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.

    Wow! Yes, I’ve seen my name in lights. I had a book -signing on a recent Monday night at a library. They even had a marquee with my name in lights. it’s kind of hard to read because I needed a real camera to filter out the glare of the flashing lights. There was good Read more

  • What a bargain sweater haul and only .25 apiece.

    What a bargain sweater haul I made on my last trip to the mission store near our cabin. This picture is of my she-shed. The cabin is to the left. I’ve been getting books there for ten cents apiece for ages now. Again, I share them with friends and family.. Last week they were selling Read more

    Establishing boundaries is good and why you should.

    People disappoint us just like we disappoint them. But when the disappointment becomes chronic and we are feeling “used”, what do we do? Read more

  • A most unusual garage sale find

    1.The first “find” I found the most unusual garage sale item a few weekends ago. As I was leaving I found this in their discarded pile of wood. To say I was thrilled is an understatement. I love pieces like this. I have no idea what it is but I knew it would look great Read more
