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.

  • One born every minute

    Ok, so I’m watching a news show this morning and there was a news spot about these young women who purchased “designer” wedding dresses at ridiculously low prices.

  • Prayer or worry?

    I was sitting in church Sunday and all of a sudden I felt compelled to write some thoughts. (I know I should have been taking sermon notes.) There were some worries distracting me that morning. It seemed as though God had a comeuppance for me. Here’s what was impressed on my heart that morning about my worrying: Read more

  • Great finds.

    Went to a cool store a couple of days ago and snapped some pics. Love the colors. I’m thinking of incorporating the blue/orange theme. What do you think of the hillbilly glasses! Those would be great for a party and then peel off the red plastic cup. Anyway, enjoy your Friday. Discover more from goodthoughtsgoodlives Read more

  • broken shells, broken people

    I love “treasure-hunting” for shells. That’s what it feels like to me. With every wave, I get excited wondering what I’ll find. I always hope for the unique. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes not. But it’s the thrill of the hunt not what I find. As you know we’ve been on vacation. Today we went to Read more
