Why am I blogging?

My daughter's smile is the lovely one you see above! I love to see people smile! Maybe that is why ...I like to capture smiles or snapshots of things that make others smile with my camera. I know we can't go through every minute of life with a smile but I hope that even when life is hard we can have a peace that others will notice and desire. My blog initially started as a way to honor my mom and her great outlook on life. She died in May 2010 from cancer. I don't think I can ever due justice to her life but I hope I can live my life in a way that would make her proud. The one other great privilege I have had is to be Carol Hensley Singletary's mother. She was our only child and she died suddenly on Feb .27, 2013. She was 19 years old. Her zest for life, her smile and her loving personna is missed by many, but none more than by her husband of just 6 months, Cooper. We carry on by grace and faith in God, and will look for any means to smile while we are left here on this earth for some reason by God. What I would give just to see the beautiful smile of my mom and daughter again! I know without a doubt I will someday, but until then I am going to try and praise my God and King in the life's good days and through life's pains. And i'm sharing here ...in hopes that you will smile with me. judy!

Here's What My Sister Thinks of Me

My dear sweet younger sister wrote this note on Facebook last year for my birthday.  I thought I would let you read it and see how well you think she did describing me after you have a few of my posts.  BTW..SIS.  if you are reading ..thank you again.  I thought I would let you 'speak' for yourself before I talk about you too much on my blog! LOL 
(one more note before her note....I had used the ABC list as a descriptor of myself at one time or another and so I think my sister modified it ) 

Enjoy (from Karen Smith)  about moi...

I guess I will keep my sister but thinking seriously about a discussion on the C, K , and Q descriptors.  This in turn will force me to post my poem about her at some date.  Now she has something to look forward to!! 

I hope that you have a sibling that is a go-to person for what ever you need in life like my sister Karen is to me.  If not, maybe a  friend is like that to you.  I thank God for blessing my life with Karen Good Smith.  She is a chip off the block (good of both mom, dad, and me!  ).
