A new approach. I hope you like it.

Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.

So, what do you think?

Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.

Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?

Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.

If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

    My patio this year with my new roof on the pergola.

    We finally got a roof on our pergola. I love it. It means I can sit outside no matter how hot it gets and even if it rains. Except for the pergola and two new very inexpensive chairs, everything was bought at garage sales or thrift stores. It’s so much more fun that way. Read more

    Sometimes life offers up something that makes you giddy

    My husband and I were taking our walk the other day when we turned a corner and then I spotted it. I think my husband was trying to get my attention so I would be looking at him instead of said object because he knows me so well. Garbage pickin’ for “treasure” is one of… Read more

    My hubby is out of town this week. I knew I might experience loneliness so I thought, “Why not put into practice some of the ideas I have shared with you and some of the “tools” I have put in my soon-to-be-finished book. First of all, I got out of bed every day right on… Read more
