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.

Dissatisfaction CAN be a good thing
(This is a revision of a much older post where I forgot to add tags, categories, etc. What can I say? I was a novice. 🙂 ) You all know how much I love our “teeny-tiny red cabin”. I’m at such peace when I’m there. God seems to meet me there in a special way.… Read more

Words = power. But what kind?
I have written often about the impact of our spoken words. Towards others, yes but as much to ourselves. Words contain power. They might be mankind’s most powerful tool. But what kind of power? Healthy power? Destructive power? I read a post recently from someone who suffers from depression. I suggested a couple of ideas. One was exercise,… Read more

negativity, a self-fulfilling prophecy
We can make ourselves and our mood miserable in any given moment by focusing on what’s wrong with a situation or a person. If we could focus on the right thing we’d feel so much better. But you say, “Right, but what if there isn’t anything good?” That’s rarely the case. In almost every situation there is plenty… Read more

Does everything happen for a reason?
Does everything happen for a reason? No, I don’t think so. (My daughter and I have had this conversation often. Neither one of us buy into it.) I think it’s what we tell ourselves when we can’t make sense of a situation. It’s what we say to console ourselves when there isn’t any reason. I think Christians are… Read more
