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.

pacing ourselves (or how to quit running)
One of my biggest challenges is learning to pace myself. I used to think I was one of few people with this problem. But just about every person I know suffers from the same dis-ease. I write it that way, dis-ease, because it really is a case of not being at–ease with ourselves. But pacing is not… Read more

Live “less than” when you can
Death is truly the great equalizer of men. Sometimes, when I look at all my “stuff” I think about this. Sure, I enjoy it. And God certainly has no problem with wealth (not mine but wealth in general 🙂 ) as evidenced by King David, Solomon, Abraham and others. God often blesses His children materially. And… Read more

Baby steps to recovery from depression
I love what Mahatma Gandhi said, (I may be a Christian but I don’t have a problem with learning from those who profess their faith differently.) This cycle of thinking, speaking, and doing is the same cycle that if out of sync must be restored to harmony in a depressive episode. If even one of them is damaged by depression, all the… Read more

Is 2015 going to be the samo’ samo’ for you?
January is a great month. At least I think it is. I know we can start anew anytime we want, but January seems such a perfect time. In Michigan the days are long and cold and dreary for the next two months. Unless you ski, which I would like to but can’t, it is a… Read more

Another pallet board project for Christmas
I mean I realize I could be getting boring at this point but I really worked hard this Christmas and I’m determined to post my pics. Loved making these signs. I made four of them. The first two are really rustic and distressed. A dear friend is re-modeling some bedrooms and I know she loves… Read more

More Christmas gifts and home decorations
I’ve had these three Santa faces for years. I’ve use them all kinds of ways but always felt they lacked the impact I wanted them to have. So-o-o-o-o, because this has been a “pallet” year, I thought why not mount them all together and hang them on the wall. I added the burlap bow to… Read more
