my latest Etsy Favorite.

Etsy is just filled with so many talented people.

You see things you just don’t see anywhere else.

Take these little hats for example.

Happy Birthday to me from Sooty.

Imagine if you will Sooty playing Happy Birthday

to me on his xylophone.

Today I am 59 years old.   My mother always

told me to lie about my age. 

I never was very good at listening to her.

Saying the rosary is like chanting a mantra

over and over again...

it keeps the mind focused..

and helps you to stop thinking so much and ruminating

on the negative stuff the clogs your head.

My Grandma Braeger said the rosary constantly.

maybe I can be full of grace if I keep at it.

I stumble and fall over and over again.

I get back up over and over again...

only to stumble once more.

Happy September!
