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.

  • what a day

    This has been quite a day. Actually, quite a couple of days. Remember my sad story about my Ford Taurus?  Well, yesterday, the “junk car people” came and picked it up. I was sad. No, really, I was sad. That car had served me well for eighteen years. Not once it ever stall on me. Read more

  • a strange and holy hush

    The title of my post  today is from a little  book called “Interludes” by Linda Anderson.

I really like the phrase, “a strange and holy hush”.  I have the TV turned off, of Read more

  • the never-ending project

    For some reason this posted from my phone. So forgive me for posting again. Plus, it posted to the wrong blog.  Anyway, this door is never going to get done. We’ve sanded and painted once already. But when we got to the scraping off the paint, it came off and revealed the white paint underneath. Read more

  • a never-ending project

    For some reason this posted from my phone. I don’t have that whole transfer just the pictures to my  Word Press account figured out yet. So forgive me for posting again. Plus, it posted to the wrong blog so I will be posting this DIY to “theworminmyapple.com” as well. Anyway, this door is never going to get Read more

  • I blew it

    As you know from former posts, I’m the primary caregiver for my eight-nine year old mother. She is a remarkable woman but she has the uncanny ability to get under my skin like no one else.  Mostly because I’m stressed out with the many facets of her care.  I have a brother who lives with Read more
