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.

    I am thankful today for “Creature Comforts”. They are different for everyone. For me,  “creature comforts” start in the morning with my first cup of coffee. I love love, love, my first cup of coffee. Straight up and black. No fancy Keurig coffee pot or little expensive tubs of coffee. Ask me how glad was… Read more

  • It’s ok to feel good about looking good

    Have you ever been to a function where you spent hours trying to find the right dress? The right shoes? It was for a late afternoon wedding so I wanted to dress appropriately. So let’s start with the shoes. After five foot surgeries, shoe shopping is a nightmare for me. I haven’t worn high-heeled shoes… Read more
