Valentines candy the kids and I shared.  They burn it off real quick, me, the pounds on me, stick around and take residence..ugh.  I know I strayed off my diet, but darn it, I have to admit, Chocolate is my down fall, unfortunately.     I had to do another party at Michael's, this time it was nine girls, about seven.  One girl just kept on painting and painting..that was slightly nerve racking.  Debra told me that one girl that worked there always did it and was setting up when I got there..I thought..that is cool they found someone,but she had to run the cash register.  Anyway, this girl was afraid I was taking over her job doing birthday parties.  I though..no, no, no.  Give me painting class any day.  (which is number 1 for our store) I love children, dearly do, but Stephen, birthday parties are something else,  I will gladly turn the parties over to her, anytime and twice on Saturday with my blessings!    I've got

  Even though it's a snow overload this morning, wind is blowing and cold, hope my VALENTINE'S Day wish will keep you warm and loved.       For you Stephen, you have a beautiful day filled with happiness, overfilling, this I am sending you.   Love you and if I could I would hold you against all the conflicts of the day.  Always the sweetest kisses Please stay safe Schizz darling one! Sally

     I'm so sorry, you are getting another round of that four letter stuff again, Stephen.      Like New England was " Snow Poor".  I'm thinking and praying for you all up there Schizz, please,please be careful.  Hope you guys have enough supplies and staying warm.    Hate to say that here in Ohio we have escaped a lot of it.  Just plain weird weather.      I got called into Michael's over the weekend to do "Kids Club" and a Birthday Party for nine girls.  That was an experience.  I had to help them make three crafts.  Boy was nervous, but did pretty good for the first time.    So I got nominated to do it next Saturday from 2-4pm.     Yesterday, my sisters and I started planning Jonathan's graduation.     Tonight I have a painting class to teach, Free Landscape , they are doing away with the paid classes now.  They will pay the instructors extra if they have eight or more in the class, otherwise it's 8.10 an hour and that is two hours at th

    Been thinking about you all out there in Amesbury,MA Schizz.     It's no fun digging out of such an enormous amount of snow.     We got off pretty easy, although I did have trouble finding my way to my first interview at the insurance place, like a big dummy , I read the address wrong and the snow was coming down pretty good.    I wrote the place on my phone to apologize and went home, it stopped snowing.    I thought I'd read and study the directions to my next interview only to have my house key break off inside the lock on the front door.  I didn't the bolt key on me and I couldn't leave the house unlocked.  Now this happened as I was trying to unlock the door to get in.   I thought ," Oh great, I'm going to have to climb in the window.   You know how you do just to test something. I pushed on the door in retaliation and even the the knob was stationary, the door came open.   I was so disappointed, I guess I wasn't meant to go to either place.

  Oh yeah, The New England Patriots do it again, hitting the fifth mark.  While that is awesome and I like The Pats very much...being a devoted Cleveland Browns fan... Am I bitter?...well a little considering it was a former Cleveland Browns coach that has taken The Patriots to the Superbowl five times and winning it five times.....oh that could have been The Browns and The North Coast celebrating instead of The Patriots and The East Coast celebrating.   Thanks Art😏😕..OK well it goes both ways I guess.        I know New England is going or is starting to get slammed with more winter snow       So Stephen and everyone please be careful and stay safe, especially you Schizz Love and prayers Sally

Hi Stephen,           You know me, always the last to find things out Anthony Schissel.  Wanted to tell you gosh congratulations on being a Medical Director. That is a very challenging and rewarding accomplishment.    Very proud. I am sorry it's taken me so long to say it. I just discovered it just today after I blogged earlier. I feel so selfish in not finding this out before, so Congratulations again with a big hug for ya.   Because of how miserable I've been feeling lately, I wanted to blog this in another writing but since I know this is one of your hobbies I last knew about and very honored to say it will be ten years in August since I first met you.  I don't ever forget how special you became to me since that day.    Anyway, dad has started me on a Scroll saw and has given me patterns to make wood crafts. I was kinda floored. I guess he was talking to mom about it.   This past Sunday , he spend explaining the woods, types of glues and techniques but most of all

   Just wanted to say hello and tell everyone that I am thinking and Praying for you Schizz and your family.    Yes, I've been sad and sick these past few days..weeks I guess.  Been having extreme pain...I know what it is though, nothing big , at least I don't think it is. Feels like a kidney stone.    Going to tough it out here at Worthington Arms for awhile longer.   Going to be a great aunt again, Carianne is tickled that Randy and Julie are having a little girl.  Brendan will have to get used to a little sister.    I do hope everything and everyone is doing fine and you are keeping yourself ok.   Wish I can be a more cheerful sounding.    Have a painting class on sister's birthday.  I have two interviews for jobs on Thursday, one is marketing the other is for an insurance company that caters to union families.  I'm actually hoping for that because it's just about little over fifteen minutes from here on 23, near 270.    You take care, love to everyone, a d

     I have sat in the doctor's office over a hundred times in my lifetime, I'm sure.      The best doctors are the ones that really pay attention to what you are saying to them.    I have had ones sit there and write without uttering only a few times and by the time they are done with you , you don't feel any better than when I went in.    It is agreed that since my husband's death, I haven't dated at all.  Ten years have gone by and I feel like , I'm not any better than the day I became single again.           It would be nice to feel a rewarding connection with someone special again.  Will I ever again.  I'll be sad, thinking ,well   " Only If You Were Listening DOC "

   1959 marked a defining moment in rock history as one plane crash took three young stars lives.    Fifty eight years ago today, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper were killed in a single engine plane crash at Clear Lake, Iowa.    Many movies were made over the years portraying these young legends as were songs.    The picture of the lobby on The Eagles "Hotel California" was said to be the place the three musicians had played.   The rock group out of Great Britain "The Hollies" named themselves after Buddy Holly. And of course, Don McClain s "American Pie" was written by the singer from history experience being a paperboy at the time of the crash.   I have to admit, " American Pie" wasn't my favorite song growing up because the song seemed to go on forever.  How fitting that statement is now that I'm older and understand what significance it has in rock and roll history.   It is history what these three men inspired
