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.

  • sick and tired of congress and their egos

      Are you as sick and tired of Congress as I am? Actually, I don’t even have to ask. I don’t know anyone who feels otherwise. What job do you know where you can not show up and still get paid? What job do you know where “blah, blah, blah” sounds intelligent? What job do Read more

  • creativity and letting go

    This has been a tiring day. Got up early and headed to my mom’s. Husband cleaned out her shed and we hauled some drywall, insulation and some lumber back to our house. She had fixed “Chili Mac”(kind of like goulash) the day before but it didn’t turn out very good so I “doctored” it for Read more

  • the indisputable link between obedience and faith

    Last week I was going to post from my Oswald Chambers reading that day. Here is an excerpt. I encourage you to read all of it. I’m sure you can find it on line.   “…………………..All God’s revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience. …..Obey God in the thing He shows Read more

  • My great find

    What a great find. Would you believe I paid five bucks for this brand new rope pouf? Found the tray at same time. Looks great in LaCabinette. I never fail to find something great there. It’s in Cadillac, Mi. Live thrift shopping. Oh, the silver platters are from there as well. I got them at Read more

  • In outpatient surgery

    No, not me. Hubby. Routine colonoscopy and endoscopy.But as you know from earlier posts, (using my phone to post and “Link” not working. Search under hospital and I think you’ll find it.) nothing is routine where he’s concerned. I wasn’t worried till he said he was a little worried. When you are prone to depression, Read more

  • “junk car” heaven

    Today is a sad day for me. You probably know by now that I’m frugal. (Others would call me cheap.) I’ve mentioned my eighteen year-old car before but today’s news is very sad. Today it died. We knew it was sick but we had no idea it was dying. It wasn’t the engine or anything Read more
