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.

  • McDonalds is ok with me

    My husband and I just saw a commercial about McDonald’s and a conversation ensued     about the bad press McDonald’s gets for its unhealthy food. You should know we rarely eat at McDonald’s but every once in awhile I have to have their fish sandwich, fat calories and all. And frankly, their iced coffee beats Starbucks Read more

  • bedroom reno’

    I made these bird pictures for my recently renovated spare bedroom. I really like how they turned out.  Didn’t cost me anything other than the pictures which I think I paid about $3.00 total.  Will include more of this bedroom re-do in future. It turned out even better than I thought. I purchased these pictures Read more

  • Solomon’s wisdom

    I’ve been reading about King Solomon this week.How he asked God for wisdom and how God granted his request. So why did the wisest man in the world have such a fall from grace? If you’re that smart, wouldn’t you think you’d avoid the obvious pitfalls? Wouldn’t you think you’d pay attention to what God 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. Than I realized something. (You can read it at “depressionsgift.com” for May 3oth. I’m not sure whether it’s considered ok to give yourself a Read more

  • garage sale bonanza

    Today was garage sales. Thought I’d share some treasures with you. These are four heavy wood placemats I got for $1.00 for all four. They were metallic gold abeit a little scratched so because I always have metallic spray paint sitting around, I gave them a very light coat. They are wonderful. After I took Read more

    What is the real freedom of letting others just “be”?

    What is the real freedom of letting others just “be?”? It’s amazingly freeing. The confusion that arises when people confuse us. Did you ever have an epiphany at a most ordinary time on a most ordinary day? When you’re doing the most ordinary thing? (Actually, when I think about it, that’s when all my epiphanies Read more
