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.

    A daffodil in defiance and a lesson to be learned.

    Sometimes the most innocuous “something” can trigger a lesson we can learn. For some reason, I am always noticing flowers that grow like in sidewalk cracks, road cracks, places they shouldn’t grow. I always see it as some sort of message from God to me. My husband and I were taking our morning walk and… Read more

    What a beautiful thing to see. A barn wedding.

    I regret my wedding day. Oh, not the getting married part. Marrying my husband was absolutely the best thing I’ve ever done. We are so in tune with each other we can complete each other’s sentences. And yet we still manage to surprise each other now and then. We have been blessed. It was the… Read more
