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.

  • It’s All Good. Really?

    It’s All Good For many Melt Down Mondays, I will be focusing on jargon I hear all the time that drive me nuts. Today is one such Monday. I hear this sentence being used a lot. I keep trying to figure out what people mean when they this. I mean I get it when it’s Read more

  • Help! An envy worm has shown up

    Today I encountered a new “worm”. Or should I say an old “worm” that just hadn’t shown its head for quite a while. The worm that’s eating my apple today is comparison and envy. Our moods can easily plummet when we let our guard down even a little. I’m having  a perfectly wonderful day. Hubby Read more

  • hang up, PLEASE!!!

    hang up, PLEASE!!!!! If I don’t know you, do I really care about your personal business? I’m so sick of people talking on their “cells” and divulging information I couldn’t care less about. I was at the dentist’s office last week.  A young woman was on her cell phone discussing some sort of financial problem Read more

    how to handle doubts as a Christian

    I sure am glad my last post was about grace because today I’m feelin’ the lack of it.  Doesn’t mean it isn’t there.  God’s grace probably shines on us more often than we realize. Do you ever have days like that?  Days when you’re feeling “unsettled”, not quite “with it”. It’s usually days like that I Read more

  • art is more than just talent

    ttp://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/06/27/daily-prompt-art/  art is more than just talent I love art. Love looking at it, love making it. I wouldn’t call myself an artist although others might. I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve been to the Louvre in Paris a few times. The Musee de Orsay is wonderful, too. I actually like de Orsay better as it Read more
