So I was putting my daughter to bed and laying there thinking about this blog and what I really wanted to share or talk about.  While crafts are my passion and I love everything about it (because its my stress reliever) I realized there is so much more to well... LIFE!!  There are lots of things I would love to share like one of my favorite recipes or favorite quotes or just in general favorite things about LIFE and maybe even the not so favorite things.

The word LIFE can stand for many different things to each and every one of us and it can change so quickly, even in a flash, that I thought why limit what I want to talk about and post about.

My facebook groups (www.facebook.com/groups/head2urtoes/ and www.facebook.com/groups/crochetingwithcourtney/) focus on my crafts and love of them and while I may still mention them or share certain topics around them I would like to blog about some of the things that happen day to day.

So to begin with, I have updated the name of my blog to LIFE with Courtney and friends.  Note: You can find postings at lifewithcourtneyandfriends.blogspot.com.  Oops there came out the procedure writer in me!

When I look at words I tend to see acronyms and how they hold a much deeper meaning behind them.  For instance the word LIFE - today LIFE may stand for "Living In Fictional Episodes" and tomorrow it may be "Loving Intensely For Eternity"  or even "Learning Individual Formal Etiquette" or maybe "Locating Insane Family Extremists".   I have a few nuts in my family so I never know where the day may take me!

My point being is that while there are things that take up HUGE pieces of time from day to day in our lives that we don't want to start missing out on the little things because we are being slapped in the face well with LIFE!  

So for me, my goal for 2017 (these last 6 weeks in 2016 will be my practice weeks LOL) will be to take time and smell the roses or cherish the smile on a child's face when they have accomplished something and are proud.  Maybe its just taking the time to feel the cool breeze on your sweaty forehead on that hot summers day or standing back and admiring something you have accomplished by pouring your time and love into it.  Whatever it may be, lets cherish LIFE and all it stands for!  Its not always going to be happy and its not always going to be sad.  But there is no better time than now to hop on the roller coaster of LIFE and whether we will talk about it or get out there and do something new its time to hand the attendee our ticket and go for a ride!!
