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.

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

  • Alphabet of thanks, “T”

    I always knew that “T” was going to be “travel”  just like I always knew that “P” was going to be (Pinterest). Today I’m thankful for travel. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. About fifteen years ago, the company my husband worked for was being sold. He had worked for the corporate office (in Georgia) on… Read more

  • Alphabet of thankfulness, “S”

    Boy, there are a lot of words that start with “S”. I’m in a quandary-which to pick, which to pick. I love scenic spots. That would include Scotland.  I’m thankful for sensitivity in people.  I enjoy sermons. I like silence. I like smooth and soft things. I love the sun and spicy foods.  I’m thankful… Read more

  • Thankfulness, “Q”

    (I’m re-posting this from last year with some slight changes.) Today I am thankful for quiet. (Quiet doesn’t necessarily mean lack of noise. We can be quiet within even when it’s noisy around us. But for this post, I’m referring to quiet as the lack of noise.) I’m not one of those people who need… Read more

  • Alphabet of thankfulness, “O”

    I like options and I’m thankful that for the most part, I usually do have them. In fact, I’m a firm believer that we are always making choices about just about everything. In fact, I’ve written often about options and how we have far more of them than we think. We have options as to… Read more

  • When we don’t have a clue

    30(I’ve been taking part in the post a day marathon through WordPress. I’ve been going through the alphabet and giving thanks using a letter a day. But I’ve missed my normal posting so I thought I would add another one.) My last couple of weeks have been stressful because I’ve been perplexed by some situations.… Read more
