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.

    Another cute DIY Christmas sign

    Here’s another easy DIY sign. I bought the car and truck at JoAnn’s and painted them. As I mentioned in a former post, the words are from the Dollar Tree. The board was from Home Depot and depending on size was no more than $1.50. God bless and have a good day. Read more

  • Another “almost free” quick Christmas gift idea

    Hubby and I traveled north this past weekend to a little town where we used to live. We wandered up and down the streets and in and out of the little stores. It’s so much more fun than malls. I miss how Christmas used to be: ……….dashing in and out of the stores, ……….with the… Read more

  • Another quick Christmas decorating idea

    This  year I wanted to use one of my favorite color combos for Christmas ideas in the kitchen, red and aqua. I had these mostly Coke bottles (one in middle is a vinaigrette I had already painted and distressed that I had used before. I had stored them away for future reference just because I… Read more

I had bought these words from the Dollar Tree as soon as they went on sale. I’m learning that you need to… Read more
