My friend Debra at Common Ground
hosts a wonderful weekly party,
Vintage Inspiration Friday....
I didn't think I'd be participating this week,
what with packing and moving, as well
as working 12 hour shifts today and tomorrow at ye olde coal mine.
But it hit me on the drive home tonight
just what inspires me the most these days...
all of YOU.
You lift me up
You make me laugh
You pray with me and for me
You challenge me
You truly do help me to be a better person.
That's all.
I just thought y'all should know that.
:-)

Hello Anne... oooh, I had a comment all ready to go, and it kicked me off... maybe someone is telling me to go do my dishes and quit looking at blogs... tee hee hee... YOU are inspiring sweet lady, but not vintage!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteAnne you inspire me also!
ReplyDeleteAw...little Annie! Dear One, you are the inspiration and I'm so glad I walked into that Antique mall in Kerrville and the lady at the front gave me your card and told me you were a blogger! :) With all your hours of work and packing and unpacking - I hope you get some rest too.
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Back at ya kiddo! I'm sure you can't wait till you are all moved in! I know I can't wait to see it all!
ReplyDeleteJody
Isn't it so great how we all inspire each other? I just can't believe my luck of stumbling upon so many fantastic people's blogs that inspire me daily also. And Anne, you're definitely one of them! smooches!
ReplyDeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteSo thrilled that you will be in your new home for the holidays! Thank YOU for inspiring me.
Your Friend,
Deborah
Awwww thanks :) - What is funny is that I look at your photos for inspiration and they are never lacking on that! Have fun with the moving ~ make sure to laugh about that too.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, You are such an inspiration to all of us! How great to be moving into your new home. I know the packing and actual moving is no fun but you will have a great time decorating.

Anne, I think we all inspire each other. Don't you? I love all my blog friends. I get so much inspiration and wonderful ideas from reading blogs. The problem is, there are just not enough hours in the day to do all the things I read about. Have a great weekend. Love & blessings from NC!

Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteLovin' that "hand" dish, you've got some of the coolest stuff. Oh to be young enough, and mobile enough to work 12 hour days.......
Oddly enough, I envy your ability to still work like that. I haven't been that mobile since 1998, and disabled since 2003. Your ability to work is a blessing in disguise, however, please don't kill yourself by overdoing it. Never take your body for granted, and please be kinder to yourself.
Hugs and Happy Holiday thoughts to you,
Meri
That is because we love you and the inspiration you give us!!!!!!!!!!Thank you:)

ReplyDeleteI was just over at Debra's & had a wonderful visiy admiring her jewelery!
ReplyDeleteYou totally do the same for us Anne! Pretty cool how we can all come together here isn't it! Even if my husband thinks I am nuts when I talk about my FRIENDS that I have never met :)
Happy weekend Anne, don't work too hard, 12 hour shifts don't sound too fun...but we do what we have to right! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteSweet words Anne and right back at you. You are such a lovely and gracious blogger~ thanks for being you! ;)
