What’s Your 1st Sentence?
Today’s prompt was:
You’re writing your autobiography.
What’s your opening sentence?
“I want to die with all my marbles intact!”
Yesterday my friend, Keri, brought her one-year-old Boston Terrier over for a playday with our pup, Kenny. Watching those two play, I knew for a fact that play is an essential part of life. If I want to keep all my marbles right up to the last day of my life on earth, I have to do as Kenny and Livvy did: play together and refresh together, too!
What else is important if I want to keep all my marbles?
Reading! Learning!!
While the pups were playing,
Keri and I chatted about our lives.
She shared that she has a 93 year-old dad.
He is a voracious reader.
He’s got all his marbles intact and shining!
What a gift, huh?
That’s what that CJ Box book is: a gift!
We received it in the mail yesterday
from our Bonus daughter, Elaina.
My husband, Bob, age 86, also is
a voracious reader.
He’s read every CJ Box book there is…
and this is the latest. Just out! Just here.
Bob can hardly wait to dig into it!
What else is important for a long, sparkling, coherent life?
Stay connected!
Connected to what?
If you know me,
you know I was gonna
take this message to God,
His Word, and the Holy Spirit!
Yup, therein lies the secret…
Make sure it’s not a well-kept one!!
Share your love…
Share God’s love in you…
Share the Holy Spirit’s Wisdom in you…
PLAY, REFRESH, READ, STAY CONNECTED.
May you LIVE LONG
and
Keep all your marbles intact and sparkling!
What would the first sentence of your autobiography say?
Love,
JanBeek
A Fruitful Phase
Describe a phase in life that was especially fruitful
I’d rather focus on the fruitful periods rather than the difficult ones if I’m looking back in my life, wouldn’t you?
Our pup, Kenny, is growing and learning day by day.
Remember the good times. Cherish them! And resolve to make more of them!
Love,
JanBeek
Advice
What advice would you give to your teenage self?
Not just my teenage self, but myself always:
Greatest Gift
What is the greatest gift someone could give you?
Love
Love, joy, peace… the greatest of these is love.
Show love in your food preparation & presentation. Yummy dessert at The Fish Wife in Pacific Grove, CA last night.
The Red House Restaurant in Pacific Grove showed love this morning!
Bob shows his love to me every day. What a gift!
Bob’s older brother, Bill, gave the gift of love as he picked the oranges and squeezed fresh orange juice for our breakfast yesterday.
Thank God for the Internet! It allows us to share love with one another daily across the world!
Happy, peace-filled, love-filled New Year to you all. God Bless You🥰
Love,
JanBeek

Memorable Road Trip
Think back on your most memorable road trip.
I don’t have to think back
My most memorable road trip was in January this year 2024 … but now in Nov. 2024 is hard to beat!
Back in January, our son and daughter-in-law
loaned us their car for this trip.
We were so happy to be in
sunny California instead of home
In Montana right then … and the same is true now! We are happy to be in Switzerland on this Election Day ‘24 in the USA. It is so contentious there!
Back in January:
It was -23 and felt even colder with the windchill factor back home today. We were in Paso Robles, CA then with the sunny skies that were perfect for enjoyable wine tasting opportunities. The same is true now. Time with friends is what made that and this road trip so memorable, so special, so much fun!!
Wish you could have joined us!
Sculpterra Winery
was filled with amazing sculptures.
You would have oogled and ogled
just as I did!!
Bruce, our wine guide,
poured some delicious tastings for us.
This was one of my favorites.
As a retired beekeeper,
Bob was especially interested
in their display of honeybee products.
Meantime, back in Montana,
the cold spell continues …
and we’re grateful our road trip
doesn’t involve driving there right now.
If you’re in the pattern
of this Arctic storm
with its sun-zero temps,
Escape now!!
Come join us!
We didn’t mind the 80’s plus folks…
And we’re loving the 70’s weather here in Switzerland 🇨🇭
We’re young at heart!!
Love,
JanBeek
Reason to Celebrate
When you pray to God for a friend’s upcoming surgery and recovery and God responds by helping your friend to come through with flying colors, that’s definitely a reason to celebrate!
Daily writing prompt
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
God is so good!
David is evidence of answered prayers.
Can you imagine how happy we all were when we could see David looking so chipper?
Our prayers for David’s successful life are on-going.
Who’s the first person who comes to YOUR mind
when you think of “Successful?”
What reason do YOU have to celebrate?
Love,
JanBeek
