Reflecting, thinking, and thanking....
Sometimes I get a bit sentimental, and sometimes I over think Life!
I think it is because, I treasure and value it so very much!
I am very grateful for so very much!
I am very grateful for so very much!
I treasure my "true" and genuine friendships, I have and have had throughout my life.
It is the little things, like a funny little card you get for no reason...
It's the flowers you buy for yourself, just because they make you smile.
The thoughtful things people do for you, make for you, just because...
they simply want to.
The simple pleasures of a pretty vignette, that you can create, it makes you smile, just because you think it looks pretty and happy!
Again, the simple things.
I cherish my family, my husband, my boys, for loving me, and putting up with me...
I am not always easy!
{hey, but either are they}:)
{hey, but either are they}:)
I cherish my times with my Mom and sissie, and they too for putting up with me throughout the years.
You see, I wasn't the easiest kid by no means...
I would say I was a tad bit of a rebel....you wouldn't think that now would you?
Thank goodness I grew up!
And of course, my little lucy girl, who just loves NO matter what!
and of course, YOU!
my many blog friends that I have made. You come and read my antics, I show you crazy stuff sometimes.. and you stick with me!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
XO
Have a wonderful Saturday!
I will see you tomorrow night for the newbie party.

PS. I always thought it was "buck naked" :)
What a wonderful post Debbie!
YOU are very special to SO many of us in blogland! Hey, I've wondered the same thing...is it "Butt Naked" or "Buck Naked"?
Such a sweet post. Why wouldn't we stick around is the question - you are so sweet and have the best sense of humor!!!
I believe it is BUTT naked LOL! Thank you ladies. Have a great day.
Well said. Seems the older I get the more grateful I am for everything in my life. A reminder now and then is a good thing. Lovely post...and putting up with each other is a part of life. Happy Weekend Debbie! (I still miss your Newbie party.)
LoveLoveLove this, Debbie!

Thank you. For being genuine in a world of phonies.
If you haven't grown up yet, that's ok. I like you like you are.
A day without Debbie is dull! You are a true gem, sweetie.

You, a rebel? Really? I never would've guessed that. Your mom and sister are very pretty. It looks like you have a very loving and supportive family wich is the best thing you can have in life. It is the foundation of everything. A grateful heart is the best kind too.
Debbie , you must be the most kind blogger -you truly connect the most with your readers. Your post today is so heartwarming -you captured everything good in your life. Beautiiful picture of you with mom and sister. and of course the family :-) Love Lucy in her sun spot. I like the candles in the glass vase on your kitchen island and where did you get the light above your sink? I bet in the evening it casts such a pretty glow. --Kathy t
We are thankful for you Debbie! You truly make this blogging community such a fun and welcoming place and we think you are pretty special...and pretty! :-)

Debbie, I have been thinking about this very subject lately, and you've said it so beautifully.
I'm thankful to have met you through cyber space, appreciate your constant support, and remain a loyal friend. You're the only one left from my first round of alphabe-thursday.
Thank you for the lasting friendship!
Oh Debbie, you are such a sweet lady and such a precious friend to everyone in blogland. You are always so helpful, kind and you do some of the greatest posts. Thank you for making blogging so much fun. Hugs, Marty
Super sweet post! I do agree that having blogging friends is wonderful. Life is such a gift and to embrace each aspect of it brings such joy. I am so glad you have realized that at your young age! hugs, Linda
Thank you Kathy, I know you do not have a blog, because I do try to come over and comment:) The light over the sink came from Lowes a few years back..thanks for saying that, because I have been thinking about changing them out. They are pretty, and I will keep them as I love color.
i always thought it was butt naked myself.What a lovely post to wake up to .you put everything in great words .And you and Sissy have been the light of my life as far as that goes i would have not had it any other way.Oh thanks Girls for complements so nice of you all Hugs:)
Awwwwwe, Debbie, I love this post. It is so sincere and sweet. You sound a little like me. I've been a little blue this week and you have made my day. Thank you back bloggy friend. Have a wonderful weekend.
Great post, Debbie. You're still a rebel, but in a good way. lol Sometimes we take the simplest things for granted. I always try to acknowledge the people who bring joy to my life, and to be thankful for little pleasures.
What a sweet post! I think we all come here because you are the real deal my friend.
I LOVE this post, Debbie! I could not agree more! I have been sentimental these days too and often find myself over thinking life as well...you said it so perfectly! Thank you for this post!
Liesl :)
I think we all need to Thank you Debbie for what you do, what you say and who you are! Friends like you are a rare treasure.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Gail
Wow, how sweet are you! Thanks for tearing me up just a tad. I say buck naked? But it probably is butt naked?
I get sentimental too Debbie- I love coming by and reading your posts and thank you so much for being such a sweet friend!! Love this post- Happy Saturday!!(i'm thinking it's butt naked too!) lol!
I absolutely KNEW in my heart of hearts that you were a rebel! I can just tell you have that cocky streak in you-that's why I LOVE you!
I am one of those happy, grateful people, too. xo Diana
Thank you for saying this. And, yes, a time to look at our lives and see what's good is always a good thing.
Ya'll look so pretty.
I too was a rebel and umm I've almost grown up lol..
Luv ya bunches back~!
Your site and No Minimalist here were the first two blogs I screwed up courage to do a linky party. You two sounded so nice and I trusted you to understand if I screwed it up. I think that says it all! ~ Maureen
You difficult...who woulda thunk. Probably not any worse than I. Love that picture of the boys. And the one of the girls.. And the one of the pup in the sun. Here's the question, are you all still wearing summer clothes there like that....brrrrr....we've moved right into winter stuff here.
You are a treasure to all of us! :-)
I love that card...can't tell you how many I've sent. A rebel? No way! LOL I've always been one and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Beautiful post from a beautiful person ~
xo
Pat

Debbie
Aw, Debbie, you're so sweet and we love ya! I'll have to tell you, though, that in the South it's nekkid instead of naked!!!!
What a touching post this is Debbie. I don't think we ever take enough time to be happy over the basic simple pleasures in life, and this post with all the wonderful pictures and thoughts really touched my heart. Peggy
I love those cards... they always make me bust out laughing !!

Thank you Peggy, I was thinking of you too when I wrote this..you have been so kind to me, and giving, and you don't even have a blog or know me:) That means a lot. Thanks all of you!~ XO
Oh! Oh! Thank you for the follow! Wow! Every follower is a big thrill, and I'm so grateful for your support and everything you do for us raw, scared newbies. And yes! I'll be there for the Newbie party.
Shucks Debbie! We all love you back! You're an inspiration and a fun one!
I don't always comment but I am always amazed with what you do! We all appreciate you and thank-you for sharing your happy bubbly personality!
This post is so sweet of you, and it really shows your kind and generous heart. You started with that funny card ~ I vote for buck naked but BUTT makes more sense ~ then you started thanking us for being there for you. We all know it's the other way around. You do so much to encourage other bloggers. Every time you've replied to one of my questions, I've been amazed that you took the time to do that. You are the BEST.
Hi Debbie, What a sweet post...the picture of you, your mom and sister is just beautiful!
