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.

    Not much to write on this dreary Monday morning except to say that I’ve been asking a lot of philosophical questions about my life. You know the kind:   Am I doing what I really want to do?   Is my life as full as I would like it to be?   Is there some big thing God… Read more

  • Big storm, no power. Now what?

    Major storms last night. The neighborhood is a mess. The power is out so what’s a girl to do? Especially when her plan included the use of electricity. It got me to thinking about the children I sponsor in third world countries. This is the norm for them.  Hot water? Wouldn’t they just love that?… Read more

    The best fiction book I’ve ever read

    I read more in the summer. Do you? I signed up at the library for the summer reading program. I was at my daughter’s last week-end and she told me about this book. She was reading a different one by the author, called “Beartown”. But she also had the other one so I read the first… Read more

    Grieving a loss by baking a birthday cake

    As you know from my earlier post, today was my mom’s birthday. I made this tiny cake for her and some cupcakes. I took a fresh rose and a cupcake to the cemetery and wished her Happy Birthday. I did today just as I said. I took the day for myself. As the day went… Read more

    What to do on a really tough day

    Today is a tough day. It’s my mom’s birthday. She died two months ago. I am going to visit the cemetery and wish her Happy Birthday. I’ve been dreading this moment. I had so hoped she would make it to this day but I didn’t want her to suffer either. So what am I doing… Read more

  • Monday morning “finds”

    Today’s treasures are really great. I collect old books and when I saw this one dated 1898, I had to have it.  Look at the date. That’s one of the reasons I like collecting old books. There is often a letter or a note stuck inside that someone forgot was there. I do it all… Read more
