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.

    thinking of spring and my new pergola

    I can’t believe I haven’t posted pictures of the pergola my husband and built this past summer. Seeing as I’m feeling pretty stressed out now, thinking of sitting under my pergola as soon as spring hits just thrills me. I can just feel the stressing oozing out of me as I lay on my beautiful… Read more

    Week in review/Sat re-cap

    Finally, the sun is shining and the snow isn’t blowing and drifting. I’m leaving the house! Heading to Wal-Mart to find some knit fabric to make the adorable cocoon wraps that are showing up everywhere. Then heading to Dollar Tree to buy some white dinnerware as yesterday my grandaughter, her friend, and I engaged in some… Read more

  • I think I can, I think I can. I KNOW I can.

    I think I can, I think I can. I KNOW I can.

    I think part of the problem in keeping resolutions is taking the time to really thinking them through. Most resolutions are no more than “wishes”, which isn’t a bad thing but without a well thought out plan even our wishes won’t come true.  Resolution keeping should be based on sound strategy. Sometimes we sabotage ourselves before we even begin.… Read more

    Every problem has a expiration date!

    I like the title of this post. It’s a better way of saying that problems don’t last forever. God bless and I hope you have a good day. Read more
