Be The Happy in Someone Else's Life Today. I'm...

Be The Happy in Someone Else's Life Today. I'm seeking to be the happy in another's life today. Praying to be a sparkle for someone to see, to lift their spirits, to make sense of some chaotic unexpected turn they face. Less of me and more of Thee, Oh, Lord.... Continue reading

I started putting out birdseed in hopes of attracting some Cardinals with sunflower seeds. I put a mix in another feeder which attracts a bevy of sparrows. Yesterday as I searched for ways to get my body comfy and Hubby had heated up four rice-filled socks to strategically place on... Continue reading

Be Yourself, but be like Hur

I wanna be like _______. Fill in the blank. People want to imitate, emulate. To be someone they are not. But, we are who we are. We can all change, become better. I like being me, most days. I don't know who else to be. But I sure would like... Continue reading

Learning to Live in a Piecemeal World

It's twenty past noon and I just finished successfully cleaning a toilet and the main bathroom sink. That may not sound like much, but I'm feeling a tad bit proud. Four minutes into the chore, my back yelled at me to go sit down. So I did, for three minutes,... Continue reading

A Tiny Disaster, Or More Like a Blunder

Yeah; it seems to happen every time I try to do something. This time is was my bathroom window. It screamed to be cleaned. Well, actually, all my windows are screaming. I've yet to find someone willing to quell their screeching. I'd do it myself if not for my back... Continue reading

C' EST LA VIE ...THAT'S LIFE! OR IS IT?

It's French. A little phrase we often hear when folks resign themselves to what is--that moment of accepting life and circumstances surrounding their plights as normal and without recourse. The laundry's never done. You get your bills all paid, the washer breaks down. You plan a date night and as... Continue reading

Comfort in Yesterday

Don't know why. But photos like this seem comforting to me. Perhaps it is because it is a link with my past and good things like churning butter on Grandma's back porch, and chasing kittens around the barn... I just don't know. but thought I'd share this one with you....... Continue reading

I Finally Bought a New Laptop

My ACER laptop was hacked. The hacker attached a keystroke monitor that actually breached my password box so I couldn't even change that. It was so infected with viruses, I wouldn't use it even if I had it bleached and refurbished. Why do people hack little old ladies' computers? What... Continue reading

Courage in Trial

"Be of good courage, and HE shall strengthen your heart, all ye who hope in the LORD." Psalm 31:24 "Good" courage as opposed to "bad" courage-- courage based on self-reliance, self-aggrandizement. Our courage can be wrapped in, soaked in, and... Continue reading

What Happens To Our Prayers

Would you like to see what happens to your prayers? Would you like to know how successful your petitions of intercession are? Do you ever wonder if what you ask of God is heard? acted upon? answered? If you do not have confirmation, do you tend to relax the fervor... Continue reading

It's One of Those Nights

You know the one--wide awake at midnight. It's when sleep is just far enough beyond your mind's grasp that it cannot hold onto it. And so, you think. Your mind wanders down paths of yesterday, where regrets are hidden in silly memories--where losses crowd your thoughts with sadness. You long... Continue reading

Worth Remembering, Are You?

SHE WROTE: "Unless you are famous and put into the history books, it doesn't matter at all how awesome you are or aren't. You have at best 2-3 generations who will remember you. It just is a fact. So spend a good part of your life living for you. You... Continue reading

Living with Chronic Pain, How to Help when You Cannot Change a Thing

I've been dealing with Chronic Pain for several years. It's annoying. It's sometimes excruciating. It interferes with every single thing I do: Sleeping, sitting, walking standing, bending, turning around, showering, getting dressed or styling my hair, reading a book, cooking, gardening, crafting, and more--much more. Of late, it interferes the... Continue reading

Making the Right Choice

It's easier for me to make moral decisions than those which demand an exchange of money for comfort. I've often sacrificed my health to avoid spending money we need for other things-- housing, food and security. And then came blurred vision, glare from lamps, headlights and sun. Impaired night vision.... Continue reading

Marriage Begins after the Wedding

Some folks think the "wedding" is marriage. But, marriage is so much more than a beautiful day of childhood dreams. THE RECESSIONAL: After the bride and groom are pronounced man and wife, they walk down that aisle together and leave behind respective mothers, fathers, family and guests. It is they...

I Don't Know How You Feel

We cannot know for certain how another person feels--the depth of their pain...their emptiness, loss or fear. We may think we know how a person feels when we see them under fire, trial, or difficulty. We may have had some... Continue reading

How To Have a Positive Attitude

Sometimes it takes every single bit of energy a person possesses to conjure up a smidgen of positive thinking to create a positive attitude... and even then, it falls short of being helpful to endure the negative forces one faces in life. Yet, we try. For me, I've found the... Continue reading

When Plans Fall Apart
