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.

  • admitting my stupidity AGAIN

      OK. I hate to admit my stupidity again but here goes. I suppose all of you know all about the “featured image thingee”  on the Dashboard. Well, I’ve been blogging for about a year and half and have never had to use it before. I’ve used the media library for all my post pictures but… Read more

  • half-filled joy

    I’m a little “down” today. Not for any particular reason. Just an ongoing situation that I give too much thought to sometime. It centers around a person I love very much but who has never found a lot of happiness in this world. I would give anything to be able to gift-wrap happiness for them as they always… Read more

  • why I keep a cancer victim’s sewing box

    I’m posting today about a  little red sewing case. I’ve had this little case as long as I can remember. Probably from an estate or garage sale. I keep my gardening gloves in it. I often think I should get rid of it as I don’t really need it. Every time though, I think about its previous owner and why… Read more

  • lamp makeover

    Here’s a lamp I’ve been working on. I don’t have before pictures but it was a dull brown. I painted it red first. Then white. You can see some of the red coming through. Than I “washed” it with a walnut stain.   I sanded off some of the paint to expose the red paint… Read more

  • great find over the week-end

    Had to show you a great find from a garage sale over the week-end. It’s an antique oil can from Britain. The woman at the garage sale bought it about forty years ago and it was old then. What is fascinating is that the rust has produced no holes. Here’s another view. Here’s the embossed name… Read more
