G is for …. Grrrr

Grrrr is pretty much how I spent my morning … trying to get my mouse to work … then trying to get my daughter’s mouse to work on my computer …. Now what are the odds that the batteries would be dead in both mouses (do we say mice for computer bits?) would be dead? And what would the odds be that the two batteries I pulled from the drawer were both dead? … and how pray tell did dead batteries get into the drawer when they should have been disposed of??? So I searched hi and low for another battery and voila … several frustrating hours later I can use my mouse …

Glasswing butterfly…have you ever seen one of these? Beautiful …and I do love butterflies … and such symbolism … metamorphosis … souls … spiritual evolution … If you want to see them … just Google Glasswing butterfly.

Google … where would I be with out this handy tool … want to know where to order Chinese food from… How to repair that squeaky gate… Find out what patients think of that specialist your doctor has referred you to … and anything else you could ever want to know or find out about … its part of my daily routine… I Google just about everything you can think of …

Grande… Before the advent of Starbucks, Grande was nonexistent in my vocab … now it’s a word used almost daily … gotta have my Grande non-fat triple latte …

Grateful … and I am … for everything… my life has never been perfect … no knight in shining armour … no white picket fence … yet I am grateful for everything … because I haven’t compromised and I have remained true to myself, despite some dire consequences.

Genuine … yup, this is me … the real deal … I don’t have a need to fabricate or embellish … I pretty much lay it all out on the table … I don’t always think that is a good thing but it is me.

Guilt … you know, I still feel guilty for wrongdoings I committed as a child … I don’t like making anyone feel bad … my adult motto has been “cause no harm” … I do try to abide by this but sometimes I lose focus, the tongue slips and I am back to feeling guilt for some awful deed.

Growing … every day … now if I could just stop my butt from growing … I kid … but trying to grow everyday … in some way … in my awareness … in my creativity … in spirituality … and in so many other ways …

Glad … favourite quote has this word in it … you might have noticed it on the sidebar of my blog … Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. Henry Van Dyke … so I strive for a state of “glad”

Grey … I associate this colour with depression … but it’s the new neutral … so here I going, trying to do a simple layout on a grey background … not bad … too bad I didn’t measure it all up and get it totally straight and perfect … but that’s not me and here I am … genuine even when I am scrapbooking …

I am playing Alphabe-Thursday with Jenny Matlock … for other Great "G" words; check out the McLinky links on her blog.

PS.........

Hard to believe but this photo was taken during the Olympics ... what can I say ... winter in Vancouver and wearing anything heavier than fleece would be too warm ... oh, and this is me in grey ... and Canada gear ... with Mom and DD ... Vancouver rocked the Olympics!
