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.

Did you ever have an epiphany at a most ordinary time on a most ordinary day doing the most ordinary thing? Read more

  • it gets complicated

    I was feeling all warm and cozy at what had been an unexpected epiphany a couple of days ago when with one phone call I found myself fighting for that freedom. Then  I realized something. Wow, another epiphany! I’m on a roll. Freedom to live our lives isn’t easily come by. Especially when you’ve been Read more

  • Melt-down Monday

    Well, I’m behind in this post. Should’ve gone out a couple of hours ago. I think you’ll understand why in a moment. We are at “Teeny Tiny Red Cabin”. We were having a wonderful time till Sat. night. My husband started feeling really sick. Because he has a history of heart problems, we didn’t want ignore Read more
