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.

  • an alphabet of thanks “O”

    Choices (Photo credit: anyjazz65) Today’s choice was narrowed to “obvious”, “openness”, “organize” and “options”. I like things that are obvious. I don’t like playing guessing games with life. I like concrete answers. I like people that are open. I don’t like people that have an agenda, you never know where you stand with them. I like to organize-things, Read more

  • an alphabet of thanks “N”

    Steinlausweibchen, frei nach Loriot. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Today I’m thankful  for my naiveté. My family is always kidding my about how naïve I am about some things. For example, if a family member tells me something outlandish, (like there’s such a thing as a Michigan peacock) I’m very apt to believe them because of course, they Read more

  • an alphabet of thank, “M”

    Meals, manicure, most, miles, many, mangoes, mustard, manipulation, men, manly, manners. Today I’m thankful for “manly” men. What is that exactly? I’ll describe one I know intimately. A “manly” man is: A gentleman Well-mannered Kind Strong Well-groomed Tender Helpful Kind Funny Fun Adventurous Loving Lover Sensitive A “manly” man is not crude, vulgar, self-centered, self-serving, Read more

  • He set my foot upon a rock

    Well, don’t have much to report from doctor’s visit. Am having to get more blood work, back x-ray and then wear a heart monitor for twenty-four hours.. I really don’t expect anything to show up. I can continue with aspirin as needed for pain until the test results are back. Good news is that I can Read more

  • an alphabet of thanks, “L”

    “L”, “L”, “L”. What begins with “L”. Leopards, little, lazy, lop-sided, love, laps, luxury, lettuce,…….. Today I pick, nope, not love, way too easy. I pick “little”. We all have a different criteria for what we consider “little”. To me, it’s all those “little” moments in life. The first cup of coffee in the morning. The Read more

  • a doctor’s appointment

    Tomorrow is my annual physical. Or should I say my bi-annual physical. Actually, I rarely have a physical. I’m really not going for that anyway. I’m going because I’m tired of my body “attacking” me. That’s what these random shooting pains feel like. Like my body is “turning” on me. I began my own therapy Read more
