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.

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

  • post Thanksgiving

    I hope you all had as nice and quiet Thanksgiving as I did. Mine was peaceful and relaxed. My mood was stable and upbeat the whole time. It was the first year I didn’t join the crazies at the mall on Black Friday. Instead my daughter and I went to her quaint little downtown area where Read more

  • floods of gratitude

    For the first twenty-six days in November I’ve been posting “an alphabet of thanks” on “theworminmyapple.com”- each day a different letter and a different “thanks”. You can go to theworminmyapple.com to read them if you’d like. Then this morning our interim pastor gave a sermon about thankfulness. He equated it to the banks of a river overflowing Read more

  • an alphabet of thanks “Z”

    Yes! I did it. This is it. Z Another tough one but I got it. It’s zone. I like being in the Zone. I’m truly thankful when I find myself the zone. For one thing, it means I’m practicing “flow”, that wonderful sate when time has no meaning. When the hours slip away because you’re Read more

  • an alphabet of thanks “Y”

    Today I’m grateful for Yesterdays. There’s something about the fact that I can’t change a yesterday. I can change my interpretation of yesterday but that’s about it. Not all my yesterdays have been wonderful. Not all my yesterdays have been awful. As the saying goes, “We all have something.” Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is opportunity.They Read more

  • an alphabet of thanks “X”

    Oh, my gosh. X. I had a hard time last year with this one but not as hard as this year. If I do this next year, I’m in big trouble. My husband suggested I use “x” as in boyfriends, spouses, etc. I wonder if he knows it’s “ex” not just “x”. Anyway, I went down Read more

  • an alphabet of thanks “W”

    (Somehow my alphabet wasn’t turning out on schedule so I’m having to post twice today so I end on the 26th as does the alphabet.  What can I say? It’s the holiday season. ) I’m so grateful for ” Wonder”. particularly the wonder of this Christmas season fast approaching. What is it about Christmas that Read more
